Odenheim is a village in the district of Karlsruhe in Kraichgau , which was incorporated into Östringen in 1974 . The Odenheim monastery had been located on the site since the high Middle Ages , and it had a significant influence on the development of the place until its abolition in 1802/03.
geography
Odenheim is located in the Katzbachtal in the hill country of the Kraichgau .
history
Odenheim was first mentioned as Otemheim 769 in the Lorsch Codex . The place is located on an old Roman road and was probably a meeting place for district assemblies as early as Germanic times.
In the Franconian settlement period, various settlements were founded in Odenheim as the central location. The most important of these settlement locations was once Atzelberg , where a stone church and a mill were located next to residential buildings. The early expansion settlements probably went under during the Hungarian invasions in 954. The great moth Wigoldesberg , which was built on the nearby Greifenberg (formerly Wigoldesberg ) and was the seat of the Kraichgau Counts in the 10th and 11th centuries, was of particular importance .
From the 12th century onwards, the history of Odenheim was closely linked to the Benedictine monastery founded by the Counts of Lauffen initially on the Wigoldesberg, later the Odenheim knight's monastery , which had extensive possessions in the area and from which the founding of further towns and monasteries was based. The important monastery led to an upswing in the town, which was granted market rights in 1273 and became an important trading point for cattle and agricultural products. In 1290 the monastery received the right to appoint the town mayor .
After the monastery was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525, the management of the monastery property was transferred to the town.
Odenheim came to Baden due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the dissolution of the Hochstift Speyer in 1803 and was the seat of the Odenheim office from 1803 to 1807 .
Odenheim has belonged to Östringen since January 1st 1974 and has around 3700 inhabitants on around 2100 hectares.
