Uffenheim

Uffenheim lies in the fertile Gollach country of Franconia. First recorded as Offenheim in 1103, it grew around a castle held by local nobles and later by servants of the Empire. The Hohenzollern margraves introduced the Reformation in 1528. At the end of the eighteenth century the town belonged to the margraviate of Ansbach; from 1791 it passed with the Franconian margravates to Prussia. In 1806 Uffenheim became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
