history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Odelshofen (as "Otolzhofen") comes from 1310. The village developed as an expansion settlement from cork . It was an allod of the Lords of Lichtenberg . How it was acquired is unknown. Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Odelshofen fell into the part of the property that was managed by the older line in the future. In the rule of Lichtenberg it was assigned to the office of Willstätt .

When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance passed to his two nieces, Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) and Elisabeth von Lichtenberg. Anna had married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480) in 1458, who had received a small secondary education from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . Elisabeth married Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Lichtenberg legacy was shared between them. The Willstätt office and thus Odelshofen became a condominium between the two heirs.

Modern times

Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was a real division of the common condominiums: The Willstätt office came entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In return, the Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Willstätt - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . In Hesse-Darmstadt times, Odelshofen was administratively slammed into cork according to a source .

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the office of Willstätt with the village of Odelshofen was assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden in 1803 . Here it belonged to the cork office , since 1939 to the district of Kehl .

On July 1, 1971, the previously independent Odelshofen was incorporated into Kehl.
