history

The bow brooch from Nordendorf I

The name Nordendorf is of Franconian origin; The uncovering of a row grave field with 433 graves on the occasion of the construction of the Augsburg-Donauwörth railway line in 1844 gave evidence of an Alemannic forerunner settlement from around the middle of the 6th century. This made the site one of the most important discovery sites of the early Middle Ages in the Swabian-Bavarian region . The most important archaeological finds are the bow brooches from Nordendorf , two garment clips with runic inscriptions engraved on the back .

The current name is mentioned for the first time in 1213. The landlords were initially the lords of Donnsberg, truchess of the Augsburg bishops, who had their castle west of Nordendorf on the Donnsberg. Around 1268 the Wittelsbachers destroyed Donnsberg Castle and Nordendorf came into their possession. In 1560 a new castle was built in the middle of the village , which burned down in 1862. In 1580 a branch of the Fugger family had acquired the Nordendorf property. This line lived here until 1878.

After the Second World War, Nordendorf developed from an agricultural village into an attractive residential community with an interesting surrounding area between Schmutter and Lech and the local recreation area “Augsburg western forests”.

The continuous increase in the number of inhabitants is ensured by the designation of building areas at affordable prices. Agriculture today is concentrated in the district of Blankenburg .

As a small center, Nordendorf offers an excellent infrastructure. The needs of daily life such as shopping opportunities, provision of (dental) medical services, partial secondary school and kindergarten, with banks and craft businesses are optimally met. The train connections to Augsburg, Meitingen or Donauwörth every 30 minutes make it easy to visit secondary schools and to get to work. The four-lane expansion of the B 2 between Augsburg and Donauwörth and the local bypass road created excellent opportunities for companies to settle.

The local clubs offer a wide range of sporting and cultural activities.
