be assumed from flurnamen. In 7. - 8. Century had Osburg probably already a church. First
documentary mention was in the year 940. The name
Osburg is derived possibly from the
oldhigh-German "Hotz"=Schutz, thus protection castle. In 13. and 14. Century are testified
knights of Osburg. In the dreissigjaehrigen war (1618- 1648) the Osburg was probably
destroyed. one built a new church for 1741 in Osburg. 1843 had Osburg of 850 inhabitants. 1869 1055 inhabitants.
