Topographic Description (1752)
[edit]

"Zoggendorf, a small village with 16 households, is located on the Leinleiter between Burggrub and Heiligenstadt. In this village, Baron von Stauffenberg of Burggrub holds various rights including village and community authority, tithe, hunting, and water rights, while the high court authority is held by the Hochstift (Prince-Bishopric) administered by the Office of Ebermannstadt."

The description also notes that:

  • Two residents were subject to the Hochstift at the Ebermannstadt treasury office.
  • Four residents belonged to the Princely House of Brandenburg-Culmbach, at the Office of Streitberg.
  • Two residents were under the authority of the Count von Giech at Schloss Wiesentfels.
  • Eight residents were under Baron von Stauffenberg at Schloss Burggrub, which was part of the Ritterkanton Gebürg.
  • The community had fishing rights, adhered to the Evangelical religion, and was part of the parish of Heiligenstadt. Historically, Zoggendorf belonged to the von Streitberg family until their extinction, which led to its division.
