location

The hamlet of Birkhof, formerly also called the "Birkhöf", is located on the plateau of the southern Franconian Jura in the Altmühltal nature park, northeast of the municipality of Greding and northwest of Beilngries. It can be reached via a spur road that branches off from the district road RH 37.

history

Birkhof was originally a solitary courtyard of the Plankstetten Benedictine monastery , which was probably divided in the 18th century.

News about the court flows sparingly. Under the Plankstetter abbot Ulrich (Udalricus V.) Dürner, elected in 1461, who ruled for 33 years, the Birkhof was acquired by exchange in 1464. In 1466 Abbot Ulrich built "2 larger barns and a smaller one for Viktualien, had a pond dug by the house and a well." In 1464 Albrecht von Wolfstein exchanged the Birkhof from the monastery for the tithe in Kruppach; by 1500 the repayment of the debts on the Birkhof was made to the monastery. In 1480 a "drinking fountain" and two cattle troughs were built in the Birkhof. In 1530 Hans Fichtner owned the farm as a monastery fief. In 1531 Leonhard Cenzner received the Birkhof on the basis of inheritance law. Because of the hardship of the French Wars, the monastery administrator, Father Benedikt Uttenberger, sold the Birkhof and other monastic property around 1686. The repurchase took place under his successor, Father Ignaz Trauner, between 1690 and 1694. When the bailiwick district of the monastery was re-established under Prince-Bishop Raymund Anton von Strasoldo as sovereign in 1769, the Birkhof also belonged to it.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, the hamlet consisted of three courtyards (one half courtyard and two quarter courtyards) that belonged to the Plankstetten monastery judge and were part of the community and the Plankstetter branch village of Litterzhofen. Highly judicially, the hamlet was subordinate to the Beilngries-Hirschberg Oberamt of the Lower Hochstift Eichstätt. He was parish in Plankstetten.

As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the lower bishopric and with it the hamlet of Birkhof came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1805/06 to the new Kingdom of Bavaria ; the Plankstetten monastery with its 13 priests was abolished on July 22nd, 1806 and dissolved on August 9th, 1806, the Birkhof was bought by private individuals. In 1809, the Landerzhofen tax district was formed from the village of Landerzhofen and the two hamlets of Attenhofen and Birkhof in the Beilngries regional court and rent office , which in 1811 became a rural community . On October 1, 1857, the municipality of Landerzhofen was incorporated into the Middle Franconian district court and rent office Greding of the Hilpoltstein district office.

In 1871, 25 horses and 229 cattle were kept in the municipality of Landerzhofen, ten of which were horses and 27 cattle in the Birkhof part of the municipality. The children went to school in Landerzhofen.

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Landerzhofen joined the municipality of Greding on January 1, 1972.
