    Krögelstein was settled as early as 800 BC, as evidenced by the burial mounds in brown wood. In 1149 it was first mentioned as Crogelstein. From 1149-1239 the noble lords of Krögelstein ruled, probably whale pots. Bishop Heinrich von Bamberg gave the Veste Krögelstein and goods to a Dietz von Giech in 1500.

In 1810 the village became Bavarian.
