history

Wennedach with Chapel of St. Simon and Jude Thaddäus (2006)

The place above the Rohrbach was first mentioned in a document in 1275. The name could indicate the settlement of a non-Alemannic group, perhaps of Romanesque origin. In the middle of the village, about 250 m south of the chapel, there is a circular (30 × 35 m) hill with a ditch on the mountain side, on which a castle mentioned in 1439 stood. In 1442 the heirs of Heinrich von Freyberg and Walter von Stadion sold the town and its subjects to the monastery of the Cistercians in Heggbach , where he stayed until 1806. From 1806 to 1918 the Wennedacher family were subjects of the Kingdom of Württemberg . During this time Wennedach received a connection and station to the railway line of the Öchsle narrow-gauge railway .

Wennedach later became part of the Reinstetten community . On December 1, 1971, Reinstetten was incorporated into Ochsenhausen.
