history

About 625 meters north-northwest of Tempelhof, two prehistoric burial mounds have been found in Westermüllerholz.

The hamlet essentially consists of an estate. It is a previously closed four-sided courtyard with a mansion with a corner bay window and a limestone roof in the middle of the courtyard. The current buildings date from the 17th to 20th centuries. An elongated barn with a limestone roof on the east side of the square, probably dating from the 18th century, was partially collapsed in 2001 and was demolished. Remains of the courtyard walling and the western courtyard gate are still there. A chapel from the 18th century stands west of the manor.

The manor belonged to the Commandery of the Templar Order in Mo (o) sbrunn (en) as one of the oldest settlements of this knightly order in Germany (it was renamed Moritzbrunn in the 16th century). The Commandery and the Tempelhof are mentioned for the first time in 1214 in the land register of the Reichsmarschalls von Pappenheim , where the Tempelhof appears as the "property of the Templars of Moosbrunn".

The Mosbrunn Commandery came into the possession of the Order of St. John in 1315 after the Order of the Templars was abolished (on March 22, 1312 by Pope Clement V ) . From 1318 the order tried to sell Mosbrunn. Finally, the Johanniter Vice-Master and Commander of the House of Würzburg , Johannes von Grumbach , managed to sell the Moritzbrunn Commandery together with the Tempelhof in 1322 to the Eichstätter Bishop Marquard I von Hagel for 1200 pounds of Heller. From then on the Tempelhof belonged to the secularization of the Bishopric of Eichstätt .
