Die Burgmannshofer Hofgeschichten stellen eine Chronik der alten bäuerlichen Hofstellen in Burgmannshofen über die letzten Jahrhunderte bis in die Nachkriegszeit dar. Für jede Hofstelle fügen sich vergangene Eigentums- und Besitzverhältnisse, sachliche Beschreibungen, Lebensdaten der Bewohner, Aufzeichnungen der hiesigen Pfarrer sowie Erzählungen der ältesten Dorfbewohner zu einer umfassenden chronologischen Hofgeschichte zusammen.
