history

etymology

The place name Stetten is interpreted as 'to the homes'.

prehistory

In 1927 a Neolithic residential area near Stetten was partially explored. There are some grave mounds from the Hallstatt period in the Stettener Flur. In 1933, a grave mound in ebony released a larger "grave stele" made of ariet sandstone with incisions that were previously indefinable. Several Roman roads leading through Stetten connected forts.

8th to 13th centuries

Stetten, an early Franconian settlement from the 8th century, is mentioned for the first time in the Pontifical Gundekarianum of Eichstätter Bishop Gundekar II ; the church consecration listed there probably took place between 1058 and 1060. 1146 a local nobility is mentioned with Konrad and Hermann von Stetin. From medieval times there is a small hill in the south of the village, surrounded by a moat, as a remnant of a tower castle ; According to tradition, however, the Lords of Stetten are said to have had their castle on the site of today's inn. In 1263 the Heidenheim monastery and the bishop of Eichstätt exchanged its right of patronage over the two parish churches of Stetten (St. Walburga and St. Peter) for the right of patronage over the parish church of Heidenheim; Pope Clemens IV confirmed this in 1267. In 1272, the two parish churches were united by the Eichstätter Bishop Hildebrand von Möhren , which he had previously exchanged with Ludwig von Craigenheim ( Cronheim ) for goods in Nordstetten on June 9, 1272 , as the income was hardly for a pastor sufficient. This was not uncontested by the Counts of Oettingen , who claimed the right of patronage over Stetten for themselves; In 1279 the parties agreed to submit to an arbitration tribunal. The outcome of the dispute is not recorded.

14th to 16th century

During these centuries Stetten was mentioned several times in connection with the change of ownership of goods and in Salbuch . In the 14th century, Kraft von Lentersheim owned Stetten; In 1350 he transferred income from a Stetten estate to the Auhausen monastery for an anniversary . In 1360 ownership of a farm and an estate that belonged to Rechenberg was transferred to Burchart von Seckendorff . In 1375 Anna von Paulsdorf, widow of Konrad von Hürnheim , bought a farm, a fiefdom, five farmsteads and a little garden in Stetten. In 1427 Konrad von Holzingen acquired two Stetten farms from Menwart Stainhammer; he increased his Stetten property in 1434 by purchasing goods from the property of the city of Gunzenhausen. In 1457 two people from Stetten put themselves under the protection of the Margraves of Brandenburg . In 1496 Hans von Gundelsheim sold two farms and six estates to the city of Eichstätt for redemption, which took place in 1519. In 1498 the Eichstatt bishop took the village under his protection.

Presumably in 1528 the Reformation was introduced in Stetten by Margrave Georg “the Pious” . For 1532 one learns that four estates in Stetten had to pay taxes to the Margravial Kastenamt Gunzenhausen and the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen had the high jurisdiction , the "Fraisch". For three years later it is recorded that a house in Stetten paid taxes to the caste office in Hohentrüdingen . In 1551 Wolf Friedrich von Lentersheim zu Altenmuhr received dues from a Stetten estate. In 1589 an estate in Stetten also paid interest to the Bechhofen Bailiwick . In 1590, when the von Rechenberg estates were sold to the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach, Stetten possessions were also mentioned, namely a farm, a small Selden estate and six Selden estates.

17th and 18th centuries

In 1603 the first school house was built; Until then, the pastor was also a teacher, but now his own schoolmaster was employed. The school system in Stetten probably dates back to 1545. A new school building has been handed down for 1726.

In 1608, eight margravial subjects, who were subordinate to various margravial offices, nine fox subjects and one subject from Lentersheim are given for Stetten . In 1612 the village consisted of five parish houses, namely a forge , the parish, the bath, the school and the shepherd's house, as well as seven margraves, nine foxes and one Lenterheimer subjects. The Thirty Years' War also affected Stetten, especially in 1634; those peasants who had been spared the plague fled from the Swedish and imperial mercenaries into the woods, and the pastor left the impoverished parish after losing his belongings. It was not until ten years later that Stetten was looked after by the pastor of Obermögersheim , until in 1655 a local clergyman of his own settled there to provide pastoral care to the twelve Stetten families. The reconstruction of the village was largely carried out by religious refugees from the Austrian Enns area . In 1697 a total of 23 families lived in the village.

From the 19th century to the present

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , 1802, Stetten consisted of 18 Ansbach-Prussian and 2 Eichstatt subjects; the latter, 2 half courtyards, belonged to the Eichstätter Domkapitlischen caste office Pleinfeld . The Eichstatt subjects were subordinate to the Ansbach Oberamt Gunzenhausen, as was a free estate. In the next hundred years the population moved between 160 and 200.

In 1806 Stetten, since 1792 under Prussian sovereignty with the former Margraviate of Ansbach, came to Bavaria, where in 1808 the village with Maicha, Cronheim, Filchenhard , Unterwurmbach and Unterhambach formed the tax district of Cronheim in the district court / rent office and from 1862 district office Gunzenhausen, the later ( 1939) Gunzenhausen district , formed. In 1811 Stetten became a rural community with Maicha and Unterhambach . During the next Bavarian community reform in 1818, Stetten and Maicha were separated from Unterhambach and became a rural community, with Stetten having 181 and Maicha 72 inhabitants.

For 1865 it is recorded that 46 families lived in Stetten, with 99 male and 103 female persons; there were 36 house numbers. In addition to farmers, the following professions were represented: a baker, two landlords (one of whom was also a brewer), a blacksmith, a tailor, three shoemakers, a weaver, a carpenter, a wagner and a grocer. Two years later, a manual for the Kingdom of Bavaria reports 55 buildings, a church, a school and 181 inhabitants for Stetten.

In 1910 a loan association was founded for Stetten and the surrounding area. With the arrival of the Americans in Stetten on April 23, 1945, a new era began for the community, even if it took ten years before an improvement in traffic and work conditions could be initiated. Due to the influx of refugees and displaced persons, 237 people lived in Stetten and 91 in Maicha in 1950; the population then fell sharply again. In 1955, the municipality of Stetten applied for the land consolidation , which began in 1964 and was concluded in December 1972 with the final assessment. As part of the land consolidation, a village renovation measure was also carried out from 1964 and a community machine hall was built. 1960 to 1966 the connecting roads to Maicha, Cronheim and Nordstetten were expanded. From 1961, the Sammenheim Water and Soil Association carried out a drainage project for the corridors of Stetten and Maicha. 1964/65 Stetten got a sewer system.

In 1961 there were 41 residential buildings with 197 inhabitants in the village of Stetten. The independent municipality of Stetten with Maicha was voluntarily incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971 as part of the municipal reform in Bavaria . After that, the city of Gunzenhausen rebuilt the Stetten - Maicha road. Since 1978 a joint local spokesman for Stetten and Maicha has represented the interests of the former community in the Gunzenhausen city council.
