history

middle Ages

In 1267 the place was first mentioned in a document as Reinoldisbrunne . This designation probably comes from a personal name. The discovery of a grave from the time of the Merovingians on the north-western edge of the village suggests that the place may have developed earlier. A local nobility from Reinsbronn was mentioned in the 13th and 14th centuries as a fiefdom holder of the Lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck, but probably died out again before 1400. In 1402 Konrad von Goldstein received part of the village as a Hohenlohe fief. With the rest of the Brauneck rule, Reinsbronn, which belonged to the Tenth Hart, came to Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1448 , which the Geyer von Giebelstadt enfeoffed with the place.

Modern times

The Reinsbronn Castle , a former water tower in the lower part of the village was rebuilt in 1588 by Philipp Geyer. In the older western part there are still early Gothic building elements. In 1708, Reinsbronn, which was incorporated into the knightly canton of Odenwald, came to Prussia after the Geyer died out, and then again to Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1729. In 1750, Reinsbronn was added to the office of Creglingen and from then on shared its further history. The place fell to Württemberg in 1810 and since then has belonged to the Mergentheim Oberamt and since 1938 to the Mergentheim district , which became part of the newly formed Main-Tauber district on January 1, 1973.

On February 1, 1972, Reinsbronn was incorporated into the city of Creglingen.
