geography

The small village (officially the place type "Weiler" is given) is about eight kilometers north of Marxheim on the foothills of the Franconian Alb .

history

From 1305 the village in the former county of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach belonged to the Hofmark Tagmersheim . Just a year later, the place became a parish. To the north-west of the village was the church of St. Wolfgang, built in the 14th century and renovated in 1516. The church building has not been used since 1542 after the sovereign , Duke Ottheinrich , converted to Protestantism . The once much-visited pilgrimage site , of which the north wall and west gable are still preserved, has been in ruins since 1623 at the latest. From 1762 to 1791 there was a hermitage at the ruins . The Klausner, a certain Felix Zirchi from Eichstätt , worked there as a teacher.

The landmark of the village, which is still dominated by agriculture, is the Catholic parish church of St. Gallus, which was rebuilt by the lords of the court in 1735/36 and still has a late Romanesque tower. Your parish includes the former municipality of Burgmannshofen and the neighboring village of Blossenau .

Ubersfeld was until June 30, 1972 part of the municipality of Burgmannshofen, which was incorporated into Marxheim as part of the municipal reform .

The rectory built in 1714, unused and dilapidated for decades, was demolished in 2002 after renovation had proven to be too expensive.
