history

Until the church is planted

Gnotzheim was first mentioned as "Gnozesheim" in a deed of donation from 1053. But the area was already settled in Roman times. "On the Weil" are the remains of the Roman cohort fort Mediana and the associated camp village. The fort was probably built around 90 AD as a wood and earth system. The expansion in stone is documented for the year 144 AD with an inscription stone. The fort was systematically researched by Heinrich Eidam in 1878. After the Romans withdrew, the Franks came , which is evidenced by row graves in the early Middle Ages . These date from the second half of the 5th century to the end of the 7th century.

From the 12th century in a document from 1122 with Pertold von Gnotzheim a noble family is handed down. After the Lords of Truhendingen ruled Gnotzheim and Spielberg in the 13th century, rule came to the Counts of Oettingen through marriage and sale in the 14th century . In 1388 Gnotzheim was granted market rights and jurisdiction. The former office of the Principality of Oettingen-Spielberg fell during border adjustments in 1796 to the Principality of Ansbach , which was taken over by Prussia in 1792 , with which it became the Kingdom of Bavaria in the Treaty of Paris in February 1806, like other parts of Franconia . In 1818 the political municipality was established.

Incorporations

On April 1, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Spielberg was incorporated.
