History

In the 10th and 11th centuries, Bavarian settlers wandered from Nabburg to the east. Weiding was founded before 1270 and is one of the oldest villages of the region. [3] It frequently changed ownership and in 1803, it was finally sold to the Earl of Du Moulin-Eckart to whom it still belongs today. [4]

Geography

Weiding is located on a plateau with the mountain Frauenstein to the southwest and the Hüttenbach-valley to the east, with the hamlets Reimermühle, Sägmühle, Andreasthal and Löwenthal. [5]

Religion

In 1280 a stone church of St. Nikolaus is mentioned in an urbarium. [7] It was destroyed by the Hussites in the 15th century. [8] The rebuilt church burned down in 1836. [9] The current church was built in 1842 and like the others dedicated to St. Nikolaus. [10] To the parish of Weiding belong also the church St. Laurentius of Schönau and the church St. Michael of Hannesried. [11] 95% of the inhabitants of Weiding are Catholics. [12]

Neckar-Odenwald Limes

The Neckar-Odenwald Limes is a collective term for two, very different early sections of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, a Roman defensive frontier line that may have been utilised during slightly different periods in history. The Neckar-Odenwald Limes consists of the northern Odenwald Limes (Odenwaldlimes), a cross-country limes with camps, watchtowers and palisades, which linked the River Main with the Neckar, and the adjoining southern Neckar Limes (Neckarlimes), which in earlier research was seen as a typical 'riverine limes', whereby the river replaced the function of the palisade as an approach obstacle. More recent research has thrown a different light on this way of viewing things that means may have to be relativized in future. The resulting research is ongoing.
