MERGENTHEIM

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 164 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MERGENTHEIM , a town of Germany, in the kingdom of
Wurttemberg
 , situated in the valley of the Tauber, 7 M. S. from Lauda by rail. Pop. (1905), 4535 It contains an Evangelical and three Roman Catholic churches, a Latin and other schools, and a magnificent castle with a natural history collection and the archives of the Teutonic order. This is now used as barracks. The
industries
  of the town include tanning, the manufacture of agricultural machinery and wine-making. Near the town is a medicinal
spring
  called the Karlsbad.
Mergentheim (Marine domes) is mentioned in chronicles as early as 1058, as the residence of the family of the
counts
  of Hohenlohe, who early in the 13th
century
  assigned the greater
part
  of their estates in and around Mergentheim to the Teutonic order. It rapidly increased in fame, and became the most important of the eleven commanderies of that society. On the secularization of the Teutonic Order in
Prussia
  in 1525, Mergentheim became the residence of the grand master, and remained so until the final dissolution of the order in 1809.
See Honing, Das Karlsbad bei Mergentheim (Mergentheim, 1887); and Schmitt, Garnisongeschichte der Stadt Mergentheim (
Stuttgart
 , 1895).
