history

Oberleinleiter was first mentioned in a document in 1343, when Dieterich Ohs (Ochs) at Obernlainlauter was selling goods in Dürrbrunn to canon Gunther von Aufseß in Bamberg.

Oberleinleiter himself was originally partially owned by the Streitbergers . About half went as a knightly fief from the Bamberg monastery to nobles and citizens. There was probably also a medieval hilltop castle in the village , on May 17, 1422, the Bishop of Bamberg awarded "1 Selde on the wall on the ditch, since the wild fire is sitting at this time" to Hiltpolt von Streitberg. The castle was already destroyed by this time, its place in the village is unknown. In addition, the early medieval ring wall Schwedenschanze is located north-north-west directly above the town . At the end of the German monarchy, the Lords of Stauffenberg were the local rulers .

On January 1, 1971, Oberleinleiter was incorporated into the Heiligenstadt market in Upper Franconia.
