history

The farm was probably built after the 10th century and was first mentioned in the Pappenheimer Urbar in 1214 : two and a half estates pay for the bailiwick of Pappenheim. In 1297 Reinboto , Bishop of Eichstätt , gave the St. Walburg monastery in Eichstätt the big and small tithe , which Ulrich von Treuchtlingen sold to the Benedictine monastery; 1300 paid two and a half fiefs to the monastery. The place name is interpreted as "To the court of Ruozo". In 1342 the Rutzenhof belonged to Marshal von Pappenheim. In 1361, Heinrich Marschall von Pappenheim bequeathed “Valid and Interest” from “Rudzenhofen” to his wife. In 1479, however, it is reported that the tithe will go to the Benedictine nuns in Eichstätt. In 1537 a Hans Pflaumer sat on the "Rutzenhoff" and paid interest to Pappenheim. Another farm owner has been handed down from the 17th century: In 1631, after the death of Hans Zagelmeier, the “Ruzenhof” claimed the “best horse” from the “Ruzenhof”.

Martin Luther is said to have spent the night in October 1518 on his escape from Augsburg via Monheim to Nuremberg in the probably late medieval "Lutherhäusl" of the Rutzenhof . The Lutherhäusl and the main building of the courtyard from 1817 are under monument protection.

At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the Rutzenhof was a property that belonged to the Pappenheim rule; Pappenheim also held Fraisch . Ecclesiastically the hamlet belonged to the Protestant parish of Rehlingen .

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria , the estate was assigned to the Rehlingen tax district in 1808 . When the rural community “ Haag und Weiler” was formed in 1818 , the Rutzenhof also belonged to it. Haag and thus also the Rutzenhof were subordinate to the Pappenheim district court and the Weißenburg rent office, which became the Weißenburg district office in 1862 and the Weißenburg district in 1939. In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Haag "near Treuchtlingen" (name addition since 1927) was incorporated into Treuchtlingen on January 1, 1972.

Between 1925 and 1940 the farm often hosted families from Nuremberg and Weissenburg as holiday guests. Mixed farming was still practiced on the farm in 1984. Today the main building of the courtyard and the Lutherhäusl are uninhabited, and according to the warning signs there, the main building may no longer be entered because of its poor condition. According to a newspaper report from 2013, the owner of the farm, which is located in a designated clay quarrying area, has been “an entrepreneur in the stone industry for several years”.
