Oberwössen is a district of the community Unterwössen in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein .
history
Settlement of the area goes back to Celtic and Roman origins. The pottery shards that were found near the Rettenburg on a ridge between Hinterwössen and Kruchenhausen date to around the year 900, which suggests an already existing settlement in Oberwössen or Unterwössen.
Unterwössen was first mentioned in a document in 1120. The name Oberwössen was first mentioned in the tax register of 1420. In the Spanish (1701–1714) and Austrian (1740–1748) War of Succession, the local population suffered great damage due to the location near the border. Oberwössen and Unterwössen in today's Upper Bavaria district belonged to the Burghausen Rent Office and the Marquartstein Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , the municipal edict of 1818 created the municipalities of Oberwössen and Unterwössen. After the Second World War , many displaced people found a new home in Unterwössen and Oberwössen.
In its history as an independent municipality, Oberwössen had a total of two mayors. Valentin Plenk was mayor of Oberwössen from 1945 to 1958. His successor, who worked until 1972, was Johann Weber, who was also the last Oberwössen mayor before incorporation into the community of Unterwössen. In memory of these two Oberwössen mayors, Valentin Plenk and Johann Weber, there are framed photos today in the foyer of the Oberwössen community center "Schulhaus".
On July 1, 1972, Oberwössen was incorporated into the municipality of Unterwössen during the Bavarian regional reform .
