The lords of Thierbach collected customs and were servants of the lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck.
The Brauneck line died out in 1390 and the fief went back to the bishop of Würzburg. The lords of Thierbach received Jagstberg as a fief in 1409.
From 1410 Rothenburg owned most of the goods in Wildentierbach.

The great wall is the ruins of the castle.
The castle was probably built around 1180 by the lords of Brauneck.
The castle was destroyed by Hans Melchior von Rosenberg zu Halteberstetten (Prince of Niederstetten) in 1509 and never rebuilt.
The Rosenberg feud was negotiated before the Kaiser at the Reichstag.
Rothenburg received no compensation for the losses.

The community well used to be in the middle of the crossing.
When the houses still had no water supply, the cattle were driven to the well to drink in the mornings and evenings.
There were 3 wells in the village with drinking troughs for cattle. The water came through pipes from the hamlet spring that used to belong to Hohenweiler.
There was no drinking trough in the upper alley because the water pressure from the hamlet spring was not for it
enough.
In 1847 District Administrator Fromm wrote that the springs dried up in the summer.
You have to fetch the water with wagons and big barrels.

In 999, a Rothenburg count dedicated the Wildentierbach parish to the Haug (hill) monastery in Würzburg.
Heinrich Graf von Rothenburg was elected and confirmed in 995 as the 17th bishop and prince of Würzburg.
He had the church of St. Stephen built and also the famous Haug Abbey (church) in Würzburg from his property. He died in 1018.

The Würzburg foundations served to finance churches.
The parish later went to the Neumünster monastery in Würzburg.
I.e. Wildentierbach already had its own parish in the 11th century.

A canon of the respective monastery was also the head pastor and the pastorate could only be filled with his consent.
After the Reformation, when the Protestant pastors from Rothenburg (from 1542) were occupied, this was still the case. It was not until 1806 that pastors were appointed from Stuttgart. The first Württemberg pastor was Pastor Hirsching (1816) who came from Wiesenbach.

The first pastor who is noted was Pastor Eberhart in 1392.
Before that, vicars and preachers presumably held the service.
The first evangelical pastor was Johann Reuss (1549) and was appointed from Rothenburg.

The village school was set up in Wildentierbach in 1562.
The first Christian school regulations were created by Pastor Zacharias Groß in 1595.
