Hofstetten is a district of Hilpoltstein in the Middle Franconian district of Roth in Bavaria .

location

The church village is located about two kilometers southwest of the center of Hilpoltstein on the Upper Roth , a tributary of the Rednitz , which flows west of the place.

The village corridor is 694 hectares .

history

Hofstetten is first mentioned in a document in 1142, when the Cistercian monastery Walderbach near Roding was endowed by Otto I, Burgrave of Regensburg, with the entire village of "Hovesteden", namely with 15 courtyards and three mills. While the dues from the courts flowed to the monastery, the von Stein gentlemen only had high jurisdiction , for which Hofstetten had to pay an annual nominal fee. A judge appointed by the monastery, mostly the village miller, was responsible for debt matters. The income from the Hofstetten customs station - the customs board is marked on a map from 1604 - also benefited the monastery. Since the 14th century there have been disputes between Hilpoltstein and the monastery, as the corridor of Hofstetten reached as far as the city wall of Hilpoltstein (when the city was founded, the area was cut out of the district of Hofstetten as Eichstätter fiefs) and Hilpoltstein's wood and grazing rights injured. The monastery therefore had imperial and ducal letters of protection issued for Hofstetten several times in the 14th and 15th centuries. With the pledge of the Palatinate-Neuburg office of Hilpoltstein in 1542 to the imperial city of Nuremberg and the implementation of the Reformation, Hofstetten's ties to the monastery ended.

The manorial rule of the monastery was not synonymous with the rule of the church. Initially a branch of the original parish of Laibstadt, Hofstetten in 1480 became a branch with baptismal and cemetery rights of the parish of Zell, which was established that year. In 1491 an early mass was donated for the branch. Having become Protestant from Nuremberg in 1542, after the deposit of the Hilpoltstein office by Pfalz-Neuburg in 1578, Hofstetten returned to the old faith from 1626 onwards. In 1907 Hofstetten was re-pared from Zell to Hilpoltstein. The parish registers for Hofstetten start in 1596.

In 1720, in a settlement between the Electoral Palatinate government in Mannheim and the abbot of Walderbach Monastery, which was dissolved in 1556 and rebuilt in 1669, it was established that the sovereign rights belong to the elector and the imperial rights to the abbot. The mutual competencies were specified precisely. In 1722 the community of Hofstetten filed a lawsuit with the Reichshofrat against the new taxation system from two sides - the electorate and the monastery. Until the end of the Old Kingdom , the matter for the community of Hofstetten, consisting of 17 farms and the Swiss mill and the Paulus mill, had not been decided. Under the common roof of the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), a solution to the issue was more necessary.

In the Kingdom of Bavaria Hofstetten was subordinated to the Hilpoltstein tax district . When the community of Hofstetten came into being with the community edict of 1818, it included the village of Marquardholz as well as Hofstetten itself, the - later abandoned - Schrötzenhof (1717: Schrotenhof) and the Fuchsmühle and the Schweizermühle; the Paulusmühle, in 1818 in the tax district of Heuberg, came back to the community of Hofstetten before 1867.

In 1860 the community built a new school and sacristan's house in Hofstetten. In 1861 the community with its six districts (Hofstetten, Fuchsmühle, “Marquardstein”, Paulusmühle, Schweizermühle and “Schotermühle” - 1875: “Schobermühle”; 1904 no longer officially named) had 208 inhabitants, in Hofstetten itself 134 inhabitants. In 1875 there were a total of 200 inhabitants, eleven horses, 202 cattle and 35 pigs in the community. In Hofstetten itself lived 125 people with a herd of four horses and 134 head of cattle. In 1900 the community population had dropped to 158; 14 horses, 181 cattle, 109 pigs and three goats were counted as livestock. The village of Hofstetten only had 92 inhabitants. In the course of the 20th century, the population increased again, after the Second World War, especially from the 1960s / 70s onwards.

On January 1, 1972, the municipality of Hofstetten (1961: 276 inhabitants) was dissolved and incorporated into the town of Hilpoltstein together with its districts Fuchsmühle, Marquardsholz, Paulusmühle and Schweizermühle.

In 1979 the renovation of the village and the corridor was completed and a Jura stone with a memorial plaque was erected on this occasion. In 1992 the village, which had had around 20 properties for centuries, had grown to 178 residential buildings.

Catholic branch church "Annunciation"

The choir tower church made of sandstone blocks from the Gothic period (14th century), perhaps built on behalf of the Walderbach monastery, has a tower with a square floor plan and four triangular gables and an eight-sided pointed tower. In 1937 two bells from 1683 from the Schelchshorn company in Neuburg an der Donau hung in the tower. In 1737 the white ceiling was redesigned and provided with bandwork by Hans Georg Eder. The baroque altar (around 1650) with two winding columns shows the figure of Our Lady and reliefs of St. Barbara and St. Katharina, probably from a former winged altar from the 15th century.

Architectural monuments

Along with the church, the 200-year-old renovated “Engerlingsscheune”, a mill from the middle of the 18th century, a stable house from the beginning of the 18th century and the well house on Kränzleinsberg, which has been mapped since 1604 and part of the historic Hilpoltstein water supply system, are considered architectural monuments.
