Location of the community of Alleshausen in the district of Biberach

Alleshausen is a small community in the Biberach district in Baden-Württemberg .

geography

location

Alleshausen lies on a hill on the border between the Federseeried and the moraine area of the Riss Ice Age . The community used to be right on the shore of the lake, which silted up more and more over time.

Community structure

The community consists of the eponymous village Alleshausen and the hamlet of Brasenberg .

history

The Alleshausen settlement was probably created in the early medieval older expansion period. The place name probably goes back to an early settler.

According to tradition, Alleshausen came into the possession of the St. Blasien monastery through a gift from Rudolf von Rheinfelden († 1080) . The place is first mentioned in 1150 as Aleshusin , 1254 it is mentioned as Alashusen .

In the 13th century an Ulrich von Alhusen is attested as a ministerial of Count Hartmann von Grüningen , whose name can be traced back to a seat near Alleshausen. The name of the settlement can hardly be distinguished from Altshausen because of the spelling that was often the same at the time in medieval sources , which means that this attribution is not clear. In any case, a ministerial castle south of the village can be traced back to the 17th century.

The district Brasenberg is first attested as Brahsenberg in 1347 .

In 1446 the monastery of St. Blasien acquired the Vogtei Alleshausen from the owners of the Austrian rule of Warthausen , in 1477 it sold the place to the monastery Marchtal .

In the course of secularization , Alleshausen and Marchtal passed into the possession of Thurn und Taxis in 1803 , who administered it as part of the imperial duchy of Buchau before it fell under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 as part of the mediatization . Alleshausen was administered as part of the Riedlingen District Office, and in 1938 it became part of the Saulgau district . With its dissolution in 1973, the place became part of the Biberach district .

Witch trials in Alleshausen

In the time of witch trials compared to Upper Swabia were in Alleshausen witch hunts conducted with particular intensity. These witch trials in the legal jurisdiction of the Marchtal Imperial Abbey begin in the 16th century and continue into the 18th century. Three waves of persecution can be distinguished: between 1586 and 1596, around 1627/1628 and between 1745 and 1757.

The peculiarity of the Marchtal witch trials is the persecution panic still in the middle of the 18th century, which killed seven women. At least 60 death sentences against alleged magical delinquents can be proven from the Marchtal witch trial files.

The initiative on which the Marchtal witch trials were founded was a local zeal for persecution, which can be demonstrated in particular for the village of Alleshausen. Alleshausen can be described as an area of special legal status within the territory of the Reichskloster Marchtal. In particular, the high percentage of land owned by the farmers led to constant conflicts between the subjects, who insisted on separate rights and privileges, and the rule of the monastery, which did not want to grant this special position. In this power struggle, the subjects from Alleshausen, mainly the local elite, demonstrated their ability to assert themselves in many cases, including with regard to the persecution of witches. In particular for the last wave of lawsuits, there is a clear correlation between the size of owner-occupied property in Alleshausen, membership of the village elite and the persecution initiative.

In Alleshausen, the witchcraft interpretation pattern basically served as an interpretation sheet for various cases of damage that the farmers saw provoked against them. Family tensions and class conflicts were institutionalized with the suspicions. The village upper class slandered women who they suspected that poverty drove them to sabotage other people's property.

The names of some of the Alleshauser victims were:

Anna Grätter from Alleshausen on May 3, 1588, Margreta Menz or Schillingerin from Alleshausen on May 5, 1588, Anna Lepp from Alleshausen on May 12, 1588, Agathe Hegeler from Alleshausen on May 12, 1588, Georg Mayer on May 12, 1588.

In the files it says: "These five poor people have admitted their wrongdoing in amicable and embarrassing question, are led to the high court by the messenger Master Hans von Biberach and judged with the rope".

Waldburga Zeiller from Alleshausen on July 18, 1592, Anna Träub from Alleshausen on March 24, 1627, Anna Fischer from Alleshausen on March 26, 1627.

They were beheaded and the cremated bodies buried underground. "The Almighty good God should give them grace so that they may fight knightly for eternal life."

1745–1757: Barbara Getschler, Magdalena Füder, Anna Oberländer, Catharina Schmid , Maria Bingasser, Maria Tornhäuser.

Religions

Chapel of St. Blaise

Alleshausen is strongly Roman Catholic and has always belonged to the parish Seekirch of the pastoral care unit Federsee (based in Bad Buchau ) in the Riedlingen dean's office in the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese . A branch chapel built by the St. Blasien monastery is attested in the village as early as 1254. After the sale of the place to the Marchtal monastery, the still existing chapel of St. Blasius was built in 1486 at the instigation of Abbot Simon Götz .

The Protestant Christians belong to the Bad Buchau parish in the Riedlingen deanery of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
