history

From 1206 to 1441 Mörsdorfer local nobility are named (1236 Wichmannus de Mersdorf, 1349 Ulrich von Merstorf, dean at the new monastery in Spalt, 1352 Heinrich Stezman von Mersdorf and Chunrad the Schelle von Mersdorf, 1369 Heinrich der Merstorfer, 1403 Reichart der Merstorfer). In 1322 Konrad von Jahrsdorf, presumably a ministerial of the Lords of Stein , sold the Seligenporten monastery , founded in 1249 by the Wolfsteiners , a clearing property between “Merstorf” and Meckenhausen; the monastery had already been given property in Mörsdorf by the donors. In a message from 1378 one learns that Mörsdorf is a branch of the original parish St. Marien in Ebenried . When Margrave Friedrich von Brandenburg and Johann Pfalzgraf bei Rhein shared the rule of Hilpoltstein among themselves in 1427 , the Margrave received Veste and the town of Hilpoltstein with the affiliations Meckenhausen and "Mersdorff". In 1438 the Margrave gave Mörsdorf back. As a result of the pledge of the Hilpoltstein office by the indebted Count Palatine Ottheinrich to the city of Nuremberg in 1542 , the parish of Ebenried and thus also Mörsdorf was subjected to the Reformation . When the pledge was redeemed in 1578, the Protestant New Burg church order came into effect. The Counter-Reformation of 1627 led to entanglements and controversy among denominations, which continued into the 20th century. Today Ebenried is divided, there is a church of the Protestant and one of the Catholic denominations, the church in Mörsdorf corresponds to the Catholic denomination.

House with half-timbered gable from the 17th century

In the 16th century Mörsdorf comprised 54 “teams” (= farms), twelve of which belonged to the Stein rule. Eight courtyards were "empty", these properties were probably desolate as a result of the Thirty Years' War . The school and sacristan's house was rebuilt in 1662 after the church, which burned down in 1643, was rebuilt in 1656. In 1682 the double wall around the church was still in place. In 1759 a new school house was built. Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Mörsdorf consisted of 64 subjects. They were subject to the high court to the electoral Baier care office Hilpoltstein, lower court to the district judge Allersberg. The district authority exercised the Hilpoltstein district judge. The 63 properties belonged to 15 different landlords, most (17) to the Hilpoltstein Rent Office and (10) to the Seligenporten monastery judge. Seven Nuremberg manors owned a total of 13 properties. Three courtyards were freely owned .

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) the tax district Mörsdorf was formed in the district court and rent office Hilpoltstein in what was later to be Middle Franconia , to which several surrounding places and desert areas belonged. With the community edict of 1818, the community Mörsdorf was formed, which only consisted of the place Mörsdorf and the Braunshof .

In 1873 the farmers of Mörsdorf had 20 horses and 371 cattle; According to official census, there were 26 horses, 432 cattle, 402 sheep, 121 pigs and four goats in the municipality of Mörsdorf at that time. 25 years later there were 12 horses, 449 head of cattle, 108 sheep, 271 pigs and four goats in the community; The increase in pig farming with a simultaneous decline in sheep farming can be observed in many Bavarian communities during this period.
