history
The first settlement of today's municipality was probably before the turn of the century by the Celts ; this is indicated by a Keltenschanze in the district of Richtstetten. The Limes runs past Hardheim just a few kilometers west. This shows that Hardheim must have been just outside the borders of the Roman Empire . After the Romans withdrew from the building land , it was the Alemanni who settled this area, later the Franks .
Hardheim is called "Hartheim" around 1100, from Hart, Weidewald. The alleged first mention of Hardheim in 996 in a certificate from Emperor Otto III. is a fake. A certificate from Henricus von Hartheim from 1197 shows that nobles lived in Hardheim. In 1256 the parish of Hardheim was first mentioned in a document.
When knight Georg Wolf von Hardheim died in 1607 without leaving an heir, Hardheim fell back denominationally to the Catholic diocese of Würzburg . State sovereignty, which until then had been with the Archbishop of Mainz , was transferred to the Bishopric of Würzburg in 1656 . Hardheim was already the seat of an office there , the Office Hardheim . The change of sovereignty also resulted in a change from the Kurrheinische Reichskreis to the Franconian Reichskreis . After the Napoleonic reorganization of the German area ( Reichsdeputationshauptschluss ), Hardheim was first assigned to the Principality of Leiningen in 1803 and, after its mediatization, to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806 .
In 1911 Hardheim was connected to the railway network via a branch line from Walldürn . This strengthened Hardheim's position as a workplace for many people in the area. However, the railway line has been closed again since 1999 and has been dismantled since 2004.
In 1961, an American missile defense unit was stationed here. The Carl-Schurz-Kaserne was inaugurated in 1966 .
In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , Bretzingen and Schweinberg were incorporated on August 1, 1971. Erfeld followed on December 1, 1971. On January 1, 1973, Richtstetten was added. The municipal reform was completed on January 1, 1975 with the incorporation of Dornberg, Rütschdorf and Vollmersdorf.
In 2012, Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière announced that the Carl Schurz barracks would be closed and that Hardheim, with its 1,000 posts, would be abandoned as a Bundeswehr location. During the refugee crisis in Europe in 2015 , 650 refugees were housed in the barracks. In October 2017, this Bundeswehr location was reactivated.

Hardheim Jewish Community
From the Middle Ages to the time of the Third Reich there was a Jewish community in Hardheim that had existed for over 600 years . In 1318 Jews were first mentioned in Hardheim, who were pawned by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian to the knights Werner and Reinhard von Hardheim. In 1349 there was also persecution of Jews in Hardheim during the plague. In 1451 Jews were mentioned again in the village. The Jewish community in Hardheim owned a synagogue , a religious school, a ritual bath and the Jewish cemetery in Hardheim . A separate religion teacher was employed, who was also active as a prayer leader and schochet . Since 1827 the Jewish community in Hardheim belonged to the district rabbinate Wertheim (later represented by the district rabbinate Mosbach ). In 1933 there were still 55 Jewish residents in Hardheim. From 1933 onwards, in the wake of National Socialism, there was increased reprisals and disenfranchisement as well as the economic boycott of Jewish businesses. In the years that followed, most members of the Jewish community moved away from Hardheim or emigrated. On October 22, 1940, the 17 Jews who remained in Hardheim were deported to Gurs , only five of them survived.
Of the Jewish people who were born in Hardheim or who lived in the town for a long time, 38 people can be shown to have died during the National Socialist era .
