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. Within municipal limits, 3,413 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 3,987 in 1987 and 4,566 in 2000. In May 2005, 4,681 inhabitants were counted. All together, Rattelsdorf has four breweries: the Schwanenbräu in Ebing, the Brauerei Endres in Höfen, the Sonnenbräu in Mürsbach and the Brauerei Fischer in Freudeneck (the smallest place in Bamberg district that has a brewery). In all three brewery inns, one can enjoy Franconian beer and bread specialities. Also, in Medlitz there was the Brauerei Schwarzer Adler until 1986 and until 2002, Mürsbach also had the Brauerei Feiler.
