Ramsberg appeared for the first time as "Ramspach" in an entry in the oldest Eichstätter fief book from 1294. Other forms of name can be found in the documents, such as "Rammesperge" and the like. The name could also be derived from "Raban", which means something like raven. For this reason the "Rabenbrunnen" was built.

Until the end of the 13th century, the land in Ramsberg belonged to the Regensburg bishops . From these he went to the episcopal church of Eichstätt . Other feudal bearers were the neighboring Knights of Absberg (1240 to 1647) - the Nuremberg burgraves also appear as feudal bearers (1404).

During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) the village and church burned down almost completely, only seven houses were spared. In 1658 the Teutonic Order became the owner of the village, which now belonged to the Ballei Franken . 1667 lived in Ramsberg 14 "subjects" who were subordinate to the Teutonic Order.

In 1818 Ramsberg had 267 inhabitants; In 1824 there were 388. With the community edict, Ramsberg became an independent community in the early 19th century with the districts Birkenmühle , Langweidmühle and Öfeleinsmühle .

47 Ramsbergers died in the two world wars. In 1969 a memorial was erected for them at the forest cemetery. After the Second World War , especially in the 1960s and 1970s, numerous infrastructure measures were carried out (roads, water supply, cemetery). With a resolution of April 7, 1976 and effective May 1, 1978, the government of Middle Franconia decreed the dissolution of the municipality of Ramsberg and its incorporation into the Pleinfeld market as part of the municipal reform .

With the completion of the Franconian Lake District in the 1990s, the change from a farming village to a tourist destination took place. The highlight was in 2000 the official inauguration of the Brombachsee by the then Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber .
