Adelsdorf is a market town in Bavaria’s Erlangen-Höchstadt district, located in the Aisch Valley, a region known for its ponds, rural landscapes, and long history of settlement. The town was first documented in 1121 and grew around the estates of local noble families, particularly the Lords of Schlüsselberg, who played an important role in the area's medieval development. Over the centuries, Adelsdorf became known for its historic castles and manor houses, including Schloss Adelsdorf and the nearby moated castle of Neuhaus. Today, the municipality includes several villages and combines its historical heritage with modern residential and commercial development. Visitors are attracted by its Franconian charm, historic buildings, churches, and scenic pond landscapes. Adelsdorf also serves as a gateway to the Aischgrund region, which is famous for traditional carp farming and outdoor recreation.
