The Evangelical Church District Bad Cannstatt (until 1994 Evangelical Church District Cannstatt) was one of the last 51 church districts or deaneries of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . With effect from January 1, 2008, it was combined with the three other church districts of Stuttgart Stuttgart , Degerloch and Zuffenhausen to form the church district of Stuttgart . The area of ​​the church district Bad Cannstatt lives on as the deanery district Bad Cannstatt within the church district Stuttgart.

geography

The church district Bad Cannstatt was in the middle of the Württemberg regional church. Its area included the Stuttgart districts of Bad Cannstatt , Hedelfingen , Mühlhausen (excluding the districts of Freiberg and Mönchfeld), Münster , Obertürkheim , Untertürkheim and Wangen and the Frauenkopf district of the Stuttgart-East district .

Neighboring church districts

The church district Bad Cannstatt bordered the following church districts (starting clockwise in the east): Waiblingen (Prelature Heilbronn), Esslingen , Degerloch , Stuttgart and Zuffenhausen (all Prelature Stuttgart).

history

The dean's office in Bad Cannstatt (formerly known as Spezialsuperintendentur Cannstatt) was established in 1535, after the Reformation was introduced in Württemberg. It is one of the oldest deaneries of the regional church. The Dean's office was identical to the Cannstatt Oberamt, which was abolished in 1923. It initially belonged to the Adelberg Generalate, from 1810 to Urach, from 1823 to Ludwigsburg and from 1933 to the Prelature of Stuttgart. In the course of the abolition of the Stuttgart District Office and the incorporation of some communities into the City of Stuttgart, the area of ​​the Cannstatt Dean's Office was enlarged.

Effective April 1, 1922, the Feuerbach parish moved from the Plieningen church district to the Cannstatt church district. As a result of the dissolution of some districts or higher offices in Württemberg in 1939, the church administrative districts were also partially restructured. So with effect from April 1, 1939, the parishes of Rommelshausen and Stetten in the Remstal were reclassified into the parish of Waiblingen. In return, the Cannstatt parish received the Heumaden parish from the Plieningen parish, the Weilimdorf parish from the Leonberg parish and the Zuffenhausen parish from the Ludwigsburg parish. With effect from April 1, 1947, the parish of Heumaden was reclassified into the now church district Degerloch. At the same time the parish of Sillenbuch was assigned to the parish of Degerloch.

As a result of the population growth in the Stuttgart area, the new church district of Zuffenhausen was formed on January 1, 1965 from the western area of ​​the church district of Cannstatt. On January 1, 1990, the church district of Cannstatt was reduced again, in which the parishes not belonging to the city of Stuttgart, the entire parish of Fellbach with its parishes and the parishes of Schmiden and Oeffingen were assigned to the parish of Waiblingen. With this the church district of Cannstatt reached its final expansion. With effect from July 28, 1994, it was renamed the Bad Cannstatt church district.

In order to create a unified church system within the city limits of Stuttgart, the "Evangelical City Association Stuttgart" was founded in 1983, to which the three other Stuttgart church districts (Degerloch, Stuttgart and Zuffenhausen) also belonged in addition to the Bad Cannstatt church district. The city association met once a year for a large gathering. The parishes and diaconal institutions in the city of Stuttgart (e.g. the “Evangelical Society” and the “House of the Family”) were represented with a seat and a vote. The city association was headed by an elected chairman, who was one of the four deans (since 1999 it was city dean Hans-Peter Ehrlich). On January 1, 2008, the four church districts and the Stuttgart city association were merged into a single church district of Stuttgart .

Head of the church district

The church district was headed by the district synod , the church district committee (KBA) and the dean. The last dean since 1993 was Gustav-Adolf Dinkelaker (1944–2011), who is also one of the pastors at the town church in Bad Cannstatt . He is still dean of the dean's district Bad Cannstatt within the church district of Stuttgart.
