History
The community had its first documentary mention in 1248. The placename Stadelhofen is believed to mean “at the farms furnished with a barn”. However, it could also have come from a corrupted personal name.
Stadelhofen lies at the spot where an old army road from Bamberg to Kulmbach once crossed the way from Weismain to Hollfeld.
Even if Stadelhofen had its first documentary mention rather late, it is clear that the area was already settled by the year 630. On a map from 1595, the area around Stadelhofen bears the description Uf dem Gebürg.
In 1386, the Counts of Truhendingen sold the place at a price of 2,000 heller to the Bishop of Bamberg. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, before which the community had belonged to the High Monastery at Bamberg, Stadelhofen has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today’s community came into being under the Gemeindeedikt (“Community Edict”) of 1818. Since 1978, the community has consisted of the formerly autonomous communities of Stadelhofen, Wölkendorf, Schederndorf and Steinfeld.
Besides Stadelhofen there was also once in the area a now lost parish called Leuchnitz, which lay somewhere between Weismain and Steinfeld.
