History of the districts before the municipal reform

Bad Teinach

Kabbalistic school chart in Bad Teinach

The Teinach settlement was first mentioned in a document in 1472. It belonged to the Württemberg office of Zavelstein. In 1710, Duke Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg had a palace built as a summer residence. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Teinach became the favorite baths of the Württemberg dukes . In 1770, Duke Carl Eugen came with 326 people to visit the mineral springs. The healing spring in the Teinach Valley was already known in the late Middle Ages. According to legend, it was discovered by a deer and is therefore called the Deer Spring . There was a real spa business as early as the 17th century.

In 1835 Teinach became a royal bath. In the years that followed, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg had the bathhouse, drinking hall and bath hotel built according to plans by Friedrich von Thouret ; in 1864 Carl Hoffmann bought the bath from the Württemberg state.

Zavelstein

View of the town of Zavelstein with the castle ruins

The Zavelsteiner Stauferburg was built around the year 1200 . The first known lord of the castle is Richelin, a knight of Zavelstein in 1280. In 1367, Count Eberhardt II of Württemberg found refuge in the castle and - according to legend - granted Zavelstein town rights as thanks. In fact, Zavelstein was mentioned as a town as early as 1342. Since 1461 Zavelstein was an official city of Württemberg. At the beginning of the 17th century, the lord of the castle, Benjamin Bouwinghausen von Wallmerode, converted the castle into a late Renaissance palace. In 1692, French troops invaded the city and destroyed it. The castle ruin with its 28 meter high tower is a memorial for this to this day. Before 1806, Zavelstein had a seat and vote in the Württemberg state parliament . When the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg was implemented, the Zavelstein Office finally came to the Oberamt Calw . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Zavelstein came to the Calw district in 1938. After the Second World War, the town of Zavelstein and the district of Calw fell into the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 . In 1952, the provisional post-war state was added to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern and has since been part of the new federal state of Baden-Württemberg. With the district reform on January 1, 1973 , the district of Calw reached its present size. The district also became part of the newly founded Northern Black Forest region , which was assigned to the then newly circumscribed administrative district of Karlsruhe . The former Württemberg city of Zavelstein is now also administered from the former Baden capital, Karlsruhe. Until the municipal reform in 1975, Zavelstein was the smallest town in Baden-Württemberg , at times all of Germany .

Sommenhardt

The founding of the Sommenhardt district, also known as "Sumenhardt" in its oldest spelling, originating from Stammheim , dates back to the time before Charlemagne . In the second half of the 10th century, Sommenhardt and its subsidiary Lützenhardt fell under the rule of the Reichenau monastery . In 1075, Count Adelbert II von Calw Sommenhardt transferred it to the Aurelius Monastery in Hirsau . In the old Württemberg period, Sommenhardt belonged to the Zavelstein office, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg, like the city of Zavelstein, belonged to the Oberamt Calw and since 1938 to the district of the same name. Although the ecclesiastical administrative staff was assigned to the parish of Zavelstein at the end of the 15th century , Sommenhardt's communal independence remained until 1975.

Kentheim

Kentheim owes its existence to the construction of the St. Candidus Church , designed as a hall church . A previous building was probably built as a hermitage as early as the beginning of the 9th century at the instigation of the Reichenau monastery and was thus probably the oldest settlement in the Nagold Valley. In 1075 Kentheim, Sommenhardt and other hamlets were handed over to the Hirsau monastery . In the 13th century, the St. Candidus Church was converted into a parish church for 14 newly created villages on the surrounding Black Forest heights of the Nagold and Teinach valleys. In 1450 this parish seat was transferred to the little town of Zavelstein. The church has important wall paintings from the 13th to 15th centuries. After devastating floods that flooded the church and cemetery, the church had to be restored in 1999.

Emberg, Rötenbach and Schmieh

In the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries the Waldhufendörfer Emberg, Rötenbach and Schmieh were created during a systematic settlement campaign by the Counts of Calw . In the 15th century they were placed under the administration of Zavelstein and are part of its history.

Ecclesiastically, Rötenbach belonged initially to the parish of Kentheim (Sommenhardt district), and later to Zavelstein. Presumably there was a church for a long time, which was replaced by the current building in 1765. In 1966, the artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler created three choir windows with the themes of the risen with disciples, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the Last Judgment.

The painter Professor Gottfried Ehninger from Calw designed the concrete glass windows with the themes of the resurrection and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit.

  • Evangelical St. Georgs Church in Zavelstein

In Zavelstein, the "smallest town in Württemberg", to which Kentheim, Rötenbach and Sommenhardt belong ecclesiastically, there was a chapel in the castle from 1379 on the ground floor of the tower. In 1545 a parish was created there by the Duke of Württemberg and, with a simultaneous extension (with choir) to the south and west, the enlarged chapel was elevated to a Protestant parish church in 1578 (instead of Kentheim). The nave was built as a transverse church with a west and north gallery and stalls facing the pulpit in the middle of the south wall. Gravestones and epitaphs of the Württemberg court junkers and barons Bouwinghausen-Wallmerode, fief recipients since 1616 and buyers of the Zavelstein manor in 1620, are still there. The west window was designed in 1996 by Anna-Dorothea Kunz-Saile with the themes of the Descent from the Cross and the Resurrection of Christ, as well as the dragon fight and martyrdom of St. George, the namesake of the church.
