history

The oldest known written mention of Untergriesheim, as Greozisheim , goes back to the donation of an Eberwin to the Lorsch monastery and dates, according to a copy of the deed of donation in the Codex Laureshamensis from April 26th 767. The village was probably in Franconian times around the 5th century founded. The first mentioned place name Greozisheim suggests a founder named Greozo or Greocus. The two neighboring towns of Obergriesheim and Untergriesheim emerged from its foundation up to the high Middle Ages. Up until the Staufer era , Obergriesheim was an independent imperial village . After changes of ownership in quick succession, the village fell to Kurmainz in 1362 , who together with Bachenau ceded it to the Teutonic Order in 1484 , in which it belonged to the Kommende Horneck until 1806. Obergriesheim retained its own village court.

A first church was built in 1593. During the Thirty Years' War Obergriesheim was struck by the plague in 1626/27 , by the Swedes in 1632 and by the Spanish in 1634. In 1643 the church was secularized and its bells were sold to Heilbronn in 1647 . In the second half of the 17th century, numerous residents fell victim to the “hot fever” ( typhus ). In 1687 the Swedes, marauding in the Neckar Valley, invaded Obergriesheim.

During the period of political calm in the second half of the 18th century, Obergriesheim experienced a certain boom. Numerous buildings date from this time, including historical restaurants, etc. a. Gasthof Traube from 1781 and Gasthof Kreuz from 1792. After the transition to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806, the “hot fever” raged again, and the years 1816/17 were marked years of hunger. At that time the former church was only used as a magazine. In 1848 the situation of the rural population improved with the elimination of the tithe . In 1866 Prussian soldiers were quartered briefly in Obergriesheim.

The beginning of the 20th century saw the inauguration of a new church in 1902, a school building in 1911 and the electrification of the place in 1912. In 1927, the town's sewer system was created. In 1939 there were 434 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 503. After the Second World War the number of inhabitants rose sharply, as over 100 refugees and displaced persons found a new home in Obergriesheim. On January 1, 1975 it was incorporated into Gundelsheim.

Obergriesheim is still strongly characterized by agriculture. Today none of the numerous traditional inns in the village are operated. The place has infrastructural deficiencies, with the exception of a bakery and a small beverage market belonging to a country trade , there are no longer any shops, and today the place is predominantly home for commuters from the surrounding cities and communities.

Obergriesheim has about 710 inhabitants. The center of the village community is the local "Music, Sports and Singing Association Eintracht Obergriesheim", whose various departments organize the Obergriesheim street festival.

coat of arms

Until 1938, municipal stamps u. Ä. exclusively the German Order Cross. In 1938, with a view to merging Obergriesheim with Untergriesheim and Höchstberg , the archives management proposed the coat of arms still used by Untergriesheim today. Since the merger did not take place, the municipality adopted the current coat of arms in 1959, which shows a black Teutonic cross over a red six-spoke wheel on silver. The so-called Mainz wheel was the symbol of the Mainz archbishopric, the predecessor in possession from 1362 to 1484.

Attractions

Catholic Church
  • The Catholic Herz-Jesu-Kirche was built from 1899 to 1902 in neo-Gothic style based on plans by Ulrich Pohlhammer . The substructure of the tower still comes from an older Holy Trinity church around 1600. During the new construction, the tower was raised by Pohlhammer by an octagonal upper floor and a tower dome. The simple interior of the originally more ornate church is due to a renovation in the 1960s.
  • Baroque crucifixion group from 1792 in Obere Strasse
  • Backhaus (19th century) and Milchhaus (around 1930) on Bachenauer Strasse
  • Numerous historical buildings from different eras have been preserved in the village, including the Gasthof Traube from 1781 and the Krauth estate from 1910.
