history
Until the 19th century
The oldest documented settlement on the Herbrechtingen district was a Roman estate with a brick kiln.
The story Herbrechtingens goes to the former monastery Herbrechtingen back, whose first documentary mention Herbrechtingens from the year 774 comes as Charlemagne the villa Hagrebertingas to Abbot Fulrad of Saint-Denis gave away. The Herbrechtingen Monastery was later founded by him. In 1171 Emperor Barbarossa granted the Herbrechtingen Monastery market rights . It came to the Augustinian Canons at the same time .
In 1258 the Herbrechtingen monastery fell under the rule of the Counts of Helfenstein and came under the rule of Heidenheim in 1356 . From 1504 Herbrechtingen belonged to Württemberg . During the pledge rule by the imperial city of Ulm, the Reformation began in 1531, which was confirmed by Duke Ulrich in 1536, but was only finally enforced by Duke Christoph in 1552 after the restitution as a result of the Augsburg interim . The monastery was converted into a Württemberg staff office. Due to the Edict of Restitution in the Thirty Years War, the Herbrechtingen Monastery was again taken over by Catholic religious who came from Wettenhausen Monastery from 1630 to 1648 . In 1633 there was looting in Herbrechtingen by Swedish troops who camped in the area of the Heidenheim rule. After the battle of Nördlingen , the victorious imperial troops destroyed the place. The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 envisaged the return of all former Württemberg monastery offices, including Herbrechtingen, to the Duchy of Württemberg. The monastery thus became a Protestant monastery again. From 1741 to 1749 Johann Albrecht Bengel was prelate of Herbrechtingen.
On October 15, 1805, one day after the Battle of Elchingen , a battle broke out around the community of Herbrechtingen between the Austrian rearguard under the command of Field Marshal Lieutenant Franz Freiherr von Werneck and French troops under the command of General Louis Klein .
During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , the Herbrechtingen monastery office was dissolved in 1806 and the place was assigned to the Heidenheim regional office.
20th and 21st centuries
During the First World War from 1914 to 1918 Herbrechtingen had 118 war casualties , in the Second World War 174 dead and 85 missing. The administrative reform of April 25, 1938 during the Nazi era in Württemberg led to membership in the Heidenheim district . After the Second World War, Herbrechtingen fell into the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. The Herbrechtinger Wochenblatt appeared for the first time in 1949, and in 1953 Herbrechtingen received a new municipal coat of arms that is still valid today. In 1974 Herbrechtingen celebrated its founding 1200 years earlier and was promoted to town on April 30th.
The newly designed cultural center in the monastery was inaugurated on September 13, 2002 after a four-year restoration period, and a year later, on June 18, the bypass road that had been planned for 50 years was inaugurated.
Religions
The introduction of the Reformation in 1552 led to the abolition of the monastery.
