History

Until Secularization in 1803, The Benedictine Monastery at Michelsberg held sway over Rattelsdorf. Michelsberg was one of the monasteries incorporated into the High Monastery at Bamberg. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the municipality has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today’s municipality came into being under the Gemeindeedikt (“municipality Edict”) of 1818. Until 1972, Rattelsdorf belonged to Staffelstein district. The constituent municipality of Höfen, with Höfenneusig and Freudeneck, as well as Mürsbach, with Zaugendorf and Helfenroth, belonged to Ebern district until 1972, and thereby to Lower Franconia.
