history

At Steinacker there was a settlement made of linear ceramic tape and several body graves .

Steinacker is historically tangible for the first time in the 14th century; In a document from around 1300 to 1364 it says that the Seginger, a feudal man of the Count of Oettingen , has two parts of the tithe in Steinacker from the Bishop of Eichstätt as a fief ; Another Oettingscher fiefdom, Konrad von Altheim, also had fiefdoms in Steinacker at this time. In 1360 there is talk of a change of ownership of the two farms to "Steynacker" from Ulrich, Erkenger and Konrad von Rechenberg to Burchart von Seckendorff . In 1384 a Fritz Kraft from the Eichstätter bishop had two thirds of the tithe from Steinacker as a fief. In 1548, the two courtyards in the village were subject to duty by the Oettingschen Amt Spielberg ; after 1657 these were probably desolate as a result of the Thirty Years' War . In 1732, as before, the hamlet consists of two Oettingschen courtyards that are parish in the Catholic Gnotzheim; While Oettingen-Spielberg is the municipality's authority , the high level of jurisdiction is exercised by the Margravial-Ansbach Oberamt Gunzenhausen, which in 1792 passes to Prussia with the Ansbach Principality . Towards the end of the Holy Roman Empire there are still two subject families in Steinacker in 1802.

In 1806 Steinacker came with the former Ansbach principality to the Kingdom of Bavaria and in 1808 it was incorporated with Pflaumfeld into the tax district Aha in the district court of Heidenheim . In 1811 it was reorganized into the rural community of Sausenhofen . In 1818, Pflaumfeld and Steinacker became an independent rural community. With the regional reform in Bavaria , Pflaumfeld was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971. Since July 1, 1972, the town of Gunzenhausen and Steinacker belong to the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, which was initially formed under the name of Weißenburg district in Bavaria .
