Walking tour in Germany, Baden–Württemberg with E-Scooter

Langenbrettach, the place looks back on a long and rich history. Traces of settlement can be traced back to the Celtic period (ca. 360 BC). The first Alemannic settlement (ca. 350 AD) was probably called Odoldinga. This name could be contained in the field name Wettlingen. The Franks conquered and Christianized the Alemanni around 500 AD and founded a new village west of Odoldinga with the name Brettach (breit aha = wide meadow). In 1261 the Brettach village nobility is mentioned for the first time. For a long time Brettach belonged to the lords of the Gaugrafschaft Weinsberg. Later, different lordships shared the possession of the peasant estates. Around 1400 Brettach already counted 400 inhabitants. In the 16th century the population was doing so well that it grew strongly. In 1544 the people of Brettach built their second wine press, this time very large. On the upper floor and in the transverse building were the council hall and the administrative rooms. The winepress and the old town hall were destroyed in 1945. In 1504 the constant change of rulers came to an end: the Elector Palatines and the other lords had to cede Brettach to the Duke of Württemberg. Since then the village has been Württemberg. Under Duke Ulrich, the Reformation began here in 1534. His son, Duke Christoph, completed it around 1540. A quiet period followed under the rule of the Württembergers. However, the 30 Years War interrupted the relative prosperity for several decades. Landsknechte repeatedly occupied, looted and pillaged the village; hunger, disease and death were the result. In 1635 the plague raged. Through the cemetery gate, built in 1613 and from then on called "plague gate", the survivors carried their dead to a mass grave. It was not until the end of the 17th century, decades after the devastating religious war, that the worst consequences were eliminated.
