history
A first mention from the 13th century is uncertain. In 1489 the place is listed in a Eichstätter directory as "Loffenaw".
In 1472 the office of Heideck and with it Laffenau came to Bavaria and after the Landshut War of Succession in 1505 to the newly established Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg . When the Heideck administration office in Palatinate-Neuburg, and thus also Laffenau with its ten subjects' properties, was pledged to the imperial city of Nuremberg for 36 years together with the Allersberg and Hilpoltstein offices in 1542 , Nuremberg introduced the Reformation in the same year . In 1585 the Heideck office and with it the ten subjects in Laffenau were redeemed from Pfalz-Neuburg. The reintroduction of the Catholic religious practice in the Heideck office and thus also in Laffenau did not take place until the re-Catholicization of Neuburg-Palatinate under the Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm , who had returned to the old church, from 1627 through a Jesuit station in Heideck .
At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, there were 14 subject properties of the Heideck district court judge in Laffenau as a manorial estate. The village was subordinate to the Heideck administration office in the Palatinate-Neuburg region. Ecclesiastically, the place belonged to the St. Georg branch church in Selingstadt of the Catholic parish of Heideck.
In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Laffenau came to the Heideck tax district and, with the Fichtenmühle , the hamlet of Höfen , the Seiboldsmühle and the wilderness of Waldhaus, formed a separate municipality in the judicial district and rent office (later district office and district court) Hilpoltstein .
In 1818 and 1829 there were 17, 1903/04 and 1950/52 20 properties in the village. In 1875 there were two horses and 80 head of cattle. In 1937 51 Catholics and 40 Protestants lived in Laffenau; the Catholics were and are in the parish of Heideck, the Protestants in Wallesau . In 1961 the municipality of Laffenau with its five towns had a total of 377 inhabitants and was 414.78 hectares in size.
With the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Laffenau was dissolved and the municipality was incorporated into the town of Heideck in the district of Roth on April 1, 1971; Waldhaus was no longer named as a separate place in the following period. The last first mayor of Laffenau was Hans Bauernfeind.
