history

Very little is known about the history of the Winkelhof. Originally there was only one farm for a long time, which was subordinate to the Lords of Schwarzenberg . Even after the mediatization at the beginning of the 19th century, the gentlemen remained responsible for the residents of Winkelhof, which now belonged to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg . On May 26, 1810, the Grand Duchy and the Kingdom of Bavaria agreed on border purification, and Winkelhof became Bavarian.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Lords of Schwarzenberg finally lost their power of disposal over the Winkelhof; instead, the family bought the farm or paid it off. The hamlet reached its present size between 1930 and 1941. At that time, homeless farmers from Bonnland near Hammelburg , which had to give way to the construction of a military training area, were settled there. The Bonnländer built a church in Wässerndorf in the period that followed.
