history

Catholic Church of St. Wolfgang

Weiler was first mentioned in 1244 as Wilaere (then Burgweiler) and was responsible for supplying the Rotenburg (today: Weilerburg ). There were frequent droughts and periods of drought, which resulted in crops not growing and people suffering from thirst. There used to be two chapels in the hamlet, St. Jodokus (1339) and St. Wolfgang (approx. 1450). The St. Jodokus Chapel used to be the actual place of worship in the village, although the chapel was three kilometers from the village. This chapel was demolished in 1809 and the foundations were almost completely removed. Today only a wayside shrine reminds of the former chapel. The parish church of St. Wolfgang was built in the Weinbrenner style in 1828 on the old site of the St. Wolfgang Chapel.

From 1381 Weiler belonged to Front Austria and from the end of Front Austria to the Kingdom of Württemberg . In 1884, under the direction of Karl von Ehmann, a single-cylinder piston pump with diesel / oil drive and an engine house were built, which is said to have been one of the first in the Kingdom of Württemberg . Despite this water supply, there were always water shortages and problems with the cleanliness of the water in Weiler, so that the health department in the hamlet town hall was a permanent guest. Since 1849 there has been a bakery with a wood oven in the old town center of Weilers . There you can bake or buy fresh bread two to three times a week. The two hamlet inns have long been closed, so that the hamlet citizens are dependent on organizing their own parties. There used to be a school, a teacher's house, a wine press and a poor house in Weiler. Up until the Second World War, wine was grown around today's Weilerburg (formerly Rotenburg). The wine press was badly damaged by a bomb strike in 1945 and had to be demolished as a result. Since 2011 there has been a mobile nutcracker lift in Weiler in winter , which was purchased for skiers and snowboarders.

Weiler has been part of the large district town of Rottenburg am Neckar since December 1, 1971 .
