    Romantic Middle Franconian place with lots of green and some half-timbered buildings.

      During the era of the tribal duchies, Emskirchen was in the Duchy of Franconia. The former Königshube had already separated from the Königshof Riedfeld before 800.[5] The place was first mentioned in 1132/47 as "Empichiskirchen". The determinant of the place name is the personal name Empichi, who was the founder of a church built there. Ekehardus de Ritfelt testifies that it was mentioned in a document in 1156 as "Enspenkirch(en)" when Bishop Gebhardt of Würzburg transferred the goods of the parish of Emskirchen to the monastery of Münchaurach. It was first called "Emskirchen" in 1158.[6][7] In the 13th century a certain Hartung was the bailiff of the church in Emskirchen. Hartung, who worked under the vicedominate of Gutend von Seckendorff as advocate-vogt in Riedfeld and Neustadt an der Aisch, gave the church his tithe in Mettelaurach in 1300.[8]

      When the Pope's special envoy (legatus a latere), the cardinal deacon John of San Angelo, was in Neustadt ("in Nova Civitate Herbipolensis dioeceseos"), he issued a letter of indulgence for the church of Emskirchen on November 2 or 3, 1448. [9]

      Friedrich Wildner, who accepted the new church order in 1529, was probably Emskirchen's first evangelical pastor.[10]

      Emskirchen benefited from its location on the Nuremberg–Frankfurt trade route. In 1623 a post office was built in Emskirchen on the Nuremberg–Frankfurt mail coach connection. After the Thirty Years' War, in which Emskirchen was subjected to severe looting, particularly on December 1 and 2, 1631,[11] around 160 Protestant expellees from Austria settled in the depopulated town, and they made a significant contribution to the reconstruction in their new home. [12] Later, Emskirchen also became the settlement of many Huguenots, who built today's cemetery church.

        In Emskirchen you can fill up your supplies if necessary (supermarket with bakery, discounter). There is also an ice cream parlour, restaurant and bike shop.
