History
The derivation of the name Litzendorf is unclear. It could have come from the Slavic word lyko ("bast") or from the Germanic word litzel ("little").
In Merovingian and Carolingian times, when the villages, which were likely of Frankish and Slavic origin, arose, the Ellern Valley was still heavily wooded.
The name Litzendorf first cropped up in 1129 in a document from Bishop of Bamberg Otto, which mentions an Otgoz von Licindorf. Otgoz belonged to the lower subservient nobility and was a court and administrative official to Saint Otto.
Litzendorf later belonged to the High Monastery at Bamberg, but since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the community has belonged to Bavaria.
