From 1643 the Ansbachische court in damp cheeks was responsible for Bechhofen. Thus the place was part of the 1792 acquired by Prussia Principality of Ansbach, which lay in the Frankish Empire Circle from 1500. As part of the Principality of Bechhofen fell in the Treaty of Paris ( February 1806 ) by exchange to the Kingdom of Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform emerged with the community of 1818, the current community. The Jewish population is said to have identified nearly two-thirds of the total population of the village in the years 1700-1860. The synagogue, called a barn synagogue with a rich decoration of the 18th century by Eliezer Sussmann, was destroyed in 1938. The Jewish population emigrated or were deported and killed during the Third Reich.
