Aimershof

Aimershof is a deserted area in the municipality of Weihenzell in the Ansbach district in Middle Franconia .

The place was first mentioned in the Lehenbuch (1303/13) of the Hochstift Würzburg as "Eidemshof". At this time the Lords of Heideck zu Vestenberg had received the bailiwick over the place as a fief. The high jurisdiction was transferred to the burgraviate of Nuremberg . In the castle Count Urbar of 1361/64 the site is listed as "Memerstorf". As a legal successor, the high court was exercised by the Brandenburg-Ansbach Hofkastenamt Ansbach . In the Salbuch of 1434 the Lords of Eyb were fiefdoms in "Meymershof". The fiefdom included 80 acres of arable land and 13 days' work in meadows. The Ansbach Gumbertuss pen was also wealthy in the village, as can be seen from a list that was made between 1442 and 1446. There a good is given for “Meymerßhoff”. The property was administered by the Weihenzell provost office. In the Salbuch of the Principality of Ansbach from 1684, a farm and two estates are recorded for “Aymershof”. The high court still exercised the court box office in Ansbach. The manor Bruckberg of the Lords of Eyb held the village and community rulership and the lordship over all properties .

Aimershof was probably devastated in the Thirty Years War . In 1729 Friedrich and Johann Franz von Eyb sold their rights to the place to the Principality of Ansbach for 4900  florins. At that time the place was considered to be empty. The place was obviously not restored, as it is no longer listed in the description of the Oberamt Ansbach from 1790 and the Ansbach district from 1801 as well as in the registers of the Rezatkreis from 1814, 1818 and later.
