history

Parishes and parishes

The evangelical tradition in all parishes goes back to the Reformation.

The Oettingen house

The counties of Oettingen

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, Spielberg and Wallerstein . In 1493 the Spielberg third was divided 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, which are now in the Oettingen deanery: 1528 Auhausen, 1539 Dornstadt, around 1540 Heuberg, 1539 Holzkirchen, 1550 Munningen (Oettingen-Oettinger half), 1540 (until 1549) and 1598 Schopflohe. The Reformation was introduced in Oettingen in 1539. After several changes, a Catholic parish was established in 1563 and St. Jakob was finally evangelical-Lutheran.

Ehingen am Ries

Ehingen am Ries was disputed between Oettingen-Oettingen and Oettingen-Wallerstein and the Eichstätt monastery . Due to an imperial judgment of April 6, 1563, half of Ehingen am Ries went to Oettingen-Oettingen and became Protestant. The parishes were separated. The church is still a simultaneous church today .

Auhausen Monastery

The Margraviate of Ansbach had sovereignty for the village and the Benedictine monastery of Auhausen . The monastery was dissolved during the Reformation. In 1532 the last abbot Georg Götz became the first Protestant pastor. In 1791 Auhausen fell to Prussia . In 1608 the Protestant Union was formed in Auhausen . In 1797 Auhausen came to Oettingen-Spielberg by swapping territory. Lehmingen also belonged to the Auhausen monastery. The former monk of the Auhausen Monastery, Wolfgang Braun, became the first Protestant pastor in Lehmingen in 1533. The Auhausen monastery was a liege lord for the Steinhart community. The Reformation probably took place here in 1528.

Monastery rooms

For Klosterzimmern also Dürrenzimmern belonged as a branch of Pfäfflingen . With the Reformation and the dissolution of the monastery in 1558 by the Counts of Oettingen, Dürrenzimmern also found the Reformation.

Wechingen

The Upper Parish of St. Veit in Wechingen had belonged to the Heidenheim Monastery since 1324 , which was dissolved by Margrave Georg the Pious in 1537 during the Reformation . From 1541 the Upper Parish of St. Veit was occupied by Protestants. The lower parish of St. Moritz belonged to the Zimmer monastery since 1279 . With the dissolution of the Zimmer monastery, both Wechingen parishes became patronage churches of Oettingen-Oettingen. The Upper Parish has been the branch of the Lower Parish since 1807. St. Leonhard in Schwörsheim was a branch of Hainsfarth until 1567 that remained Catholic. The Simultaneum was introduced in Schwörsheim in 1567 and existed until 1872. In 1955 a Catholic church was built and St. Leonhard became the property of the Protestant parish.

Exiles

In 1732 Salzburg exiles came to the county, but did not settle in large numbers.

Dean's office

1563 Superintendentures were set up as supervisory authorities in the Protestant parts of the county of Oettingen. On December 7, 1810, the Bavarian dean's office in Oettingen was established from the previous superintendent of Oettingen.
