Reichenbach, also known as Reichenbach am Regen, is a municipality in the district of Cham in Bavaria, Germany. It lies on the river Regen, approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Regensburg. The town is home to the Kloster Reichenbach, a former Benedictine monastery and baroque church dating back to the Middle Ages. Currently living within the renovated monastery are more than 400 people with physical and mental disabilities and about 500 staff. This makes it the most important employer in the region.

Geography

Reichenbach lies in the Falkensteiner Vorwald, in the middle Regental, on the river Regen. To the north and west it borders with Walderbach, to the south with Wald and to the west with Nittenau (District Schwandorf)

Subdivisions

The municipality of Reichenbach is subdivided in seven localities:

• Heimhof
• Hochgart
• Kaltenbach
• Kienleiten
• Linden
• Reichenbach
• Windhof

As of November 1, 2013, a part of the dissolved municipality-free area of Einsiedler and Walderbacher Forst was incorporated into Reichenbach.

History

Early history and Middle Ages

The first human presence in the area of Reichenbach may date back to the Paleolithic Age. This is proved by the findings of hunting weapons and sacrificial altars in the surrounding districts.

The settlement in the valley of the river Regen lies on a ford and was the center of a manorial district in the early Middle Ages. 1118 saw the founding of the Reichenbach monastery and from then on the history of the settlement became heavily intertwined with that of the monastery.

Reichenbach experienced an early bloom in the first decades of its existence. After the Wittelsbach dynasty took over the Vogtei (bailiwick) in 1204, Reichenbach lost its regional importance. At the beginning of the 15th century, the monastery was largely rebuilt in Gothic style and surrounded by fortifications. These averted the Hussite invasions in 1428 and 1433.

Under the principle of cuius regio, eius religio after 1555 it was up to the ruler to determine the religion of his subjects. Otto Henry, Elector Palatinate from 1556 to 1559, made official the Lutheran confession and dissolved the monastery in 1556. In Reichenbach, it was up to Johannes Hagnus, a graduate of the University of Wittenberg, to enforce the regulation. During the subsequent reign of Elector Friedrich III (1559-1576), who was a follower of the reformated Calvinist school, Hagnus was dismissed together with many other Lutheran clergymen. Around 1570 many works of art inside the Reichenbach monastery were destroyed by Calvinist iconoclasts.

From 1626, the new Electorate of Bavaria, re-catholicized Reichenbach. Under the new Electoral administration in 1661, Benedictines moved again into the monastery which fell from 1669 under the management of the St. Emmeram Abbey in Regensburg. In 1695, the monastery became again an independent abbey and experienced a second flourishing.

18th and 19th centuries

With the dissolution and secularization of the monastery in 1803, the lively scientific and literary activity of the Reichenbach Benedictines came to an end. Since then, the church has been a filial church of the parish of Walderbach. The monastery initially became state property, before the buildings were auctioned off in 1820. The monastery buildings found various uses, including an earthenware factory founded in 1841 by Heinrich Waffler, which he operated until 1863.

View of the Reichenbach monastery

On February 20, 1882, the Reichenbach Volunteer Fire Department was founded due to several fires in the village. The citizens joined together to form a community and purchased firefighting equipment. 56 citizens were among the founding members. Statutes were drawn up, the first purpose of which was to provide service in case of fire danger for the protection of persons and their property, first in the village of Reichenbach, then also in the surrounding area. The first Captain was Alois Pestenhofer.

In 1890 the order of the Barmherzigen Brüder (Brothers of Mercy) took over the monastery buildings and established a sanatorium and nursing home for the mentally and physically handicapped.

In 1893, the monastery began to operate its own brewery. At the beginning of the Holy Week, the planned construction of the new and larger water pipeline was started. The springs were located at the Windhof.

In 1897, during the night of September 23-24, a fire broke out in the monastery buildings. The fire spread at breakneck speed, and 140 fosterlings had to be evacuated. Of great help was the new water pipe, as the adjacent pond was already pumped dry after a short time. The fire raged for eight days, and even after six weeks, glowing debris was still being pulled out of the rubble. The fire did not claim any human lives, but the monastery remained only a smoking ruin. The people of Reichenbach lent a huge hand in the reconstruction. Around Christmas 1897, the fosterlings who had been transferred to Straubing and Attl could be brought back. As a result of the fire, a permanent night watchman was employed in Reichenbach in 1898.

At the turn of the 19th century, the village was in bitter poverty. The population was mostly rural, and there was not enough food for the cattle. Many residents had no proper homes, adequate clothing, or a steady income. Many residents cycled great distances to neighbouring towns like Wackersdorf and Maxhütte to earn scant wages. Others saw emigrating to America as their only hope of survival.

Beginning of the 20th century

In 1900, the tavern in the monastery was closed. For the washhouse and garden, a new water pipe was installed, since the one built in 1893 did not supply enough water in dry weather. In 1908, under Father Eberhard Forstner from Kaisheim, the Reichenbach mortuary was built. He had a hopfield planted near the monastery, the yield of which was quite sufficient to meet the needs of the monastery's brewery. In addition, a granite quarry was discovered between Windhof and the nearby forest, where a field forge was built at the same time.

The biggest and best work of the prior was the construction of the road Kienleiten-Roßbach (today's Kreisstraße CHA 25). The road conditions in Reichenbach were at the time very bad. The only road to the monastery led through the village (Pfisterstraße) and there were massive difficulties with the neighbors during the construction. In 1911, under Prior Father Sympert Fleischmann, the infrastructure in the village was improved. His main focus was to push the continuation of the road to Roßbach. Half of the village was canalized and a wide road crossed through Reichenbach. A new water pipeline was built for about 20 houses in Reichenbach. This water pipeline was in operation until the introduction of the district-wide water supply in 1967. Users were allowed to use the water only after being boiled because bacteria were repeatedly found in it.

First World War and the inter-war period

The First World War (1914-1918) claimed its victims also in Reichenbach. The men of the village and also 23 brothers were drafted into military service, with 25 not surviving the war and 5 going missing. During the war, food had already become very scarce, therefore ration stamps were issued in town. This situation continued for a long time after the war. In addition, came extreme inflation, which rendered money worthless.

Starting in 1919, an electrically operated grinding mill was put into operation, which was discontinued in 1943 by order of the authorities. On May 1st, 1920, electricity generated from steam was brought to the monastery.

In 1921, in view of the general housing shortage in the community of Reichenbach, all immigration from outside the community was prohibited as of March 1. In 1922 the water turbine on the nearby Regen River was improved. Then in 1923 electric light was introduced in the whole community. The currency reform in 1923 brought a great improvement.

In 1924, a devastating fire struck the monastery during the night of March 2 to 3. The woodyard and the barn burned down completely. All supplies of fodder and straw, together with many wagons and plows were lost. Already on March 5, the monastery bell announced another fire. This time a barn in Kienleiten was on fire. Thanks to prompt intervention, the nearby residential house could be saved. On March 7, two days later, there was a third fire alarm. Now the house next to it burned down.

Also in 1924, the monastery's own sawmill was built. During the completion phase of the hydroelectric power plant on the Regen River, two floods occurred. The rain rolled in enormous masses of water and the building threatened to collapse. These events delayed the construction, which was finally completed in 1926. It now had a capacity of 20 horsepower.

In 1927, the municipal council decided to levy a beer tax, 1 Reichsmark per hectoliter, as of July 1. Effective December 11, 1927, at the request of the monastery, the tax on beer was reduced to 50 pfennig.

From 1933, Reichenbach and the monastery were not spared by the terror of the Nazi regime. Disabled people housed in the monastery, considered "unworthy of life" at that time, suffered inhumane atrocities.

Second World War

Of the men drafted from the town, 31 were killed in action and 6 were missing. In contrast to the First World War, the civilian population was also directly affected by the acts of war in the Second World War and often had to leave their homes and seek shelter in the cellars of the monastery.

When Nittenau was bombed, Reichenbach citizens were also among those seriously injured and killed. Because of the air raids, all windows had to be darkened from the inside. This was mandatory and its enactment was strictly controlled. Forced labourers from occupied areas of the German Reich, mainly France and Poland, were also used in Reichenbach, mostly in agricultural operations. In 1942, bell tolls had to be paid again, and only the smallest bell remained in the clock tower.

End of the war and postwar period

Towards the end of the war, the monastery became home to a military training camp where the Hitler Youth was to be trained for service at the front. The commander of the camp wanted to resist the approaching American troops and had tank barriers erected. The American response was clear: if even one shot was fired, Reichenbach would be bombed. Thereupon the population fled to Hochgart. The commander also fled but was captured and shot by the Americans in Falkenstein a short time later.

When the Allies approached, the Flossenbürg concentration camp was evacuated. On the death march that followed, the prisoners passed also through Reichenbach. Since it was night, some of them took the chance and dared to escape to the Häring brewery. Some of them were shot immediately, few others hid in barns. On April 24, 1945, American troops occupied the Reichenbach monastery. For the villagers and especially the children, who had never seen a person with a different skin color, the black soldiers were a surprise. The occupation of Reichenbach by the Americans passed without major incidents.

After the war, Reichenbach had also to accommodate many refugees. Just as in World War I, food was issued only on ration stamps, both during the war and afterwards. The villagers were partly able to provide for themselves since almost all of them had at least a small farm.

In 1946 the re-erection of the host cross took place and on June 9 the wooden cross was consecrated at the end of the eight-day mission of the Reichenbach branch.

In 1948 the currency reform took place. The village was hit by a flood in 1954. The Regenbrücke remained impassable for one day. On April 22, 1959, another major fire broke out in an attic of the east wing of the monastery. The large-scale alarm called about 20 fire departments from the surrounding area to the scene, including the professional fire department from Regensburg. The then District Administrator Franz Sackmann immediately mobilized the authorities and initiated all safety measures to protect the endangered artworks. Even a pioneer unit of the Bundeswehr from Bogen was sent. The damage caused by the fire was considerable. It amounted to 172.700,- DM (approx. 88.000 €) (To measure the damage: The weekly earnings of a well-paid monastery employee at that time amounted to 35.00 DM/ca. 18 €).

Contemporary history

Reichenbacher bridge

Presumably, was already before the founding of the monastery Reichenbach 1118 a transition on the rain had been created, because it has also led a street of Cham over Reichenbach and Roßbach after Regensburg, Falkenstein and Straubing. The Reichenbacher bridge was mentioned for the first time in 1743 or 1744, when a flood damaged the bridge. 1750 cracks Eisstoß the wooden bridge away. Then the village and monastery had set dwellers with barges on the rain. In the wake of the secularization of 1803 the Bavarian builder of the bridge shaft of the community was over Reichenbach. The 1831 flood schwemmte the rain again built another bridge times continued. The creation of a new bridge was vital, since beyond the rain flow fields, and wood Hutweiden beaten and the proceeds anyway barely sufficient for survival. For the people who have horses with the bridge befuhren or for agricultural purposes had to use, there was the "bridge guilders" or "bridge duty." The bridge was always the biggest "problem child" of the community. The citizens always protested against the guilder to pay bridge and the councilors wanted the maintenance of the bridge to the county Roding pass. This was finally in 1924, probably in the course of expanding the feeder road (Districtstraße) for new railway errichtenten "Falkenstein - Regensburg." (From that time comes, the expansion of the existing main road - better known as "New Road" - current Pfister the road replacing Hauptstraße as. The formerly narrow path, similar to the Kirchsteig, has been under great protest of the riparian and with enormous effort, greatly widened.) Even the battle with the Bavarian State was terminated, so that these funds made available to a new wooden bridge to be built. After extinguishing the fire works at the monastery 1959 by the inadequate bearing capacity of the wooden bridge has been obstructed, another bridge was begun. Of the total cost of DM 810,000, the county only had 70,000 DM of its own resources to expend. The Reichenbach community had only 15,000 DM for the bridge ramp to afford. As the present bridge was completed, it was seen as the "most modern prestressed concrete bridge in the Upper Palatinate".

Territorial reform

The primary school in Reichenbach was dissolved at the beginning of the 1970/71 school year, since the students attend the community school in the Reichenbach Walderbach. By the end of the war, there were the municipalities Reichenbach, and Tiefenbach Treidling. The latter was disbanded in 1945. Reichenbach came to town the hamlet of Linden, Tiefenbach, Heimhof, Windhof, Treidling (name meaning: Treideln,-ing), while Middle Duke, wide-Prince and Gumpinger to the community forest. In 1972 the territory voted to reform the county town allotment to Cham, subject to that community to community forest management and forest Erbach with headquarters in Reichenbach could form. Should the community forest Erbach, the city Roding connect and the community forest remains independently, so the town wanted Reichenbach connection to the city and county Nittenau Schwandorf search. A Roding after incorporation was due to the distance of 15 km rejected. Through this reform area lost the town of Reichenbach 17.7% of its total area. The hamlet of Forestry, hunters height, Treidling and Holzseige (except Kaltenbach), and later even Tiefenbach, came to town Nittenau. Among the missing Gewerbesteuereinhamen, including the quarry in Treidling, the town still suffers today, because there was no compensation. The Reichenbach community remained independent, but formed an administrative branch along with the Walderbach community.

Development of the town

1975 finally made the construction of the drainage system (sewage). In 1976 the Johann-of-God-workshops were created. This is a workshop for Pfleglinge of the monastery, as well as external Pfleglinge.

In 1984 the era of "brewery Härig Reichenbach" came to an end. The brewery was founded in 1756. The last owners Anna and George Häring died in 1978.

In 1991, the kindergarten of St. Paul on the operation. Mid-July 1993 celebrated the town and the monastery "Kloster Reichenbach 875 years." Over the years, further construction expelled. 1998, the inauguration of the family chapel Reisinger Kienleiten in honor of St. Catherine instead.

In 1999, in the context of urban development of "Margrave-Dipold Square" (church) and the Eustachius-Kugler-road rehabilitated. On January 1, 2000 the new millennium was celebrated punctually at 12:00 o'clock with a huge fireworks display in the former convent garden. In 2001, the county road CHA 25 (main street) in Reichenbach up area was completely renovated and a sidewalk was built.

2002 flood

In August 2002 Reichenbach and all the other areas in the path rainwater flow were ravaged unprecedented flood. On the evening of August 12, the fire started in the youth campground spaces. On the night of 13 August, the disaster alert for the county Cham by the District Theo Zellner and the crisis in the county Cham exclaimed. It was already was clear at that time to everyone that this flood and exceeds all expectations of a new century will flood. The highest level of alarm has already been sounded at about 10 o'clock. At the same time as the floods began operation in Reichenbach. From 6 o'clock until 2 the next morning, the level was no longer measured due to the enormous amount of water. The UMS fell out. The lower riparian rain have been badly affected. In some streets the water was part of two meters above the road surface. The water level reached fortunately, a few centimeters of rain 22 bridge clock against its climax. Thus, the bridge will not be blocked.

A year later, the waterfront promenade was completely redesigned. 2005 qualifying competition at the municipality "Our village has a future" for the ruling circle. On a rainy day in 2006, the jury a picture of the place. Despite the bad weather was Reichenbach the silver medal.

Persuade them, among other things Lourdesgrotte in the apse of the monastery church, which was inaugurated in 1895, and the mountain chapel in the street Pfister. The latter was built in 1935. The rock beside the chapel served the villagers during the Second World War as a protective bunker.
