Towards the end of the 18th century there were 16 properties in Prünst. The high court was administered by the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Schwabach. The village and community was governed by the Kastenamt Schwabach. The landowners were the Kastenamt Schwabach (3 whole farms, 4 half farms, 4 Köblergüter, 1 estate with inn, 1 small estate with smithy), the Kastenamt Abenberg (1 three-quarter farm), the Amt St. Katharina of the Imperial City of Nuremberg (1 whole farm) and the Nuremberg owner Kreß von Kressenstein (1 whole farm). In addition to the properties there were also communal buildings (shepherd's house, shepherd's house).[10]
From 1797 to 1808 the town was under the jurisdiction of the Schwabach Justice and Chamber Office.[11] In 1802 there were 17 properties in the town.[12]
In 1806 Prünst came to the Kingdom of Bavaria. As part of the municipal edict, the Rohr tax district, Section II, was formed in 1808, to which Dechendorf, Gaulnhofen, Leuzdorf and Prünst belonged. In 1818, the rural municipality of Prünst was created, which was congruent with the tax district. It was assigned to the Schwabach regional court in terms of administration and jurisdiction, and to the Schwabach tax office in terms of finance (renamed Schwabach tax office in 1919). From 1862, Prünst belonged to the Schwabach district office (renamed Schwabach district in 1939). Jurisdiction remained with the Schwabach regional court (renamed Schwabach district court in 1879).[11] The municipality originally had an area of 14.939 km²[13] In 1960, an area of approximately 1 km² was ceded to the newly formed Volkersgau municipality, so that the area was reduced to 13.228 km².
