history

Hofstetten was created between the 10th and 13th centuries in connection with land development and the colonization of marginal land . The name is probably derived from the Middle High German "hovestat" and means a place where a courtyard with the associated buildings could stand. The hamlet in the Bavarian Salbuch is mentioned for the first time in a document from around 1275. There, three hubs ( half yards ) are named in "Hofsteten". Then Hofstetten reappears in Urbar the provost Hersbruck the monastery mountains in Neuburg an der Donau , from about 1300 also in the so-called Salbuechlein Emperor Charles IV. Of 1366 as "Höfsteten". The "Salbuch der Frauen von Berg (en) vber die zinß vnd gilt der Brobstey at Herspruck Ao 1529" reveals more details about the Hofstetten ownership. For example, Hanß fuchs, Hanß weber, Clara müllerin and Niepaur are mentioned with the taxes they have to pay. In 1564 a shepherd's house was built.

A special feature was the political border between the Pflegamt Hersbruck ( Imperial City ) and the state judge Sulzbach, which was drawn through the middle of Hofstetten. This goes back to the Landshut War of Succession of 1504/05, during which Nuremberg gained areas east of the imperial city. Paul Pfinzing recorded the border pretty precisely on his map from the Hersbruck Office in 1596. The separation meant that, for example, in 1730 the children went to school partly in Thalheim and partly in Fürnried . Around 1800 there were three properties and nine residents in Hofstetten. The high level of jurisdiction lay with the Nuremberg Nursing Office Hersbruck, the responsible (Protestant) parish was in Alfeld with a branch church in Fürnried. In 1806 Nuremberg and its territory became Bavarian . During the first Bavarian territorial reform at the beginning of the 19th century, Hofstetten and its local corridors were assigned to Sulzbach; the second in the 1970s saw the municipality of Hartmannshof and then the municipality of Pommelsbrunn. There are currently nine properties in Hofstetten, as well as five weekend houses .
