history

middle Ages

The village was first mentioned as Elpershaim in 1219/20 . This designation probably comes from a personal name. A local nobility (Hohenlohe feudal people), who probably belong to the oldest class of settlement, is temporarily documented between 1223 and 1367. Ulrich von Wahrberg (near Herrieden, Middle Franconia) sold the town of Elpersheim in 1260 with all rights to Jutta von Schillingsfürst-Röttingen. Schenk gave Walter von Limpurg his approval for this purchase. In 1262 Jutta von Schillingsfürst-Röttingen handed over all of her property to Elpersheim, the Premonstratensian monastery Schäftersheim . Through the Reformation, these goods came to the patron of the monastery, the Hohenlohe. These had already owned before (1219/20) and owned leasable goods in Elpersheim in 1251/71. A quarter of the Vogtei, which Konrad von Weinsberg pledged to Count Palatine Otto in 1423, probably came from the inheritance of his first wife Anna von Hohenlohe-Brauneck. This quarter fell back to Hohenlohe. The rest of the manor was probably owned by Neumünster Abbey in Würzburg.

Modern times

The village was once fortified with ramparts and moats and had two gates that were demolished in the 19th century. In 1582 a major fire destroyed over 20 residential buildings, dozen of barns and some wine presses. Plague years with almost 300 deaths there were in the years 1584 and 1626. Elpersheim belonged to Hohenlohe Office and to tenth Weikersheim. In 1806 the place came to Württemberg. Since 1809 Elpersheim belonged to the Mergentheim Oberamt and from 1938 to the Mergentheim district, which in 1973 became part of the Main-Tauber district.

As part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg on March 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Elpersheim was incorporated into the city of Weikersheim.

Ortswall

Elpersheim was once surrounded by a town wall. A total of three gates led into the village: The lower gate at the Tauberbrücke, the Mühltor at the Mühlgasse and the upper gate towards Pfitzingen . The last gate was demolished in 1820, and parts of the former moat are still preserved today.
