Ölberg is the name of a residential area in the town of Ditzingen in the middle Glems Valley. The group of houses is a little in front of the Zechlesmühle on the left slope of the Glems .

history

The Mount of Olives was already listed as a place to live in the Württemberg State Handbook from 1942, but was not yet officially recognized at the time. The Ditzingen municipal council initiated the ordinary nomination procedure by resolution of January 10, 1961. After the approval of the main state archive , the Württemberg State Office for Folklore, the State Statistical Office and the State Surveying Office, the designation as a place to live was approved and publicly announced in accordance with Section 2, Paragraph 4 of the 1st Implementing Ordinance on the Municipal Code.

Surname

At the Ölberg is mentioned as a field name in the Ditzinger Fleckenbuch from 1524 . It is either derived from a lost wayside shrine with the Gethsemani scene or is a shortened version from Ölschlägberg and then refers to the oil mill that stood on the site of today's Zechlesmühle. The nearby field name Zu den Schächern points to the first derivation, the field names Ölschlägwiesen and In der Ölschläg to the second . Presumably, the oil mill is preferable as the namesake.
