Eberstal is a suburb of Ingelfingen in the Hohenlohe district in Baden-Württemberg . It is located in the valley of the Sindelbach , a tributary of the Jagst, has a municipal area of 5.97 km² and has 422 inhabitants. The locals also call the place Äberschdlich / Äberschtlich in Hohenlohisch .
history
Eberstal was first mentioned in a deed of donation around the year 1100; Mechthild von Stein donated goods to the Comburg monastery in Eberstal. In the 13th century, the place belonged to the Krautheim rule . The Gnadental Monastery and the nearby Schöntal Monastery owned the town; The latter apparently owned all the properties in the village from the second half of the 14th century. In 1365 Eberstal and Krautheim came to Mainz via the Counts of Eberstal .
In 1625/26 171 people died of the plague in Eberstal . From 330 inhabitants towards the end of the 17th century, the population decreased to 240 inhabitants in 1720 and 1775; the old status was not reached again until the beginning of the 19th century.
From 1802/03 the place briefly belonged to the Prince of Salm-Reifferscheidt-Bedburg , from whom Württemberg acquired the village in 1804 . In 1806 , Eberstal finally made the Rheinbund act a part of Württemberg. The place was assigned to the Oberamt Schöntal , after its dissolution on November 3, 1810, the Oberamt Ingelfingen , founded a year earlier , which was renamed the Oberamt Künzelsau (later the Künzelsau district ) in 1811 .
As part of the municipality reform in Baden-Württemberg at the beginning of the 1970s, Eberstal was to be assigned to the new municipality of Schöntal . At a citizens' hearing, however, the vast majority of citizens voted in favor of incorporation into Ingelfingen, which took place on September 1, 1973.
Religions
Eberstal belonged to the diocese of Würzburg . It was a subsidiary of the neighboring Marlach (today the municipality of Schöntal) and then in 1475 became a subsidiary of the neighboring Dörrenzimmern . In 1572 it became Lutheran with this. In 1602, the Würzburg bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn sent canons to Eberstal to recatholize the place. In 1604 Kurmainz forbade the Eberstalers to visit the (Lutheran) church in Dörrenzimmern; In 1604/05 Eberstal became a branch community of Sindeldorf , another neighboring town. In 1618 all Eberstaler were Catholic again. With Sindeldorf, Eberstal came to the diocese of Rottenburg through the Vicariate General Ellwangen in 1821/28 . In 1833 Eberstal received its own parish with the neighboring towns of Diebach and Dörrenzimmern and Stachenhausen, which belongs to Dörrenzimmern, as subsidiary communities. In 1925, 99.4% of the population were Catholics, in 1950 it was still 98.4%. Even today, the majority of the population is Catholic. The Protestant residents belong to the parish Dörrenzimmern.
The oldest church in Eberstal probably dates from 1604/05 and was dedicated to Saint Leonhard . Before 1738 the patronage changed to Saint Rochus , the patron saint of the plague sufferers, perhaps due to the severe population loss in the early 18th century. Instead of the Leonhard chapel, a parish church of St. Rochus was built in 1827/28 and again in 1923/28.
Culture and sights
The Catholic parish church of St. Roch dates from 1923/28, the rectory from 1831 (rebuilt in 1923). There is a hollow oak tree on Hohen Strasse near Diebach.
Eberstal has various associations, including a brass band, a men's choir, a women's association and a volunteer fire brigade .
