The highest point of the marking is the Auchtert in the northeast at 813 m, the lowest point is the topmost point of the Zipfelbach gorge at 656 m. Neighboring towns are Bissingen in the north, Lenningen in the south-west and south , Neidlingen in the east and Hepsisau in the north-east , a district of the city of Weilheim an der Teck .
history
The medieval history of Ochsenwang is largely in the dark. At that time the sovereign rights were presumably with the Zähringers and later passed either through the Counts of Aichelberg or through the rule of Teck to Württemberg. The castle of the Lords of Randeck, built around 1290, was located in what is now Ochsenwang. The most famous Randecker was Marquard I von Randeck (born around 1300; died January 3, 1381). He was first cathedral capitular in the Archdiocese of Bamberg , then Bishop of Augsburg and later until his death Patriarch of Aquileia . A nephew of the patriarch, Marquard von Randeck of the same name , was briefly Bishop of Minden (1398) and then Bishop of Konstanz (1398-1406). In 1477, Count Eberhard von Württemberg sold the place with all rights of domination to Dietrich Speth von Neidlingen. Since then Ochsenwang has shared the fortunes of Neidlingen, including direct imperial rule and high jurisdiction . Until 1807 the place belonged to the Vogtei Neidlingen, then until 1938 to the Oberamt Kirchheim .
Ecclesiastically, Ochsenwang has belonged to the parish of Bissingen since the Middle Ages. There was no church building of its own. In 1706, the Ochsenwanger received permission to build their own church. At first the pastor of Schopfloch and later the pastor of Bissingen looked after the church. In 1822 the branch church was raised to its own parish, which was occupied by parish administrators. It was in this context that Eduard Mörike came to Ochsenwang.
On January 1st, 1975 Ochsenwang was incorporated into Bissingen.
