history

middle Ages

The places Ebingen, Laufen, Lautlingen, Pfeffingen and Tailfingen were mentioned for the first time in a document from the St. Gallen monastery in 793; In 950 Truchtelfingen, 1064 Onstmettingen and Burgfelden and 1275 Margrethausen were first mentioned in a document, all of which are today's urban area. As early as 1285, documents indicate that Ebingen had been granted city rights, and in 1338 the Margrethausen monastery was founded.

Ebingen belonged to the Zollern in the middle of the 11th century and passed to the Counts of Hohenberg during a Zoller inheritance . These pledged the city in 1367 to Württemberg , where it soon became the seat of an office. In 1403 Burgfelden, Laufen, Onstmettingen, Pfeffingen, Tailfingen and Truchtelfingen also came to Württemberg.

Early modern age

With the introduction of the Reformation in Württemberg in 1534 under Duke Ulrich , the towns of Burgfelden, Ebingen, Laufen, Onstmettingen, Pfeffingen, Tailfingen and Truchtelfingen became Protestant. The Constance reformer Ambrosius Blarer worked here on behalf of the duke. In 1550 the local rule of Lautlingen and Margrethausen passed from the Lords of Tierberg to the Lords of Westerstetten, and in 1625 to the Lords of Stauffenberg . In 1805 these two places also came to Württemberg.

Between 1764 and 1770 the “mechanic pastor ” Philipp Matthäus Hahn was the pastor of the community Onstmettingen.

Time of the Kingdom of Württemberg

1807 Official Ebingen was dissolved and the new according administrative divisions Württemberg the Oberamt Balingen allocated; Ebingen was, however, the seat of its own upper and lower office between 1810 and 1817. In 1811 the Margrethausen monastery was dissolved and the parishes of Lautlingen and Margrethausen separated by royal decree. In 1834 there was the first steam engine of the Kingdom of Württemberg in Ebingen, in 1842 the main building of the Stauffenberg Castle in Lautlingen was built in its present form. In 1859, as a late consequence of the dissolution of the monastery, the monastery church and the south wing of the Margrethausen monastery complex were demolished.

Ebingen around 1900

The opening of the " Zollernbahn ", which ran from Tübingen to Sigmaringen, is seen as the beginning of industrialization in this area . With the opening of the railway station in Laufen, Lautlingen and Ebingen in 1878, it was connected to the railway network of the Württemberg State Railways .

In 1892, wall paintings were found in the St. Michael's Church in Burgfelden . On November 16, 1911, today's urban area was badly damaged by an earthquake , particularly the areas of Lautlingen and Margrethausen.

Republic and Nazi era

Since 1918/19, today's urban area was in the free People's State of Württemberg . In 1930 Tailfingen was elevated to a town and in 1934 it was enlarged by the incorporation of Truchtelfingen. During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the area came to the Balingen district in 1938 . On May 28, 1943 there was another earthquake with partly severe damage to buildings.

During the Second World War, a heavy bombing raid was carried out on Ebingen in 1944 and another on Laufen an der Eyach in 1945. In April the French moved in and South Wuerttemberg subsequently belonged to their zone of occupation .

post war period

Today's urban area of ​​Albstadt officially fell to the newly established state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 . From 1952 the area belonged to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern within the new federal state of Baden-Württemberg. In 1956 Ebingen achieved the status of a " major district town ". On July 1, 1971, Burgfelden was incorporated into Pfeffingen. Margrethausen was incorporated into the city of Ebingen on December 1, 1971. On May 1, 1972 Lautlingen and on May 1, 1973 also Laufen an der Eyach were counted to Ebingen. As a result of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , all districts became part of the Zollernalb district on January 1, 1973 .

Albstadt was created on January 1, 1975 through the merger of the towns of Ebingen (with Laufen an der Eyach, Lautlingen and Margrethausen) and Tailfingen (with Truchtelfingen). The communities Onstmettingen and Pfeffingen (with Burgfelden) were added. The merger was prepared in particular by Hans Hoss , Lord Mayor of the large district town of Ebingen, and Horst Kiesecker , Mayor of the city of Tailfingen, and ultimately passed by the municipal councils despite controversial referendums.

On September 3, 1978, the urban area was hit again by a severe earthquake , which caused serious damage to property, but no personal injury. 6,850 buildings were damaged. The damage amounted to 275 million DM.

The Badkap leisure pool was opened in 1980, seven years later the Baden-Württemberg Home Days took place in Albstadt . In 1988, the “Albstadt-Sigmaringen University of Applied Sciences” (today: Albstadt-Sigmaringen University ) was opened, and the following year the Philipp-Matthäus-Hahn-Museum in Albstadt-Onstmettingen. The Maschenmuseum in Tailfingen and the Ebingen Heimatmuseum have existed since 1996. In 2004, the western bypass in Ebingen was completed. In 2007 the Baden-Württemberg Literature Days took place in Albstadt.

religion

Martinskirche Ebingen
Pauluskirche Tailfingen

The following churches and religious communities are represented in Albstadt:

The area of ​​today's city of Albstadt initially belonged to the diocese of Constance and was subordinate to the archdeacon "ante nemus". As a result of belonging to Württemberg, the Reformation was introduced in most parts of the city in 1534 , so that they were predominantly Protestant for many centuries. Only the places Lautlingen and Margrethausen remained with the old faith, because the places belonged as free imperial knighthood to the Lords of Tierberg and they stayed with the old faith. In all Protestant towns there is therefore a Protestant parish and a mostly old, Protestant church. The Protestant parishes in the districts of Burgfelden, Ebingen, Laufen an der Eyach, Onstmettingen, Pfeffingen, Tailfingen and Truchtelfingen belong to the deanery or church district of Balingen of the Evangelical State Church of Württemberg, with others in Tailfingen in addition to the old Peterskirche in the 20th century and Ebingen Churches were built, namely in 1907 the Pauluskirche, in 1953 the Erlöserkirche and in 1965 the Protestant community center on Stiegel.

Due to industrialization, Catholics again moved to Ebingen and Tailfingen in the 19th century, and later to the other Protestant districts of Albstadt. In 1892 the community of Ebingen was able to build its own church of St. Josef, which at the same time was elevated to a parish. Another Catholic church with a parish (Holy Cross) was built in 1965, followed by St. Hedwig's Church from 1973. In Tailfingen, the St. Bonifatius Church was built in 1903, but it was demolished in 1935. Today's Catholic churches in Tailfingen are the St. Elisabeth Church from 1935 and the St. Franziskus Church from 1969. In 1955, the Church of St. Maria was built in Onstmettingen. The parish of St. Margareta in Margrethausen, which owns a church from 1707, also looks after the Catholics in Burgfelden and Pfeffingen. The parish of St. Johann Baptist Lautlingen, whose parish church was rebuilt twice, namely in 1670 after the destruction in the Thirty Years' War again after the earthquake in 1911, also includes the Catholics in Laufen an der Eyach. All Catholic parishes in Albstadt belong to the Balingen deanery of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .

City and community boards

Historical development

At the head of the town of Ebingen, a mayor had stood since the 13th century , who represented the sovereign and judge. From 1659 this was replaced by the bailiff, who in 1759 was named senior bailiff. In addition to the mayor, there was a council (first mentioned in 1353), which was identical to the court. The term “ mayor ” referred to the city's chief financial officer. In 1929 the term “Stadtschultheiß” in Württemberg was replaced by the term “mayor”, which is still valid today. Since Ebingen was elevated to a major district town in 1956, the mayor has been named mayor . This name is also used by the mayor of the city of Albstadt, which was newly formed in 1975. Today the Lord Mayor is elected for a term of eight years. He is chairman of the municipal council and head of the city administration. His general deputies are the 1st alderman with the official title "First Mayor" and the other alderman with the official title "Mayor".

Lord Mayor of Albstadt

Klaus Konzelmann ( Free Voters ) has been Lord Mayor of Albstadt since 2015 .

The election for Mayor in 2015 triggered a nationwide media coverage because the later winner, Klaus Konzelmann, did not officially apply in the first ballot. Nevertheless, he was only slightly behind the previous incumbent Gneveckow and won in the second ballot on March 22, 2015 - supported by the SPD - unexpectedly with 60.2 percent. The turnout was 43.7%. Konzelmann took office on June 1, 2015.

Administrative community

The city ​​of Albstadt has entered into an agreed administrative partnership with the neighboring municipality of Bitz .

Second home tax

Since July 1, 2010, the city of Albstadt has been levying a second home tax of 8% of the annual net rent. The statute for levying a second home tax of June 24, 2010 serves as the legal basis. Students and trainees must also pay this tax.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Albstadt
 Blazon : "Under a golden shield head , inside a left-turned black deer pole , in blue a silver silver thistle flower with six silver thistle leaves arranged in a ray shape."

The city flag is white and blue. The coat of arms and flag were awarded by the Tübingen regional council on April 27, 1976.

Justification of the coat of arms: The Württemberg stag bar indicates that the districts of Albstadt belong to Württemberg. The silver thistle was included in the coat of arms as a typical plant of the Swabian Alb.

Town twinning

Albstadt has had a town partnership with the city of Chambéry in France since 1979 and a development sponsorship with the Bisoro municipality in Burundi ( Africa ).

In the partnership agreement, the cities of Albstadt and Chambéry announced that they wanted to stand up for people in the Third World and therefore financially supported various projects in Africa. This led to the successful development sponsorship concluded in 1993 with the Association of Friends of the Bisoro Community ( Amis de la Commune Bisoro, AACOBI ).

Thanks to donations from the citizens of Albstadt, direct contact and the support of the projects by the UN and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), this sponsorship has enabled several school buildings to be renovated, six new school buildings to be built, as well as several drinking water supply lines and health stations in the African community of Bisoro.
