The community association Überlandwerk Hohenlohe-Öhringen was an electricity company that was founded on January 24, 1910 by 29 communities from the Oberamts district Öhringen and 13 communities from the Oberamts district Neckarsulm .

Since a longer approval process was expected for the construction of its own hydropower plant in Ohrnberg am Kocher , the association concluded a supply contract with Enzgauwerke in order to be able to start supplying electricity quickly. In the end, however, the deliveries did not take place because the overland line to be built for this purpose was supposed to run through the supply area of ​​the Beihingen-Pleidelsheim electricity plant (later Kraftwerk Altwürttemberg AG (KAWAG) ), which prevented this. In Bitzfeld , the Enzgauwerk then set up a 200 HP locomobile with a connected generator, which was shortly afterwards reinforced by two 180 HP systems. This made it possible to supply the first 20 localities with electricity in November 1911.

On April 1, 1912, the community association took over the Öhringen electricity works, founded in 1896, and expanded its diesel center in the same year and again two years later with three diesel units of 140 kW, 280 kW and 600 kW. Despite these expansions, a power supply contract for 300 kW had to be concluded with the Beihingen-Pleidelsheim electricity company in early 1913.

The community association set up the regional power supply networks with a large number of small “ electricity houses ” in the supply area as well as the hydropower plant in Ohrnberg, for which purpose a mill property in Sindringen had to be acquired in order to obtain water rights .

The Überlandwerk founded the Großkraftwerk Württemberg AG together with KAWAG on November 4, 1921 , which in turn later became part of the Schwaben Energy Supply (EVS).

The overland plant was also later taken over by EVS, and today the supply area is part of the Neckar-Franconia regional center within Energie Baden-Württemberg .
