history

In pre-Roman times there was a Celtic settlement in the Möckenloher Flur. During the Roman occupation, the road from Steppberg via Nassenfels and Möckenlohe to Pfünz was expanded.

Möckenlohe was probably part of the basic equipment of the Eichstätt diocese in the 8th century . The first documentary mention comes from 908 ("Mechinloh", probably denoting possession of a Mahin or Mehin). 1078 there is talk of a local nobleman Dietmar von Mechenloch . 1179 confirmed Pope Alexander III. Possession and rights of the Eichstätter cathedral chapter in Möckenlohe ; In 1283 this exchanged the right of patronage of the parish church to the Eichstätter Bishop Reinboto for that of Unterstall . In 1305 the bishop received the Hirschberg inheritance - the last guardian of the bishopric, Gebhard VII von Hirschberg , had died childless - the village and the village court.

In the Thirty Years' War Möckenlohe was devastated 1,642th Rebuilt, the place came temporarily to Bavaria after secularization , then to the Duke of Leuchtenberg and in 1833 finally to the Kingdom of Bavaria . By the 18th century at the latest, the village had its own schoolhouse (renovated in 1731); a first school teacher is proven as early as 1612. Before secularization, Möckenlohe had 40 properties, including 7 whole and 2 half farms, 1 Köblergut, 21 Seldengüter and 7 empty houses . Assigned to the Eichstätt district in the Franconian Rezatkreis, the place joined Adelschlag on the occasion of the regional reform on April 1, 1971.

The place is predominantly agriculturally oriented and carried out a land consolidation in 1948 . In 1983 there were 17 full-time and 15 part-time farms here.

  • The Catholic parish church of the Assumption is a former pilgrimage church ( fortified church Möckenlohe ). A church consecration has been handed down for 1308. The castle researcher Helmut Rischert suspects a former fortified church here . From 1480 to 1615 Möckenlohe was a branch of Nassenfels , but then became an independent parish again. Today's church, which is still partially fortified by a cemetery, was rebuilt and consecrated in 1624, redesigned by Jakob Engel in 1691/92, redesigned in Baroque style around 1735 and restored in 1895. The four-meter-high cemetery wall with shooting openings was largely removed in 1968 when the cemetery was expanded. The lower floors of the tower belong to the late 13th century, the two half- timbered, plastered upper floors from the late 17th century. The tower is crowned by a truncated brick helmet with a dome-roofed lantern. The stucco inside, "a pleasant early Rococo work " (Mader, p. 210) comes from Franz Xaver Horneis , the ceiling paintings and the pictures on the stucco parapet of the gallery by the Ingolstadt painter Joseph Dietrich . The high altar with a wooden group of the Coronation of Mary and the pulpit are Baroque creations from 1700; the side altars are 50 years older. The pilgrimage picture in an attached chapel, a wooden Madonna from the early 14th century with a later baby Jesus, has been repositioned. A rosary Madonna dates from the middle of the 17th century. In 1833 a monstrance came to Möckenlohe from the profaned Marienstein monastery church near Eichstätt.
  • The coat of arms of the Eichstätter prince-bishop Johann Christoph von Westerstetten , marked 1615, can be found on the newly built parsonage , which was also attached to the previous building, a two-storey building in the Jura house style.
  • On the northern outskirts, a Roman Villa Rustica was archaeologically excavated, rebuilt as part of a Roman program of the district and opened to the public in 1993 as a privately run museum.
  • Remains of a Celtic Viereckschanze are in the forest area near the natural monument Hoher Stein west of Möckenlohe.
