history

Until the regional reform in Bavaria in 1972, Leonhardsruh was a separate district of Gunzenhausen. The “house in front of the town of Gunzenhausen” was built in 1798 by Gunzenhausen master baker Leonhard Mayer as a retirement home, which he moved into in the same year after he handed over his bakery to his son. All rights to the free property lay with the Prussian Ober- and Kastenamt Gunzenhausen. In 1806 the property with Gunzenhausen fell to Bavaria . In 1829 the Leonhardsruh is named as a wasteland with a mill , which is a quarter of an hour away from Gunzenhausen and is part of the 1 family with 5 residents. However, there was never a mill here, but there was a farm and a sand pit behind the property . In 1837 it is reported that the property belongs to the Catholic parish of Cronheim ; also in 1867 the 11 inhabitants, who now live in 2 buildings, are catholic. In 1950 the Leonhardsruh was inhabited by four people, in 1961 by two people. The property, which was rebuilt several times, is still on the outskirts of Gunzenhausen.
