history

Weihenzell in 1680
Weihenzell during the first recording (first measurement), approx. 1824

The place was first mentioned by name as "Celle" in a feudal deed of Bishop Manegold zu Würzburg from March 29, 1299. A cell is a farm yard of a monastery. In the case of Weihenzell, it was St. Gumbertus Monastery that founded the place. Due to the distance to the monastery, this will not have happened in the early period (8th / 9th centuries), but it must have taken place before 1012, as the monastery was converted into a canon in that year. It was not mentioned until 1307/08 with the addition of Wigencelle . The place name probably contains the personal name Wigo . According to E. Fechter, a derivation of mhd. Wîh (= "holy") is also possible.

According to the 16-point report of the Ansbach Regional Office from 1684, Weihenzell formed a community with cell rugs and garlic mill . In Weihenzell 21 teams are recorded: The four farms, twelve estates, three estates and two houses were subordinate to the Hofkastenamt Ansbach , whereby seven estates had to be handed over to the Stiftsamt Ansbach . The community owned a school house, a shepherd's house, a shepherd's house, a fishing water and 254 acres of wood. There was also a parish church and a rectory. The high court and the village and community authority exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbachische Hofkastenamt Ansbach.

At the end of the 18th century there were 26 properties in Weihenzell. The court box office in Ansbach continued to exercise the high court and the village and community rule. All properties had the Principality of Ansbach (Hofkastenamt Ansbach: 25, Stiftsamt Ansbach: 1) as the landlord . In addition to the households, there were the following ecclesiastical and communal buildings: church, rectory, schoolhouse, shepherd's house, sheep house and crushing house . The district forester's house was a stately building. At that time there were 24 subject families.

In 1792 Prussia acquired the Principality of Ansbach, which means that Weihenzell was also under Prussian administration. From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the judiciary and chamber office of Ansbach .

As part of the principality, Weihenzell fell to Bavaria through an exchange in the Treaty of Paris (February 1806) . As part of the municipal edict, the Weihenzell tax district was formed in 1808 , to which Adelmannsdorf , Beutellohe , Höfen , Neumühle , Papiermühle , Steinmühle , Thierbach and Zellrüglingen belonged. The rural community Weihenzell was founded in 1811 and was congruent with the tax district. It was subordinate to the Ansbach Regional Court in administration and jurisdiction and to the Ansbach Rent Office ( renamed Ansbach Tax Office in 1920 ). With the second community edict (1818) Gebersdorf was surrounded by Katterbach and Grüb and Wippendorf from Hennenbach to Weihenzell. In the following period the rural community Weihenzell split up:

  • April 8, 1830: formation of the rural community Grüb with Gebersdorf and Wippendorf;
  • July 27, 1830: Adelmannsdorf and Höfen are reorganized into the newly formed community of Haasgang .

Since then, only Beutellohe, Neumühle, Papiermühle, Steinmühle, Thierbach and Zellrüglingen belonged to the rural community of Weihenzell. From 1862 on, Weihenzell was administered by the Ansbach District Office (renamed the Ansbach District in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court of Ansbach until 1870, 1870-1879 city ​​and district court Ansbach , since 1880 district court Ansbach . In 1885 the municipality had an area of ​​11.413 km².

An important decision was made in 1859: the Ansbach – Gunzenhausen railway line will not be extended to Weihenzell; so the industrial development passed the village. During the Second World War, 60 people died as a result of the war; after 1945 mainly displaced persons from the Sudetengau were accepted. The population increased and more Catholics were registered.

Founding of the coat of arms: The Weihenzell community has consisted of the formerly independent communities of Forst, Grub, Haasgang, Wernsbach and Weihenzell since 1971.
