history

In 1212 a "Wernhard of Watzendorph" was mentioned, which had an after fief in Vrach, which then by the Bishop of Wurzburg Otto I of Lobdeburg the monastery Heilsbronn free self bequeathed. This is also the first mention of the place. The defining word of the place name is the personal name Wazo , who can be seen as the founder of the village. Settlement before the year 1000 can be assumed.

Heilsbronn Monastery received the tithe there, partly as a gift from Seyfrid Bruschenkel , and partly from the Lords of Pfefferbalg , who had sold their tithe share in 1336 to the 16th Abbot Gamsfelder .

The 33rd Abbot Schörner complained about the community life there during the Reformation as follows in a letter to the bailiff Christoph von Seckendorf zu Windsbach: “The subjects of the various (four) lordships there are all full of envy and hatred because of water, pasture, shepherd's fries and weth . There is constant complaint and litigation. If they were all under the same rule, the best advice would be to throw them all together in a tower and leave them there with bread and water until they were united. Without a doubt they would soon come to an agreement. "

In the 16-point report of the Oberamt Windsbach from the year 1608, five teams are listed for Watzendorf: one estate was subordinate to the caste office Windsbach , one estate was subordinate to the council of Windsbach , one yard was the cloister administration office Heilsbronn and two yards of the imperial city of Nuremberg . There was also a communal shepherd's house. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach .

A report on the state of the place after the Thirty Years' War contains the words: "Oede and burned away." In fact, Watzendorf was completely destroyed and only repopulated by Austrian expellees.

In the official description of the Lichtenau nursing office from 1748, five subject families are specified for the place, two of which were subordinate to the nursing office and three foreign masters.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were seven properties and a communal shepherd's house in Watzendorf. The high court and the village and community rulership was exercised by the caste and municipal bailiff's office in Windsbach. The landlords were the principality of Ansbach (box office Windsbach: 1 estate, 1 estate; monastery administration office Heilsbronn: 1 yard, 1 half yard, 1 estate), the state alms office of the imperial city of Nuremberg (1 yard, 1 half yard). From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the Justice and Chamber Office Windsbach . The number of properties was unchanged.

As part of the community edict, Watzendorf was assigned to the Bertholdsdorf tax district formed in 1808 . It belonged to the rural community of Aich, founded in 1810 . In 1811/12 the change to the Aich tax district took place , but it was again added to the Bertholdsdorf tax district in 1816. With the second community edict (1818) Watzendorf was re-incorporated into the newly formed rural community of Wollersdorf .

In 1934, the small farmer from Watzendorf, Peter Kohl, discovered around 1800 silver coins wrapped in linen in his field. They date from a period between 1220 and 1261 and represent the third largest coin find in southern Germany for this period. The coins were sold to museums, dealers and collectors throughout Europe.

On January 1, 1972, Watzendorf was incorporated into Neuendettelsau as part of the regional reform .

religion

Originally the residents were parish to St. Maria (Großhaslach) . In 1473, St. Kunigund in Reuth was elevated to a parish and, along with the surrounding towns, including Watzendorf, was separated from the mother church. As early as the first half of the 16th century - in 1545 at the latest - St. Kunigund became a branch of St. Michael (Weißenbronn) and St. Stefan (Wollersdorf) . In 1812 Watzendorf and Wollersdorf were finally given to the parish of St. Georg in Bertholdsdorf , to which the residents of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination still belong to this day. The residents of the Roman Catholic denomination were originally parish to Our Lady (Heilsbronn) , since 1992 they have been parish to St. Franziskus (Neuendettelsau) .

Remarks

  • The distance information corresponds to the beeline between the respective geographic objects. They do not give the route .
  • A detailed list of the responsible judicial and administrative authorities can be found in the article of the (former) municipality responsible for the district.
  • The guidelines of the statistical surveys were changed several times during the period shown, which is why the information on population development - number of inhabitants and number of houses - does not count the same depending on the point in time. For more information, see the official regional directories for Bavaria .
