history

Until the church is planted

Absberg was first mentioned in a document in 948. In 1455 the place got the right to the ban on blood . After the von Absberg family died out in 1647, whose ancestral seat was the abandoned Absberg Castle , in 1651 the Teutonic Order received the Imperial Fief of Absberg after several years of inheritance disputes. In 1725 Karl Heinrich von Hornstein built the Absberg Castle . The office of the Coming Ellingen of the Teutonic Order, occupied by Prussia in 1796, was exchanged with the Principality of Ansbach in the Treaty of Paris (February 1806) to form the Kingdom of Bavaria. The rights of the Teutonic Order were sequestered by Bavaria in 1806 , although de jure it was not abolished until 1809. In 1818 the political municipality was established.

Incorporations

Until the municipal reform , Absberg belonged to the former district of Gunzenhausen . On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality of Kalbensteinberg was incorporated with its Igelsbach district. All places came to the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen.
