geography

Geographical location

The municipality of Ammerbuch is 345 to 551 meters above sea level, partly on the edge of the Schönbuch nature park and partly in the Ammer valley in the northern Gäu .

geology

Ammerbuch lies in the Gäu, which is characterized by layers of keuper, gypsum and sandstone that are located under the marl, loam and loess soils of the Ammer Valley.

Muschelkalk has been mined in Reusten since 1750; the last quarry was closed in 1970. Gypsum was mined in Breitenholz, Entringen, Poltringen and Altingen, but today only the gypsum quarry in Altingen is in operation. In the southern villages on the Ammer there were occasionally clay pits. In the northern Schönbuch , but also in Breitenholz, sandstone has been quarried since 1383.

The districts are officially named in the form “Ammerbuch-…”, they are spatially identical to the earlier communities of the same name. The council of the municipality Ammerbuch is under the system of partial local election loggerhead chosen, so the districts form as residential areas called constituencies .

The Altingen district includes the village of Altingen and the Gipswerk houses. The districts of Breitenholz, Pfäffingen, Poltringen and Reusten only include the villages of the same name. The Entringen district includes the village of Entringen (administrative seat) and Hohenentringen Castle and Courtyard .

Ammerbuch is characterized by a pleasantly mild climate, in some parts of the town viticulture is still a sideline . After the lowering of the bunting in the thirties and fifties, there were no more problems with flooding of the bunting. Ammerbuch lies on the edge of the Hohenzollerngraben earthquake zone .

history

prehistory

When archaeological excavations began in 2017, a system of ditches was uncovered, which surrounded a Neolithic , more precisely linear ceramic settlement. Among other things, a skeleton of a 30- to 40-year-old woman was discovered in the 53rd century BC. Was buried. What was special about it was a found chain with limestone pearls, which for this period had only been documented from the Balkans and the Carpathian Basin .

Until the parish merger

The oldest evidence of settlement in the Ammer Valley goes back to the Neolithic Age. Tools, huts and graves were found on the Kirchberg zu Reusten, the age of which is estimated to be around 7,000 years.

A Celtic cemetery from around 500 BC was found on the Schopfloch in Pfäffingen. Found.

In Pfäffingen, Entringen and Poltringen there are foundations of Roman manors. A Roman road, later also called Königsstraße or Ammertalstraße, led from Sumelocenna (today's Rottenburg am Neckar) via Unterjesingen , Poltringen, Reusten and Altingen to Herrenberg and on to Portus (today's Pforzheim ). From 84–260 AD, the Ammer valley was ruled by the Romans before they were ousted by the Alemanni.

In the 3rd century, the Alemanni, who came from northern Germany, settled in the Ammertal and on the Schönbuch slopes, among other places. Presumably in the 5th or 6th century the six villages that form Ammerbuch today were created.

For a long time the villages were owned by the Counts of Nagold, and later also by their legal successors, the Counts of Tübingen. Each village was fortified with a castle.

Around 1293 the Count Palatine of Tübingen sold their property to the Bebenhausen Monastery . This built up its own domain, the seat of which was Roseck Castle above Entringen and Unterjesingen on the edge of Schönbuch. In Entringen, Altingen, Poltringen and Pfäffingen there were also imperial manors that were not subject to the sovereign.

After the Bebenhausen monastery was dissolved in 1534/35, most of the villages came to the Duchy of Württemberg and became Protestant. Pfäffingen came to Württemberg in 1699, half of Altingen, two thirds of Poltringen and part of Reustens came into Austrian possession and the subjects affected became Catholic as part of Front Austria .

In 1806, Emperor Napoleon rewarded his loyal ally Friedrich von Württemberg, among other things, by the fact that the Upper Austrian parts of the country around Rottenburg fell to the newly established kingdom . From 1808 the villages were administered by the Oberamt Herrenberg . In the reorganization during the Nazi era in Württemberg , they fell to the Tübingen district in 1938 .

In 1945 the places became part of the French occupation zone and in 1947 they were assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was merged into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Ammerbuch was founded on December 1, 1971 as part of the community reform through the merger of the communities Altingen , Breitenholz , Entringen , Pfäffingen , Poltringen and Reusten .

Naming

The name Ammerbuch has not evolved historically, but rather an artificial word that refers to the scenic location between Ammertal and Schönbuch. Names of this kind are typical of the municipal reforms in Württemberg in the 1970s (cf. e.g. Albstadt , Filderstadt , Starzach , Weinstadt ).

politics

Municipal council

In 2019, for the first time, the municipal council in Ammerbuch was not elected using the spurious sub-district election. With an improper choice of part of town, the minimum size of the municipal council was 19 seats, but could increase due to overhang seats . After the elimination of the false choice of suburbs, the size of the new municipal council was set at 22 seats (2014: 21). The local elections on May 26, 2019 led to the following preliminary final result. The municipal council consists of the elected voluntary councilors and the mayor as chairwoman. The mayor is entitled to vote in the municipal council.
