Geography

The Deichselbach stream flows through the village, and west of the village, the Schußbach stream flows into the Deichselbach.

History

Dreuschendorf was first mentioned in the year 1116; it was at that time named Druskendorf (or "village of the companions").

In 1492, it was completely destroyed during a feud between Bamberg's Prince-Bishop and a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire from Buttenheim. During the Thirty Years' War, Dreuschendorf was again destroyed.[3]

In earlier times, the village was an important place for pilgrims traveling through the Franconian Jura to Ebermannstadt or Gößweinstein.

Church

In 1727, a small chapel was built at the southern edge of the village; this was removed in 1923. In its place, a new chapel was built in the village center. The consecration of the church, named St. Anna, took place on September 28, 1924.[3] On October 30, a new organ, built by the Volkmar Krätzer company, was added.

On the occasion of its 75th anniversary in 1999, the chapel was renovated.

Culture

North of Dreuschendorf is a community house, which lies opposite a football field with a playground.

There is a brewery in the village named the "Brauerei Meusel."
