history

The village was probably created as an extension of the Greding royal court . "Liutharthoven" (= Liuthart's courtyards) was first mentioned in 1140 on the occasion of a donation from Eichstätter Bishop Gebhard II. To the Benedictine monastery in Plankstetten . Around the middle of the 13th century, Count Bertold von Graisbach had two farms in the village of the Eichstätter bishop as a fief . In 1305 the place appears as "Leuthartshoven"; In the dispute between the Bishop of Eichstätt and Bavaria over the Hirschberg inheritance , the village was awarded to the Eichstätt Monastery in the Gaimersheim arbitration . Around 1438 the village consisted of six farms from different owners. By 1741 four farms came into the direct possession of the bishopric; The largest property was owned by the Plankstetten monastery, to which 16 properties in the village were subject to interest in 1463. The bishop's subjects were part of the marriage prison Hirschberg that Plankstettischen after Plankstetten. It is unclear how the rule Sulzbürg came to the church fair protection or dance plan from sunrise to sunset on the fair day. The place was under the caste office Beilngries under the prince-bishop's upper office Beilngries-Hirschberg of the lower bishopric; some courts were subordinate to the Plankstetten monastery judge. In 1602 the place was one of six branches of the parish of Plankstetten. In 1786 the village chapel, which was built in the 15th century, was struck by lightning, but was soon restored.

In the course of secularization in 1802 the lower monastery and in it Litterzhofen came to the Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III. from Tuscany and 1806 with the Birkhof to the Bavarian district court Beilngries . 1809 formed Litterzhofen with Fribertshofen the control district Fribertshofen (1811 Rural municipality) in the Altmühl District , the 1810 Upper Danube district with the capital Eichstätt and in 1817 the District Court in Beilngries regenkreis belonged with capital Regensburg. In 1818 Litterzhofen became an independent political municipality again. From 1838 the district of Beilngries and with it the municipality of Litterzhofen was part of the district of Middle Franconia with the capital Ansbach .

With the Bavarian territorial reform , the community joined the city of Beilngries on January 1, 1972.

In 1960 land consolidation was completed. In 1983 there were 20 farms in the village with 114 inhabitants.

Catholic branch church St. Wolfgang

St. Wolfgang Church

Litterzhofen has always been a branch of the parish of Plankstetten. A small late Gothic church has stood here since the 15th century , which was radically changed in 1706 and expanded at the same time as the cemetery in 1922. In the east tower (with a pointed helmet) a late Gothic rib vault (around 1450) has been preserved in the choir . The high altar has a classicistic four-column structure with carving (end of the 18th century). On the left, also classicistic, two-columned side altar stands a late Gothic wooden figure of St. Mary with the baby Jesus (around 1500). The bell is three-part.
