Stadelhofen is a community in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg and a member of the administrative community ("Verwaltungsgemeinschaft") of Steinfeld.

Geography

The community lies on the edge of the “Franconian Switzerland” on the Autobahn from Bamberg to Bayreuth.

Constituent communities

Stadelhofen’s namesake centre is not the biggest of its "Gemeindeteile" with Steinfeld being more than twice its size. The community has these centres, each given here with its own population figure:
*Eichenhüll 116
*Hohenhäusling 87
*Hopfenmühle 9
*Pfaffendorf 115
*Roßdorf am Berg 54
*Schederndorf 144
*Stadelhofen 193
*Steinfeld 402
*Wölkendorf 102
*Wotzendorf 68The community also has 5 traditional rural land units, known in German as "Gemarkungen", named Hohenhäusling, Schederndorf, Stadelhofen, Steinfeld and Wölkendorf, four of which have the same names as four of the constituent communities (it is traditional for a "Gemarkung" to be named after a town or village lying nearby).

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.

The Catholic parish church, consecrated to Saint Peter and Saint Catherine, comes from the 18th century. The tower with its pointed cupola is one of the area’s landmarks. The high altar was bought in 1721 from the people in Litzendorf.

Population development

Within municipal limits, 1404 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 1291 in 1987 and 1274 in 2000. In 2004-2005 it was 1200.

Politics

The mayor is Ludwig Göhl (Überparteiliche Wählergemeinschaft). He succeeded Heinrich Linz (CSU) in 2002.

Municipal election 2002

At the 2002 municipal election, the "Überparteiliche Wählergemeinschaft" voters’ group won 6 seats (49.7%), the CSU won 3 (26.6%) and the "Freie Wähler" won 3 (23.7%). Voter turnout was 90.1%.

In 1999, municipal tax revenue, converted to euros, amounted to €382,000 of which business taxes (net) amounted to €37,000.

Coat of arms

Stadelhofen’s arms might heraldically be described thus: Party per pale Or and azure, Or a fess gules, thereover a chess-rook argent, azure a fess argent, thereover a rose with button Or and sepals vert.

The charge described above as a “chess-rook” – even though it looks nothing like the rooks seen on a chessboard [http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossc.htm] – is called a "Doppelspringer" in German, and presumably the sense of “knight” is to be understood. This charge recalls the Neustätter family. The red fess (horizontal bar) on the golden field refers to the Counts of Truhendingen. The rose is from the arms borne by the Lords of Aufseß. The tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) refer to the Giech and Förtsch families, who were ministeriales to the Counts of Andechs-Merania.
