history

Early history

Since the early Neolithic there have been finds from all prehistoric periods on the Aldinger district. From the Early Bronze Age , a large cemetery belonging to the Neckar group was found in today's Halden residential area . In the 19th century the remains of several Roman manors were found , one of them in what is now Pattonville's settlement area. Another of these manors was the origin of a local legend, which was widespread into the 19th century, of a castle on the right bank of the Neckar that had disappeared.

Several Suebi graves from the early Merovingian period were found along the road from Aldingen to Pattonville . Despite numerous other temporally fitting grave finds in Aldinger district, mostly in the area of ​​today's Pattonville, it has not been conclusively clarified where the settlement belonging to these graves was. It was probably given up again before the place where it is today was founded. In any case, there are no finds from the late 6th century.

Foundation of the place and naming

Further finds from the Alemannic period were made again from the 7th century, this time in the area of ​​today's residential buildings in Aldingen. The courtyards belonging to these finds were probably merged in medieval Aldingen. The ending of the place name in -ingen also indicates a foundation from the Alemannic period. In addition, a church is said to have been in Aldingen as early as the 7th or 8th century. The first documentary mention was in the Hirsauer Codex for the year 1100 when Winther von Oßweil donated the church of the village, then still called Almendingen , including four Hufen land to the Hirsau monastery. The church was a predecessor of today's Margaretenkirche.

The name Almendingen used in early sources refers to a founder of the place possibly named Alamund . The interpretations of the place name as "with the blood relatives of Alamund" or "with the people who live in the settlement founded by Alamund" are possible.

Kaltental rule

View from Kieser's forest inventory book (1682)

The lords of Kaltental received local rule in Aldingen as a fiefdom from Count Ulrich von Asperg in 1278 . They then left their original seat, Burg Kaltental, and moved to Aldingen. Around this time, the first aristocratic residence was built in Aldingen - popularly known as the Schlössle . The Schlössle and the church formed a castle complex. When it fell victim to a fire in the 18th century, it was not rebuilt, so that only remnants of the wall are preserved today.

As part of the county of Asperg, Aldingen came to Württemberg in 1308 . In 1500 the construction of the late Gothic St. Margaret's Church was completed by master builder Hans von Ulm . The church now served both as a village church and as a burial place for the Lords of Kaltental. From the 16th century the people of Kaltental and their Gut Aldingen were registered in the knight canton of Kocher . In 1568 Heinrich von Kaltental introduced the Reformation and in 1580 had the so-called Outer Castle built. The village order of 1578 gave the citizens of Aldingen the freedom to choose between Protestant and Catholic faith. The Neckar ferry, which later became the Aldinger coat of arms, was also mentioned in these village regulations. During the Thirty Years' War , Aldingen was badly affected, including the mill and bath house. Aldingen was also sacked by French troops during the War of the Palatinate Succession , among other things the church bells fell victim to them.

The originally good relationship between the lords of Kaltental and Württemberg deteriorated with the founding of Ludwigsburg, as the fields of the Aldinger farmers were now in the middle of the hunting grounds of the dukes of Württemberg. This repeatedly led to disputes. After Georg Wolf von Kaltental died childless as the last representative of the Aldingen line of Kaltental, the place went completely to Württemberg at the behest of Duke Carl Eugen in 1746. Georg Wolf's cousins ​​received financial compensation in 1750. In 1769 the knight canton of Kocher also waived its claims.

From the 19th century to the present

As part of Württemberg, Aldingen came to the Ludwigsburg Oberamt and thus finally to its successor, the Ludwigsburg district. Wine was grown in Aldingen until the 19th century, as the historical wine press testifies to. From 1910 to 1926 Aldingen was connected to the Ludwigsburg overhead line railways . In 1913, a footbridge was built over the Neckar for the first time, replacing the Neckar ferry. In the 1930s, Aldingen changed its appearance significantly by straightening and channeling the Neckar. The barrage with the weir bridge was built in this context. The associated lock system could no longer be put into operation before the outbreak of the Second World War . In 1945, the bridge was almost blown up by the Wehrmacht, and advancing French troops were able to thwart it. In 1956 the lock system was finally put into operation. Schools and sports fields were built on the area gained by straightening the Neckar. In 1955 the US Army established the Pattonville settlement essentially on the Aldingen district.

On January 1, 1975, Aldingen became part of the newly formed community of Remseck am Neckar, which until 1977 was called Aldingen am Neckar. Aldinger had previously signed an incorporation contract with the city of Ludwigsburg, against which an objection was raised in the state parliament. Albert Erhardt was the last mayor of Aldingen.

In 1999 the tram extension via Aldingen to Neckargröningen was inaugurated.

Aldinger legends

Various legends have been passed down from Aldingen , which can be classified in the area of ​​simple folk tales . Many of the legends have to do with supernatural ghosts. A castle is said to have once stood on the Neckarwiesen on the opposite side of the river, but it turned out to be the remains of a former Roman estate as early as the 19th century. The ghost of the castle rot is said to have hung laundry there at night. The Aldinger farmers then concluded from the sighting of the ghost that the weather would change. There are also supposed to have been helpful spirits, such as the Veltle , which worked together with other spirits in the Aldinger vineyards.

Sometimes the seemingly supernatural also turns out to be everyday. The legend of the Holzbachgeist tells of a farmer who had to repair a pen near the Holzbach during a storm at night. It was supposedly haunted there, which is why the other villagers advised him not to go there. When the farmer noticed a shadow during his repair work, he suspected it was the Holzbachgeist and attacked him with a beating - only to discover that it was just a runaway rabbit.

Furthermore, real events and disasters are associated with supernatural work. So the fire that destroyed the Aldinger Schlössle was explained by the fact that the last owner of the building was a godless person who mocked a pious maid until God punished him with a lightning strike and thus started the fire. The tunnel that was supposed to lead from Schlössle to Neckarrems also belongs in the area of ​​legends.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the former municipality of Aldingen am Neckar
 Blazon : "In blue on green waves a golden sailing ship with superstructures, in the bow a standing skipper with black trousers and a bare chest, holding a golden oar."
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms pointed to the Neckar ferry near Aldingen and was seen in the community seals since 1746. The colors were set in 1938. Before 1746, the lords of Kaltental used their family coat of arms, which shows silver deer antlers with grind on a red background. This coat of arms was also used by the municipality of Kaltental until it was incorporated into Stuttgart in 1922. The main colors of the Aldinger ship - gold on blue - were also used as the main colors for the newly created Remseck flag and for the Remseck coat of arms. Its coat of arms images come from the coats of arms of other Remseck districts.
