history

The place name Stein is not uncommon. The first mention that can be safely assigned to Wörnitzstein is, according to two documents from the Kaisheim monastery, between the end of June 1214 and September 20, 1216. The river Wörnitz ("Stain an der Werncz") only appears in the documents from around 1417 onwards. , from 1534 regularly the current place name Wörnitzstein. The rulership conditions at that time can be found in the contract concluded in Augsburg in 1526 on disputes between the Dukes of Palatinate-Neuburg and the Kaisheim monastery on account of authority, border marking, appointment of guardianship and criminal jurisdiction over the people and goods of the Stein monastery. On July 1, 1972, Wörnitzstein was added to the Donau-Ries district in the course of the district reform in Bavaria , until May 1, 1973 with the name of Nördlingen-Donauwörth district. With the completion of the municipal reform, Wörnitzstein was incorporated into the large district town of Donauwörth on January 1, 1978.
