On June 10, 1336 Key field received by Emperor Louis of Bavaria , the market rights . After the death of its founder it fell to the bishops of Bamberg and Würzburg. By settlement, Würzburg also acquired Bamberg's share in Schlüsselfeld in 1390. In 1396, the Schlüsselfeld market was granted city rights . The Würzburg bishops expanded Schlüsselfeld into an office and chose Thüngfeld Castle as the official seat.

On the town hall built in 1723, a Latin inscription proclaims the following saying:

"This house hates unrest, loves peace, punishes crime, upholds justice, honors goodness."

As part of the high pin Würzburg , which for 1500 Franconian Circle belonged to the penny Office key field was in 1803 in Bavaria's favor secularized , fell in the Peace of Pressburg (1805) newly to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and finally came back on field adjustments in 1810 to Bavaria .

As part of the municipal edict , the tax district Schlüsselfeld was formed, to which Thüngbach belonged. In the same year the rural community of Schlüsselfeld was established, which was congruent with the tax district. In 1813 it was raised to the status of a municipality. In administration and jurisdiction it was subordinate to the district court of Höchstadt and in the financial administration to the Rentamt Höchstadt . From 1862, Schlüsselfeld was administered by the district office of Höchstadt an der Aisch (renamed the district of Höchstadt an der Aisch in 1938 ) and continued to be administered by the rent office of Höchstadt (1920–1929: tax office Höchstadt , from 1929: tax office Forchheim ).
