history

Community merger

The community of Gäufelden was newly formed on July 1, 1971 through the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent communities of Nebringen, Öschelbronn and Tailfingen, after the majority of the citizens had voted in favor. Since then, the number of inhabitants has more than doubled.

Regional historical affiliation of the predecessor communities

When the Kingdom of Württemberg was established in 1806, the Protestant old - Württemberg predecessor communities Nebringen, Ober- and Unteröschelbronn (united to form Öschelbronn from 1824) and Tailfingen were in the Oberamt Herrenberg , which did not change during the time of the People's State from 1919. It was not until the administrative reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era that they came to the Böblingen district in 1938 . From 1945 to 1952 the three communities Nebringen, Öschelbronn and Tailfingen were part of the state of Württemberg-Baden in the American zone of occupation . Since 1952 they belonged to the administrative district of North Württemberg in the newly established state of Baden-Württemberg.

Nebringen

The place, mentioned for the first time in the 12th century in connection with Hirsau property, came to the County of Württemberg in 1382 from the Count Palatine of Tübingen . Ecclesiastically Nebringen originally belonged to the parish Validstein , became independent at the end of the Middle Ages and came with the Reformation in 1534 as a branch to Tailfingen ( Evangelical Dean's Office Herrenberg ). In Nebringen, on the occasion of the construction of the B 14 bypass, a large number of Celtic graves with rich grave goods were uncovered. The secured grave goods can be viewed in the Württemberg State Museum . The former railway attendant's house, which inspired the sculptor Lutz Ackermann to create the “Kunst-Kraft-Werk” (KKW) titled “Kunst-Kraft-Werk” (KKW), is worth seeing . The sculpture park is open on the first Sunday of each month in the summer.

Öschelbronn

The community of Öschelbronn (around 1150 Eskelbrunnen) was created in 1824 through the agreement on the merger of Ober- and Unteröschelbronn. Until 1612 Oberöschelbronn was gradually acquired by the Duchy of Württemberg from the property of the Lords of Genkingen, Validlingen and others. One half of Unteröschelbronn was bought by the Bebenhausen monastery between 1408 and 1413 from Friedrich von Enzberg and the Reutlingen citizen Peter Remp. After the Reformation, this part became part of Württemberg. The other half changed hands several times until Württemberg took it over too in 1774. The church set in Unteröschelbronn had been with the Bebenhausen monastery since 1402 and came with this to Württemberg. Oberöschelbronn and the half of Unteröschelbronn acquired in 1774 belonged to the old Oberamt Herrenberg . The Bebenhauser half was added in 1807 after the abbey office was dissolved.

Tailfingen

In the 12th century the place is called Dalvingen. Local nobility can be proven from the 12th to the 14th century. In the 12th century, the Hirsau and Reichenbach monasteries, and by the 13th century at the latest, the Alpirsbach and Bebenhausen monasteries received property in Tailfingen. In 1266 Bebenhausen acquired the Alpirsbach estates here. From 1418 to 1457, Württemberg bought the local shares of the monasteries Bebenhausen and Hirsau, Benz-Kechler von Schwandorf, the Sichenpflege zu Reutlingen and Balthasar von Bühel. The church set came from the Lords of Hailfingen to the Sindelfingen Abbey around 1350 and, when it was transferred, to the Tübingen Abbey . Nebringen was a branch of the Evangelical Parish (Deanery Herrenberg). The old rectory near the church, built by the Herrenberg master builder Heinrich Schickhardt in 1614, is privately owned.

There was a night fighter airfield south of Tailfingen from 1937 to 1945 and a concentration camp satellite camp in 1944 and 1945.

Tailfingen was the center of hop growing in the Gäu.
