history

Burgambach was first mentioned in a document in 1258. At that time it was a fiefdom of the Castell counts . Until the 15th century they owned the small castle, which still exists today as a stately home. The Casteller Ministerials von Wiesenbronn also owned here. In 1659 a case of fornication was on record in the village.

In 1806 the area became part of Bavaria . The Bavarian original cadastre shows Burgambach in the 1810s as a clustered village with 26 hearths and a mill. In 1820 there were 35 stoves.

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the previously independent municipality of Burgambach was incorporated into Scheinfeld on January 1, 1972.
