history

South of Pflaumfeld there was probably a villa rustica from Roman times.

The place was first mentioned around 1154/55 when Bishop Konrad von Eichstätt had to make peace between the canons and monks of the Heidenheim monastery and in this context the tithe to the "Pflaunfelt" from monastery property was passed on to a certain Eberhard. The place was mentioned in a legal dispute in 1222, which resulted in the chapel at "Phlunvelt" being awarded to the church in Aha "for eternity" as a branch. In 1267 Heinrich von "Phalumenuelt" was named a local nobleman.

In the further course of the Middle Ages several landlords appeared in the village. In 1273 Friedrich von Geilsheim sold his goods to "Phlunuelt" of the German Order Coming Eschenbach . In 1282 Friedrich von Lentersheim owned “Pflovmelt” in the village; He bequeathed a certain amount of the income from his court to the Eichstätt Bishop Reinboto , who gave it as a fief to the Lords of Hürnheim ; they passed on to Rudolf von Gundelsheim as an after-fief . Around 1300/1364 the Truhendinger follower Sigbert Truchseß von Spielberg held the tithe in “Phlunuelt”, which he had received as a fief from the Bishop of Eichstätt. In 1352 Konrad, Siegfried and Ulrich the Winberger sold an estate in the village to Heinrich and Fritz Aychhorn. In 1387 Konrad von Lentersheim the Elder gave his property and rights to “Pflavnfelt” to the Seitz von Pfahlheim . In a document from 1458 it is mentioned that the right of presentation of the pastor of the parish church St. Laurentius lay with the prior of the Rebdorf monastery . In 1480, “St. Laurentius and Dorothea “called a double patronage of the parish church. In 1491 the Auhausen monastery also had a farm in the village, and in 1502 a Zinser at "Pflawnfelt" had to give the interest to the Reichalmosen Weißenburg . In 1510, the Carmelite monastery maintenance in Weißenburg received "riches" from several fields. In 1532, taxes from a house in the village went to the Ansbach margravial caste office in Gunzenhausen ; the high level of jurisdiction lay with the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen. In 1535, a Seldengut had to pay taxes to the margravial office of Hohentrüdingen . For 1549 it can be proven that the lords of Lentersheim zu Neuenmuhr had the right of patronage and the rulership of the village.

In 1608 the following possessions were listed: Eight subjects were margraves, one of whom each had to pay interest to the caste office Gunzenhausen, the caste office Hohentrüdingen, the cloister office Auhausen , the Gunzenhauser Spital, the upper chaplaincy Gunzenhausen and three to the cloister office Heidenheim; 12 subjects belonged to the lordship of Lentersheim, one subject paid for the Oettingschen Spielberg and two were absberg subjects. Three subjects from Lentersheim were sold to Wilhelm von Goldstein in 1625; the following year he acquired three Absberg subjects in the village. Soon afterwards, Konrad Wilhelm von Goldstein sold his twelve subjects to the Austrian religious refugee Baron Johann Matthias Handel von Gobelsburg zu Steinhart ; In 1679, the Handel heiresses sold, among other things, the "Ritterguth Pflaumfelden consisting of Eylff Unterthanen" to Anna Justina Rauber from Carniola .

In 1716 the castle of the Barons von Rauber was demolished.

For 1732 there is again an overview of the landowners of Pflaumfeld: One subject each belonged to the caste office Gunzenhausen, the Vogtamt Gunzenhausen, the caste office Hohentrüdingen, the monastery office Auhausen, the dominion Oettingen-Spielberg and the dominion Lentersheim; The manor Steinhart was the largest landowner with twelve subjects, followed by the Heidenheim monastery with three and Gunzenhausen Hospital with two subjects. At that time, Baron von Rauber from the Steinhart manor was also responsible for the church, the pastor and the schoolmaster. In other rights, he held the authority of the municipality and the protection of the church consecration, while the Vogt and the high Fraisch lay with the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen. Half of the big tithe went to the monastery office in Heidenheim and half to the parish of Pflaumfeld, while one third of the small tenth went to the monastery office and two thirds to the pastor. In 1741 the entire Steinhart property passed to the Margrave of Ansbach, was initially subordinated to the Ostheim administration and in 1768 sold to the Freiherrlich von Crailsheimische Family Foundation. Towards the end of the Holy Roman Empire , 1801, the village consisted of 22 Ansbach (since 1792 Prussian) and 3 “foreigner” subjects.

In 1806 Pflaumfeld came to the Kingdom of Bavaria and in 1808 was assigned to the tax district Aha in the district court / rent office Gunzenhausen; one family was subject to the Neuenmuhr patrimonial court until 1822 . In 1811 it was briefly merged with Sausenhofen to form a rural community (rural community). With the parish edict of 1818, Pflaumfeld became an independent parish. The independence remained until the incorporation in Gunzenhausen, which came into force in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on April 1, 1971.

Worth seeing

  • The local parish church was built in the early 15th century and was consecrated in the name of St. Laurentius and St. Dorothea. The late medieval nave of the choir tower church was renewed in 1853/1854 and 1936. The choir tower is closed with a pointed helmet. In the choir there has been a baroque altar from Wald from 1725 since the 1980s , but with a newer altarpiece, a crucifixion group. The decorated gallery balustrades, the pulpit with its distinctive sound cover and the organ on the western gallery "create a harmonious atmosphere." The Reformation was introduced in 1525.
