Oberlauringen has been a Friedrich Rückert themed village since 2011 , in memory of the poet and orientalist Friedrich Rückert .

Up to 1943 Oberlauringen had a larger Jewish community with a synagogue, its own school, mikveh and cemetery. A Torah scroll recovered from the remains of the synagogue in Oberlauringen and hidden from the National Socialists was presented to the head of the Würzburg Israeli religious community, David Schuster, by Bishop Josef Stangl at the inauguration of the new Würzburg synagogue in 1970 . The former Federal Minister of Justice Gerhard Jahn and the rabbi and theology professor Leo Trepp had roots in Oberlauringen.

The place was in the domain of the Hochstift Würzburg. The Counts von Henneberg and von Wildberg, the Hutten von Birkenfeld and the Truchsesse zu Wetzhausen were enfeoffed. In 1811 the village fell back to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and in 1814 to Bavaria.

Successor to Truchseß Castle

A castle on a side line of the imperial knighthood of those of Truchseß zu Wetzhausen with a castle garden and a portal from the 18th century stands at the entrance to the village ( coming from Mailes ).
