The village of Prüßberg only appears relatively late in the sources. It was not until 1298 that a “monte dicto Brusteberg” (Latin: mountain, called Brusteberg) was mentioned. The name probably goes back to a vineyard and refers to medieval viticulture on the slopes of the Steigerwald. The village probably received a small branch chapel in the 16th century, which was decorated with an altar from the Riemenschneider environment.
In the 19th century, a rich forester's wife had a contemporary altar made; the carpenter was allowed to remove the old altar and take it with him. His whereabouts are unclear. The church itself later suffered the same fate as the altar. It was torn down and the Prüßbergers from then on had to attend church services in Dingolshausen, far away. It was not until 1870 that residents were allowed to bury their dead in nearby Michelau. In 1976 the village received a new church.
Since the 19th century, Prüßberg has been an independent municipality in the Kingdom of Bavaria; after its dissolution it remained part of the Gerolzhofen district.
