In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

In Estenfeld there is a Catholic and a Protestant parish. The local patron is Saint Mauritius , after whom the two Catholic churches in the town are named, which shape the townscape. The church of St. Markus was built for the Protestant community from 1964. Until the time of National Socialism, there was also Jewish life in Estenfeld, a memorial stele on the square of the former synagogue commemorates the Jewish citizens. As part of the Stolpersteine project , memorial stones were set on the sidewalk in front of former homes of deported Jews.
