history

The village was mentioned for the first time in a document under the name zu Tanne in 1383, in a further mention Waldtann is referred to with its current place name in 1409. The name of the place suggests that the nucleus of the place was a clearing within a coniferous or fir forest. Originally the settlement was presumably owned by the Lohr rulership , later the Hohenlohe family acquired ownership rights over the place. From the year 1399 the village belonged to the area of ​​the burgraviate of Nuremberg or its successor territory , the Hohenzollern principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach . From the 14th century onwards, the Dinkelsbühl families Berlin , Hofer , Theurer and Schwertfürb , the hospital of the imperial city of Dinkelsbühl and the noble families of Crailsheim , von Ellrichshausen , von Helmstadt and von Knöringen began to acquire property rights in the place. In 1732 Brandenburg-Ansbach had the Vogteiliche authorities hold more than 21 subjects, the imperial city of Dinkelsbühl 18 and based in Dinkelsbühl Coming of the Teutonic Order a. The village was thus a condominium that was administered jointly by the territorial powers involved. The higher jurisdiction , however, was exercised by Brandenburg-Ansbach alone. In the years 1571 and 1634 major fire disasters occurred in Waldtann and after the Thirty Years' War the village was even desolate for a few years and no longer inhabited.

The part of the Waldtanner area belonging to the imperial city of Dinkelsbühl came into the possession of the Prussian Ansbach-Bayreuth as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803 , the village itself fell to the Kingdom of Baiern in 1806 . With the border treaty concluded between Bavaria and Württemberg in 1810 , the place then transferred to the Kingdom of Württemberg and subsequently belonged to the newly created Oberamt Crailsheim .

As a result of the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century , the place became an independent rural community, which also included the hamlets of Asbach , Bergbronn , Mistlau , Neuhaus , Rötsweiler, Ruppersbach , Stegenhof and Vehlenberg as well as the Sixenhof farmstead . Waldtann has been part of Kreßberg since 1973, after this entire community was re-formed from the previously independent communities of Leukershausen , Marktlustenau , Mariäkappel and Waldtann in the course of the municipal territorial reform . In 2018 Waldtann had 902 inhabitants.
