At the end of the 13th century, the Rüdt von Collenberg family received rule of the village. In 1286 the abbot of Amorbach, Wipert Rüdt, allowed a castle to be built. From the 16th to the 19th century, the community and the manor were in dispute over the assessment of compulsory labor and the rights to use the forest, which was settled in 1812. In front of the castle the Rüdt had a castle built at the beginning of the 18th century, which still exists today and is the seat of the family.

The synagogue was damaged during the November pogrom in 1938 , and a gendarme from Waldhausen smashed the windows and the prayer desks. Since the church was in the process of disintegration, the Torah scrolls were no longer there. The last six Jewish residents were deported to Gurs on October 22, 1940 . Only one of them survived.

Culture and sights
Cultural monuments
Corridor chapel Bödigheim
The “Flurkapelle Bödigheim”, a transparent-looking wooden building with a nine-meter-high tower, stands on a hill southwest of Bödigheim. On the initiative of a pastor and through the contact of an architect from Buchen to the Illinois Institute of Technology , the project was realized in 2009 under Professor Frank Flury in a holistic, practice-related and educationally sensible process. The corridor chapel is intended to be a “cross-denominational space for people who are in search of God and are looking for a quiet place, but also for hikers who want to relax”. In 2010 the chapel received the “Honor Award for Distinguished Building”, the highest award from the American Association of Architects.
