Weiding is a municipality in the district of Schwandorf in Bavaria, Germany.
In the 10th and 11th centuries, Bavarian settlers wandered from Nabburg to the east. Weiding was founded before 1270 and is one of the oldest villages of the region. [3] It frequently changed ownership and in 1803, it was finally sold to the Earl of Du Moulin-Eckart to whom it still belongs today. [4]
Weiding is located on a plateau with the mountain Frauenstein to the southwest and the Hüttenbach-valley to the east, with the hamlets Reimermühle, Sägmühle, Andreasthal and Löwenthal. [5]
In 1280 a stone church of St. Nikolaus is mentioned in an urbarium. [7] It was destroyed by the Hussites in the 15th century. [8] The rebuilt church burned down in 1836. [9] The current church was built in 1842 and like the others dedicated to St. Nikolaus. [10] To the parish of Weiding belong also the church St. Laurentius of Schönau and the church St. Michael of Hannesried. [11] 95% of the inhabitants of Weiding are Catholics. [12]

The Holy Way came about as a result of the canonization of Bishop Benno of Meissen. It led from Bohemia to Meissen and ran between Grillenburg and Wilsdruff in the present-day district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge in the opposite direction and parallel with the Saxon St. James' Way. Original sections of the route have survived, for example in the Tharandt Forest between Grillenburg and Spechtshausen.

The Neckar-Odenwald Limes is a collective term for two, very different early sections of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, a Roman defensive frontier line that may have been utilised during slightly different periods in history. The Neckar-Odenwald Limes consists of the northern Odenwald Limes (Odenwaldlimes), a cross-country limes with camps, watchtowers and palisades, which linked the River Main with the Neckar, and the adjoining southern Neckar Limes (Neckarlimes), which in earlier research was seen as a typical 'riverine limes', whereby the river replaced the function of the palisade as an approach obstacle. More recent research has thrown a different light on this way of viewing things that means may have to be relativized in future. The resulting research is ongoing.
