Nordendorf, located on the federal highway 2 and the railway line Augsburg - Donauwörth, and Blankenburg, which is stretching southwest up the Schmutterleite, form the current community since 1975.

The name Nordendorf is of Franconian origin; evidence of an Alamanni forerunner settlement from around the middle of the 6th century came in 1844 when a row of 433 graves was uncovered on the occasion of the construction of the Augsburg-Donauwörth railway line, making the site one of the most important sites of the early Middle Ages in the Swabian-Bavarian region.

The most important archaeological finds are the hanger brooches of Nordendorf, two clasps with runic inscriptions engraved on the back.
