History
Lisberg is noticeable even from far away for the "Burg Lisberg". This
castle had its first documentary mention in 820 in a donation document, and it is amongGermany ’s oldest undestroyed castles. From 1600 to 1707, the Protestant line of theBaron s ofMünster held Lisberg as afief , and then until 1790 the Catholic line did so. The castle is now privately owned. Concerts are sometimes held in the castle’s courtyard.The palatial residence ("Schloss") in the outlying centre of Trabelsdorf was acquired in 1664 by the Marshals of Ostheim and in 1700 it was newly built. It now houses the administrative community ("Verwaltungsgemeinschaft") of Lisberg (whose member communities are Lisberg and
Priesendorf ) and a medical practice.With the Act of the
Confederation of the Rhine in 1806, the Barons of Münster-Lisberg saw their overlordship pass toBavaria . The community of Lisberg has existed since 1978, consisting of the two formerly autonomous communities of Lisberg and Trabelsdorf.South of Lisberg can be found a Jewish
graveyard on a plot of higher ground with some 130 gravestones. In Lisberg, about 1825, there were 17Jew ish families. The number had shrunk so sharply by the early 20th century, however, that thesynagogue was sold.Politics
The mayor is Peter Deusel (ÜPL).
Lisberg’s municipal council consists of 12 members besides the mayor, 6 of whom likewise belong to the ÜPL, and the other 6 of whom are
CSU members.In 1999, municipal tax revenue, converted to
euro s, amounted to €640,000 of which business taxes (net) amounted to €115,000.Culture and sport
Lisberg is regularly the venue for the so-called "Donnersbergklassiker" (“Thunder Mountain Classic”), a
cycling race around the Steigerwald (forest).External links
