history

Weidensees was first mentioned in writing in 1153 under the name Wittingeseze . Towards the end of the Middle Ages, Weidensees belonged to the Electoral Palatinate Office of Betzenstein . In the course of the Landshut War of Succession , among other things, the Betzensteiner district was occupied by the troops of the Imperial City of Nuremberg and this occupation was contractually recognized by the Electoral Palatinate after lengthy negotiations. As a result of this contract, the Nuremberg nursing office in Hiltpoltstein held the highest jurisdiction over Weidensee for the next three centuries , but did not rule over the village and community . Because this was still exercised by the Electoral Palatinate, so that Weidensees remained as one of the few places of the Betzenstein office under Electoral Palatinate sovereignty and formed an exclave of the Upper Palatinate together with the neighboring town of Hüll to the southwest . In essence, nothing changed when the Upper Palatinate was handed over as a fief to Kurbaiern after the ostracism of the Palatinate Elector Friedrich V (the so-called Winter King ) . For Weidensees this only meant that village and community rule was now exercised by another Wittelsbach line . In the following period these conditions remained largely unchanged until Weidensees was handed over to the Prussian Ansbach-Bayreuth in 1803 according to the conditions agreed in the main state border and purification comparison with the Kingdom of Prussia . It thus became the northeast corner point of the Eschenau street district , a fragmentary corridor that connected the two geographically separated parts of this territory via a military road. After the Prussian defeat in the Fourth Coalition War , the village and the entire Principality of Bayreuth were placed under a military administration set up by the French Empire in 1807 . With the acquisition of this principality by the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 , Weidensees finally became Bavarian again.

Due to the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , Weidensees became an independent rural community with the second municipal edict in 1818, to which the parish village of Hüll also belonged. In the course of the municipal territorial reform carried out in Bavaria in the 1970s , the entire municipality of Weidensses was incorporated into the town of Betzenstein at the beginning of 1972. In 1987 Weidensee had 398 inhabitants.

traffic

The connection to the public road network is mainly made by the federal highway 2 , which runs through the northern local area and which, coming from the west of Leupoldstein , continues in a north-northeast direction to Bronn . The district road BT 32 branches off from the main road in the village and leads in an east-south-east direction to the Weidensee junction, about two kilometers away, where access to the federal highway 9 is possible.
