Litzendorf is a community in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg. Owing to administrative reform it has been a unified community since 1 May 1978. Geography Litzendorf and most of its outlying centres lie in the Ellern Valley, which is surrounded by wooded heights with the Bamberg district's two highest elevations, the Geisberg (585 m) and the Stammberg (560 m). Constituent communities Litzendorf's namesake centre is not the biggest of its ''Ortsteile''. Pödeldorf is somewhat bigger. The community has these centres, each given here with its own population figure: Neighbouring communities History The derivation of the name ''Litzendorf'' is unclear. It could have come from the Slavic word ''lyko'' ("bast") or from the Germanic word ''litzel'' ("little"). In Merovingian and Carolingian times, when the villages, which were likely of Frankish and Slavic origin, arose, the Ellern Valley was still heavily wooded. The name Litzendorf first cropped up in 1129 in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ortsteil
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Germanic Languages
The Germanic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people mainly in Europe, North America, Oceania and Southern Africa. The most widely spoken Germanic language, English, is also the world's most widely spoken language with an estimated 2 billion speakers. All Germanic languages are derived from Proto-Germanic, spoken in Iron Age Scandinavia. The West Germanic languages include the three most widely spoken Germanic languages: English with around 360–400 million native speakers; German, with over 100 million native speakers; and Dutch, with 24 million native speakers. Other West Germanic languages include Afrikaans, an offshoot of Dutch, with over 7.1 million native speakers; Low German, considered a separate collection of unstandardized dialects, with roughly 4.35–7.15 million native speakers and probably 6.7–10 million people who can understand it [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Slavic Languages
The Slavic languages, also known as the Slavonic languages, are Indo-European languages spoken primarily by the Slavs, Slavic peoples and their descendants. They are thought to descend from a proto-language called Proto-Slavic language, Proto-Slavic, spoken during the Early Middle Ages, which in turn is thought to have descended from the earlier Proto-Balto-Slavic language, linking the Slavic languages to the Baltic languages in a Balto-Slavic languages, Balto-Slavic group within the Indo-European family. The Slavic languages are conventionally (that is, also on the basis of extralinguistic features) divided into three subgroups: East Slavic languages, East, South Slavic languages, South, and West Slavic languages, West, which together constitute more than 20 languages. Of these, 10 have at least one million speakers and official status as the national languages of the countries in which they are predominantly spoken: Russian language, Russian, Belarusian language, Belarusian ...

Heiligenstadt (Upper Franconia)
Heiligenstadt in Oberfranken (officially: Heiligenstadt i. OFr.) is a community with market rights in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg. The town clusters round the base of Schloss Greifenstein. To further tourism the old school was converted into today's town hall, the historic marketplace was remodelled, and at Easter it is adorned with an Easter fountain.

Unusual for an Evangelical church is the elaborate Baroque painting on the wooden galleries and the panelled ceilings. Geography Heiligenstadt ...

Memmelsdorf
Memmelsdorf is a community in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg bordering in the west directly on the city of Bamberg. History As with most places in the Bamberg district, this community's exact founding time cannot be established. However, looking back through the properties of the royal chamber estate in ''Memmelsdorf'' yields a founding time sometime about 900. Since there were no local monasteries at that time, there is today a lack of historical accounts about settlement here. About 1120, evidence crops up of ''Mam’s'', ''Mamo’s'' or ''Memo’s'' village (''Dorf'' in German). A Frank by the name of ''Mamo'' is the namesake of ''Memenstorf'', ''Memistorf'', ''Mamestorf'' or ''Mamenestorf'' – the place now known as ''Memmelsdorf''. From road names that have been handed down it is assumed that this founding, lying between two brooks, safeguarded old traffic routes. * 900 Founding of the royal chamber estate * 1120 Founding of Mamo's village * 1248 Founding of Mem ...
