Nordstetten is a district of Gunzenhausen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen .

geography

The village of Nordstetten is located between Altmühlsee and Hahnenkamm in the West Central Franconia region in the Wurmbach valley. The striking point of the village is the bell tower built in 1899 .

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1272. On June 9, 1272, Bishop Hildebrand von Eichstätt united the two parish churches St. Peter and St. Walburg in the neighboring parish of Stetten. For his renunciation of St. Peter the scholar Ludwig von Craigenheim ( Cronheim ) received, among other things, two goods in Norsteten .

The next documentary mention was in 1360. The foundation of an early mass in Gnotzheim by two counts from Öttingen was financed with an estate, two farmsteads and some fields in Norsteten . Thereafter, Norrsteten and Nördstetten were used as place names in various property transactions. In 1525 today's spelling prevailed. In 1616 25 properties were mentioned. Almost half of them belonged to the Principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach .

Nordstetten was in the Fraisch district of the Ansbach Oberamt Wassertrüdingen . At the end of the 18th century there were 29 subject families , of which 19 had Ansbach offices as landlords . From 1797 to 1808 the place was subordinate to the Justice and Chamber Office Wassertrüdingen .

In 1806 Nordstetten came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . With the community edict (early 19th century) the place was assigned to the tax district of Obermögersheim . A little later, the rural community of Nordstetten was formed. Its administration and jurisdiction were subordinate to the Wassertrüdingen Regional Court .

In Freidorf - the community was owned by the village authorities - there were 32 houses in 1846, in which 44 families lived. In that time there were two brewers and farmers , butchers , blacksmiths , shoemakers , three Weber and Büttner .

The newly built tower was consecrated on October 22nd, 1899 by the pastor of Pfifferling von Stetten. One of the two bells was donated by the local brewmaster. The second, as well as the tower itself, was jointly financed by Catholics and Protestants.

In 1961 there were 146 residents in the 32 residential buildings in Nordstetten.

On April 1, 1971, Nordstetten lost its political independence and was incorporated into the city of Gunzenhausen as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .

Naming

Until the beginning of the 17th century the spelling was Norsteten . This designation does not belong to the orientating place names. Rather, it is based on the word Nuor or Nor , which means something like stone or rock . Nordstetten is therefore likely to have been described as a stone site .

school

Until the beginning of the 19th century, Nordstetten had a so-called winter school as a secondary school in the neighboring municipality of Stetten . It was built in 1731. Lessons were held in a farmhouse that also served as a home for the winter school keeper . Usually around ten children were taught. The secondary school holders were employees of the Protestant part of the community and confirmed by the dean's office Wassertrüdingen and the parish office of Stetten.
