history

Steppach was first mentioned in a document in 1000 in the Fulda tradition notes. The place is likely to have arisen only in the 10th century during the declining Frankish colonization. The place name means to the steadily flowing stream . The Würzburg bishopric was the original feudal lord . In 1093 the Lords of Stetebach were mentioned, who belonged to the Ministerial Association of the Counts of Abenberg . They had a free self in and were Bishopric of Bamberg connected. At the end of the 13th century, the Stetebach were extinct. The burgraviate of Nuremberg , and in their successor the margraves , were feudal lords. In 1422 the Lords of Cratz appeared as their fiefdoms . The margravial office of Liebenau-Steppach had to sell Margrave Georg Wilhelm on July 1, 1721 because of excessive indebtedness. It was purchased for 72,000 florins from the Counts of Schönborn .

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 69 properties and a community shepherd's house in Steppach. The high court and the village and community rulership exercised the Schönborn rule of Pommersfelden . The landlords were the Pommersfelden rulership (inn, 2 breweries, bathing room, 3 estates, 17 Sölden , 9 stalactites , 8 houses), the Bamberg Monastery ( Sambach administration : 4 Gülthöfe, 12 Sölden, 2 stalactites; Bamberg cathedral chapter: 1 mill, 1 estate , 2 houses; Kastenamt Schlüsselau : 2 Gütlein) and the parish of Steppach (3 houses).

In 1802 the Bamberg estates came from Steppach to Bavaria , and in 1806 those of the Pommersfelden rulership. As part of the municipal edict , the Steppach tax district was formed in 1808 , to which Stolzenroth and Unterköst belonged. In the same year, the rural community Steppach was formed, which was congruent with the tax district. In administration and jurisdiction it was subordinate to the regional court of Höchstadt and in financial administration to the Rent Office of Höchstadt . In the voluntary jurisdiction and the local police, 42 properties were subordinate to the Pommersfelden Patrimonial Court (until 1848). From 1862 Steppach was administered by the district office of Höchstadt an der Aisch (renamed the district of Höchstadt an der Aisch in 1938 ) and continued by the Rentamt Höchstadt (1920–1929: Finanzamt Höchstadt , from 1929: Finanzamt Forchheim ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court of Höchstadt until 1879, 1880–1959 district court of Höchstadt , from 1959 district court of Forchheim . The municipality had an area of ​​11.809 km².
