'''Stadelhofen''' is a municipality in the [[Upper Franconia]]n (German: ''Oberfranken'') district of [[Bamberg (district)|Bamberg]] and a member of the administrative community (''Verwaltungsgemeinschaft'') of [[Steinfeld, Bavaria|Steinfeld]].

{{Bambergdistrict-geo-stub}}

The community lies on the edge of the “[[Franconian Switzerland]]” on the [[Autobahn]] from [[Bamberg]] to [[Bayreuth]].

=== Constituent communities ===

Stadelhofen’s [[namesake]] centre is not the biggest of its ''Gemeindeteile'' with Steinfeld being more than twice its size. The community has these centres, each given here with its own population figure:<ref>Mitteilungsblatt der Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Steinfeld vom 23. Januar 2015</ref>

The community also has 5 traditional rural land units, known in [[German language|German]] as ''Gemarkungen'', named Hohenhäusling, Schederndorf, Stadelhofen, Steinfeld and Wölkendorf, four of which have the same names as four of the constituent communities (it is traditional for a ''Gemarkung'' to be named after a town or village lying nearby).

== History ==

The community had its first documentary mention in 1248. The placename Stadelhofen is believed to mean “at the farms furnished with a barn”. However, it could also have come from a corrupted personal name.

Stadelhofen lies at the spot where an old army road from [[Bamberg]] to [[Kulmbach]] once crossed the way from [[Weismain]] to [[Hollfeld]].

Even if Stadelhofen had its first documentary mention rather late, it is clear that the area was already settled by the year 630. On a map from 1595, the area around Stadelhofen bears the description ''Uf dem Gebürg''.

In 1386, the Counts of Truhendingen sold the place at a price of 2,000 [[Heller (money)|heller]] to the Bishop of Bamberg. Since the ''[[Reichsdeputationshauptschluss]]'' of 1803, before which the community had belonged to the High Monastery at Bamberg, Stadelhofen has belonged to [[Bavaria]]. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today’s community came into being under the ''Gemeindeedikt'' (“Community Edict”) of 1818. Since 1978, the community has consisted of the formerly autonomous communities of Stadelhofen, Wölkendorf, Schederndorf and Steinfeld.

Besides Stadelhofen there was also once in the area a now lost parish called Leuchnitz, which lay somewhere between Weismain and Steinfeld.

The [[Catholicism|Catholic]] parish church, consecrated to [[Saint Peter]] and [[Catherine of Alexandria|Saint Catherine]], comes from the 18th century. The tower with its pointed cupola is one of the area’s landmarks. The high altar was bought in 1721 from the people in [[Litzendorf]].

=== Population development ===

Within municipal limits, 1404 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 1291 in 1987 and 1274 in 2000. In 2004-2005 it was 1200.

== Politics ==

The mayor is Volker Will (Überparteiliche Wählergemeinschaft), elected in 2020.

=== Municipal council ===

{{update section|date=July 2021}}

At the 2002 [[Local election|municipal election]], the ''Überparteiliche Wählergemeinschaft'' voters’ group won 6 seats (49.7%), the [[Christian Social Union of Bavaria|CSU]] won 3 (26.6%) and the ''[[Freie Wähler]]'' won 3 (23.7%). Voter turnout was 90.1%.

In 1999, municipal tax revenue, converted to [[euro]]s, amounted to €382,000 of which business taxes (net) amounted to €37,000.

=== Coat of arms ===

Stadelhofen’s [[Coat of arms|arms]] might heraldically be described thus: Party per pale Or and azure, Or a fess gules, thereover a chess-rook argent, azure a fess argent, thereover a rose with button Or and sepals vert.

The [[Charge (heraldry)|charge]] described above as a “chess-rook” – even though it looks nothing like the rooks seen on a chessboard<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossc.htm |title=A Glossary Of Terms Used In Heraldry By James Parker |publisher=Heraldsnet.org |date= |accessdate=2015-12-17}}</ref> – is called a ''Doppelspringer'' in [[German language|German]], and presumably the sense of “[[knight (chess)|knight]]” is to be understood. This charge recalls the Neustätter family. The red fess (horizontal bar) on the golden field refers to the Counts of Truhendingen. The rose is from the arms borne by the Lords of Aufseß. The [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]]s gules and argent (red and silver) refer to the Giech and Förtsch families, who were [[Ministerialis|ministeriales]] to the Counts of [[Duchy of Merania|Andechs-Merania]].
