Rulership history

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Haunsheim was under the rule of the Swabian Imperial Knighthood . The Reichspfennigmeister Zacharias Geizkofler bought Haunsheim in 1600 and from then on called himself Geizkofler on Haunsheim and Reiffenegg. As the owner of the rulership, he introduced the Evangelical Lutheran denomination in Haunsheim in 1603, which has remained unchanged to this day.

In 1666, through the marriage of the granddaughter Zacharias Geizkofler, the rule of Haunsheim came to the barons of Racknitz . With the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806, the place came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

In 1823 Johann Gottlieb Baron von Süsskind from Augsburg , who had previously bought the neighboring, also evangelical rule of Bächingen , acquired Haunsheim Castle and the property belonging to it and had it redesigned in a neo-Gothic style to suit his taste . In 1849 his daughter Amalie Freifrau vom Holtz inherited it. Today the castle is owned by the Barons von Hauch .
