history

In exchange for the Duchy of Berg , Bavaria received the Principality of Ansbach on May 24, 1806 . With the aim of standardizing the administrative structures, among other things, the formation of the Pleinfeld Regional Court was ordered on August 7, 1808. Shortly before, the former Prussian justice offices "Roth" and "Spalt, Pleinfeld, Abenberg" were mentioned in the description of the components of the Altmühlkreis in the course of the administrative reorganization of Bavaria . The entire reorganization took effect on October 1, 1808.

In 1840 the Pleinfeld district court was four square miles . There were 13,586 inhabitants (6,797 Protestants, 6,514 Catholics and 275 Jews), 92 localities (3 cities , 1 market , 8 parish villages , 6 parish villages , 24 villages , 15 hamlets and 35 deserted areas ) and 23 parishes (2 magistrates 3rd class, 1st Urban, 1 market and 19 rural communities).

In 1858 the seat of the Pleinfeld Regional Court was relocated to Roth and renamed accordingly.
