history

The place Odenheim was of central importance in the Frankish settlement period, as various sub-settlements were built around it, each about three kilometers apart. The most important of these sub-settlements was Atzelberg . The name of the settlement is not documented, but is derived from the old name of today's Hatzelberg . The main courtyard of the settlement was probably the Volcger's court named in a document from the Lorsch monastery in 776, which the latter had given to the monastery and which the monastery exchanged in 815 for a Helmgoz for property in Odenheim. On both sides of this courtyard were the upper and lower villages from other courtyards. The lower village was in today's Zeuterner district in the Gewann bei den 9 Brunnen , the main courtyard and the upper village in today's Odenheim district in the Gewann Auf der Mauer . From the number and location of the documented old mills around Odenheim, we conclude that there must have been a mill in Atzelberg once, namely where the weir of the forest mill was later . The landlord Helmgoz, mentioned in 815, had a stone church built near his house around 840.

Atzelberg probably fell victim to the Hungarian invasions in 954. No traces of the residential buildings have survived , but stone rubble from the church in Gewann Mauerwiesen formed a stony wasteland between meadows and fields for centuries. In 1725, a single estate was mentioned in the Gewann Auf der Mauer . The settlement area was cut through by the railway systems when the branch line was built.

Atzelberg also included two small sub-settlements, namely Feilschbach in the rear Feilschbachtal on the site of the later Hollerbauer-Hofgut, and Salzweiler in the rear Silz and in the Hanfland , where another Hofgut is mentioned in 1725.
