history

Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria ( Avarmark ), Dimbach has belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century . The first known documentary mention was made in a document from 1140 found in Waldhausen Abbey. There, the place Dinninpach was named as a richly endowed parish. 1147 Dinninpach was subordinated to the newly founded monastery. Both the Dimbach and the Dimbach settlement derive their name from the family name Dünn, in the 14th century there was talk of the Dumpach and the Dünnpecker parish. In 1420 and 1436 Dimbach was a victim of Hussite attacks .
