history

Niedernau was first mentioned in a document in 1127. The reason for the mention was the dedication of the Konrad Chapel. After 1280, the Lords of Ehingen built the Ehingerburg above the Katzenbachtal . This was destroyed in 1407 during a feud with the Counts of Zollern .

Niedernau was part of the County of Hohenberg and came to Upper Austria with the sale of these in 1381 . From the 15th century the place belonged to the Niederhohenberg landscape. Ecclesiastically, Niedernau belonged to the parish of St. Remigius in Ehingen (today part of Rottenburg). In 1339 the parish was incorporated into the Canons' Monastery of St. Moriz. In 1806, Niedernau received its own parish. The current church of St. Konrad was built in the 18th century.

With the County of Hohenberg, Niedernau became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 . In 1807 it was assigned to the newly founded Oberamt Rottenburg . When the Oberamt was dissolved in 1938, the place became part of the Tübingen district . On December 1, 1971, Bad Niedernau was incorporated into the city of Rottenburg am Neckar .

History of the bath

Carl Dörr : The Niedernauer Bad ( aquatint , approx. 1810)
Karl Schickhardt : Stangelsche Mühle in Bad Niedernau (oil on canvas, 1924)

In 1471 a "Sauerbronnen" is mentioned for the first time . In 1804 the doctor and member of the state parliament, Franz Xaver Raidt, bought the small bath in Niedernau. Under him it was expanded into a community bath and experienced its heyday. The bath was visited by artists, for example the Stuttgart painter Karl Schickhardt , who liked to immortalize Niedernau in his pictures. To honor his services "as a patron of the Niedernau baths and herald of our region", a "Schickhardtblick" was set up in an attractive location on the Albvereinweg Niedernau - Wittlichblick - Rottenburg as early as 1912. In Bad Niedernau there is now a Schickhardtstraße in his memory. The Württemberg royal family also visited the spa until 1914. Since 1936, Niedernau has been allowed to use the nickname “Bad” in the place name. After 1964, the spa and sanatorium were run by the "Congregation of the Poor School Sisters of Our Lady" from the Batschka . From 2009 to 2019, the Emil Schlegel Clinic was housed in part of the building complex. Nowadays the sisters are still on site, but the spa is closed. Therefore the place could soon lose its nickname.
