history
Kalbensteinberg was first mentioned in a document in 1247; a mention from 1194 is to be assigned to the neighboring village of Gräfensteinberg. The source of the early history is mostly in the dark. As a dowry from the Abenberger Diemutha, part of the village came into the possession of the Roggenburg Monastery near Neu-Ulm. In 1412 the monastery sold its property to the Counts of Oettingen . In the same year, the former Roggenburg properties came from the Stromer and Wernitzer families to the Rieter von Kornburg family in 1437 , who held all the properties as landlords from around 1600 until they died out in 1753. Through the Rieterstiftung, Kalbensteinberg fell to the Heilig-Geist-Spital and thus to the imperial city of Nuremberg . After the transition to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1791, Kalbensteinberg was integrated into the newly founded Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 with the areas of the Principality of Ansbach .
In the course of the municipal reform , the formerly independent Kalbensteinberg with its district Igelsbach was incorporated into the Absberg market on May 1, 1978.
