Asch is a district of Blaubeuren in the Alb-Donau district in Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Asch is located about 15 kilometers west of Ulm and about 5 kilometers north of Blaubeuren on the plateau of the Blaubeurer Alb. Naturally, this is part of the Middle Alb .
Neighboring towns are Bühlenhausen (municipality Berghülen ), Bermaringen , Wippingen (both town of Blaustein ), Sonderbuch (town of Blaubeuren) and - in Blaubeurer district - the Hessenhöfe.
history
In the forest Borgerhau east of the village were a Neolithic traces Hornstein cleardown found. There is also a group of burial mounds from the Hallstatt period with more than 60 stone and earth mounds in the Attenlau forest in the west of the district .
The currently earliest documented mention of Asch goes back to 1236. Although the settlement is likely to be much older, in contrast to neighboring towns with names on -ingen or with Merovingian grave finds, an early medieval origin is questionable. The name of the village could have its origin in the tree name ash and indicate a cleared settlement .
The earliest provable village lords of Asch were the Count Palatine of Tübingen ; in the 13th century, however, ownership passed to the Counts of Helfenstein . In 1447 Asch was sold to Count Ludwig von Württemberg . His son Eberhard im Bart donated church patronage and great tithe to the newly founded University of Tübingen in 1477 . Although the village was under Württemberg rule, the majority of the farms at that time were owned by the Blaubeuren monastery .
Asch had a school as early as 1580. In addition, the place had its own jurisdiction with the so-called Juppengericht . Despite this certain independence, Asch, as a rural settlement, has always been largely dependent on the town of Blaubeuren.
Until its dissolution in 1938, Asch was part of the Blaubeuren regional office , after which it was an independent municipality in the Ulm district . As part of the regional reform , Asch was incorporated into Blaubeuren on January 1, 1974.
Attractions
Evangelical parish church
As soon as the place is mentioned for the first time, it can be concluded that there is a pastor in Asch. The current church building was erected at the end of the 15th century with an enlarged floor plan on the walls of a previous building; the choir was probably completed in 1497.
With the donation to the University of Tübingen in 1477, the patronage to Our Lady is mentioned; depicted in a Marian fresco from 1510 on the north side of the nave. In the choir there is a fresco of a crucifixion group , which probably dates from the late 16th to early 17th century.
As part of the Duchy of Württemberg , the Reformation was introduced in Asch in 1535 and the Church of Our Lady has been a Protestant church since then.
On the wall at the entrance to the churchyard is the arrest house , which today houses the local archive. The ear box inside the church contains a sheaf of rye from 1817 and an inscription commemorates the famine of 1816/17 .
The church was extensively renovated in 1962; In 1990 the 41 meter high tower, whose current shape dates from the 18th century. The entire facility is now a listed building.
Ash cave
In the center of the village is the Ascher Hüle , which was previously mainly used as a cattle trough and - in addition to cisterns , a few groundwater wells and a few field hulls in the area - represented an important part of the water supply on the karstified Alb. Asch joined Albwasserversorgungsgruppe III in 1875 and has since been supplied by a pumping station on the Blautopf , now with groundwater from a well near Gerhausen .
Today the cave is used as a fire fighting pond and in winter as an ice rink. Every other year the Ascher Hülen Festival takes place around them.
education
Asch has a primary school, which was rebuilt in 1995 and whose catchment area has also included the neighboring village of Sonderbuch for several years. There is also a Protestant kindergarten in Asch.
religion
In Asch there are three Christian congregations, one Protestant , one New Apostolic and one congregation of the popular mission of committed Christians .
