history

In 1953, near Ezelsdorf, the gold hat from Ezelsdorf-Buch , a 89 cm high sheet gold cone from the Bronze Age, was found. The finder Michael Dörner hacked it up as a "cumbersome sheet" and carelessly throws it aside; Today it can be viewed in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg .

Ezelsdorf / Steinbach is probably a "real" foundation of the Franconian tribe. The place was named after the founder "Ezel". In the 13th century, the Lords of Thann had basic rights here. In 1297 the goods came to the Teutonic Order. In 1300 they passed to the burgrave Friedrich IV of Nuremberg from 1350 to 1806 Ezelsdorf belonged to the Burgthann office and became an independent municipality after its dissolution.
