history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1400. From 11./12. In the 18th century , the Lunkenburg, which was already known as the Burgstall in 1400, was located near Wolfsbronn .

In the village there is a bell tower with a flat tent roof and weather vane from 1912. There is also a historic paper mill from the 18th century.

At the beginning of the 19th century, shortly before secularization , the village, which belonged to the Ansbach Oberamt Hohentrüdingen , consisted of 22 subjects. 14 were direct Ansbach subjects, 5 Pappen native and 3 Eichstätt subjects; the latter belonged to the Oberland care and caste office Sandsee - Pleinfeld . The blood jurisdiction ( Fraisch ) and the municipality rule was Ansbachisch, the station rule and the Erbtafern Eichstättisch. At that time the Mühlbach drove a mill in front of and behind the village.

With the community edict (19th century) Wolfsbronn became a politically independent community, to which the places Baierleinsmühle , Papiermühle and Sägmühle belonged. As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , this was incorporated into the community of Meinheim on October 1, 1972.
