During the Roman Empire, three streets ran across the area of ​​today's Gansheim. A street (monument number D-7-7231-0169) ran from the north of today's Blossenau and then to the east in the direction of today's Trugenhof .

The Franks began to colonize the region in the early Middle Ages . The foundation of the town probably falls during this time. Gansheim is mentioned for the first time in 1179 as "Regilo de Gantesheim" in a document from Bishop Heinrich von Brixen .

The noble family of the Knollen , which held the inheritance of treasurer at the court of the Counts of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach , was the owner of the former parish village of Gansheim for a long time in the Middle Ages until Jörg from the family of the Knollen sold the place to Wilhelm Marschall zu Donnersberg in 1400.

In the following period the rule of the Hofmark Gansheim changed several times; u. a. It was acquired by Duke Ludwig VIII of Bavaria-Ingolstadt in 1444 . The dukes Ottheinrich and Philipp von Pfalz-Neuburg joined the long list of owners of the village from 1529 to 1539; they sold the place to the Bergen monastery .

When the Americans occupied the village without a fight on the morning of April 25, 1945 - the last soldiers of the Wehrmacht had already withdrawn the day before - foreign troops entered this area for the first time since the early 19th century. A few hours earlier around 8:30 a.m., German pioneers blew up the Ussel Bridge , which, however, was not a particular obstacle for the Allies, as the Ussel is not very deep.

"A red goose standing in silver on a mountain of three divided by blue and gold."

Coat of arms history

The coat of arms was adopted in 1961 and lost its official character after the incorporation in 1972.

The goose in the Gansheim coat of arms was chosen because of historical references to the Schmied von Wellenstein men and the reference to the place name ( talking coat of arms ). The Schmied von Wellenstein gentlemen owned Gansheim in the 17th and 18th centuries and had a goose in their coat of arms. The Dreiberg depicted in the coat of arms was taken from the coat of arms of Count Lenck on Burgheim and Gansheim, the owners of the place in the 16th century. The colors blue and gold are reminiscent of the coat of arms colors of the Counts of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach, to whose domain the municipality mark belonged until the family died out in 1342, which is why they were used in the Gansheim coat of arms.
