history

Until the church is planted

Wassertrüdingen Castle

Wassertrüdingen was built as a moated castle in the High Middle Ages . In contrast to Altentrüdingen, the ancestral seat of the noble free von Truhendingen ( Altentrüdingen Castle ) and their later Hohentrüdingen Castle , this new establishment on the Wörnitz was given the name Wassertrüdingen . As the builders of the castle, the castle men of the lords of Truhendingen are called the "Fricken von Wassertrüdingen". As early as 1242, the Lords of Truhendingen ceded the castle to the Counts of Oettingen, who were enfeoffed with it by Bishop Philipp von Eichstätt. This is also the first written mention of the place. A settlement that was first mentioned in 1242 developed rapidly under the influence of the Counts of Oettingen. As early as 1366, Count Ludwig Junior von Oettingen sold the town, palace and castle Wassertrüdingen to Georg von Hohenlohe. In disputes with the Lords of Oettigen, Georg's brother, Gerlach von Hohenlohe, finally sold the castle and town of Wassertrüdingen together with Altentrüdingen to the Burgraves of Nuremberg in 1371 . The Burggräfliche Amt Wassertrüdingen became the margravial Oberamt Wassertrüdingen as its legal successor in the 15th century . As part of Ansbach, the city belonged to the Franconian Imperial Circle formed in 1500 . The Reformation was introduced in 1528 .

In 1623 three women were accused as alleged witches in Wassertrüdingen during the witch hunt, two of whom were executed (Helena Kuch, Apollonia Güttinger) and one was expelled from the country (Barbel Förßnerin). On August 24, 1634, troops from the Electorate of Cologne under Johann von Werth plundered the city during the Thirty Years' War . After the great war, the city and its surroundings became a refuge for numerous religious refugees from Austria who had been expelled as a result of the Counter Reformation and who were involved in the reconstruction. The Napoleonic Wars brought the city, due to troop movements and billeting, expenses and war debts.

Wassertrüdingen was in the Fraisch district of the Ansbach Oberamt Wassertrüdingen . The city regiment was exercised by the mayor and councilor Wassertrüdingen . By the end of the 18th century there were 345 properties. The following Ansbach offices were the landlords :

In addition to these properties, there was a castle, a vestibule with a bailiff's apartment, a deanery, a chaplain’s house, a parish church, a chapel, a synagogue, a town hall, a school house, a shepherd’s house, two gatehouses, a crushing house and a shooting house. From 1797 to 1808 the place was subordinate to the Justice and Chamber Office Wassertrüdingen .

In 1806 Wassertrüdingen came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . As a result of the municipal edict , the Wassertrüdingen tax district was formed in 1809 , to which the towns of Altentrüdingen , Baudenhart , Fallhaus , Stockaumühle and Walkmühle belonged. At the same time, the municipality of Wassertrüdingen was created, to which Baudenhart and Walkmühle belonged. In administration and jurisdiction it was subordinate to the Wassertrüdingen Regional Court and the Wassertrüdingen Rent Office ( renamed Wassertrüdingen Tax Office in 1919 , Gunzenhausen Tax Office 1932–1973 , Ansbach Tax Office from 1973 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Wassertrüdingen until 1879, from 1879 to 1956 the district court Wassertrüdingen was responsible, from 1956 to 1970 the district court Gunzenhausen and from 1970 to 1973 the district court Dinkelsbühl , which has been a branch of the district court Ansbach since 1973 . The administration was taken over by the newly created Dinkelsbühl district office in 1862 (renamed the Dinkelsbühl district in 1938 ). With the dissolution of the Dinkelsbühl district in 1972, Wassertrüdingen came to the Ansbach district. In 1961 the municipality had an area of ​​8.763 km².
