Reckendorf lies in the Upper Franconia-Northwest region.
Reckendorf’s main and namesake centre is by far the biggest of its Gemeindeteile with a population of 1,952. The community furthermore has these outlying centres, each given here with its own population figure:
The community also has four traditional rural land units, known in German as Gemarkungen, named Laimbach, Reckendorf, Daschendorfer Forst and Lußberger Forst, two of which have the same names as two of the constituent communities (it is traditional for a Gemarkung to be named after a town or village lying nearby). The other two are woodlands.
The Lords of Schöfstall were from 1349 until the time when they died out in 1544 the local landowners and the local castle’s keepers. The later knightly estate belonging to the Barons of Wiesenthau passed with Bavaria’s mediatization at the time of the border adjustments in 1810 to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, ruled by Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, with which it eventually passed back to Bavaria in 1814. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today’s community came into being under the Gemeindeedikt (“Community Edict”) of 1818.
Within municipal limits, 1,526 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 1,546 in 1987 and 1,800 in 2000. Currently it is 2,036.
