In Berg's Reichslehenbuch from 1396 it says: "Ulrich Stromayer with the roses received a fischwazzer zu Leuchendorff". In 1413, "Lewchendorff" was considered a Nuremberg town belonging to the castle counts' office of Roßtal. Ecclesiastically, Leichendorf belonged to the parish of Zirndorf in 1430. In 1499, “Leuchendorf” signed a contract for sheep farming. The place was described in 1504 as "Leuchendorff, a hamlet, is Nurmbergisch, Fraisch Zenn".

Most of the villages in the immediate vicinity of the Alte Veste were destroyed in the Thirty Years' War by the troops of Wallenstein when they withdrew.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were ten properties in Leichendorf. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach judge's office in Roßtal .

In 1792 the Principality of Ansbach - and thus also Leichendorf - became part of the Kingdom of Prussia . In 1801 there were eight properties in the village, one of which was Ansbach and seven Nuremberg. In 1806 the principality was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria .

The tax district Leichendorf was formed in 1808 as part of the municipal edict. The first section included the places Anwanden , Lind , Leichendorfermühle , Rehdorf and Wintersdorf , the second section included the places Banderbach , Bronnamberg and Weiherhof . In the same year the rural community Leichendorf was founded, which was congruent with the I. Section of the tax district. The community was under administration and jurisdiction of the district court Cadolzburg and in the financial administration of the bursary Cadolzburg (in 1920 the tax office Cadolzburg renamed). In voluntary jurisdiction, 2 properties were under the Steinach Patrimonial Court from 1821 to 1835 . From 1862 Leichendorf was administered by the Fürth district office (renamed the Fürth district in 1938 ).
