history

The Oberthal farm was probably built during the Franconian construction period (9th / 10th century). In the original cadastre , the settlement was first mentioned in 1520 under the name Zum Dall with three houses. The name Oberthal was given to the estate in 1694 to distinguish it from the neighboring Unterthal . According to a lease from 1520, the Johanniterkommende Herrenstrunden owned the facility. At the end of the 17th century, the farm owned 100 acres . In addition, the lease from 1692 shows 9 acres of farmland, 41 acres of arable land and 49 acres of coppice and scrubland. In 1806 the court fell into state ownership with the secularization . It has been privately owned since October 7, 1829.
