history
Mockersdorf is very old. There was already a settlement in the Carolingian era , as demonstrated by a row of burial grounds discovered at the beginning of the 20th century. The place was first mentioned in writing in 1244. From 1385 to 1436 Mockersdorf was owned by the Nuremberg burgraves, then it became part of the Upper Palatinate .
On the occasion of the regional reform , the previously independent municipality of Mockersdorf was dissolved on July 1, 1972. Their area was divided into the communities Neustadt am Kulm (with the place Mockersdorf ) and Speichersdorf.
Mockersdorf is still its own parish today. It is one of the original parishes of the Upper Palatinate.
