Gemmingensches Amtshaus (Aries)
The Gemmingen administrative building is a former administrative building of the barons of Gemmingen in Widdern in the Heilbronn district .
history
The building was built in 1584, just ten years after the construction of the neighboring Gemmingen Castle . The barons of Gemmingen owned Ganerbe shares in Aries since the 15th century . The Bürg-Presteneck line of the barons of Gemmingen, who owned the property in Widdern, died out in the male line in 1841, and their property fell to Sigmund von Gemmingen-Hornberg zu Treschklingen and his sons. The heirs soon sold the property in Aries. In 1846 the municipality bought the office building and furnished it as a teacher's apartment. The schoolmaster Ludwig Jehle , who headed the elementary school in Widdern from 1939 to 1947, is one of the well-known residents .
