Weikersheim is a town in the

Main-Tauber district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany
.

History

German mediatization from 1806 to 1809, Weikersheim was awarded to the Kingdom of Württemberg, whose government assigned the city to Oberamt Mergentheim [de]. In 1938, the Oberamt was reorganized as Landkreis Mergentheim [de], under whose jurisdiction Weikersheim remained. From 1 January 1972 to 1 January 1975, Weikersheim incorporated eight municipalities. In that time, Baden-Württemberg reorganized its administrative structure [de], and as a result Weikersheim was assigned to the newly-created Main-Tauber district. In 2000, the old town and palace were placed under protection as cultural monuments.[3]
