history

The first documentary mention comes from the year 1306 as the independent parish of Hettigenbeuern and clearing settlement of the Amorbach monastery , which was originally the sole landlord .

When the parish was established, a church was built on the cemetery grounds. After the destruction in the Thirty Years War , construction of the current church in neo-Gothic style began in 1903.

Originally Hettigenbeuern was owned by the Lords of Adelsheim , then in Würzburg , and finally half of the place went into the possession of the young Götz von Berlichingen . Today's Götzenturm (then a residential and defense tower) still dates from this time . A coat of arms stone that bears the year 1414 and excavation finds are the last witnesses of a castle that stood on the castle hump . It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War.

Hettigenbeuern has seen an upward trend since the 19th century, due to the commercial tobacco growing in the community. The climate and the nature of the soil are particularly suitable for growing quality tobacco. Hettigenbeuern was called the tobacco metropolis of the Odenwald. The tobacco barns still shape the townscape today.

In 1806 Hettigenbeuern came to the Grand Duchy of Baden .

On October 1, 1974, the city of Buchen was combined with Götzingen, Hainstadt, Hettigenbeuren and Hettingen to form today's city of Buchen.
