Oettingshausen is a district of the Upper Franconian town of Bad Rodach in the Coburg district .

geography

The place is about 14 kilometers northwest of Coburg in a deeply cut valley at the foot of the Long Mountains . It consists of a few large courtyards with a block corridor . The Gumpertsbach, a source brook of the Rodach , called Harrasgraben from Oettingshausen, flows through it. Orchards shape the landscape around the village. Oettingshausen apples were once sold as far as Thuringia and Saxony .

history

Like the neighboring towns of Ahlstadt and Großwalbur, Oettingshausen is likely to be colonized by the Franks in the 6th / 7th. Century back. The first documentary mention as "Otingishusin" comes from the year 1295. At that time Eberhard von Schaumberg put his signature on a deed of donation. The lords of Schaumberg were feudal lords of the parish of Oettingshausen.

Like the neighboring town of Ottowind , Oettingshausen is named after its founder or liege lord , a Franconian with the name Otto. The place originally belonged to the original parish of Heldburg , before its own parish with its fortified church was separated. Filial churches were Großwalbur , Breitenau , Ottowind, Ahlstadt , Grattstadt , Rottenbach and eastern parts of Elsa. With the exception of Ottowind, all branch communities between the 16th and 18th centuries became independent after the Reformation. In the first half of the 16th century the church loan went to the Schenk von Untersiemau , the Bach von Breitenau and the Heldritt zu Heldritt . A domain estate existed until 1919.

From 1305 at the latest, Oettingshausen was under the rule of the Hennebergers . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged. During the Thirty Years' War , the place lay desolate for 16 years and never regained its former size and importance. A mass grave from the period was found by the church in 1953.

In 1837 the place had 164 inhabitants.

At the beginning of the 19th century, fruit growing in Oettingshausen became very important after the teacher Johann Stephan Herold had intensively occupied himself with the cultivation and care of fruit trees. The “Oettingshäuser Gravensteiner ” emerged as a well-known apple variety .

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, eight citizens of Oettingshausen voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 27 against. From July 1, 1920, Oettingshausen also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

Village fountain

In 1950 the community had an area of ​​422 hectares . 196 inhabitants lived in 27 residential buildings. On January 1, 1975 Oettingshausen became a district of the city of Rodach.
