history

Coming from Böhming , a Roman road led from the valley up the Blumenberg and on via Wemding to Nördlingen . Its route was still important well into the 18th century, because this road was the only one that went from Eichstätt up to the Jura heights. A border column from 1600 stands where the old (and current) road reaches the top. It shows the Hochstift coat of arms on the front and the coat of arms of the then Prince-Bishop Johann Konrad von Gemmingen on the reverse .

In the Middle Ages there was a “Plumenhof”, which was deserted in the 15th century and which was finally abandoned. In 1415 the Eichstatt citizen Agnes Profitlin sold it to the Rebdorf monastery . In 1451 there is talk of the "Plumenberg"; here the tree line ran between the Rebdorf monastery and the town of Eichstätt. In 1469, the Eichstatt prince-bishop Wilhelm von Reichenau from the Rebdorf monastery exchanged the castle stables and the village of Raitenbuch for a third of the ten on the "Plumenberg". In the same year the monastery bought a “Gütlein” on the “Bluemenberg” from the Domkapitelschen Neustift “Our Lady” in Eichstätt. During the Thirty Years' War , the Swedes appeared on June 14, 1633 on their train to Nuremberg on the Blumenberg and extorted 90,000 guilders “fire tax” from the city of Eichstätt.

A new settlement took place between 1830 and 1836 by a quarry owner who built a house on the Blumenberg near his quarry, in which three people lived in 1836. More houses were built, increasing since the middle of the 20th century; In 1950 there were eight residential buildings with 49 residents, in 1961 17 residential buildings with 97 residents and in 1983 230 residents. In 1877 a complete specimen of the ancient bird " Archeopteryx " was found in the Dörrschen quarry and is exhibited in the Natural History Museum in Berlin . Blumenberg was assigned to the municipality of Marienstein and came with this municipality as part of the regional reform in Bavaria on January 1, 1974 to the large district town of Eichstätt. In the 1980s there were two full-time agricultural businesses, a craft business, four slab quarries and a natural stone industrial company in the district.
