In 752 the monastery in Heidenheim was founded by the Anglo-Saxon missionary Wunibald . The Benedictine monastery was dissolved in the course of the Reformation in 1537. The parishes in the deanery district of Heidenheim had the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach as their sovereign during the Reformation .
