Dachsbach is a market town and municipality in the district of Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim, in the administrative region of Middle Franconia in northern Bavaria in Germany.

In 1132 there was a witness with name Knight Albrecht von Dachsbach for the foundation of the monastery Heilsbronn.

On April 14, 1280 the castle was pledged to the burgraves of Nuremberg, who made an official residence of it and built up Dachsbach as a bastion against the Cathedral Foundation Bamberg.

In the Thirty Years' War (August 10, 1634) troops from Forchheim destroyed Dachsbach nearly complete.

In August 1798 he interrogated a custodian and initiated the smashing of the "Big Franconian Thieves and Robber Gang".

Since then Dachsbach passed a contemplative existence and can document its partly outstanding regional importance only with its cultural monuments.
