history

The hamlet of Worzeldorf already existed with three or four farmsteads in the 11th century and in the 12th century developed into a street village on the important trade route from Nuremberg to Roth and Weißenburg , the so-called Venetian Street as a farmstead and horse changing station. In 1250 Worzeldorf was in the possession of Emperor Ludwig IV , who pledged it to the patrician Konrad Groß . From 1471 to 1806, the area was mostly owned by the Nuremberg patricians, despite the turmoil of the Margrave Wars and the Thirty Years' War . In 1449, however, their prerogative to break Worzeldorfer sandstone was one of the reasons for war put forward by Margrave Albrecht Achilles against the city of Nuremberg. In 1806 the place with Pillenreuth fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1808 Worzeldorf formed a tax district with Gaulnhofen , Herpersdorf , Königshof , Pillenreuth, Steinbrüchlein and Weiherhaus and from 1818 a municipality . However, Worzeldorf only gained significant economic importance from 1840 with the construction of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal and the listed grounds for cargo handling , which opened up cheap transport options to the nearby quarries .

In the Second World War was during the Battle of Nuremberg at the canal bridge at the former lock 67 an American border guards briefly. On July 1, 1972, Worzeldorf was incorporated into Nuremberg as part of the municipal reform. At the time of incorporation, Worzeldorf consisted of the districts Worzeldorf, Herpersdorf, Weiherhaus, Gaulnhofen, Pillenreuth, Königshof, Roter Bühl and Eichenlöhlein .

The busy state road St 2406 runs through the village . At Worzeldorfer Berg, a quarry is still managed every other year , the so-called Holstein quarry .
