In a document from November 1st 1007 Wellerstadt is mentioned for the first time verifiably The royal couple Heinrich and Kunigunde make the plan to establish a diocese with Bamberg at its centre During the imperial synod in Frankfurt in 1007 the bishops approve the plan Heinrich transfers his royal court Forchheim together with 14 villages including Wellerstadt to the diocese As Waldrichesbach Wellerstadt is not only presumably earlier mentioned in documents than Baiersdorf but is in fact older than Baiersdorf A once presumably Thuringian settlement at the river Regnitz has by now become the district of the small Franconian town of Baiersdorf Founded at a ford destroyed during the Thirty Years War rebuild often flooded by the Regnitz pushed back and forth between the diocese and the margraviate Waldrichesbach has turned into Wellerstadt an endearing small village in Middle Franconia
