The Church of St. Gumbertus ( Ansbach ) is regarded as the founder of the place Weihenzell and was a significant landowner in the municipality. The place belonged to the Principality of Ansbach in 1792 acquired by Prussia, which was in the Frankish Empire Circle from 1500. As part of the principality he fell in the Treaty of Paris ( February 1806 ) by exchange of Bavaria.
