geography
Wüstenhausen is about three kilometers northeast of Ilsfeld. Stettenfels Castle rises about one kilometer north of the village near Untergruppenbach .
history
In the small field between Wüstenhausen and the Landturm residential area, there was a Roman villa rustica in Roman times around 200 AD , the remains of which were likely to be seen for a long time and which was probably the desolate house that later gave the nearby town its name. Wüstenhausen was a settlement that was probably founded by Ilsfeld in the 12th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1330 as villa Husen . At first there was one manor house and later two manor houses. In 1401 a patrician Lutwin from Heilbronn sold a manor in Wüstenhausen to the Count Palatine. A Liebfrauenkapelle is mentioned as early as 1400.
Various noble families had possessions in the village: early on, the lords of Heinriet and the counts of Löwenstein , and later the lords of Sturmfeder , who sat at Stettenfels Castle . In 1368 the place, but not the manor, with Ilsfeld fell to Württemberg , with Wüstenhausen lying outside the Württemberg Landgraben , which ran a little south of the place at the Wüstenhausen Landturm.
In 1460 there was the battle of Wüstenhausen, in which the Württemberg Count Ulrich the much-beloved met Count Palatine Friedrich the Victorious and defeated him. A fresco in the Alexander Church in Marbach am Neckar commemorates two knights who fell in this battle.
With the rule of Stettenfels, Wüstenhausen (or just the manor house) came to the Lords of Helmstatt in 1462 . After the Württemberg Duke Ulrich had conquered the town of Weinsberg and the rule of Stettenfels in 1504 , the Wüstenhausen Herrenhof also came to Württemberg. During the Peasants' War , Wüstenhausen shared the history of the Stettenfels rulership and was spared from destruction due to the farmer-friendly attitude of the tenant Konrad Thumb von Neuburg . In 1527 the rule went to Wolf Philipp von Hirnheim , who introduced the Reformation in Wüstenhausen in 1536 .
When the rule of Stettenfels came to the Catholic Counts Fugger after the Schmalkaldic War in 1546 , this led to a division of the population in Wüstenhausen. Politically, the place has always belonged to Ilsfeld, ecclesiastically and in terms of school, however, the residents of the manor houses belonged to Untergruppenbach, the residents of the rest of the larger hamlet to Auenstein . This separation lasted until 1971, when all Protestant residents came to Untergruppenbach church.
Since Wüstenhausen has always been part of Ilsfeld politically, it came with this in 1808 to the Oberamt Besigheim and with its dissolution in 1938 to the district of Heilbronn . Since the second half of the 19th century there has been a local head of the district called a lawyer in Wüstenhausen . This position was the prerogative of the Michelfelder family for several decades; the last lawyer was the farmer Ernst Lutz from 1945 until his death in 1970.
Attractions
Remains of the choir of an early Gothic Liebfrauenkapelle have been preserved in Wüstenhausen . The chapel was probably built in the 13th century and was first mentioned in 1400. In terms of the dimensions of the choir, the chapel was not a field chapel, but a larger church building. When and why the service was abandoned is unknown. The building was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and has not been rebuilt since then, the remaining part of the building has served as an agricultural outbuilding since then. The former manor houses, one of which is believed to be in the area of the later Lutz estate, have been completely lost. The land tower a little south of the village is a relic of the Württemberg land moat .
