Hettigenbeuern is a Stadtteil in Buchen, Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis.

Hettigenbeuern is believed to have been established at the time of the Frankish conquest in the sixth and seventh centuries. The first written reference dates back to 1306 as an independent parish and a clearing settlement of the Amorbach Abbey that originally owned the land. Upon the establishment of the parish, a church was built on the cemetery grounds. The church was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, and the gothic-revival style reconstruction of the presently standing church began in 1903.

Hettigenbeuern was owned by the lords of Adelsheim, then würzburgisch, finally, half of the town into the hands of the young Götz von Berlichingen. From that time dates the current Götzenturm (then living and tower). [1] A coat of stone, which bears the date 1414, and excavations are the last remnants of a castle, the castle stood on the hump. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, and so was the historical church that marked the Stadtteil 's founding.

An upward trend has been the 19th Hettigenbeuern Recorded century, due to the commercial cultivation of tobacco in the community. The climate and soil conditions are ideal for growing quality tobacco. Hettigenbeuern was the "tobacco metropolitan" called the Odenwald. The tobacco barns still influence the townscape.

1806 came to Hettigenbeuern Baden, the merger of the new Book City in 1974.
