Ottenbronn is a district of the municipality of Althengstett in the Calw district in Baden-Württemberg .

history

Ottenbronn first appears in 1075 as Ottenbrunnan in King Henry IV's letter of confirmation for the Hirsau monastery among the estates that Count Adalbert von Calw had donated to this monastery. However, the place is said to be listed among the earliest Widemsgüter of Hirsau Monastery at the beginning of the 9th century. The latter, however, is doubted by various experts; They are of the opinion that the news of Ottenbronn's donation to the Hirsau Monastery around 830 AD could not be correct because it was a pre-form of the Waldhufendorf and the community was later mentioned in the list of the new donation from Calw .

Ottenbronn belonged from 1457 to 1807 to the monastery Hirsau office and came in 1807 with the implementation of the new administrative divisions in the Kingdom of Württemberg to Oberamt Calw . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg in 1938, Ottenbronn came to the district of Calw.

Religions

Since the Reformation in Württemberg in 1534, Ottenbronn has been evangelical . The Protestant parishes of the two Althengstett suburbs of Ottenbronn and Neuhengstett form the overall parish of Neuhengstett and Ottenbronn. In 1923, the Stuttgart architect Rudolf Behr gave Ottenbronn its own branch church, which was last extensively renovated and slightly expanded in 2003. In 1928, the art professor Erwin Hetsch (1895–1978) designed the altar wall with frescoes (Crucified, John the Baptist with the Lamb of God, Paul).
