history

In the early Middle Ages, Mettendorf (= village of metto, matto or Matelo) seems to be in the 8th / 9th centuries. Founded in the 19th century, to have belonged to the Franconian estate of Greding. 1157 Mettendorf is first mentioned in a document with the local nobleman Herrmann de Mettendorf; In the 12th and 13th centuries (last time in 1238) the Mettendorfer ministerial family was mentioned several times in the service of the Bishop of Eichstätt. At an unknown point in time, the village passed to the Absbergers . In 1418 Beatrix, widow of Heinrich von Absberg, sold the whole village to the Nuremberg citizen Kunz Flurheim. In 1470 the Eichstatt Bishop Wilhelm bought the place from Ulrich Göswein. From then on, Mettendorf remained in the lower Eichstätter Hochstift until secularization . A Salbuch from 1572 shows that the village with the bailiwick , high and low jurisdiction and crowd was under the episcopal nursing office Hirschberg - Beilngries . In 1570, the small Burgstall Liebeneck above the Schwarzach Valley south-east of Mettendorf came to the Hochstift, where an episcopal forester subsequently sat (whether the Liebeneckers were directly related to the Lords of Mettendorf is uncertain, but likely). During the Thirty Years War , the whole village burned down with the exception of the church and the fisherman's house in 1644; At that time, fields and meadows were cultivated by Gredingians. In 1741, 16 households were counted again. At the beginning of the 19th century, 16 properties belonged to the Oberamt and Kastenamt Hirschberg and one to the judges' office in Greding. With regard to marriage detention , the village and six other places belonged to the Hirschberg marriage detention facility, which alternated with Landerzhofen , Haunstetten and Badanhausen .

During the secularization, the lower bishopric, to which the Oberamt Beilngries-Hirschberg and thus also Mettendorf belonged, came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1806 to Bavaria and there to the district court of Beilngries . In 1809, Mettendorf formed the Greding tax district with Hausen and Greding; from this Mettendorf was removed in 1812 and assigned to Haunstetten in the district court of Greding . In 1818 Mettendorf became an independent municipality again. In 1857 this community was incorporated into the Middle Franconian district court of Greding, which from 1879 belonged to the district office and later district of Hilpoltstein. It stayed that way until the Bavarian regional reform , when Mettendorf joined the municipality of Greding on January 1, 1972.

Catholic branch church of St. Johannes Baptista

It is not known when the predecessor church of today's baroque building, mentioned in 1601, was built. In any case, a St. evolved into her from 1727 Anna - pilgrimage , for the medieval religious building quickly became too small. In 1737 the new church was built according to plans by the court builder Gabriel de Gabrieli , who was the prince-bishop of Eichstätt, and was richly stuccoed by Franz Xaver Horneis .

In 1749 the former branch of the parish of Haunstetten (east of the Schwarzach), like the rest of Mettendorf, was assigned to the parish of Greding. The Mettendorfer Catholics are still looked after from there today.
