History
Staffelstein was first mentioned around 800 and received its town status in 1130. In 1846, with the construction of the Ludwig South-North Railway, the town was connected to the Bavarian rail network. The status of spa was awarded in 2001. Kaider is known for its stone industry, as well as for St. Mary's Chapel. Kaider was earlier known as Dabermannsdorf; the change to the name Kaider has been proven to have taken place no later than 1542. Kaider was first mentioned on 12 December 1299. On that day, Albert von Giech, knight of Bamberg, sold with the agreement of his wife Elisabeth and his brother Kunimund, a canon of Bamberg Cathedral, all of his lands in Nuweseze (Neuses am Main), Obristfeld, and Dabermannsdorf (now Kaider) to Langheim Abbey. The selling price was 126 Pfund Bamberg Denars. Schwabthal lies 7 km east of Bad Staffelstein and has around 200 residents. The District Reform of 1972 brought many changes to Staffelstein. Except for the District Office all other central administrations were dissolved. With the Municipal Territory Reform in 1978, the loss of administrative power and centrality became more balanced.
