history

Weiler was first mentioned in 1455 as the property of the Lords of Rechberg-Hohenrechberg on Kellmünz . In 1679 the Lords of Rechberg sold the Osterberg estate to Johann Michael Meyer von Röfingen on Bühl. In the course of the upheavals at the beginning of the 19th century, like the entire Osterberg rule, it came under Bavaria . Until 1978, Weiler was an independent municipality. Since May 1, 1978 it has belonged to the Osterberg community.

The St. Johannes Baptista chapel, which was built in 1674 on the site of a previous chapel and enlarged in 1698, was followed by a pilgrimage.
