history

Until the church is planted

The history of the community is closely linked to that of the Guttenberg family . Guttenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1148. Heinrich von Plassenberg built the local Guttenberg castle in 1315 , after which his descendants were named. The Alt- and Neuguttenberg castles were destroyed by the Swabian Federation in 1523 , but were rebuilt (see also Wandereisen woodcuts from 1523 ). The rule of von Guttenberg, who also belonged to the Franconian Knight Circle, was occupied by Bavaria in 1802 , handed over to Prussia in 1804, taken over by France after the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and finally fell to Bavaria in 1810. In 1818 the Bavarian municipal edict created today's municipality.
