Until the church is planted

Burtenbach is thought to have been founded around 700 - 800 AD. This is indicated by former barrows, the remains of two square entrenchments and various finds. The place name is interpreted differently, as Burto or Burgito am Bach, as Furt am Bach (Mindel) or also as Burren (Berg) am Bach.

In the 13th century the place belonged to the noble rule of Eberstall and later to the lords of Berg (Burgau), the later margraviate and the dukes of Baiern.
