Parishes and parishes

The Protestant traditions in all parishes, with the exception of the Diaspora parish of Rain, founded in 1925 , go back to the Reformation.

The Oettingen house

Since around 1140, a noble family has named itself after the previously insignificant village of Oettingen am Riesrand. In the same decade, they already had the title of count . For centuries, the Oettingen family was able to acquire almost closed territory in the Ries area until the transition to Bavaria in 1806. Inheritance divisions and territories were merged again and again. In 1410 there was a very extensive division of the entire county into the lines Oettingen and Spielberg and Wallerstein . In 1493 the Spielberg third was split up and the two lines Oettingen-Oettingen and Oettingen-Wallerstein finally established. Oettingen-Oettingen essentially dominated the eastern Ries and the northern and southern Ries margins. After the death of Wolfgang I. there was a division between the sons Karl Wolfgang and Ludwig XV. instead of. Both turned to the Reformation and secularized the monasteries in their territory. After long conflicts within the family, Protestant teaching was finally introduced in 1539. After the Peace of Augsburg , a regional church was built. In the county of Oettingen-Oettingen, the Reformation was introduced in the following places: 1530 Alerheim , 1555 Appetshofen , around 1540 Brachstadt (contested by Kaisheim Monastery, only completely evangelical in 1667), 1539/1563 Bühl im Ries , 1540 Ebermergen , 1524/1539 Harburg , 1524/1539 Heroldingen , 1539 Großsorheim , 1558 Kleinsorheim , 1539 Mauren , 1557 Mönchsdeggingen (monastery belongs to Oettingen-Wallerstein and remains in existence), 1555 Oppertshofen , 1558 Rudelstetten , 1540 Schaffhausen , 1557 Untermagerbein and 1610 Wörnitzostheim .

Imperial city of Donauwörth

In the imperial city of Schwäbisch-Wörth (today: Donauwörth) in 1544 a Protestant preacher was appointed for the first time with Wolfgang Müßlin gen. Musculus. At the end of the 16th century only the members of the Holy Cross Monastery were Catholic . From 1600 the mutual provocations between town and monastery increased. After the battle of the cross and the flag in 1606 and 1607, the imperial ban on the city was declared on August 3, 1607 . Whereupon the Bavarian Duke Maximilian I appeared in November of that year with an overpowering armed force and took the city permanently in pledge possession, which corresponded to an annexation. In disregard of the imperial freedom of the city and the Augsburg religious peace, the city was re-catholized by Jesuits . Only in 1860 was a Protestant congregation founded again.

Dean's office

The Oettingsche superintendent Harburg emerged in 1563 from the superintendent Ebermergen. During the Bavarian period on December 7, 1810, the superintendent's position was transferred to a deanery. At the same time, the superintendent of Mönchsdeggingen and Hohenaltheim were incorporated into the Harburg deanery. On August 6, 1826, the deanery was renamed Ebermergen. The dean's seat was moved from Ebermergen to Donauwörth in the 1970s and renamed accordingly.
