 Within the walls, however, was still a fair deal of free land which could have been used for expansion.Natzungen's first documentary mention goes back to the year 1036, when Bishop Bruno of Würzburg donated the Sunrike ( between Borgentreich and Eissen ) estate to the Würzburg Church and two "Hufe" of land to his Ministerialis Richbold and his wife Richeze; this land was in "Natesingen".Until the 15th century, Natzungen was two communities, called Obernatzungen and Niedernatzungen ("Upper" and "Lower" respectively).
