Apart from the village of Oberschüpf ( ⊙ ), there is no other place to live in the former municipality of Oberschüpf .

history

middle Ages

The place was first mentioned in 1144 ( attested as Schippa by the nobility) and has probably been inhabited since the Frankish times and is not differentiated from Unterschüpf. In 1324 the place was mentioned as Niedernschüpf , which means that the name Oberschüpf can also be identified. Above the village there was a section castle with a double, deep moat and a square keep, which has been proven by excavations. The castle Schüpf was the seat of an important Stauferministerialengeschlechts. This was already before 1144 under the names Pris and Kolbo in the area of ​​King Konrad III. mentioned and branched out in lines to Klingenberg am Main, Neukastel in the Palatinate, Schüpf itself and Limpurg via Schwäbisch Hall. The Schüpfer branch died out around 1261.

Lesche appeared as the owner of the long since divided castle Schüpf in 1324 and Mertin von Mergentheim in 1381. Fiefdom had been Hohenlohe since at least 1235. In 1316 the king's sovereignty passed to Kurmainz. In 1388 half of the Hohenlohe rights came to the nobility of Tottenheim, who had already been enfeoffed with it. After the Hohenlohe-Brauneck died out, the other half came to the von Rosenberg family , who held it in 1413. Schüpf Castle was destroyed in the conflict over Boxberg around 1470. Thereupon the Lords of Rosenberg tried to gain full control, but had to come to an agreement with the Tottenheim again.

Modern times

Half of the town, which belonged to the Lords of Rosenberg, fell to Mainz in 1632, but was given to the Counts of Hatzfeld in 1638. In 1794 it again took over Mainz itself. The other half, which belonged to the Tottenheim, was divided several times and quickly split up further. Since the middle of the 16th century, the tithe Königshofen was responsible for the entire Schüpf rule. In 1690 several local rulers were mentioned. Since the 17th century the sovereign rights between Kurmainz and the local rulers were divided in a complicated way. In 1803, the Mainz share fell to Leiningen before the whole place became Baden in 1806, after Baden also took over the feudal sovereignty over the parts that had previously remained on different heirs. The office membership was identical to that of Boxberg from 1810 to 1924. Since then, Oberschüpf has belonged to the district office and district of Tauberbischofsheim, which in 1973 merged into the newly formed Main-Tauber district.

On August 1, 1974, Oberschüpf was incorporated into the town of Boxberg.
