In the geographical statistical-topographical lexicon of Franconia (1801) the place is described as follows:
“Pechthal, Eichstättisches Filialkirchdorf von Raitenbuch in the Gredinger chapter Eichstätter Diöces, is 1 hour away from Raitenbuch towards evening, between the Anlauter, and the Kesselberge, on the slopes of which it stretches towards the Anlautergrund. The old castle [Sp. 314] Pechthal, also called Waldeck, the first of the now ruined 5 castles down on the Anlauter, stood above the village on the mountain, where the ruins of it are still left.
According to the old validity and interest registers, […] 43 subjects belonged to this castle.
[…] This castle was the ancestral home of an old noble family from Pechthal. In 1414 Hermann Pechthaler von Pechthal sold this seat with all of the members of Rüdigern von Erlingshofen. In 1470 the brothers Sigmund and Kaspar die Erlingshofer divided this castle, and the Eichstatt Bishop Wilhelm von Reichenau prescribed them a castle keep order. In 1544 the Palatinate-Neuburg landscape with Titting also gave half of the Pechthal Castle to the Eichstättischen Bischoffe [Sp. 315] Moriz von Hutten to buy 12,000 florins in money and delivery of the monastery property in Langenaltheim. In 1546 the Erlingshofer sold the other half of Pechthal Albrechte von Güllen for 3200 florins but this again in 1557 for 3000 florins to the Eichstatt bishop Eberhard von Hirnheim.
The church in the village of Pechthal is safe. Vitus consecrated. In 1335, the Eichstätt bishop Heinrich V exchanged a donation from Reicheneck, the patronage right there, which the emperor held as a fief of the Eichstätt church, for that to Eysolden with K. Ludwig V.
This village is completely Eichstättisch, and belongs with its 14 subjects and all high then lower authorities to the Eichstättischen maintenance and governor's office Titting Raitenbuch. "
