History
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.
