history

Under Charlemagne , Saxons were forcibly resettled in three batches . The third batch, 804, was the largest, and in this case the town of Saxony near the already existing Leutershausen was created. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1289: In the oldest Rothenburg law book there is a lawsuit against three people from the village because of unpaid guarantees ; Another lawsuit was brought against people from Saxony in 1304. In 1349 a Fritz Schade von Sachsen bei Leutershausen was named as a ministerial officer , who worked as a judge in Leutershausen and had his aristocratic residence in Saxony. 1376 is called Konrad Schade von Sachsen. In 1382 the caretaker in Leutershausen owned the "Königswiese" near Saxony. In 1387 a Johann von Thann sealed the seal in Saxony. Heinrich Deuerlein zu Sachsen, mentioned in 1395, was probably a low nobility who had risen from the peasant elite and who had a "dwelling", a fortified house, in Saxony. This was acquired by the Eichstatt Marshal Hans Feldbrecher zu Sachsen. The house of Saxony passed from Jörg Feldbrecher to Conz Hayd, whose widow sold the property to Heinz Weylerspacher. Around 1400 the burgrave of Nuremberg owned a fief that was issued at this time against interest. One loan taker was Peter Schad; The Schade zu Sachsen are mentioned for the last time in 1419. The taverns of Leutershausen and - in 1405 - Stephan Thanner owned further fiefdoms in Saxony.

In 1445 the Seckendorff family had fiefdoms in Saxony, a farmstead with a castle wall, acquired from Fritz Stettner. As a result, the gentlemen von Seckendorff zu Jochsberg sold and bought their estate in Saxony several times. In 1470 and 1498 a Sigmund von Hoppingen zu Sachsen bei Leutershausen is mentioned, who is to be seen in connection with the noble family Braun von Birkenfels zu Wiedersbach (and Lehrberg ) mentioned for the last time in 1405 . In 1475 a Junker Sigmund von Heßberg zu Sachsen is named. There is an overview of the manors in Saxony for 1525: Nine goods belonged to the margraves , four belonged to the parish of Leutershausen, five to the church in Leutershausen, four to the town of Leutershausen, six to the Wolmershausen residents of Burlewagen near Crailsheim , three to the Seckendorff house, one to the Stettner, one of the Ansbacher Stift and one of the "Lehrbergerin".

In 1600 32 teams were recorded for Saxony. 21 were subordinate to the Leutershausen office, seven to the Colmberg office, one to the Colmberg monastery and three to the Seckendorff manor Rauenbuch ; The latter was bought by Margrave Georg Friedrich in 1594 from the Seckendorff heir, Endres Fuchs von Bimbach zu Möhren, and made it subject to his monastery administrator's office in Sulz . In 1681 Saxony comprised 36 teams; six of them, owned by Ansbach personal physician Johann Bernhard Ayrer , came to the margrave in 1690. Even if the margravial owners of "foreign" subjects in Saxony inner Etters exercised the bailiwick and other rights over their respective subjects, Fraisch was only available to the margrave. In the Vetterschen Oberamtsbeschreibung from 1732 32 Ansbach subject families were given for Saxony, all of them Ansbachian:

• Box office Colmberg (7 subjects),
• Monastery Office Sulz (3 subjects),
• Stiftsamt Ansbach 1 subject,
• Stadtvogteiamt Leutershausen (21 subjects, 7 of which are subject to the Leutershausen Church Administration).

In addition, there were four barren farmsteads and a community shepherd's house. All rights were with the Vogtamt Leutershausen. Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Saxony continued to consist of the 32 margravial estates distributed over several offices and a community shepherd's house. From 1797 to 1808 the place was subordinate to the Justice Office Leutershausen and Chamber Office Colmberg .

As part of the municipal edict , Saxony was assigned to the Jochsberg tax district, formed in 1808 . It belonged to the rural community Erlbach, founded in 1810 .

According to a listing from 1830, the place belonged to an extensive forest area between Leutershausen and Sulz Monastery with the main town Brunst, called "the Brünst" or "the Brunst", which has been cleared in places since the Middle Ages . The Brünst was known for its good cattle breeding; their 22 villages were considered rich. In 1873, 167 head of cattle and thus a good third of the cattle population of the Erlbach community were kept in Saxony.

On January 1, 1972, Saxony was incorporated into Leutershausen as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
