Until the church is planted

After secularization in Bavaria in 1803, it was given to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany in 1805 to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and with this in 1814 it finally fell to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms, the current community was created with the community edict of 1818.
