Geography
Location
Strullendorf lies in a valley and is partly surrounded by the Hauptsmoorwald (forest), near which lies the Hauptsmoorhalle (a concert venue). The Hauptsmoorwald stretches all the way to Bamberg and parts of it are used by the US Army stationed there as a training area.
A particularly pleasant place in Strullendorf is the Lindenallee, with its huge old trees.

The Nuremberg patrician family Tockler owned the Tocklerhof in Strullendorf until the 16th century. This, and the Zeidelhuben, used for forest beekeeping and already named by 1348, were of great economic importance for the community. Strullendorf belonged to the High Monastery at Bamberg. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the community has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today’s community came into being under the Gemeindeedikt (“Community Edict”) of 1818.
