Häslabronn has picturesque half-timbered houses. The place was first mentioned in 1318 as "Heselinenbrunnen". The place name is derived from the field name of the same name, whose determinant hazelnut shrubs and whose basic word denotes a source. In 1398 the Lords of Seckendorff received Häslabronn and Kurzendorf as a fief from the Burgraves of Nuremberg. The places were later sold to Martin von Wildenstein. The family of Wildenstein sold them to the principality of Ansbach in 1507. According to the 16-point report of the Oberamt Ansbach from 1684, Häslabronn formed a real community with Kurzendorf. Seven teams were recorded for Häslabronn: The six semi-farms and the estate had the Ansbach court office as landlord. There was also a parish shepherd's house. The Brandenburg-Ansbach court caste office in Ansbach exercised the supreme court and ruled over the village and community. Towards the end of the 18th century, Häslabronn and Kurzendorf formed a real municipality. In Häslabronn there were still seven estates (5 half-yards, 1 half-gut, 1 handrossgütl). The court caste office in Ansbach exercised the supreme court, the village and community rule and the manorial rule over all properties. In addition to the property, there was also the branch church and communal buildings (shepherd's house, crushing house). From 1797 to 1808 the town was under the Ansbach Justice and Chamber Office. As part of the community edict, Häslabronn was assigned to the tax district of Colmberg, formed in 1808, and to the rural community of Colmberg, formed in 1810.
The pilgrimage church of St. James, probably originally part of a fortified church, was on the pilgrimage route from Kraków - Nuremberg - Rothenburg ob der Tauber and on to Santiago de Compostela and was well visited until the Reformation in 1528. Since the introduction of the Way of St. James Nuremberg - Heilsbronn - Rothenburg (the Franconian Camino) in 1992, the number of visitors has increased again. (Source Wikipedia)

FYI: You can get the key to the church from the Rühl family in the courtyard across the street.
