18th Century In 1774, the widow Margravine Maria Viktoria Pauline von Arenberg moved her residence from
Baden-Baden to Ottersweier to establish a convent school for the
Augustinian choir nuns in the former residence of the Jesuits. In the convent school, young girls learned skills they needed as future mothers and educators. Ottersweier was long part of the
Bühl district and, after its dissolution in 1973, became part of the
Rastatt district. ==Twin cities==
