Hepsisau is a district of the city of Weilheim an der Teck in the Esslingen district in Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Hepsisau is located in the Zipfelbachtal directly on the Albtrauf , about four kilometers south of Weilheim. The highest point of the marking is the tip rock on the Albtrauf with 746 m, the lowest point the Zipfelbachtal with 425 m. Neighboring towns are Bissingen in the west and south (district Ochsenwang ) and Neidlingen in the east. The city of Weilheim is in the north.
history
The place is mentioned in writing for the first time in 1504, while the local nobility, the lords of Hepsisau, appear in documents as early as 1237 and 1241. Since the late Middle Ages, local sovereignty has always been with the city rulers of Weilheim. Hepsisau shared the fate of Weilheim and passed from the Counts of Aichelberg through the Counts of Kirchberg to Württemberg in 1334/36 .
The family of the Lords of Hepsisau seems to have died out around the middle of the 13th century and was inherited by the Lords of Neidlingen. Marquard von Neidlingen built Lichteneck Castle before 1287 . The castle was inhabited until around 1400 and then fell into disrepair.
The Thirty Years War brought difficult times for Hepsisau after the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634 . Of the original 350 inhabitants, only a strong third remained. It was only around 1770 that the town had the population it had before the war.
The Hepsisauer belonged to Weilheim until 1846. A chapel had existed since 1479. In 1846 Hepsisau became its own parish.
Like Weilheim, Hepsisau came to the district of Nürtingen from the Oberamt Kirchheim in 1938 during the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg .
On January 1, 1972, Hepsisau was incorporated into Weilheim an der Teck.
