history

The church of St. Moritz, built in a simple Gothic style, was first mentioned in a document in 1465. As a result of the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , St. Moritz became part of the independent rural community Leutenbach with the second municipal edict in 1818 , to which the village of Dietzhof still belonged. St. Moritz was temporarily inhabited by a hermit who lived in the associated hermitage. In 1987 the place was uninhabited.
