Community structure
The village of Ofterdingen and the Jungviehweide homestead, built in 1938, belong to the community.
In the municipality of Ofterdingens are the abandoned , no longer existing villages Benishausen, Meisenhart and Stetten.
geology
Ofterdingen is located in the southwest German layered landscape . The geological subsoil within the localization is characterized by the sequence of rocks from the Black Jura (Lias). The hard limestone layers of the Lias α (Arietenkalk), which form the layer surface west of the town up to Rammert, are characteristic. They are also the reason for the deflection of the flow direction of the Steinlach to the northeast and for the Steinlach waterfall northeast of Ofterdingen. Within the village, the Steinlach flows on the strata of Lias α3 and has exposed the stored fossils, mainly stone cores of ammonites and oysters. This is how the ammonite pavement, famous for the place, was created.
Natural equipment
The extensive orchards on the southern edge of the Rammert and the Kührain and on the Ofterdinger Berg are the habitat of some rare bird species. Small wet meadow areas and reed areas below the Kührain are valuable . The Steinlach streambed is built up throughout the Ofterdingen area and not close to nature. The only natural stream with an alluvial forest gallery made of ash, willow and black alder is the Tannbach on the southern edge of the settlement area, a left tributary of the Steinlach, which previously took in the Buchbach or Ernbach at the municipal boundary to Mössingen.
history
overview
The first documentary mention of the community was around 1115. Later owners were the Counts of Zollern . They sold these to Friedrich Herter von Dußlingen in 1346 .
A connection to the medieval fictional character Heinrich von Ofterdingen von Novalis is unlikely and cannot be proven.
From 1417 to 1802 Ofterdingen belonged to the Bebenhausen monastery . With the introduction of the Reformation in 1534 it passed to the Duchy of Württemberg .
When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806 , Ofterdingen was assigned to the Rottenburg Oberamt in 1807 . Due to the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the place became part of the Tübingen district in 1938. In 1945 Ofterdingen became part of the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

The Protestant parish has around 2,450 Protestant Christians. The community was first mentioned in 1266. Since 1356 it has been referred to as St. Moritz (Mauritius). The leadership of the church was held by the Zollern . In 1345 the community went to the Herter family as a fief and from 1417 to 1483 to the Bebenhausen monastery, into which the church was incorporated in 1492. This church on the Ofterdinger Berg was demolished in 1565/67. There was a chapel in the village at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1484 an early measurement pillar was established there and in 1507 the parish rights were probably established. The Reformation was introduced in 1534. The current church is a late Gothic building from 1522. The tower is older and possibly the rest of a former castle.
The New Apostolic Church is also based in Ofterdingen with a congregation. The community has around 150 members.

Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture and Forestry
Ofterdingen was formerly a rural area. Additional and part-time businesses are still available today, but no longer characterize the townscape. A full-time business has been relocated to the northern outskirts. A horse farm is located southwest of the village in Gewann Kuhwasen . The stray fruit growing is still playing an important role in Ofterdingen. It is mainly used to produce apple cider. Large orchards are located north of Ofterdingen in the apron of the Rammert and on the Kührain. On the Ofterdinger district there are larger forests in the closed forest area of the Rammert and on the Kührain in the west of the village. They are used intensively for forestry purposes. Large areas are small parceled private forests. Hurricane Lothar caused large-scale storm throws in Rammert and on the Kührain at Christmas 1999. Over several years, the areas were laboriously cleared of storm wood (mainly thrown coniferous wood) and mostly reforested with deciduous trees. Until the end of the 19th century, wine was grown on the southern slope of the Kührain. In the 1980s, wine lovers revived viticulture there on a small scale .
