Until the church is planted

The place was first mentioned in 1297 as "Wumarsuelden". The place was named after the personal name of the founder Uuinimar, Wonamar . It was first called "Pomersvelden" in 1319/1320. Pommersfelden has been owned by the Truchsess von Pommersfelden since the 14th century . In 1349 Heinrich Truchseß donated the church of St. Maria and Johannes and received the associated patronage . The place, which previously belonged to the Seussling parish , became independent under canon law at the same time.

With the death of Friedrich Ernst Truchseß von Pommersfelden on April 21, 1710, this noble family died out. In his will, Friedrich Ernst appointed Elector Lothar Franz von Schönborn ( Archbishop of Mainz and Prince-Bishop of Bamberg ) as a universal heir .

At the end of the 18th century there were 81 properties in Pommersfelden. The high court exercised the Schönborn rule in Pommersfelden. If necessary, it had to be delivered to the Bamberg center in Bechhofen . The rulership of Pommersfelden held the village and community rulership. The landlords were the lordship of Pommersfelden (castle, mill, brewery, sheep farm, 3 taverns, 1 bath room, 1 forge, 2 courtyards, 1 third courtyard, 2 estates, 2 estates, 32 Sölden , 20 drip houses , 8 houses) and the parish Pommersfelden (rectory , 1 drip house). Two houses and a shepherd's house were buildings used by the community.

As part of the community edict which was tax district Pommersfelden made to the Limbach and Weissenstein Castle belonged. With the second community edict (1818) the rural community of Pommersfelden was formed, which was congruent with the tax district.

In the voluntary jurisdiction, the entire community was subject to the Pommersfelden Patrimonial Court (until 1848).

The jurisdiction remained with the district court of Höchstadt until 1879, 1880–1959 district court of Höchstadt , from 1959 district court of Forchheim . The municipality originally had an area of ​​10.777 km².
