history

In medieval documents, Kirchberg and Brunst refer to the same place; Weissenkirchberg and Brunst are also mentioned together in later times. Kirchberg (later called "Weißenkirchberg") belonged to the cleared area in the Reichsforst Burgbernheim , which came to the Würzburg monastery in the year 1000 . In 1222 a "Henricus, plebanus", a pastor in heat, was named; the parish was probably an early cession of the parish of Leutershausen. In 1266 a "plebanus" is mentioned again in heat. For 1271 it is handed down that there was a knightly family here. When the Burgraves of Nuremberg acquired Leutershausen from the Counts of Truhendingen in 1318 , they probably also came into possession of the ecclesiastical rights of Brunst / (Weißen-) Kirchberg. In 1333, for example, they donated the "Church Treasure of St. Wenceslas in Brunst on the Kirchberg" to the Nuremberg Order of the Teutonic Order . The order retained the patronage right until the end of the Old Kingdom , i.e. even after the parish had become Protestant in 1528 and a new pastor had to be confirmed by the margravial government. In 1336 Burgrave Johannes II acquired the village of Kirchberg / Brunst from Count Berthold von Graisbach . Around 1400 the burgraves probably owned four farms in Kirchberg / Brunst; there were also subjects of the Teutonic Order and the Sulz women's monastery . In the 16-point report of the Brandenburg-Ansbach Office of Brunst from 1608 Brunst / Weißenkirchberg is shown as a municipality with Hetzweiler ; Of the 17 Brunster teams (= subject families), two belonged to the church administration at Brunst / Kirchberg.

The place was badly hit in the Thirty Years War . In 1627 alone, 257 people died of the plague in the parish of Brunst / Weißenkirchberg . In 1632 imperial troops ravaged the area. Austrian exiles from the western Waldviertel and Mühlviertel, who had been expelled from their homeland in the course of the Counter-Reformation because of their Protestant faith , contributed in particular to the reconstruction in the late phase of the war . As early as 1640 the first exiled farming families settled in Weißenkirchberg.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom there were 22 properties. Were landlords

• the Principality of Ansbach (18 properties):
  • Box office Colmberg (1 Söldengut, 3 Söldengütlein),
  • Monastery administration office Sulz (1 Dreiviertelhof, 1 Tafernwirtschaft ),
  • Office Brunst: (Charges to Parish Weißenkirchberg: 6 Köblergut, 1 Köblergut with innkeeping and brewery rights, 2 Söldengütlein; charges to church maintenance in Weißenkirchberg: 1 Köblergut, 1 Söldengut, 1 Söldengütlein),
• the office of Schillingsfürst of the House of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst (1 Dreiviertelhof, 1 Halbhof, 1 Söldengut, 1 Söldengütlein with forge)

There were also church buildings (parish church, rectory) and communal buildings (school house, shepherd's house). From 1797 to 1808 the place was subordinate to the Justice Office Leutershausen and Chamber Office Colmberg .

In 1806 Weißenkirchberg came to the new Kingdom of Bavaria . As part of the community edict, Weißenkirchberg was assigned to the Brunst tax district, which was formed in 1808 . It also belonged to the rural community of Brunst, founded in 1810 .

According to a listing from 1830, Brunst / Weißenkirchberg was the capital of an extensive forest area between Leutershausen and the Sulz Monastery, called "the Brünst" or "the Brunst", which had been cleared in places since the Middle Ages. The Brünst was known for its good cattle breeding ; their 22 villages were considered rich. For example, 252 cattle were kept in the municipality of Brunst in 1873, 119 of them in Brunst and twelve in Weißenkirchberg.

The community of Brunst and with it Weißenkirchberg was incorporated into the city of Leutershausen on May 1, 1978.
