history

There are several traces of settlement from prehistoric times near Weilerau, such as several burial mounds and a villa rustica .

Weilerau, old property

In a document copied in the 17th century from the period from 1300 to 1364, the hamlet appears for the first time in a document. There it says that the rule of Wald had two parts of the tithe "in the Aw p (ro) pe [= near] Spilberg " fiefdom from the Bishop of Eichstätt . Towards the end of the 14th century, Hans Walder zu Gunzenhausen had two thirds of the tithe from the bishop of Eichstätt. When in 1436 Count Ludwig von Oettingen sold Spielberg Castle for redemption to Haupt von Pappenheim , eight hubs , a piece of wood, a garden and a number of pieces of land "to the Aw" were among the members of the castle ; the redemption took place in 1493. Two thirds of the large and small tithe were in 1479 as a Eichstättisches fief in the possession of Sigmund Kawtsch. In 1496, according to the oldest Gunzenhausen town book, Margarethe Samenhaimerin, widow of Cuntz Samenhaimer, sold her tithe “to the Auh bei Gnotzheim” to her son-in-law Hanns Scheuffelein zu Nördlingen . In the early 16th century Gilg von Muhr owned two thirds of the Eichstättischen tithe loan that he had acquired from Sigmund Kautsch; the remaining third belonged to the parish Gnotzheim. According to a document from 1544, the Heidenheim monastery also owned "Aw"; it received taxes for a field fief. Four years later, the Oettingen property had grown to eight hubs, which paid interest to the Spielberg office. In 1556 the two thirds of the Eichstatt tenure changed hands again; they passed on to Wolf Christoph and Hans von Hessberg . For 1595, Christoph Philipp von Heßberg can be proven as the owner. In addition, in 1608 two subjects to “Aw bey Gnotzheim” were subordinate to the margravial monastery office of Heidenheim, which received the interest on the goods of the secularized monastery.

In the Thirty Years War , the hamlet was almost wiped out after 1631. In an Oettingen document, which was made after 1657, it is said that seven houses and one farm are barren. In 1682 only one subject has to pay taxes to the monastery office in Heidenheim. At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , in 1804 Weilerau was designated as a Catholic hamlet in the Ansbachian, since 1792 Prussian Chamber of Commerce Heidenheim, whose inhabitants were parish in the Ornbau chapter of Gnotzheim . At that time it consisted of two half courtyards, five farm estates and a community shepherd's house, which were subordinate to the Oberamt Spielberg.

In 1806 the hamlet with Gnotzheim came to the Kingdom of Bavaria and there in 1808 to the district court of Heidenheim . From 1808 he belonged with Gnotzheim, Spielberg, Letzleinsmühle and Simonsmühle to the tax district Gnotzheim, which was converted into the rural community (rural community) Gnotzheim in 1811 . In 1818 it became a market . From 1835 at the latest, Protestants who were parish to Stetten also lived in Weilerau . From mid-1842 Gnotzheim was without Spielberg, but with Weilerau and the aforementioned mills again an independent rural community. The regional reform in Bavaria did not change anything - except that Spielberg came back to Gnotzheim on April 1, 1971 and the municipality has been in the enlarged Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district (initially Weißenburg district in Bavaria) since July 1, 1972.

In 1964 the community road Gnotzheim - Weilerau was built.
