Dekanat Bad Windsheim, Aug. 31, 2013: "Ickelheim" (Ickelheim; original construction date of its parish church, St. Georg, is unknown; for a long time Ickelheim was subject to the Catholic Order of the Teutonic Knights, specifically the Commandary of Virnsberg; because of this subjection and the immediate presence of the Order in the village, Ickelheim was unable (unlike Bad Windsheim and the surrounding villages) to become Lutheran in 1525, and in subsequent decades its allegiance was fiercely contested by the Protestant margraves and the Order's knights until the Peace of Westphalia in 1649, when the Order surrendered the religion of the village to the Lutherans)
