history

Richthausen - historic farmhouses and half-timbered houses along Richthausener Strasse (2017)

The first settlement activities in the municipal area are documented by archaeological finds for the period between 1040 and 1050 AD. The first written mention of Winkelhaid comes from the year 1274.

At the beginning of the 16th century, there were already 50 properties for Winkelhaid. At the end of the 18th century, around 380 people lived in the village. The opening of the Nuremberg-Feucht-Winkelhaid-Altdorf railway line (1878) brought new opportunities, as many Winkelhaid people found jobs in Nuremberg.

Population development

In 1925 there were 724 inhabitants. After the Second World War , the place grew due to the influx of refugees and displaced persons, so that the population grew to 1,388 inhabitants by 1950. Due to the decline in agriculture, fields were converted into building land, and in 1976 the 3,000-inhabitant limit was reached. In 2017 Winkelhaid had 4,274 inhabitants, with a population density of 674 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the main town of Penzenhofen was incorporated into the disbanded municipality of the same name.

coat of arms

The Winkelhaider coat of arms shows a golden beehive in red on a green ground, above it a silver cross bar and a silver angle are shown.

The angle symbolizes the place name , which stands for Heide im Winkel. The beehive indicates the historical Zeidelgüter and the associated forest beekeeping. The location in the Reichswald offered suitable conditions for this. The cross staff is considered the attribute of Saint John, to whom the church in Penzenhofen was also consecrated.
