history

Martinskirche Oedelsheim

The place Oedelsheim was first mentioned in a document in 1084, but is likely to be much older. It is believed that a predecessor to the Martinskirche in Oedelsheim was built around the year 1000. Until the Reformation, it was the Sedes Church in the Archdeaconate of Nörten . The St. Martin's patronage of the predecessor building of the Protestant St. Martin's Church refers to this as in other places.

Today's Protestant church was probably built in 1829/30 by the Hessian building officer Daniel Engelhard as a hall structure with five window axes with a closed apse in the west and access through the tower in the east. A medieval font was taken from the previous building.

On February 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Oedelsheim merged with some surrounding communities to form the newly founded large community of Oberweser , which merged with Wahlsburg to form the Wesertal community on January 1, 2020 .
