Place name interpretation

The place name is said to be based on the Old High German personal name Kado, whereby the current form Kerkhofen is said to have originated from Kadinchova. In the Pontifical Gundekarianum (and again in 1485), "Berchouen" (Berghofen) appears instead of Kerkhofen.

history

Between 1057 and 1075, the Eichstatt Bishop Gundekar II consecrated a church in “Berchouen” (= Kerkhofen?). When Gotfrid von Sulzbürg and his wife Adelheid von Hohenfels from the royal servants family of Wolfstein-Sulzbürg founded the women's and later Cistercian convent Seligenporten and designated it as their family burial place, the foundations also included an estate in "Kethechoven" (= Kerkhofen?). In 1285/90 Kerkhofen is named in the selected form "Herzenhouen" in an Eichstätter fief book. In 1326, in a dispute among the Wolfsteiners, it was determined that Konrad von Sulzbürg, canon in the Augustinian Canons' Monastery of Rebdorf , was allowed to keep a farm in Kerkhofen, which he had owned as a personal condition , if a compensation payment was made to Leopold and Albrecht von Wolfstein. In 1349 in Eichstätt a dispute ("war and uproar, that is to say we het each other") between Poppe von Dietenhoven and Ulrich von Merstorf (Mörsdorf) over goods to "Kaerkoven" was amicably settled. In 1372 the two Hilpolt von Stein donated the early mass in Freystadt and endowed it with goods from Kerkhofen, among other things. In 1393 the bishop of Eichstätt enfeoffed the Absbergers with the church law of Kerkhofen; previously the Wolfsteiners owned this fief.

Cast iron signpost (around 1900)

Goods in Kerkhofen belonged to the castle of Niedersulzbürg belonging to the Lords von Stein , after their extinction the Gundelfinger and Hohenfelser, until 1403 Schweiker von Gundelfingen sold the fortress of Niedersulzbürg with all its belonging to the Wolfsteiner brothers Hans, Albrecht, Wilhelm and Wigalus. The Wolfsteiner accepted the Lutheran faith around 1550; In 1555 the pastor of Kerkhofen was still Catholic.

Around 1732, 16 “teams” (= yards) belonged to the Wolfstein office of Sulzbürg “Kerckhoffen”. 1740 died out with the last Count of Wolfstein, Christian Albrecht, the family; the property came as a settled imperial fief (1769 also the allodial property ) to the ducal Bavaria, which set up the Sulzbürg-Pyrbaum cabinet lords to manage these goods, including those of the village of Kerkhofen .

At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Kerkhofen consisted of 15 courtyards of different sizes (including two whole courtyards and two half-courtyards) and the shepherd's house and was subject to the high court of the ducal-Bavarian, lastly Electoral-Palatinate-Bavarian cabinet rule Sulzbürg. The lower court exercised cabinet rule over its 14 subjects, the monastery judge office Seligenporten and the caste office Neumarkt over one subject each.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Kerkhofen was assigned to the Sulzbürg tax district formed between 1810 and 1820 . The parish was also dissolved in 1806 and the place was parish off to Oberndorf . With the community edict of 1818, Oberndorf, previously part of the tax district Thannhausen , and Kerkhofen became the community of Oberndorf. This remained until the regional reform in Bavaria , when the municipality of Oberndorf was dissolved on January 1, 1972 and Kerkhofen was reclassified into the municipality of Mühlhausen, while Oberndorf became part of the city of Freystadt . Since then, the church village has been one of 24 officially named parts of the municipality in Mühlhausen.
