The parish village is divided into the younger Upper Village on a Jura plateau with many Jura houses and the older Lower Village , around 70 meters lower with the village church.

The Bösbach , which has its source near the village, flows through Oberhochstatt . The state road St 2228 runs through the village and leads to Burgsalach and the B 13 . From this the district road WUG 13 goes off to Indernbuch . Communal roads lead to Niederhofen and Kaltenbuch . The 45-hectare nature reserve Quellhorizonte and Magerrasen on the Albtrauf near Niederhofen has been located north of the village since 1986 . To the south lies the Weißenburger Stadtwald , to the east the Wildhau forest area . Weißenburg is around 4 km further west. The Rohrberg and the Steinerne Rinne near Rohrbach are near the village . Oberhochstatt is located directly on the European main watershed and is therefore “divided in two” from a hydrological point of view.

history

The Franconian Oberhochstatt was first mentioned in 899 as Hohenstat . The place name indicates the location as a "high-altitude residence". Until the 14th century the village belonged to the Wülzburg monastery and then came to the Margraves of Ansbach . In 1422 Oberhochstatt was burned down during the Bavarian War . The Reformation was introduced in 1528. Despite planning in the 19th century, it took until the 1950s for the municipality of Oberhochstatt to be connected to the water supply. The sewer system was built from 1962. In the 1950s, around 260 displaced persons moved to Oberhochstatt. On July 10, 1970, the community received a coat of arms. This shows the former coat of arms of the Wülzburg monastery and was supplemented by a black plow in a silver field.

On May 1, 1978, the formerly independent community of Oberhochstatt with the six districts of Oberhochstatt, Gänswirthshaus , houses on Wülzburger Berg , Kehl , Niederhofen and Schleifer am Berg was incorporated into Weißenburg as part of the municipal reform.
