history

Until the parish merger

Hohenaltheim was mentioned in a document as early as 878. The Synod of Hohenaltheim took place here in 916 . Until around 1300 the place was called Altheim. In 1508 Hans von Altheim sold his property to the Counts of Oettingen . In 1633 Hohenaltheim was plundered three times, in 1634 the battle of the Albuch took place just a few kilometers away; it brought the Catholic League victory over the Evangelical Union.

From the middle of the 18th century, Hohenaltheim Castle served as a summer residence , initially on the line from Oettingen-Oettingen and later that of Oettingen-Wallerstein. With the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806, the place then became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria . The center of Niederaltheim, which was almost completely destroyed and rebuilt after a major fire in 1899, is under ensemble protection.

With the community edict of 1818 , the community of Hohenaltheim was created with the community parts Forsthaus and Sägmühle. On July 1, 1973, the municipality of Niederaltheim and its parts of the municipality with Brunnenhaus, Frohnmühle, Ganzenmühle, Hochhaus, Karlshof, Mühlauhof, Schellenhof and Weiherhof were incorporated as part of the regional reform .
