history

Until the church is planted

During the witch hunt in the Hochstift Eichstätt , at least two women from Schernfeld and Langensallach were accused as alleged witches and sentenced to death in 1617 and 1618 respectively.

The office of the Hochstift Eichstätt belonged to the Franconian Empire from 1500 and fell in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 with the largest part of the Hochstift area to the Principality of Eichstätt of the Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany . Since the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, the place, like large parts of Franconia, has belonged to Bavaria (see also the history of Franconia ).

The municipality part of Birkhof was first mentioned in 1186 as Birchach .

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on November 15, 1985 by the government of Upper Bavaria.

Blazon : "Under the split shield head, in the front in silver a continuous red bar cross, in the back a silver flaming sword and a silver arrow crossed diagonally in blue, in red a silver ammonite."

In the center of the coat of arms there is an ammonite - the fossilization of a species of mollusc that lived around 150 million years ago - as a reference to the numerous fossil finds in the Jurassic quarries of the municipality on the heights of the Eichstätter Alb; Many of these finds are exhibited in the Harthof Museum. The head of the shield symbolizes the church patronage in the municipality: the cross stands for St. Georg in Schernfeld, the arrow for St. Sebastian in Sappenfeld and for St. Egidius in Schönfeld, and the flaming sword for St. Michael in Rupertsbuch. The red and silver coloring is reminiscent of the former territorial rule of the Eichstätt Monastery, the blue and silver of the Rebdorf monastery, which was historically important as a landowner for the municipality.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Theodor Goerge from Freising .
