FORCHHEIM

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 640 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FORCHHEIM , a town of Germany, in the kingdom of Bavaria, near the confluence of the Wiesent and the Regnitz, 16 m. S.S.E. of
Bamberg
 . Pop. (1905) 8417. It has four Roman Catholic churches, including the
Gothic
  Collegiate church and a
Protestant
  church. Among the other public buildings are the progymnasium and an orphanage. The
industries
  of the town include spinning and weaving, bleaching and dyeing, bone and glue works, brewing and
paper
 -making. The spacious chateau occupies the site of the Carolingian palace which was destroyed in 1246.
Forchheim is of very early origin, having been the residence of the Carolingian sovereigns, including Charlemagne, in the 9th century. Consequently many diets were held here, and here also
Conrad
  I. and Louis the Child were chosen German kings. The town was given by the emperor
Henry
  II. in 1007 to the bishopric of
Bamberg
 , and, except for a short period during the 11th century, it remained in the possession of the bishops until 1802, when it was ceded to Bavaria. In August 1796 a battle took place near Forchheim between the French and the Austrians. The fortifications of the town were dismantled in 1838.
See Hubsch, Chronik der Stadt Forchheim (Niireniberg, 1867).
