history

Effects of the 1846 Border Treaty on Aries

Between 769 and 795 , deeds of donation of the Lorsch Codex with Rohisheim , Rochisheim and mostly Rochesheim recorded several very similar spellings of the same name. The place name is probably derived from a personal name. In the 11th century a castle and Ruchsen local nobility are mentioned. In the 13th century Ruchsen belonged to the Lords of Dürn , who founded the Seligental Monastery in 1236 . In 1464 the monastery acquired local rule . In the monastery itself, Kurmainz gained greater and greater influence and, after the abolition of the monastery in 1568, retained secular rule. In 1803 Ruchsen came to the Principality of Leiningen with the Seligental office , then in 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Baden , where it belonged to the Osterburken District Office (or from 1826 Adelsheim District Office). From then on, Ruchsen bordered the Baden-Württemberg condominium town of Widdern in the east and was otherwise surrounded by Württemberg, i.e. essentially an exclave. In 1831 and 1834 tariff reductions came into force. On May 1, 1846, as part of an area swap, Widdern came completely to Württemberg, but the towns of Korb , Dippach and Hagenbach an Baden north of Ruchsen , so that Ruchsen now had a direct land connection to the rest of Baden. In 1936 the place became part of the Buchen district office, which in 1938 became the Buchen district . On March 1, 1972, Ruchsen was incorporated into Möckmühl and moved to the Heilbronn district.

Religions

In terms of church, Ruchsen was a branch of Möckmühl in 1331, and in the middle of the 15th century the Mosbach Abbey had the right of patronage over the Ruchsen parish. Despite Mainz local rule, the Electoral Palatinate appointed a Protestant (later Reformed) pastor in 1559 and carried out the Reformation. Since January 1, 1976 the Protestant parish has belonged to the Württemberg regional church . The Ruchsen Catholics are looked after from Adelsheim .
