Rohrbach am Gießhübel is a village in the Heilbronn district in Baden-Württemberg , which has belonged to Eppingen since December 1, 1971 .
history
Celtic settlement finds in the area around Rohrbach indicate a very early settlement of the place. The place was first mentioned in 1170 in the chronicle of the Sinsheim monastery , the next mention dates from 1252. The then imperial knighthood place arose as a castle hamlet near a castle, which was later converted into a moated castle. The place was owned by the Lords of the vineyard , came in 1317 as a pledge to Reinhard of Sickingen , whose descendants the then 14 farmsteads comprehensive place to the monastery and later in 1385 Ritterstiftskirche Odenheim sold, the 1387 also Rohrbacher courtyard of the Lords of Ehrenberg acquired .
The place located in the swampy lowlands on the Rohrbach body of the same name was originally named Rohrbach bei Eppingen to differentiate it from the places of the same name . In 1395, the name by dem gysobl is documented for the first time , which has evolved over time into today's Gießhübel . The exact meaning of the nickname Gießhübel is unknown, but most likely has to do with the location of the place on the water or on marshy ground.
In the early days of belonging to the Odenheim Monastery, agriculture in Rohrbach was intensified by the draining of swamps and the creation of new fields and vineyards as well as the establishment of new hubs , but one also seems to have gradually built up a high tax burden on the subjects of their own Expressed displeasure in the Peasants' War in 1525 with the riots against Odenheim Abbey. In 1574, 73 stoves (households) were counted in Rohrbach. In the 16th century a political community gradually formed. 1608, the subjects of Odenheim and Rohrbach, a newly introduced refused Umgeld on all the dispensed wine to the pin Odenheim payable, whereupon by Emperor Rudolf II. About the places the imperial ban was imposed. In the course of this, five Rohrbach subjects were imprisoned by the bishopric in Bruchsal, but were freed again by the Electoral Palatinate , which thereby sought to strengthen its influence in the abbey area and annexed parts of it. After the annexed areas were returned, the Reichsacht over Rohrbach was lifted again in 1615. In 1617 the community received 102 acres from Stift Odenheim.
During the Thirty Years' War , the place was ravaged by famine and typhus in 1633/34 and completely burned down in 1634 by Croatian troops fighting on the emperor's side. Only the church and castle outside of the village escaped destruction. In 1668 only 13 households were counted. However, the reconstruction work in the following years was destroyed by a major fire in 1749 and by the outbreak of an epidemic that killed 10 to 15 people every day.
In 1776 the Electoral Palatinate renounced most of its sovereign claims in Rohrbach in favor of the Odenheim Monastery. With the secularization of the knight's monastery in 1803, Rohrbach came as an independent place to the Grand Duchy of Baden and in it to the Landamt Odenheim , from 1806 to the Oberamt Gochsheim and from 1810 to the District Office Eppingen . In 1939 there were 906 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 1030.
On December 1, 1971, it was incorporated into Eppingen. In the last few decades several new building areas have been developed, which has steadily increased the number of inhabitants. Today Rohrbach has about 1600 inhabitants. The place is still strongly agricultural and predominantly residential for commuters from the surrounding places and communities.
Religions
As a member of the Odenheim Abbey, Rohrbach remained predominantly Catholic even during the Reformation , even though Protestant pastors were temporarily appointed by the Electoral Palatinate from the late 16th century , which sparked religious conflicts. The devastation of the war also led to the abandonment of the Reformed pastor's office in Rohrbach, whereupon the Protestant community in the village was supplied from Eppingen, before the Odenheim Abbey completely banned Protestant services in Rohrbach in 1690. A Protestant parish has only recently appeared again. The place is still predominantly Catholic today.

The church was lavishly painted several times in the past, but has only had neutral walls and ceilings since a renovation in 1948. The baroque furnishings with main and two side altars and an ornate pulpit have been preserved. Historical tombs of local pastors, a tomb designed by Emil Wachter for Anton Fränznick and a war memorial from 1922 are erected around the church .
