Ottendorf is a district of the Lower Franconian community of Gädheim in the Haßberge district .
Geographical location
Ottendorf is located about two kilometers east and main upward from the main town Gädheim on the B 26 , which connects on the right bank along the two places. There is no river bridge on the southern bank of the village itself, over which the A 70 follows the valley axis on the edge heights in a neighboring municipality .
history
Ottendorf was possibly founded as early as the 8th century. The place was first mentioned in 1128 as "Ottohesdorf", in its current form of name "Ottendorf" in 1277.
The first church is said to have been built in Ottendorf as early as 1151. In 1435 the place became a branch with its own pastor.
After Ottendorf had its own jurisdiction in 1468, the place did not take part in the peasant uprising of 1525 . This is said to be the origin of the inhabitants' nickname "Badger". After the peasant uprising, the place changed to the Lutheran faith in 1541 under the Lords of Schaumburg, but became Catholic again in 1587 during the Counter-Reformation under the Würzburg Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn .
The knights of Wenkheim with their headquarters in Großwenkheim also belonged to the owners of the place . In 1517 Jobst von Wenkheim sold his castle, which no longer existed, with the associated lands to Lorenz von Bibra .
Towards the end of the 15th century, the town's church was replaced by a Gothic church building due to its dilapidation . After this was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , a new church was built in 1672, which was expanded several times over the years and today houses one of the largest, protected mouse-eared bat colonies in Bavaria in its bell tower.
During the Second Margrave War , troops of Margrave Albrecht II Alcibiades looted the castle in 1553 . In 1796, during the First Coalition War , the town was looted and pillaged. A pair of linden trees standing in the middle of the village, the Turkish linden tree of Ottendorf, commemorates the failed siege of the city of Vienna by the Turks in 1683 .
In 1653 the local town hall was built. After its demolition, the town's school building was erected in its place in 1912, and was used until 1999 (with a break between 1973 and 1989).
On May 1, 1978 Ottendorf became part of Gädheim as part of the municipal reform.
