Until the church is planted

Settlement areas 50 AD

Numerous finds from the Celtic period prove the early settlement. At the turn of the times, Elbe Germans invaded the area. A Germanic burial ground in the area of ​​the Neubert Baggersee was used for around 450 years. Around the year 50 the place was in the middle of the settlement area of ​​the Narisker tribe .

While Altendorf was first mentioned as a Slavic round village in 1096, the Seussling district was mentioned as a church village as early as 800. One of the 14 Slavic churches from the time of Charlemagne's Slav mission stood here . The Seusslings parish reached far into the Steigerwald .

Altendorf belonged before the secularization of the Bishopric of Bamberg , and from 1500 also to the Frankish Empire circle . Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 the place belongs to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
