history
Möckmühl was already the seat of officials of the respective sovereigns in the late Middle Ages. After Albrecht von Hohenlohe's death in 1338, Burkart Sturmfeder was appointed bailiff in the Würzburg district. The name of the bailiff Ulrich von Rosenberg has been passed down from the Palatinate period in the 15th century. Even after Möckmühl came to Württemberg in 1504, it remained an official city. In addition to Möckmühl itself, the district also included Roigheim , Bittelbronn , Reichertshausen , Siglingen , Kreßbach and Lampoldshausen as well as the Württemberg share of rams . Until the Thirty Years War , the position of bailiff was filled with members of the lower nobility. Well-known officials of the 16th century were Götz von Berlichingen 1518/19, Wolf von Vellberg after 1525, who had contacts with the robber baron Thomas von Absberg , Christoph Landschad von Steinach († 1587), whose coat of arms has been preserved in the Möckmühl cemetery chapel , and Götz von Berlichingen's grandson Hans Reinhard von Berlichingen, in office from 1587 to 1595. After the Thirty Years War, the office was mostly occupied by commoners. From 1649 the Württemberg-Neuenstadt line benefited from the income from the Möckmühl office, while taxes still had to be paid to Stuttgart. From that time, numerous complaints from the Möckmühl office to the state parliament about excessive wood deliveries to Neuenstadt am Kocher have been received.
In the course of the reorganization of Württemberg after the Napoleonic wars, the Oberamt Möckmühl was dissolved in 1808 and added to the Oberamt Schöntal as a sub- office . The Unteramt lost its share of rams, but in addition to the previous locations, it also headed the Kochertal locations Sindringen , Ohrnberg and Möglingen as well as Korb , Hagenbach and Dippach . In 1810 the Möckmühl sub-office became part of the Neckarsulm upper office , with the Kochertal locations being removed from the sub-office district, but Olnhausen and Jagsthausen were added. The Möckmühl district came to the Heilbronn district in 1938 with the former Neckarsulm district, known as the Neckarsulm district since 1934 .
