Bishop Otto of Bamberg originally called the village "Gunzo's Village" in a writing in 1109.[2] The village castle passed to the bishop of Würzburg.[2] This castle was burned down in a peasant uprising in 1525, but was rebuilt.[2] In 1913 the castle was renovated from the foundations up, and now houses the village kindergarten.[2]
A notable resident was Gallus Dennerlein (1742-1820), who joined the Banz Abbey and helped to develop it into a spiritual and scholarly center, until its dissolution in 1803.[2]
