history
middle Ages
The name of the place means court of Argo . In 807 Archshofen was first mentioned as Autgausisoua in a certificate from Charlemagne . In it, an exchange of goods was recorded in writing and sealed by Charlemagne in his palace in Ingelheim . Bishop Eigilwald of Würzburg ceded territories to Count Audulf (Freudenbach, Archshofen and Waldmannshofen). In return, this gave the then "Church of Sciffa" (today Schüpf near Bad Mergentheim ) and the "Güter zu Odinga" (today Üttingshof, community near Althausen , Bad Mergentheim). In 1341 the residents founded their own parish. Over the centuries the place belonged to different lords, u. a. the Teutonic Order . During the time of the order the village belonged to the Deutschordensballei Franken .
Modern times
In 1806 Archshofen was first annexed to Bavaria , then in 1810 to Württemberg .
- The time after the First World War until today
After the First World War , construction work also proceeded in the municipality of Archshofen, after Archshofen had already been connected to the power grid before the war . In 1933 the first land consolidation was completed. At that time there were still a great many small farms in Archshofen. In 1939 there were 62, 44 of them kept cows as draft animals, 18 farms worked with horses. Today there are still 9 farmers who tend their farms for the most part as a sideline.
The first aqueduct was built in the 1920s. The costs of creating the local network at that time amounted to RM 29,483.48 . The municipality had to repay 25 years in annual installments of RM 2085.03.
After the renovation in 1937, the town hall could be returned to its intended use. It served to the education reform in 1974 as a primary school . Today it is still the center of the village and is used, among other things, as a singing bar by the choral societies. The Second World War also left its mark on Archshofen. The arch bridge that connects Archshofen to the left and right of the Tauber was blown up on April 13, 1945. Today's bridge - built using prestressed concrete - was inaugurated in 1952.
In 1946 there was a great ice drift in the Tauber. The ice floes were still lying on the meadows to the right and left of the Tauber until late spring.
The quarry at the top of the Riegelbach valley cut between Finsterlohr and Archshofen was put into operation in 1952. He was a first and good source of income for many locals. As a sideline for the many small farms, it was a welcome job. The first hourly wage was DM 0.50. After the quarry was closed in 1960, it became a rubble site for Archshofen and the surrounding areas. In the course of land consolidation, it could be made usable again for agriculture.
The Riegelbach used to run in the open stream bed next to the road from Finsterlohr down through the district to the left of the Tauber. By 1960 he was in the local area verdolt ; as a result, the road in the direction of Finsterlohr to the Oberland and the fields there could be improved significantly.
Due to the partially still existing vineyards, the local connection route to Schön was rebuilt in 1961/1962 . A driveway to the vineyards could be created parallel to Taubertalstrasse, halfway up. The so-called Sonnenweg leads to the Bavarian border and is still a popular route for sun-hungry walkers.
At the end of the 1980s, the route was expanded on the Bavarian side and now leads to Rothenburg ob der Tauber on the summer side . Around 1880, 25.5 hectares of vines were grown in Archshofen. today there are still about half a hectare that is developed by the winegrowers themselves.
To the left of the Tauber , the Taubertal cycle path, which was expanded in 1975, leads through the lovely Taubertal from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Wertheim .
The drinking water supply was always very scarce in dry summers. In 1968/1969 two new elevated tanks and a pumping station with a total capacity of 360 m³ were built. At the same time, a new spring was taken above the village. This made it possible to sustainably improve the water supply.
A major improvement for the many commuters to Creglingen was the expansion of the Romantic Road between Archshofen and Creglingen in 1979.
During the municipal reform on February 1, 1972, 13 independent municipalities, including Archshofen, united to form the new town of Creglingen. The city of Creglingen today has a total area of 118 km² and approx. 5000 inhabitants, who are distributed over 34 different residential areas. Shortly after the war, many displaced people lived in Archshofen, but they emigrated again in later years. the entire city administration was brought together in Creglingen. A city council and six local councils with local councilors now represent the interests of the Archshofen community after the community merger.
The cemetery on the road to Schön, which had become too small, was expanded in 1977, and because of its hillside location, it was terraced on three levels; thanks to its many trees planted, it fits well into the landscape.
In 1983 the sewer system started building the pumping station. It pumps all of the wastewater to the collective sewage treatment plant in Creglingen. When the sewer was built, the entire water supply network was also renewed, and the streets were also rebuilt. Very high financial sacrifices were demanded of the citizens.
The Lindenplatz could be redesigned and is still the center of the village after the official opening in May 1990. Many trees have been planted around Lindenplatz and along the local streets. In addition to the very successful village renovation, the second land consolidation also began in 1984. As part of this land consolidation, a soccer field for the youth could be created below the pumping station. The measure was completed in autumn 1990.
In 1992 the town hall was rebuilt. Afterwards, it was again used by local associations as a practice and meeting room. The Holdermühle also belongs to Archshofen . It was first mentioned in a document in 1424 and has been owned by the Endress family since 1844. The mill is still in operation today. The farm buildings are exactly on the border between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Ecclesiastically, the Holdermühle belongs to Finsterlohr.
On February 1, 1972 Archshofen was incorporated into the town of Creglingen.
The Tauber showed its less beautiful side in 1970 (on February 9th) and 1988 (on March 16th). Lindenplatz was flooded every time there was a flood. The cellars of the residents were all under water. In February 1990 the storms also caused considerable damage in Archshofen. In addition to building damage, there were around 1250 solid cubic meters of storm wood in private forests and around 600 solid cubic meters of storm wood in the community forest.

The last five Jewish residents of Archshofen were deported to the Riga-Kaiserwald and Theresienstadt concentration camps in 1941 and 1942 .
The synagogue in Archshofen was used from 1952 as an equipment room for the fire brigade and as a classroom for the lower class. Since 1985, after renewed renovation, the synagogue has been owned by the small animal breeding association and is used as an exhibition room and clubhouse. A memorial plaque next to the entrance door indicates the Jewish past.
