The spectacular discovery of a hand ax from quartzite , shows in 1989 in a clay pit a brickyard that man already in the Lower Palaeolithic was (500,000 v. Chr.) In the corridor around the present Attenfeld move, the then south of the ancient Danube was. Further finds were made from the Middle and Neolithic (8000 to 1800 BC). The first settlements date from the Bronze and Hallstatt Ages . This is evidenced by finds of settlement pits, ceramics and broken glass as well as barrows .

A manor was found between Attenfeld and Igstetter Hof from Roman times ; on the latter a Roman milestone from the 3rd century AD came to light as early as 1631 (original today in Mannheim ). Attenfeld itself is first mentioned in the land register of Marshal von Pappenheim in 1214 as "Attenvelt". The name could be derived from "Odinsfeld", field of Odin, or from "Attafeld", the fathers field.

Since 1219 the parish has belonged to the Cistercian monastery and imperial monastery in Kaisheim , but it belonged to the bishop of Eichstätt. There was a local nobility: In 1291 and 1304 Heinrich von Attenfeld is mentioned as Vogt of Count von Hirschberg . 1321 a Chunrad Attenvelder is called. The Attenfelder owned several places: They held the Meierhof von Kirchanhausen until around 1435 as a count or episcopal fief, and in Eglofsdorf Cohel (= Kunz) Attenfelder owned an estate in the 15th century.

In 1656 the prince-bishopric of Eichstätt exchanged Attenfeld to Pfalz-Neuburg for the place Pfalzpaint in the Altmühltal , since 1509 Palatinate-Neuburg sovereign territory in the middle of the Eichstätt area.

Municipality default to the village of Bergen belonging, gained Attenfeld 1839 independence and formed - together with the farmstead "Hof Igstetter" than the rest of a medieval village parish - a separate municipality. With the municipal area reform of the Free State of Bavaria, the place came on May 1, 1978 to the municipality of Bergheim.

Attractions

The Attenfeld church “St. Aegidius ” , a branch church of Egweil , is originally a late Romanesque building from the 12th and 13th centuries. A new altar was consecrated in 1713, which was replaced by a new, early classical altar in 1803, which was renewed in 1848. The carved figures of St. Aegidius, Antonius and Walburga. The side altars show paintings with St. Cecilia and the Adoration of the Shepherds. In 1730 the church was given a tower on the east gable. In 1911 the interior was completely renovated and a new Bittner organ was installed .

The forest chapel "Willibaldsruh" , located about 1 km northwest in "Brunnholz", was originally made of wood. It is already shown on a regional court map from 1588. In the first half of the 19th century at the latest, it was replaced by a stone building. Next to it lies a larger, naturally perforated chalk quartzite (there are several karst stones of this type in the Attenfeld Forest). The legend says that St. Willibald , coming from Eichstätt as a missionary, rested here and was able to quench his thirst in a miraculous way.

The St. Helena chapel is located in Igstetten (formerly also: Ittstetten) . It probably goes back to the 18th century. The previous building, the parish church of St. Helena consecrated in 1057 by Eichstätter Bishop Gundekar II, was removed by the 17th century at the latest.
