Ehringen is a church village and part of the Wallerstein market in the Donau-Ries district in Bavaria .
history
The first documented mention of Ehringen dates back to 1140 in connection with the knight family of the Lords of Ehringen, who were then resident in the village and who later became inheritance gifts from the Counts of Oettingen . At the end of the 13th century they moved to Stein Castle near Bopfingen, after which they were later called "Schenken von Schenkenstein".
Around 1300 the Kirchheim monastery acquired the largest property in the village including the village rulers through three acquisitions. Other landlords at the site were u. a. the Kaisheim monastery , scholarship holder care and Nördlingen hospital as well as the Heilsbronn monastery (or after its dissolution the Margraves of Ansbach ).
With the secularization in 1803 the parish properties and the village rule over Ehringen fell to the princes of Oettingen-Wallerstein. Ehringen has belonged to Bavaria since the Principality of Oettingen-Wallerstein was mediatized in 1806 .
On January 1, 1972 Ehringen was incorporated into Wallerstein . The formerly independent municipality of Ehringen had a coat of arms. In 1988 Ehringen had 375 inhabitants.
Ehringen was originally part of the parish association with Nördlingen. After the introduction of the Reformation, Ehringen became a branch of Benzenzimmern in 1566 . In 1822 the Protestant parish Ehringen-Wallerstein, which still exists today, was founded.
