history

Middle Ages, Counts of Achalm

In the Counts of Achalm-Urach there was a noble named "Unfried" (Onfried), from which the place name Oferdingen was derived. The headquarters of the Achalmists were in Oferdingen, Altenburg and Rommelsbach. The first Achalm castle stood where the Neckar and Reichenbach form a spur - it is probably the oldest Achalm castle. In Oferdingen people talk about the “Schlößlesbergle”.

The Zwiefalten monastery was founded in 1089 and the Akhalmgraves Kuno von Wülflingen and Liutold von Achalm-Urach , who had no heirs, bequeathed half of their property to the monastery. The nephew, Count Werner von Grüningen , received the other half and the entire Achalmburg with knights and service personnel. So that the nephew could not dispute the donated goods from the Zwiefalten monastery, the " Bempflinger contract " was concluded in 1089 . In this contract, the 54 places that were affected by the donation were listed - including Oferdingen. It is the first written mention of Oferdingen.

Among the local nobility there was a Hermann in 1291 and Fritz and Utz in the 14th century. A court belonging to Count Burkhard von Hohenberg was fiefdom of Fritz von Lustnau and his son Heinz in the middle of the thirteenth century . The Zwiefalten monastery sold the parish to Berthold vom Stain around 1332 . In 1342 Oferdingen came with the Palatinate Tübingen to Württemberg .

Oferdingen is located on an old Neckar crossing, where the first Neckar bridge was built in the 14th century. The location of the neighboring municipality of Altenburg is characterized by the old and important connecting road that ran between the Roman forts of Köngen and Rottenburg and that was also used in the early Middle Ages.

Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Times

In addition to the counts and dukes of Württemberg , the hospital of the imperial city of Reutlingen , patricians from Esslingen am Neckar , the monasteries Bebenhausen (a farm), Zwiefalten and Pfullingen owned properties in Oferdingen. The spiritual goods came to Württemberg at the latest with the secularization , i. In other words, their gradients were transferred to the Tübingen winery . In 1809, a farm belonging to the Johanniter coming Rohrdorf was nationalized. Serf Oferdinger citizens mainly belonged to the high ducal Württemberg rule.

Like his branch in Rommelsbach, Oferdingen was almost extinct as a result of the plague in 1609–1611. In 1609 103 people died of it, in 1611 60 people may have survived. At the same time, 55 people died in the Altenburg branch . The plague also broke out in 1634/35. She was brought in by Spanish mercenaries.

During the Thirty Years' War , the place offered excellent accommodation due to its favorable location and the Neckar Bridge. Before the storm of Colonel Walter Butler to Urach , on 12 November 1634 were in and around Oferdingen Catholic associations. Duke Eberhard III. fled into exile in Strasbourg after the battle of Nördlingen . Württemberg was then administered by the imperial governor Karl Ludwig Ernst von Sulz . In April 1638 some Weimar associations under Taupadel and Schaffalitzky penetrated the Black Forest and occupied important cities in Württemberg (including Tuttlingen , Balingen , Tübingen , Urach , Stuttgart ). They wanted to return the stolen monasteries and pledges and thus the entire duchy back to the rightful lord, Eberhard III. After long, exhausting negotiations, he was about to return to his territory, which had been reduced by half.

Bernhard von Schaffalitzky, who was staying in Urach, seized the opportunity and immediately negotiated with various cities about national defense. He would have loved to raise the state contingent and Eberhard III. fed. The company got off to a good start: the Württemberg peasants ran to meet the liberators in droves and offered to “take up arms if the duke only appeared himself”. But when one of their ringleaders was put on his bike in Reutlingen and the emperor sent his military leader Johann Graf von Götz on his way, the initial enthusiasm among the people died out as quickly as it flared up.

Meanwhile, the imperial army with 16,000 men held an impressive army show at the Wörth in Tübingen . The Weimar people ran away very quickly and now left Rottenburg am Neckar as well as Tübingen . At that time, Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen , who later wrote his Simplicissimus , also moved into the Götz army .

The small Weimar garrison of Urach also wanted to quickly unite with Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar's main power, which was gathering near Tuttlingen. On April 20, 1638, the imperial family stood in their way near Sondelfingen. Schaffalitzky's unit was wiped out and all but a few men were destroyed. The fight was so intense that dead children had to be picked up on the streets the next morning. In Oferdingen, too, you experience the horror: When Bavarian soldiers withdrew across the Neckar on April 21, they set the spot on fire. The church, the rectory and the messner's house were destroyed by flames. The new Oferdinger church book begins with the words: "Beginning after a highly damaging fire, when the stain burned down miserably by the Bavarian soldiers, in the fire at the same time all church utensils were spoiled [...] and then the baptismal register - in 1638, April 21st . " Fortunately, most of the residents had fled to Reutlingen beforehand.

On May 4th Götz reached the imperial city of Rottweil . Weimar appeared with the entire cavalry, but Götz cleverly evaded the Kinzig valley . Finally Weimar presented him to the battle of Wittenweiher . Götz left the field badly shaken and had to let himself fall back to Württemberg.

In the run-up to the Battle of Tuttlingen in 1643, Oferdingen was the scene of a battle. The Weimar and French (Count von Sayn-Wittgenstein and Colonel Friedrich Ludwig Kanoffski ) who camped here were attacked by Johann von Werth's cavalry. With 2000 men, he threw back the French guards and set the place on fire again. Werth captured the entire luggage and 800 horses, but lost over 100 men himself.

During the War of the Spanish Succession , troops moved through and billeted. Between 13th and 29th May 1703 troops of the Imperial General Hermann Otto II. Von Limburg-Styrum camped in the area around Nürtingen , to which Duke Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg also joined with his house troops. United with around 10,000 men, Eberhard Ludwig took the headquarters in neighboring Rommelsbach on June 2nd to 5th . The armed forces then split up: while the imperial troops faced the French and Bavaria in the battle of Höchstädt , the Württembergers united with Reichsfeldmarschall Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden near Haunsheim .

Today's old cemetery was laid out in 1626 "south of the place". The old burial place in the churchyard had become unfavorable and too small after the plague. In 1655 the Oferdinger church was rebuilt together with the rectory.

Modern times

The town hall was built in 1783. The schoolhouse built in 1816 (today's kindergarten) contained two teaching rooms and the schoolmaster's apartment. In 1867 Oferdingen had 464 inhabitants. Until 1938 Oferdingen belonged to the Oberamt Tübingen, which then became part of the Tübingen district. On January 1, 1971, Oferdingen was incorporated into the city of Reutlingen as part of the community reform. From 1928 to 1970 the town was also connected to the city center by the Reutlingen tram .

Religions

Most of the inhabitants of the community of Oferdingen are Protestant. There is a Protestant church, the Clement Church. She has her own pastor.

politics

The district mayor of the Reutlingen district , Ralph Schönenborn, resigned from his office in October 2015. He cited repeated hostility towards himself and his wife as the reason, because he had campaigned for the establishment of collective accommodation for over 70 refugees on a central property in Oferdingen. However, the district council rejected the plans and demanded Schönenborn's resignation. In his letter of resignation, Schönenborn reports that he was exposed to vilifications and threats from the Oferdingen population.

A so-called 'refugee initiative' wanted to ensure that no container village is built in Oferdingen and that far fewer refugees come to the village. For this, the initiative collected 700 signatures in the 2400-inhabitant town.
