Ohrnberg is a village in Hohenlohe that has been part of Öhringen since the end of 1972 . Today the place has about 700 inhabitants.
geography
The village of Ohrnberg is about six kilometers west-northwest of the city center of Öhringen as the crow flies, at the confluence of the Ohrn and the Kocher . The village center lies on the lower spur between the Ohrn and the tapering Kocher, to which the smaller Pfahlbach flows just before the Ohrn in the local area . Today the village has settlement parts to the left of the Ohrn and above all and more recently also on the right opposite slope of the Kocher.
In addition to the village, there are also smaller towns in the Ohrnberg district, the Buchhof and Ruckhardtshausen farms on the plateau north of the Kocher, the Neuenberg residential area at the left foot of the Kochertal valley upstream of the village, the Heuholzhöfe farm on the back between Ohrn and Pfahlbach and the Lohhöfe residential area above on the spur between the ear and the draining stove.
history
Ohrnberg was first mentioned in a document in 779, when the center of the village was on the right side of the Kocher. The name of this place was Wächlingen, which can be traced back to a settlement founded by the Celts . From the year 1052, the place Ohrnberg is mentioned on the left bank directly at the confluence of the Ohrn in the Kocher. On December 31, 1972, Ohrnberg was incorporated into Öhringen.
Today Ohrnberg is exclusively a housing estate. Up until the 1970s there were up to four taverns, three grocery stores, bakers and butchers in Ohrnberg.

- Evangelical Church in Ohrnberg
The Ohrnberger church was formerly a branch of Baumerlenbach and came with the mother church in 1037 to the monastery Öhringen. In the Middle Ages it was consecrated to the church patrons Basilides, Quirinius and Nabor. A parish of Ohrnberg was first mentioned in 1270. The single-nave church with vaulted frescoes (evangelist symbols) in the Romanesque tower choir (now sacristy) was Gothic in 1370 and again in 1601/02 by expanding the nave to the north with a three-sided gallery there, with an altar and the pulpit above, as well as horseshoe-shaped pews Transverse church rebuilt. In 1704 the tower was given a half-timbered floor with an octagonal tent helmet. The gallery parapet consists of canvas pictures of Christ, the apostles and the evangelists. The ship was renovated by senior building officer Heinrich Dolmetsch in 1900 and restored by architect Walther-Gerd Fleck in 1962.
- Hydroelectric power plant
Between Ohrnberg and Möglingen is the Ohrnberg hydropower plant , which is supplied with water from the reservoir in today's Reiherhalde nature reserve via an approximately 1.1 km long tunnel. A useful gradient of 8.8 to 11.2 m is achieved through the tunnel.
traffic
From 1913 to 1993, Ohrnberg was the end point of the Untere Kochtertal Railway , which belonged as a private railway to the Württemberg Railway Company (WEG) and which reached Ohrnberg on August 1, 1913. The line between Neuenstadt am Kocher and Bad Friedrichshall had existed since 1907, and now had a total length of 22.6 km. Today, the tracks in the Hohenlohekreis area have been dismantled and part of the Kocher-Jagst cycle path has been running on the old route since 2008 .
