history

A Roman tombstone is set into the wall of the Eichhof's residential building.

The farm was handed over to the St. Ulrich and Afra monastery in Augsburg by Adalbert von Dambach around 1065 together with Gundelsheim as the "Gut zu Großaich" (= estate on the large oak) . Around 1150 the wasteland appears as "Grozzenhaicha". In 1175, the monastery received "ad quercum magnam" (= for the large oak) dues from eight hubs . In 1390 a document from the monastery referred to the court as "ze der grozzen Aych"; at that time the monastery sold the fief there to Rudolf the Witstat zu Pappenheim . In 1508 Jörg von Pappenheim awarded a third of the large and small tithe from "Großenaich" to Leonhard von Schaffhausen. In 1716 the tenth share went to Franz Fortunat Freiherr von Ißelbach . From 1800 the current place name form "Eichhof" occurs. In 1836 "Eichhof or Großeneich (Parish Gundelsheim)" is used.

At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the Eichhof was Palatinate-Neo-Burgic and was under the Graisbach caste office ; the manorial power (and local jurisdiction even in Bavarian times) was held by the Fugger counts of Nordendorf as the lords of Möhren-Gundelsheim. The 2nd class patrimonial jurisdiction established in 1815 by Carl Anton Graf von Fugger -Nordendorf on the Rittermannlehen zu Möhren was repealed by Bavaria in 1848.

Since 1806 in the Kingdom of Bavaria , the Eichhof was assigned to the tax district "Moehrn" (= Möhren) in the district court / rent office Graisbach- Monheim ; this went on in 1862 in the district office (from 1939 district) Donauwörth. As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Möhren and thus also the Eichhof was incorporated into the city of Treuchtlingen in the district of Weißenburg (from 1973 district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen) with effect from July 1, 1972. The Eichhof then moved from the Swabian administrative region to the Middle Franconian administrative region. Since then, Eichhof has been one of 54 officially named districts of Treuchtlingen.

In 1984 it is said that Eichhof is a “modern full-time business with mixed agriculture”.
