history

The oldest mentions bring the place names "Nenzenhoue" (1294) and "Netzenhoff" (1452). It is based on the personal name Nanzo. The medieval spelling “Metzenhof” will have originated from “vom (or to) Netznhof”.

The place was first mentioned in 1294 as "Nenzenhoue", when Friedrich Graf von Truhendingen sold the bailiwick of the Heidenheim monastery courtyard , which he had as a fief . In 1516 the Marshal von Pappenheim sold the "meznhoff" to Philipp von Seckendorff . In 1602 the city of Weißenburg had a subject here. For 1612 one learns that the court belongs to the Ansbachisch-Brandenburg Oberamt Gunzenhausen . In 1667, the tithe went to the Treuchtlingen administration office in Ansbach-Brandenburg. At the end of the Old Empire , Metzenhof consisted of two half-courtyards that paid interest to the former Ansbach and now Prussian administration office in Heidenheim. Ecclesiastically, the farms belonged to the evangelical community of Bubenheim.

From 1806 in the new Kingdom of Bavaria , Metzenhof and Schertnershof were Katte Hochstatt in 1808 the tax district slammed Trommetsheim. In 1811 it became the municipality of Trommetsheim, and in 1818 it became a rural municipality in the Weißenburg district court . The former district of Kattenhochstatt was incorporated into Treuchtlingen in the course of the municipal reform in 1972 , the main town of Kattenhochstatt became part of the city of Weißenburg .

The population of Metzenhof was ten to 15 in the 19th century; in 1950 and 1961, 13 people each lived in the two properties. In 1984 the district consisted of two full-time farms.
