Dietfurt in Middle Franconia (officially Dietfurt i.MFr. ) Is a parish village and district of the city of Treuchtlingen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen .

Location, traffic

Dietfurt in Middle Franconia lies on both sides of the Altmühl in the Weißenburger Alb , a ridge of the Franconian Alb , between Treuchtlingen upstream in the northwest, the Treuchtlingen district of Schambach in the Schambachtal in the northeast and Pappenheim downstream in the east-southeast. The last Schambach coming from the north flows into the Altmühl from the left opposite the old town center, the Hungerbach coming from the south a little below the town. Above the smaller part of the settlement of Dietfurt, to the left of the Altmühl, there is also the Bergnershof in the local area.

The federal road 2 leads through the village on the axis of the two mentioned side valleys. A little south of Dietfurt it crosses the state road 2230 , which like the parallel railway line Eichstätt - Treuchtlingen , which also only passes the parish village, runs through the Altmühltal. The Oberdorfstraße connects Dietfurt with Treuchtlingen. In the settlement area, the Altmühltal cycle path crosses under the main road.

history

Roman finds were made in the Dietfurter Flur. In the 18th century a Countess von Pappenheim is said to have excavated Roman ruins; as they did not find the treasure they had hoped for, they were backfilled. A Roman road column stood south of Dietfurt.

The place, located in the Gau Sualafeld , was first mentioned in a document in 802 when Reginswind, the daughter of the Franconian nobleman Germunt, gave her possessions, including goods in “Theotfurt”, to the St. Gallen monastery . King Ludwig the child exchanged this property in 902. "Diet" means an indefinite majority of people; the place name describes a settlement at a ford (over the Altmühl), "which was used by all people." Prehistoric roads and Roman roads are documented there. In 895 the place was referred to in a document as "Diotfurt". In 1035 the noble Liutger von Lechsgemünd-Graisbach transferred goods to the Benedictine convent of St. Walburg in Eichstätt in Dietfurt . In 1044 King Heinrich III. his wife Agnes Güter to "Dietwrtdi" in the Suala field. In 1167 the abbess Bertheradis of the St. Walburg Monastery acquired a fiefdom from Rudolf von Mammingen and the use of it on an estate. Whether a church was actually consecrated in 1070 must remain open; In any case, there is evidence that Bishop Otto von Eichstätt consecrated a church in "Dietuurt" between 1183 and 1195. From the choir tower remnants are stuck in today's tower of this church. The right of patronage over the parish was owned by the monastery of Sankt Walburg, like Pope Clement III. 1190 confirmed. In 1261, the bishop of Eichstätt Engelhard von Dolling incorporated the parish into the monastery. St. Walburg was entitled to the grain tenth ; the toe barn from 1766 is still standing. In 1295 the Wülzburg monastery donated its property to "Dietfurtte" to the St. Walburg monastery. Although the monastery increased its property in Dietfurt in the 14th century, taxes from several other farms in the village flowed to Pappenheim for the rule of the marshals there. In 1504 an Altmühl "pruck" and "-furt" were mentioned in Dietfurt.

Before 1555 the village became Protestant as a result of the Reformation by its bailiffs, the Marshals von Pappenheim . In the 17th century the marshals von Pappenheim combined Dietfurt and Schambach into a double parish; There was an influx of Austrian exiles from the Enns area, who revitalized the place economically after the damage of the Thirty Years' War , in the course of which the St. Walburg monastery lost goods in Dietfurt. The nave of the church was rebuilt in the 18th century and expanded in 1903. Until the end of the Old Kingdom , of the approximately 50 families living in the town, one subject family and two farms were still owned by the St. Walburg Monastery, including the Meierhof. The monastery owned three fishing waters in Dietfurt.

In 1806 the Prussian rule and monastic property ended. Dietfurt came to Bavaria and together with the Bergnershof formed a tax district in the Pappenheim lower court of the Weißenburg rent office . In 1808, a new Dietfurt tax district was formed from several villages. In 1818 the rural community of Dietfurt was created.

Until 1853 there was an important post office in Dietfurt on the Augsburg – Nuremberg road. In 1875 the official spelling was “Dietfurt” instead of “Dietfurth”, and in 1927 the addition “i.Mfr.” Was added. On the occasion of the regional reform in Bavaria , Dietfurt in Middle Franconia was incorporated into Treuchtlingen on May 1, 1978.
