Altendorf, Upper Franconia
Altendorf (German pronunciation: [ˈaltn̩ˌdɔʁf], lit. 'old village') is a municipality in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany.
Altendorf lies in the Oberfranken-West (Upper Franconia West) Region.
The namesake centre of Altendorf has 1,544 inhabitants while the outlying amalgamated centre of Seußling (or Seussling) has 542 (as of 1 January 2003).
The community also has two traditional rural land units, known in German as Gemarkungen, also named Altendorf and Seußling (it is traditional for a Gemarkung to be named after a town or village lying nearby).
Before Secularization, Altendorf belonged to the High Monastery at Bamberg. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the community has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today's community came into being under the Gemeindeedikt (“Community Edict”) of 1818.
Many finds from Celtic times point to early settlement. While Altendorf was first mentioned as a Slavic round village in 1096, the outlying centre of Seußling had already been mentioned as a church village by 800. Here stood one of Charlemagne’s 14 Slavic churches (Slavenkirchen). Seußling's parochial area reached well into the Steigerwald (forest).
The Catholic church in Altendorf is affiliated with Sankt Bartholomäus, Buttenheim. Also within the community is the Catholic parish of Sankt-Sigismund Seußling.
The parish church of St. Sigismund received its patronage when Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor had the saint's bones transferred from Saint-Maurice in the Swiss canton of Valais to Prague. The shrine was also set down in Seußling, holding one of the dead king's arms as a relic in the parish church.
