history

Erl was first mentioned in a document in 1257. In 1270 Gerhard von Rennenberg donated his property in Erl to the monastery of St. Katharinen , which he founded at the beginning of the 13th century , which was known as "eyn precious hoiff". This farm ("Erler Hof") comprised 84 acres of arable land, meadows and hedges. In 1565, another farm with 26 acres of land was built in Erl, later known as the “Schwarz-” or “Henkeshof”. In 1674 the Erler Hof served as pledge for a loan taken out by the monastery, which amounted to 200 Reichstaler . In 1803 the property of the farm had increased to 140 acres and, in addition to a residential area, included several farm buildings, including stables and a bakery. After the Duchy of Nassau came into possession of the surrounding territory in 1806, the Erler Hof was auctioned off in 1807, but remained in family ownership.

From 1809 Erl belonged to the municipality of Ohlenberg, which was assigned to the mayor's office in Linz in 1816. At the census in 1843, Erl comprised nine residential and 31 farm buildings. In 1885 Niedererl (i.e. Untererl) had 42 inhabitants in eight residential buildings, Obererl 32 inhabitants in seven residential buildings. On January 1, 1976, Erl came as part of the community Ohlenberg to the newly formed local community Kasbach-Ohlenberg, whereby the Ohlenberg district remained. In the census on May 25, 1987, the Untererl part of the municipality had 24 and the Obererl part of the municipality 46 inhabitants.

Attractions

Antonius Chapel (2012)

The most important attraction of Erl is the Antonius Chapel located at the northeast exit of the town in Obererl. It goes back to a wayside shrine with a figure of St. Anthony of Padua , which was expanded to a small devotional chapel in 1733 and was built in its present form in 1923/24. The chapel has an entrance portal supported by two columns, a slate roof and a bell tower and has six arched windows. During the restoration of the chapel after the damage from the Second World War, a new statue of Anthony was installed, which was replaced again in 1967 by a large wooden statue, which in turn was replaced after a theft in 1998. From 2011 to 2012 the chapel was thoroughly repaired and renovated, including a new bell and an electric chime with a clock .

As a cultural monument under monument stands a half-timbered house in Untererl (sub-Erler-Straße 8) from the 17th or 18th century, partly massively built.
