History

edit

The villages Erligheim and Bönnigheim were donated to Lorsch Abbey in 793. In 1574, Erligheim was broken per Ganerbschaft into quarters that eventually came into the possession of the Elector of Mainz. Erligheim became a possession of the Duchy of Württemberg in 1785 and was assigned to Oberamt Bönnigheim [de]. The village was transferred in 1808 to Oberamt Besigheim [de], where in 1822 it became an independent municipality. When Oberamt Besigheim was dissolved in 1938, it was replaced with the newly organized Landkreis Ludwigsburg, to which Erligheim was assigned.[3]
