history
Until the church is planted
The area around Wilburgstetten was a settlement site very early on. In 1931 a prehistoric sitting grave was found during shaft work west of the B 25 , which experts dated to around 2000 BC. The Romans drew their border wall, the Limes , in the south of Wilburgstetten. It runs through Wilburgstetten from the west ( Baden-Württemberg , Höllmühle / Höllweiher) coming, (in the approximate location of the southern entrance point of the station) leading to the east, in the southern local area. At Bundesstraße 25 ( Romantic Road , section Nördlingen-Dinkelsbühl) there is a Limes memorial stone from 1861, which King Max II had erected here. Parts of the Roman fortifications are still visible today and are popularly known as the "Devil's Wall".
In the Middle Ages , Wilburgstetten was in the area of the Counts of Oettingen . From 1261 there was an independent local nobility in Wilburgstetten: the von Rechenberg family . You were truchess of the aforementioned Count von Oettingen and lived at the Limburg Fortress . Another branch of the family owned Wilburg Castle in the middle of the village. She is the namesake of the community. The first settlements arose around the two fortresses on both sides of the river. The castles secured the transition of the old Reichsstraße from Dinkelsbühl over the Wörnitz to Nördlingen and further south. In 1311 the place was first mentioned as "Wilburcsteten". The defining word of the place name is the feminine personal name Wilburg.
From 1431 to 1805 Wilburgstetten was significantly influenced by the imperial city of Dinkelsbühl , which became landlord and patroness of Wilburgstetten after the local nobility died out and whose coat of arms still adorns the gable of the Wilburgstetten rectory today. Dinkelsbühl also had customs rights on the Wörnitzbrücke. When crossing the bridge at Wilburgstetten, the trailer toll and customs duties were due. Of Jews was asked a toll if only for crossing on foot.
The place was also partly in the Fraisch district of the Ansbach Oberamt Wassertrüdingen . At the end of the 18th century there were 44 subject families , all of whom had the county of Oettingen as their landlord .
With the community edict (early 19th century) the tax district Wilburgstetten was formed, to which Greiselbach belonged. A little later, the rural community of Wilburgstetten was formed with Höllmühle , Neuölmühle and Wolfsbühl . In administration and jurisdiction, it was subordinate to the District Court of Nördlingen , and subsequently to the District Court of Dinkelsbühl . In 1961 the municipality had an area of 5.531 km².
20th century
In the 20th century, the Wilburgstetten settlement area expanded strongly to the south. Today the village on the Wörnitz is considered a small center with over 2100 inhabitants and - given the size of the village - an impressive 900 jobs. In 1847 a new school building was built; after its school era it served as a kindergarten until 1974. A new school building was built in 1929 and has served as the town hall since 1966. Earlier common names of the place were "Willburgstetten" and "Wildburgstetten".

Architectural monuments
- Catholic Church of St. Margaret - It was originally built as a separate church for the local aristocrats and dedicated to Margaret of Pisidia, who, according to legend, was martyred in 304. The small church, which can be traced back to 1602, was enlarged in 1779 to the dimensions of the current transept. Around 1900 the church was extended by a new building attached at right angles and decorated in the colorful neo- romantic style . Four attempts to raise the original tower in relation to the enlarged church failed. It was not until 2001 that the tower shaft was raised by more than eight meters - albeit against the will of the monument office - and adapted to the changed proportions of the entire building. The gable roof from 1603 was lifted with a mobile crane and, after a few repairs, put back on the grown tower neck.
- Holy Cross Chapel from 1745 on the former castle hill in the meadow of the Wörnitz. From there there is supposed to be an underground tunnel under the Wörnitz to the Klösterle in Mönchsroth (not accessible).
- Grimeiß'sches Haus, former schoolhouse
- Remnants of the Limes

The increasing truck traffic on the B 25, as an escape reaction from the truck toll, had led to protests in Greiselbach because of the strong increase in noise and emissions from the residents (April 25, 2007). Meanwhile the B 25 bypasses the place.
