history

The village of Simonshofen has developed from the Sigman farm mentioned in 1360. Hop growing was mentioned there as early as 1375 . In 1333, Konrad Groß from Nuremberg acquired the goods and properties that he brought into the foundation of the Heilig-Geist-Spital, which he established. For more than 600 years the hospital authority exercised community rule, paid a school teacher and a forester. In 1806 the place came to the district of Lauf an der Pegnitz.

Due to the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , the place became a rural municipality with the Second Municipal Edict. In the course of the municipal reform in Bavaria in the 1970s, the municipality of Simonshofen was incorporated into the city of Lauf on January 1, 1973. In 2017 Simonshofen had 735 inhabitants.
