history

The place owes its origin to the Franconian settlement of the 9th century when forest stations were set up to clear the forest and is therefore a Carolingian foundation . During the time of the tribal duchies , Gerhardshofen was in the Duchy of Franconia .

In 1235 the place was first mentioned in a document as "Gerharteshouen". The place name contains the personal name Gerhard , who can be seen as the founder of the place. Heinrich Neze von Gerhardshofen of the Nuremberg burgrave was named in two other documents .

The Lords of Seckendorff received half a tithe from the Würzburg bishop Andreas von Gundelfingen . In 1300 Arnold von Seckendorff sold the gradient from the forge in Gerhardshofen to Heilsbronn Monastery . In 1304 he had the blacksmith Conrad Stahel buy himself out. In 1317/22 the Seckendorffers had tithes of three fields and one meadow. In the castle Count Urbar of 1361/64 is recorded that the castle Count's Office Dachsbach the Fraisch had "Gerotshouen". Subsequently, the Dachsbach office belonged to the Margraviate of Bayreuth . In the Salbuch of 1434 it is recorded that half the tithe and the small tithe in Gerhardshofen belonged to the Dachsbach office.

In the First Margrave War (1449–1450), the Nuremberg people robbed 118 cows and 17 field horses from Gerhardshofen and Dachsbach.

In 1458 there was a court seat in “Geraltzhoffen”. Around 1500, in addition to the margraves, the lords of Lüchau von Brunn , the lords of Auracher von Birnbaum, the imperial city of Nuremberg and the Birkenfeld monastery were wealthy. In 1535 the 53 existing estates belonged to the Brunn manor, to the margravial offices of Dachsbach and Neustadt an der Aisch, and to the monastery offices of Birkenfeld and Münchsteinach . In the Thirty Years' War almost all the houses were destroyed, the church burned down. Gerhardshofen was looted in autumn 1631. In 1697 there were already 44 farms again, the number of which rose to 57 by 1792. This was probably not least due to the Protestant religious expellees from Austria, who settled here after 1648 and made a significant contribution to the reconstruction of their new home.

Although the place belonged to the Dachsbach High Court , the Brunn rulers exercised this right on their property themselves.

One church was probably destroyed as early as 1450, the foundation stone for a new building was laid in 1471, and the new building was inaugurated in 1481. In 1632, Gerhardshofen was looted and pillaged in the Thirty Years' War. The major structural damage caused by the Thirty Years' War was not repaired until the end of the 17th century. A renovation in 1795 in the Margravial Baroque style was almost like a new building. Today, after another renovation, the church is a gem in the Aischgrund.

At the end of the 18th century there were 57 properties in Gerhardshofen. The high court exercised partly the Brandenburg-Bayreuth caste and jurisdiction office Dachsbach , partly the rule of Brunn . The rulership of Brunn held the village and community rulership. The landlords were the Principality of Bayreuth (31 properties; Dachsbach caste and jurisdiction office: 1 brewery and tavern, 1 tavern, 5 estates, 1 Sölde , 1 forge, 1 free house ; Birkenfeld monastery : 1 inn, 1 estate, 4 semi-estates, 1 house ; Münchsteinach monastery office : 1 courtyard, 3 goods, 3 Sölden; Neustadt an der Aisch box office : 4 drip farms ; Birnbaum administration : 2 farms), the parish of Gerhardshofen (5 farms) and the lordship of Brunn (18 houses, 3 craft houses).

In 1810 Gerhardshofen came to the new Kingdom of Bavaria . As part of the community edict, Gerhardshofen was assigned to the Dachsbach tax district in 1811 . In 1813 the rural community Gerhardshofen was formed, to which the towns of Forst and Vahlenmühle belonged. With the second community edict (1818), Eckenhof was transferred from the rural community Pahres to Gerhardshofen and Kleehof from the rural community Birnbaum . The rural community Gerhardshofen was subordinate to the regional court Neustadt an der Aisch in administration and jurisdiction and in the financial administration to the Rentamt Neustadt an der Aisch (renamed in 1920 to Finanzamt Neustadt an der Aisch ). In the voluntary jurisdiction, however, 21 properties were subordinate to the Patrimonial Court of Brunn . From 1862 Gerhardshofen was administered by the Neustadt an der Aisch district office ( renamed Neustadt an der Aisch district in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Neustadt an der Aisch until 1879, from 1880 district court Neustadt an der Aisch . The municipality had an area of ​​9.918 km².

The social democratic teacher Oechslein, who had organized a public meeting of the Republican Reich Federation in Dachsbach, was an example of the resistance against the strengthening of the ideology of the NSDAP in the Gerhardshofen / Dachsbach area .

coat of arms

The municipality of Geroldshofen has had a coat of arms since 1976.

Geroldshofen coat of arms
 Blazon : " Divided by red and silver, above a growing silver lion , below a black key and a fallen black sword crossed diagonally."
Justification of the coat of arms: The lion's body comes from the coat of arms of the extinct Bleymann von Laufenberg, who made a name for themselves in the 17th century for the places Birnbaum and Gerhardshofen as well as for the church itself. The red and silver tinging refers to older ownership of the Würzburg bishopric , which owned goods and tithe in the named places in the 14th century. The sword and key as attributes of St. Peter and Paul refer to the Protestant church of the same name in Gerhardshofen, which is to be regarded as a local landmark. The colors silver and black indicate the color of the coat of arms of the Margraves of Zoller Ansbach-Bayreuth, who were sovereigns for what is now the municipality.

The first mayor is Jürgen Mönius.
