Dollnstein is a municipality in the district of Eichstätt in Bavaria in Germany. The name Dollnstein has its origins in Middle High German "Tollunstein".

History

Dollnstein was first mentioned in 1007 as a tiny village named Tollenstein. The castle of Dollnstein was built probably in the mid of the 12th century from the counts von Hirschberg.

Since the 13th century the village was a market for the exchange of goods. From 1440 onwards the village was related to Eichstätt and an administration and judicial authority was located in Dollnstein. {{cite book|last = von Reitzenstein|first = Alexander|author2= Brunner, Herbert |title = Reclams Kunstführer, Band 1|publisher=Philip Reclam jun.|year = 1974|location = Stuttgart, Germany|page = 240|isbn = 978-315-008055-9}}
