history
Through Georg the Pious , who saw himself as a secular summus episcopus , and the pastors Johannes Rurer and Andreas Althammer, the Reformation in the spirit of the Evangelical Lutheran Confession was introduced in the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1525 and a state consistory for the administration of the individual parishes of the residential city Ansbach used.
In 1556, by resolution of the Ansbach Synod, the Margraviate was divided into ten higher-level spiritual supervisory districts, also known as the deanery or chapter, with Ansbach remaining exempt. These individual supervisory districts each had a superintendent and a chapter at their head and were subordinate to the general superintendent von Ansbach.
With the end of the margrave period and the transition of Ansbach, first to Prussia (1791/92) and finally to Bavaria (1806), there were also changes in the ecclesiastical order that had existed up to that point. The Ansbach deanery has existed in its current form since December 7, 1810, and the Saxony parish was added on April 7, 1883, which until then belonged to the Windsbach deanery. In the 1980s at the earliest, the parish of Dietenhofen was added, which until then belonged to the Neustadt deanery. In 2011 the parish of Vestenberg was assigned to the Windsbach deanery .
