history

Hunters and gatherers of the older and middle Stone Age and Neolithic hiking farmers left traces in the Pietenfelder Flur and in the town center. Even Celts can be detected here. The Roman road from Nassenfels to Pfünz led past today's outskirts .

The place was probably part of the basic equipment of the Eichstätt diocese since the 8th century. In 908 it was first mentioned in a document as "Puttinveld", probably going back to Puto as a personal name. At that time the place already had 101 houses, so it was not insignificant in size. In 1134 a priest Hartwig handed over a small property in Pietenfeld to the Eichstätter Benedictine convent of St. Walburg . A local nobility is documented from 1142 to 1315; whether he owned a castle is not clear. In 1298, as a result of the beef pogrom , Jews were also persecuted in Pietenfeld , as reported in the Nuremberg Memor Book and the Charleville Memor Book.

1305 Pietenfeld been in dispute over the Hirschberger inheritance -. Eichstätter the protection Vogt Count Gebhard VII of Hirschberg died childless - the Bishopric of Eichstätt awarded. In 1480 Pietenfeld became a branch of the Adelschlag parish, and in 1629 the Preith parish . During the Thirty Years War , Swedish troops camped in Pietenfeld in 1632 before moving on to Ingolstadt. From 1666 the place was provided from Eichstätt. It was not until 1674 that Pietenfeld was given the status of an independent parish, which were affiliated as branches of Pfünz and Landershofen and the chapel of Weißenkirchen. In 1719 a new school and sacristan's house was built by the parish .

During the witch hunt in the Hochstift Eichstätt , at least eleven women and three men from Pietenfeld and Pietenfeld an der Leithen (since 1978 in Landershofen ( Eichstätt )) were charged with witchcraft and sentenced to death. Two of the executions took place in 1603, eight in 1617, and four more in 1618. The Guettmann family, who had two sons and their mother to complain, was also affected.

After secularization , a “Pietenfeld tax district” was formed under Bavarian rule in 1808, which also included Weißenkirchen two and a half kilometers to the west; In 1818 both places formed the political community of Pietenfeld in the Central Franconian district of Eichstätt. In 1852 they bought the Zehentstadel from the spiritual support foundation in order to build a new schoolhouse there in 1854. The old school house that had been sold was bought back by the community in 1899 in order to expand the cemetery in its place. In 1911 she built another larger schoolhouse. At the 1861 census, the community of Pietenfeld had 443 residents and 114 buildings in six locations. 400 of them are in the village of Pietenfeld and 26 in Weißenkirchen.

From the construction of federal highway 13 , the connecting road between Pietenfeld and Eichstätt via Weißenkirchen at the multi-storey car park and at Frauenberg led down much steeper than today's federal road into the Altmühltal.

The Pietenfelder Flur, embedded in a slightly north-south sloping valley, consists largely of fertile loess soils , which are rarely found in the Jura ; this also explains the age of the place. Pietenfeld is still agriculturally oriented today; In 1983 there were 17 full-time and 22 part-time businesses with 596 inhabitants. A land consolidation was carried out as early as 1956.

In the course of the regional reform , the majority of the community Pietenfeld with the places Pietenfeld, Weißenkirchen and Ziegelhütte was incorporated into Adelschlag on May 1, 1978. The municipality part of Pietenfeld an der Leithen with about 25 inhabitants was reclassified into the district town of Eichstätt.

Catholic Church of St. Michael

The church was built in the Romanesque style, the basement floors of the steeple date from this time. In 1689, the nave of the dilapidated church was rebuilt with three bays by Giovanni Battista Camessina from Graubünden according to plans by the Eichstatter prince-bishop's court architect Jakob Engel from 1662 and 1687 . The sculpting work was entrusted to Eichstätt Christian Handschuher ; its high altar was sold to St. Martin in Nuremberg in 1922 and replaced by a work by the Regensburg sculptor Jakob Helmer . In 1714 the tower was re-covered with clapboards , raised in 1836 and given a dome with a four-sided lantern. In 1731 a third bell, which is no longer available today, was purchased. In 1897 the parish church received an organ from the Bittner company in Nuremberg, which was replaced in 1976 by an organ from the Jann company from Regensburg. In 1922 the ceiling painting was created by Leonhard Toma and in addition to the high altar also the pulpit. The two side altars are Baroque creations from 1730. Several wooden figures date from the 17th and 18th centuries, and a dechrist from the end of the 15th century. In 1953/54 the church was extended to the west. All pastors since 1671 are listed on a stone plaque. In an attached chapel there is a scene from the Mount of Olives with "capable (wooden) Rococo figures" (Mader), probably by Joseph Anton Breitenauer (1722–1785). A stone baroque crucifixion group is attached to the northern outer wall. There is a Marian column on the square in front of the church .

The parish had its own pastor until 1976, after which it was provided for by an Eichstätter cathedral vicar . Today the parish with 747 Catholics (status: 2003) is also supplied by the pastor of Möckenlohe. The Catholic kindergarten St. Michael is housed in the school building from 1911. There is a parish library.
