Kleinsendelbach is a municipality in the district of Forchheim in Bavaria in Germany. It is located about 17 Kilometers south of the town of Forchheim and 15 Kilometers to the east of the city of Erlangen, and is part of the administration community Dormitz.
Kleinsendelbach was first mentioned in 1062. It was part of the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg and therefore from 1500 onward part of the Franconian Circle during the Holy Roman Empire. After 1803 the village was ceded to Bavaria where it was declared a municipality in 1818. Despite its comparably small size as a municipality, Kleinsendelbach's independence was untouched by the territorial reforms of 1972 and 1978 though it has joined the administrative community Dormitz along with two neighboring municipalities.[3]
Politics
The presiding mayor is Gertrud Werner since 2008 along with the second mayor Josef Elsinger. The regional council consists of 12 members and the mayor, none of which are part of a major party.[4]
Coat of arms
