history

The place name means "To the sources of an obo / uobo," whereby the personal name was reinterpreted as an adjective "above / above" as early as the 15th century. Obenbrunn is likely to have emerged as a settlement in the course of the Franconian country development in the 8th or 9th century. First mentioned in documents is the hamlet of 1238, when Adelheid von Absberg the monastery Auhausen a fief gives among others in the top Brunn. In 1362 the Heilsbronn Monastery came into the possession of an estate from "Vbenbrunne". In the 14th century, the Ellwangen monastery also owned the village. In 1465 the village name "Obenpronn" appears. Contributions from the village are also made to the Reich Almosen zu Weißenburg (beginning of the 16th century), to the Margravial caste office in Gunzenhausen (so 1532) and to the Altenmuhr rule (mid-16th century). For the first time a complete overview of the landlords of the "Weylers Obenbronn" has been handed down for 1608: two subjects (families) are valid and vogtable to the Ansbach caste office Gunzenhausen , one subject is valid for the caste office Gunzenhausen, but the upper chaplain Gunzenhausen valid, one subject belongs to it Colonel Fuchs zu Rechenberg , a subject of the Lords of Absberg . The latter property was transferred to the Absberg Order of the Teutonic Order in 1652 , and 15 years later two subjects paid interest there. The high level of jurisdiction , the “ Fraisch ”, was exercised by the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen. At the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1801 it is reported that "Obenbronn" is a hamlet in the former Ansbach Oberamt Gunzenhausen ( Prussian since 1792 ); of the five subjects who sit here, four are assigned to this, one subject is "foreign master"; the “ Historical Atlas of Bavaria ” specifies this status as follows: The Gunzenhausen caste office includes one estate and two estates, the Upper Chaplaincy Gunzenhausen one estate, the Rechenberg administrator's office one estate and the Absberg Teutonic Order Office one house.

In 1806, Obenbrunn came from Prussian sovereignty to Bavaria , where in 1808 the village came with Oberasbach to the tax district Unterasbach in the district court / rent office Gunzenhausen, later the district of Gunzenhausen . In 1811 Oberasbach and Obenbrunn became a rural community of Unterasbach. The next reform, the community edict of 1818, brought Oberasbach with Obenbrunn the status of an independent rural community. This remained so until the territorial reform in the 20th century; on July 1, 1971 Oberasbach was incorporated with Obenbrunn to Gunzenhausen and on July 1, 1972 it came to the now enlarged new district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen , initially with the name of the district of Weißenburg in Bavaria .
