history

middle Ages

The place was first mentioned in a document in 823 as villa Soagra and in 846 as Sweigra (to Schweige = cattle hut). It is probably a development settlement from the Frankish times that belonged to the Boxberg rule. A ministerial family can be traced from the early 12th to the middle of the 15th century, most recently in the service of the Counts of Wertheim. A former castle has risen in what will later be the rectory. A second castle is said to have existed above the village in the direction of Boxberg. In 1357 Schweigern was owned by the von Rosenbergs and their relatives. In 1397, King Wenceslas granted the village a neck-court , stick and gallows. A quarter of Schweigern were fiefdoms for the Klinkhart in the 15th century.

Modern times

Opening rights in the castle and village of Schweigern were granted in 1518 by Georg von Rosenberg to the Margrave of Brandenburg in return for a protection and umbrella letter. In 1524 and 1535, Count Palatine Ludwig V acquired the village by buying two halves each. From 1561 on, Schweigern was part of the Palatinate Oberamt and the Boxberg tenth and from then on shared its history. The place was once fortified by a moat. In 1803 the place came to the principality of Leiningen before it became Baden in 1806. The office membership is identical to that of Boxberg.

On December 1, 1972 Boxberg merged with Schweigern and Wölchingen to form the new town of Boxberg.
