history

The village church of the Assumption from 1783
The gardener's fountain

The name of the place comes from the river Lauter (" clear water "). The village was on the important highway between Augsburg and Strasbourg and belonged to the Lauterburg rule . In 1345 it is mentioned in a document in the so-called " first Gmünder Brief " when a Ludwig von Oettingen sold the patronage right and an estate in Essingen to the Heilig-Geist-Spital in Schwäbisch Gmünd . In 1414 the Lautern church was incorporated into the hospital.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, power was divided between several owners. The lords of Woellwart-Hohenroden were most important for a long time , before the Heilig-Geist-Spital took over this position in the 16th century with around 80% ownership.

The Woellwarths enforced the Reformation in 1555 among their subjects in the village, who were then parish off to Lauterburg .

In order to avoid disputes, the village lords agreed in 1599 on a common “village order to the Lautteren” , which was renewed in 1689.

From 1783 to 1785 the Gmünder Spital had the current Catholic parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary built in rococo style by the builder Johann Michael Keller in place of a Gothic church.

In 1803 Lautern became part of Württemberg , and the following year it was assigned to the Mögglingen Mayor's Office. Together with Essingen, Hohenroden and Lauterburg, the village came to the Oberamt Gmünd in 1807 and remained there after Hohenroden and Lauterburg were incorporated into the Oberamt Aalen in 1810 .

In the second half of the 19th century, horticulture developed as an important branch of industry alongside agriculture. Above all, the carnation cultivation of the "Carnation King" Breuling was known.

After the Second World War , the small community experienced a population growth due to displaced persons , which resulted in an extensive construction program. With the development of the Brühl residential area in 1954, the housing shortage was curbed. Further building areas were developed in 1958/59 ( Obere Wiesen ) and from 1963 to 1965 ( Bürglesbühl ).

Other important measures to develop the infrastructure were the construction of the non-denominational kindergarten by the Catholic parish in 1954 and the construction of the new town hall in 1963/64. From 1963 to 1967 Lautern was connected to the state water supply.

In 1970, the citizens decided in a public survey for the incorporation into Heubach instead of Mögglingen, which took place on January 1st, 1971.

politics

Local council

Lautern's citizens are represented by a local council. The current local council has been in office since the 2014 local elections. It consists of 8 members and is composed as follows: WfL (We for Lautern) 4 seats (55%) CDU 4 seats (45%).

The village mayor is Bernhard Deininger from the WfL electoral list .

coat of arms

The blazon of the former municipal coat of arms reads: In silver a blue wavy bar, above a growing, red unicorn, below a rising red crescent moon .

The unicorn indicated that it belonged to the imperial city of Schwäbisch Gmünd. The crescent moon came from the coat of arms of the important landlords of Woellwarth-Hohenroden , while the wave bar referred to the eponymous Lauter.

The municipality flag was blue and white.

On February 27, 1957, the municipal council decided on the coat of arms and flag.
