      The first settlers appeared around the 6th/7th century AD in the broad Rezat and Zailach valleys and on the eastern hills, which offered them an ideal location.

      The place was first mentioned as "Lerenburen" in a document that was written between 1057 and 1075. The root word is Old High German bûr (house), the defining word lāre, leāre (empty, bar). This explains the poorly furnished dwellings.[6] In the years 1265, 1268, 1311, 1387 the place was mentioned as "Lerpur", in 1282, 1291, 1317, 1351, 1407 and around 1434 in the form "Lerbawr, Lerpaur", and only in 1465 as "Lerperg".[7]

      In 1059 the St. Margaret Church was built as a church and fortress for the inhabitants. The following centuries were marked by prosperity, which was based on the fact that the church with its numerous relics was a place of pilgrimage. The Thirty Years' War and the plague hit Lehrberg hard.

      In the 16-point report of the Ansbach district office from 1684, 82 teams were recorded for Lehrberg: 45 properties were under the jurisdiction of the Hofkastenamt Ansbach, 36 properties under the Hochstift Eichstätt and 1 property under the Rittergut Trautskirchen. The high court and the village and community authority was exercised by the Brandenburg-Ansbach Hofkastenamt Ansbach.[8]

      Towards the end of the 18th century, Lehrberg formed a real community consisting of 110 properties with Ziegelhütte, Fritz-, Kohl-, Pulver- and Seemühle. The high court exercised the Hofkastenamt Ansbach. The village and community authority was held jointly by the Eichstätt and Ansbach Vogtamt Lehrberg

        The view from the ruins is worth it. And so is the climb up there.
