history

Until the church is planted

In 1323 Wonsees was raised to market. The former office of the Prussian Principality of Bayreuth since 1792 belonged to the Franconian Empire since 1500 . With this it fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and came to Bavaria in 1810. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . Until June 30, 1972 Wonsees belonged to the disbanded district of Ebermannstadt .

Territorial reform

On January 1, 1971, Kainach was incorporated, but was removed again in the course of the first half of 1972. On July 1, 1972, Sanspareil was added. Schirradorf followed on May 1, 1978.
