history

Prehistoric finds

In 1925 a stone-age stone ax and stone-age shards were found in the “Rosenacker” corridor; an excavation in 1926 brought stone knife blades, scrapers, drills, chert lumps and the remains of a hut wall to light . A Neolithic village probably stood in the “Moosacker”, at the “Dinkelquelle” and in the “Hardacker”. A Roman (signal?) Tower found in 1883 stood at the height of Pflaumfeld. Remains of a Roman road were uncovered south of Sausenhofen.

From the early days to the end of the Holy Roman Empire

The place name researcher Robert Schuh interprets the place name as "To the courtyards of a Suso". According to Robert Schuh, Sausenhofen could have been founded before 900 from the place name. The historian Martin Winter relocates the foundation to the 7th century by a Free Franconian named Suso.

For the first time the place appears as "Susenhouen" in the Pontifical Gundekarianum ; accordingly, the Eichstatt Bishop Gundekar II consecrated a church between 1057 and 1075. In the 13th century, "Heinricus miles de Svsenhoven" is a local nobility named. In 1294 the Auhausen monastery received an estate and a farmstead at "Susenhouen" from the bonded serf Cunrad von Lellenveld when he entered the monastery; around 1423 it owned three own estates in the village, which appeared for the last time in 1491 in a valid book of the monastery and were probably sold to the Counts of Oettingen . Some subjects in Sausenhofen belonged to the Oettingschen office of Sammenheim; for the bailiwick duties had to be paid to the trustee, from 1363 Oettingsche Amt Spielberg. Also the monastery Heidenheim was wealthy in the village: It compensated in 1320 to Bishop Philip of Eichstatt for another donation with a Hube to "Sausenhoue". For 1340 (and 1402) we learn that another monastery owned here, namely the Heilsbronn monastery . In 1333, 1355 and 1370 the local aristocratic family "Truhsezz (e) / Truchseß von Sausenhofen" appears. In 1375 a (later expired) Reutmühle is named, located below Sausenhofen on the Schlangenbach .

It is documented for 1400 that the monastery of Heidenheim owned the big tithe of Sausenhofen in addition to a fiefdom that was vogtable to the Spielberg rulership and two farms . In 1410, Duke Ludwig of Bavaria lent the Sausenhofen mill (probably not identical to the Reut mill in the document 1375) to a Gunzenhausen citizen; later the mill will be given as a Palatinate-Neuburg fief . A “ Burckstall zu Sawsenhofen” is documented for 1425 , which the Bishop of Eichstätt awarded as a fief with accessories (a tree garden is called). In 1426, the Heidenheim monastery lent the Widem zu Sausenhofen to the owners of the Meierhof at the time , Ulrich and Margaretha Beßrer. In 1453 the Teutonic Order in Nuremberg bought a Gütlein in Sausenhofen. 1458 and 1480 evidence from Eichstätt that the patronage right for the parish church of St. Michael is owned by the Abbot of Heidenheim; after the secularization of the monastery as a result of the implementation of the Reformation in the Principality of Ansbach, Sausenhofen also becomes Evangelical-Lutheran; the margraves had subordinated Sausenhofen to their Fraisch district of the Gunzenhausen Oberamt . A margravial monastery administrator's office was now responsible for the secularized monastery property. In the 16th century the marshals von Pappenheim appeared as landlords; In 1578 they owned 15 subjects in Sausenhofen.

For 1608, a general overview of the property situation in Sausenhofen has been handed down: 7 subjects were margraves, 1 subject belonged to Wilhelm von Buttlar , 17 were cardboard native, 4 belonged to the Oettingern, 2 were absberg and 1 subject each belonged to the Lords of Lentersheim and the Teutonic Order ( Wolframs-) Eschenbach . After the Absbergers died out, the two Absberg estates were transferred to the Teutonic Order in Absberg, documented for 1652. Sausenhofen was plundered several times during the Thirty Years' War ; in addition, 49 villagers died of the plague in 1632/33. After the war, exiles from Upper Austria were given desolate farms.

In 1656 the noble family von Zocha received ownership of Sausenhofen from the Oettingern. A document from 1732 provides an overall overview for Sausenhofen: 3 subjects belong to the Margravial Kastenamt Gunzenhausen at this time, 5 subjects belong to the margravial monastery administrator in Heidenheim, 16 subjects belong to the former paperboard administration office Berolzheim , 1 subject belongs to Oettingen-Spielberg , 4 subjects are Owned by those of Zocha, 1 subject is subordinate to the Teutonic Order in (Wolframs-) Eschenbach, 2 subjects belong to the Teutonic Order in Absberg; the mill is still a fief of the Palatinate-Neuburg region, but it pays interest to the Gunzenhausen caste office; the tithe is held by the Heidenheim monastery administrator. The authority of the community and the protection of the parish fair is owned by the Berolzheim administration office, while the bailiwick and the high Fraisch belong to the margravial chief office Gunzenhausen.

From the 19th century

1806 came as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss Sausenhofen with the former Principality of Ansbach, which had fallen to the Crown of Prussia in 1791/92 , to the Kingdom of Bavaria and there in 1808 to the tax district Aha in the district court / rent office Gunzenhausen. In 1811 Sausenhofen together with Pflaumfeld and Steinacker became a rural community (rural community); as early as 1818, Pflaumfeld and Steinacker were separated again and the two towns became an independent municipality. For 150 years nothing changed in the community status of Sausenhofen; Only the territorial reform in Bavaria brought the community to the end of independence. On May 1, 1978, it was incorporated into the newly formed community of Dittenheim.
