history

Workerszell was not yet settled in Roman times, but it was criss-crossed by a network of Roman roads . This is how the road ran from the Weißenburg i. Bay. to Pfünz and Kösching in the local area. Settlement of the place should not have taken place before King Arnulf's donation to the Eichstätter church in 889. At that time the area came under episcopal sovereignty.

The name was first mentioned in 909. In 1305, in the dispute over the inheritance of the Counts of Hirschberg, the place was awarded to the Eichstätt Monastery. At that time the place was called "Wolkerscelle", d. H. to the monastic settlement of Wolfger. The plague raged in 1397 and 1483. In 1497, part of the town was owned by Count Ludwig zu Öttingen and therefore subject to interest ( tithe ). In 1484 the St. Walburg Monastery bought the big and small tenth. During the Thirty Years War there was looting by Swedish troops in 1644. It is known that around 1771 a certain Schenk von Geyern had fiefdoms (39 subjects) here, which formerly belonged to St. Walburg. Up to 1802 several landlords shaped the place Workerszell: Hochstift Eichstätt, Kloster St. Walburg, Dominikanerkloster Eichstätt , Kollegiatstift Eichstätt. However, the landlords lost this property in 1806 through secularization . The place itself was annexed to Bavaria, which Napoleon raised from the electorate to a kingdom.

In 1809 Workerszell had 39 properties. From 1910 onwards, the community was able to obtain water from a water pipe for the first time, with the villages joining the Sappenfelder Gruppe water supply association. In 1923 the place was electrified. In 1951, Franz Xaver Frey found the world-famous Archeopteryx in a quarry near Workerszell . You can see it today in the Jura Museum on the Willibaldsburg in Eichstätt.

On May 1, 1978, the Workerszell community was fully incorporated into the Schernfeld community. At the 1970 census, the parish had 551 inhabitants. The seven districts were Workerszell, Ferdinandsfeld , Geländer , Langensallach , Lohrmannshof , Rupertsbuch and Sperberslohe .

economy

Workerszell is characterized by agriculture , so there are six full-time and five part-time businesses here. Furthermore, the place is very dependent on the natural stone industry. A large slab of limestone mining area and two marble factories for processing Jura marble are located directly on the outskirts.
