history

The small settlement was first mentioned in 1183 as "Zitichendorff", 1234 as "Zizelsdorf" and probably in 1295 as "Zichendorf". In addition to a mill on the Ziegelsdorfer Bach, today's castle , the manor house of a former manor , is one of the oldest settlements on a hill . The core of the Ziegelsdorf castle dates from the 16th to 18th centuries: the saddle roof building with stepped gables and a mid-level house was redesigned in a neo-Gothic style in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1911 the village had 59 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 82. Ziegelsdorf was initially incorporated into Scherneck in 1963 . On May 1, 1978, the place came together with the community of Scherneck to Untersiemau.
