history

The first secured documentary mention of the place comes from the year 1254, when Pope Innocent IV confirmed the ownership rights of the monastery rooms in Dürrenzimmern. The Zimmer monastery acquired further property in the 13th and 14th centuries and thus became the strongest landlord in the village. Since the 14th century, the Counts of Oettingen have also been recorded as landlords, who were also able to gain control of the village over Dürrenzimmern. As a result of the secularization of the Zimmer monastery during the Reformation, the position of the Counts of Oettingen in the town was further strengthened and the town was administered by the Oberamt Alerheim .

The consequences of the Thirty Years' War were devastating for the place. Around 1636 only two houses were still inhabited, the others had burned or collapsed. It was not until 1708 that the last house destroyed in the Thirty Years War was rebuilt.

As a result of the mediatization of the Principality of Oettingen-Wallerstein, Dürrenzimmern came to Bavaria in 1806.

On May 1, 1978 Dürrenzimmern was incorporated in the course of the municipal reform and has been a district of Nördlingen ever since.
