history
Early history
The area of today's city of Schrozberg and its suburbs belonged to the Duchy of Franconia in the High Middle Ages .
The hamlet of Windisch-Bockenfeld on the outskirts of Leuzendorf, with the addition of Windisch to its name, is one of the westernmost places whose name suggests an early medieval Slavic settlement. The name of Böhmweiler (4 km north and a little east) also suggests a Slavic past.
The place Schrozberg was first mentioned in 1249. From the year 1054 comes a document according to which Emperor Heinrich III. enfeoffed Count Emehard von Rothenburg with the place Riedbach. Bartenstein was first mentioned in a document in 1234 and has been the residence of the county since 1686 and of the Principality of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein since 1743 . Between 1500 and 1806 Hohenlohe was part of the Franconian Empire , including Schrozberg.
Württemberg time
Between 1802 and 1810, as part of the mediatization, all sub-locations in the area of today's town of Schrozberg, which had previously belonged to the Principality of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, the Principality of Ansbach or the Imperial City of Rothenburg, were part of a partly Bavarian interlude to the Kingdom of Württemberg . Due to the border treaty of 1810 , the previously Bavarian towns of Leuzendorf and Spielbach also became part of Württemberg. Since 1811, almost all places in today's town of Schrozberg have been assigned to the Gerabronn Oberamt . Ettenhausen belonged to the Oberamt Künzelsau . In 1869 the Crailsheim – Königshofen railway was opened with the Schrozberg station connecting it to the network of the Royal Württemberg State Railways . During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Schrozberg came to the Crailsheim district in 1938 .
post war period
Since Schrozberg had become part of the American zone of occupation after the Second World War , the community had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
Today's town of Schrozberg was created as part of the administrative reform in Baden-Württemberg through several incorporations. On January 1, 1972, Riedbach and Schmalfelden were initially incorporated, followed by Spielbach on April 1, 1972 . On January 1, 1973, in addition to Leuzendorf, the town of Bartenstein was incorporated, whereupon the community of Schrozberg itself was raised to town. The district reform in Baden-Württemberg also took place on January 1, 1973 , when the new town of Schrozberg became part of the Schwäbisch Hall district. On January 1, 1974, Ettenhausen was incorporated into the city of Schrozberg.

Culture and sights
Buildings
Castle Schrozberg
In the capital itself, the resulting over several centuries is closed Schrozberg worth seeing. Today the castle is the seat of the city administration of Schrozberg. It also houses an event hall, the city library, the Zahn Museum with equipment from the 1950s and rooms used for commercial purposes.
Evangelical Church Schrozberg
The Evangelical Church was built between 1614 and 1618. The interior is painted with a black and white and three-dimensional looking roller and fittings from the Renaissance period. This is largely the original painting, which was exposed again during an interior renovation in 1961/1962, and in some cases it was also supplemented and reconstructed.
In the church there are six epitaphs of the Lords of Berlichingen and the House of Hohenlohe, most of which come from the previous church. The church also has a listed organ, designed by Helmut Bornefeld in 1962 and built by the Link brothers , in a historical prospectus by Johann Anton Ehrlich from 1779. From 2016 to 2018, the interior of the church was completely renovated. Loose plaster was reconnected to the masonry, the scrollwork was refreshed and the high altar was cleaned. In addition to the new electrical installations, a lighting concept was created and implemented.
Schrozburg
On the outskirts there are remains of the former Schrozburg .
Bartenstein
The suburb of Bartenstein is a unique example in Germany of a planned, purely baroque small residence , consisting of the historic town complex with the castle of the princes of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein .
Ettenhausen
In 1785 the renovation of the ailing church from the 13th century began. The plans go back to Johann David Steingruber , building director of the Margrave of Ansbach Brandenburg. Master builder Ernst, court master builder for the princes of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein supervised the construction work. The nave and church tower were almost completely demolished. Only in the lower part of the tower with its meter-thick walls have remains of the defiant structure of the 13th century survived. Since its renovation, the Ettenhauser church has been furnished in the style of the rural regional baroque, with clearly classicistic influences from the following epoch. At that time, the impressive Ansbach pulpit wall was built, with the altar, pulpit and organ with organ prospect arranged one above the other in the eastern part of the church. The idea of these pulpit walls originated in Ansbach and Bayreuth in the 18th century, goes back to master builder Johann David Steingruber and is called the margrave style . The high-quality painting of the pulpit wall, the gilding and woodwork were carried out by the royal court painter Martin Emmert from Bartenstein free of charge as a personal donation. The organ comes from Philipp Heinrich Hasenmeier (1700–1785) from Kirchberg / Jagst. The large gallery was also created so that the church can accommodate more visitors. The pews on the gallery opposite the pulpit wall were originally intended for male visitors. The inscription on the south portal commemorates the person who commissioned the renovation in 1785, Prince Ludwig Carl Franz Leopold zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein
Riedbach
In the Riedbach district there are still small remains of the medieval Alt-Bartenstein Castle on a mountain spur and the remains of Riedbach Castle on Riedbacher Strasse .
The Protestant Church of Riedbach :
Prince Ludwig Leopold zu Hohenlohe Bartenstein approved the construction of the church, which was almost destroyed by the lightning strike, and assumed the construction costs. In 1762 the prince-bishop-Fulda court architect Andrea Gallasini provided the sketch drawings. He received 1250 guilders for this. (One half of the house on Schlossplatz in Bartenstein cost 500 guilders at the same time, the annual salary of the court marshal von Bartenstein was 300 guilders) The exact construction contract with the individual construction phases has been preserved in the Hohenlohe central archive in Neuenstein , the construction drawings are unfortunately lost. Master mason Andreas Bader from Bartenstein worked closely with Gallasini. The dilapidated church was torn down to the foundation walls and the nave was given its current octagonal shape. The church community financed the interior of the church, the altar and the organ with donations. Master builder Andreas Gallasini took part in the grand opening ceremony in his capacity as Hohenlohisch Bartenstein building director. He died very old in 1766 at the age of 86 in Bartenstein.
