history

The first reliable mention of the place name Ottlinchoven can be found in 1064 in the Vienna Pest Archive . Due to the name assignment, the settlement does not belong to the oldest settlement layer, but to an expansion stage in the Merovingian period . The earliest archaeological finds show that the history of the church goes back to the 8th century .

In the 12th century , the rulership of the Lords of Rötteln also extended to the wine village of Ötlingen. As a liege of the Bishop of Basel, Lütold III bequeathed. von Rötteln the provost of Basel all rights and possessions. In 1306 the margraves of Hachberg-Sausenberg took over the rule. However, the bishops of Basel remained the overlords . This ownership lasted until 1503, when the place came under the rule of the Margraves of Baden and from 1535 after their division to the Margraves of Baden-Durlach .

Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Baden ("Türkenlouis") temporarily led the battle of Friedlingen on October 14, 1702 from the Ötlinger parsonage , as the majority of the infantry had climbed the Tüllinger Berg via the village.

In 1809 Ötlingen came to the Baden district of Lörrach from the Oberamt Rötteln .

On December 1, 1971, Ötlingen was incorporated into the city of Weil am Rhein.

politics

Local council

town hall

An additional agreement to the incorporation contract of 1971 guaranteed Ötlingen its own local constitution and a local council that has numerous decision-making powers in the village. The seat of the council is the town hall of Ötling. The local council is formed from representatives of the Independent Voting Association (UWG) and the group Perspective on Dau (e) r . Helene Brombacher from the UWG has been the mayor since 2009.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Ötlingen belongs to the so-called speaking coats of arms and shows, due to the agricultural orientation of the place, a vine plant on a yellow background. A grapevine , each with a blue bunch of grapes on a green shield base, twines around a holding stick and two on the right, one leaf on the left.

The coat of arms goes back to the recommendation of the General State Archives in 1902. The leafed grape can be found in the seal of the village as early as around 1840.

Half-timbered house in Ötlingen

Large parts of the houses in the village center date from the 16th and 17th centuries . The entire townscape of Ötlingen is listed . The oldest house in town is the Kogerhaus, a half-timbered house from 1571. Other noteworthy houses are the Ottmarsheimer Hof from 1594 and the Gerwig house from 1716.

The Protestant St. Gallus Church is located in the lower part of the village center . The Gothic church was built around the year 800, as archaeological excavation finds show, and was first mentioned in a document in 1275. The rectangular hall church was expanded to the east and north in the 13th century . The bell tower and part of the north wall of the nave with frescoes from the late Middle Ages have been preserved from this construction period. The shape of the church goes back to the years 1410-1420, in which Margrave Rudolf III. von Hachberg-Sausenberg had extensive extensions carried out.

Next to the church is the parsonage from 1410 and behind the church is the tomb of the artist Hermann Daur, who died in Ötlingen in 1925 .

The four-kilometer-long Weinweg hamlet leads through the village and over the western slopes of the vineyard area on Tüllinger Berg . Along the way, panels provide information about the vines and the development of viticulture.

In the Gretherhaus, a half-timbered house with an adjoining forge from 1536, a small open-air museum , the Dorfstube Ötlingen, has been housed since 1990 . It shows a typical rural apartment from the 19th century . The museum is open seasonally on Sundays.
