history

Schrezheim was founded in the 7th century as an Alemannic settlement. Already in the 8th century it became the property of the Ellwangen Monastery .

Schrezheim was first mentioned around 1140 as Screzheim . Ellwangen was already wealthy in 1337 and soon owned the whole place. In 1802 it fell to Württemberg and belonged to the Oberamt Ellwangen . The associated hamlet of Eggenrot was partly owned by the Lords of Adelmannsfelden until 1802. The main part, however, was Ellwangian. In 1802 he came to Württemberg with Schrezheim.

Schrezheim in the 19th century

Schrezheim became known nationwide for its faience manufacture. The Schrezheim faience factory by Johann Baptist Bux († 1800), founded in 1752, made high-quality tableware and altars in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was continued by his daughter and later by her son. 100 years after it was founded, production ended: the factory burned down in 1852 and was never rebuilt.

Around 1873 a bathing establishment was built in the town center. It was fed by a source that was believed to have beneficial effects. There were even guests from Russia and America. However, after a few years the spring dried up and could not be exposed again.

On January 1, 1972, Schrezheim was incorporated into the town of Ellwangen (Jagst). In 2012 the village of Schrezheim celebrated its 675th anniversary.
