History
The Nuremberg patrician family Tockler owned the Tocklerhof in Strullendorf until the 16th century. This, and the Zeidelhuben, used for forest beekeeping and already named by 1348, were of great economic importance for the community. Strullendorf belonged to the High Monastery at Bamberg. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the community 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. Within municipal limits, 5,736 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 6,489 in 1987 and 7,846 in 2000. On 30 June 2007 it was only 7,791.
Geography
Strullendorf lies in a valley and is partly surrounded by the Hauptsmoorwald (forest), near which lies the Hauptsmoorhalle (a concert venue). The Hauptsmoorwald stretches all the way to Bamberg and parts of it are used by the US Army stationed there as a training area. A particularly pleasant place in Strullendorf is the Lindenallee, with its huge old trees. Strullendorf's main and namesake centre is by far the biggest of its Gemeindeteile with a population of 4,191. The community furthermore has these outlying centres, each given here with its own population figure: * Amlingstadt 678 * Geisfeld 933 * Leesten 259 * Mistendorf 501 * Roßdorf am Forst 492 * Wernsdorf 476 * Zeegendorf 563 The community also has 10 traditional rural land units, known in German as Gemarkungen, named Amlingstadt, Geisfeld, Leesten, Mistendorf, Roßdorf am Forst, Strullendorf, Wernsdorf, Zeegendorf, Geisberger Forst and Hauptsmoor, eight of which (all but the last two, which are wilderness areas) have the same names as eight of the constituent communities (it is traditional for a Gemarkung to be named after a town or village lying nearby). The town of Strullendorf itself lies by the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal. The town of Strullendorf also has a Deutsche Bahn train station in it. The town lies on the Staatsstraße 2244.
