history

The place was probably settled during the Carolingian colonization in the 8th / 9th centuries. Century, indicated by the ending -hausen as well as the Frankish patronage of Saint Martin.

In the history of Obenhausen, rulership often changed between different secular and spiritual owners. The place name was first mentioned in history in the middle of the 13th century with a Conradus de Obinhusin , probably lord of a local noble family. Presumably as the heir of the Biberegg-Roggenburgers , the place came to the Lords of Neuffen , who in 1304 sold this rule to the Ulm patricians of Halle . Subsequently, the Besserer and Rot from Ulm also administered Obenhausen; in 1333 it was owned by the von Reyff family . After the lords of Neuffen died out in 1342 and the sovereignty passed to the dukes of Bavaria, they pledged the place in 1377 to the lords of Rechberg , who immediately sold the rule to the Ulm patrician Krafft . It was inherited by Krafft's son-in-law Hans Asch , who in 1409 sold Obenhausen to the Värber family from Ulm (other spelling: Färber ). A member of this family, Peter Värber, appropriated the higher judiciary, which he was not entitled to, by hanging his father's bailiff. Georg the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut then ordered his keeper and pledgee Georg von Rechberg to take Obenhausen and to put Peter Värber prisoner. The intention was also to expand the Wittelsbach family in eastern Swabia. As a result, the rule of Obenhausen came under direct Bavarian administration, which, however, was confiscated by Emperor Maximilian I in 1504 after the Landshut War of Succession . But the Habsburgs also immediately got rid of the property by selling it to the Ulm patricians Roth , who, again because of financial difficulties, sold Obenhausen to the Paumgartner family from Augsburg . David von Paumgarten was beheaded in 1567 for political involvement, and the rule was sold to the Fugger von Kirchberg-Weißenhorn family in the following years for financial reasons .

In 1676 ownership changed to Roggenburg Abbey . As early as 1697, the place with the castle went to the Rottenbuch monastery near Schongau , which, however, handed over ownership to the Buxheim Charterhouse two years later . Now began a longer, constant period of ownership, even if Obenhausen was not managed directly by the Charterhouse as a so-called Afterlehen. The Buxheim administrator was named by Kolb . Despite frequent changes, the place always remained formally part of the county of Kirchberg-Weißenhorn, i.e. the Fuggers, who also exercised the highest jurisdiction. After secularization in 1803, the clergy became extinct, whereupon the Counts of Ostein were rewarded for their lost possessions on the left bank of the Rhine, including the town and Obenhausen Castle. In 1805 it was incorporated into the Bavarian state , whereupon King Max Joseph I gave the rule to the Barons of Verger as a fief in 1809 . After the death of Johann Baptist von Verger in 1851, Obenhausen fell back under the direct Bavarian administration as a settled fiefdom, until in 1873 it was awarded again by King Ludwig II to the captain and royal master of ceremonies, Count Karl von Moy . The Counts of Moy de Sons still live in Obenhausen Castle for a while. However, the fief that was assigned to them was revoked in 1928.

After it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria, Obenhausen was initially assigned to the Roggenburg district court , until a separate patrimonial court was created in 1809 under the Barons von Verger . From 1818, however, this jurisdiction was again subordinated to Roggenburg, until this administration was also repealed in 1848 in favor of the Weißenhorn court. But the court affiliation to Weißenhorn only lasted four years. In 1852 Obenhausen became part of the Illertissen jurisdiction , and after centuries of reference to Weißenhorn, the place gradually oriented towards the up-and-coming market town and subsequent district town. These district courts were the indirect forerunners of the later districts.

In the last days of the Second World War , the area southwest of the church was bombed on April 24, 1945, whereby the parsonage, Maria Scheider, was killed as a result of her injuries from bomb fragments. A plaque on the church reminds of this. The Rothbrücke near the Hetzenmühle was blown up by the German troops, so that the Americans marched in from the north via Dietershofen .

Obenhausen remained with the district of Illertissen until the district reform in 1972 and was then incorporated into the district of Neu-Ulm (initially Illerkreis ).

On January 1, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Dietershofen came to Obenhausen, on May 1, 1978 the municipality of Obenhausen itself was incorporated into the Buch market.
