history

The place is first mentioned in a document in 1100 as "Wateringun". The place name is based on the personal name Watheri, which was derived from the affiliation suffix -ingen . The place name means With the people of Watheri .

In 1406 the imperial city of Rothenburg bought Wettringen and the neighboring towns from the Hohenlohe house . In 1637 the place burned down as much as possible as a result of the 30-year war . Also in 1688 the place was largely destroyed by French murder burners. In 1804 there were 65 community rights in the village, all of which were subject to the imperial city of Rothenburg.

With the municipal edict (early 19th century), the Wettringen tax district was formed, to which the places Gailroth , Leitsweiler , Löffelmühle, Reichenbach , Seemühle , Taubermühle and Thomasmühle belonged. A little later , the wettringen rural community was formed with Grüb , Löffelmühle, Reichenbach, Seemühle, Taubermühle and Thomasmühle . It was subordinate to the regional court of Rothenburg in administration and jurisdiction . In 1961 the municipality had an area of ​​13.616 km².

The reason for the coat of arms: The Dreiberg represents the location of the place at the foot of the Frankenhöhe , the silver wave bar represents the Tauber , which rises in the municipality. Key and sword are the attributes of Saints Peter and Paul and point to the church in Wettringen, which is consecrated to them.
