geography
Geographical location
Beilstein is located in the south of the Heilbronn district. It is part of the natural areas of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains and the Neckar Basin . The place is traversed by the Söhlbach, a tributary of the Bottwar . Although Beilstein is not located on the Bottwar itself, which only marginally touches the municipality, Beilstein is mostly attributed to the Bottwartal. The district with the suburbs also includes essential parts of the Löwenstein Mountains and extends in the east to the "Spiegelberger" Lauter .
Neighboring communities
Neighboring cities and communities of Beilstein are ( clockwise , starting in the south): Oberstenfeld , Großbottwar (both districts of Ludwigsburg ), Ilsfeld , Abstatt , Lauffen am Neckar (exclave of the city forest of Etzlensendung), Löwenstein , Wüstenrot (all districts of Heilbronn) and Spiegelberg ( Rems- Murr-Kreis ). The Farnersberg suburb is located as an exclave between Untergruppenbach in the north and the Lauffen exclave Stadtwald Etzlensendung in the south. Together with Abstatt, Ilsfeld and Untergruppenbach, Beilstein forms the community administration association Schozach-Bottwartal, based in Ilsfeld.
City structure
In addition to Beilstein itself, Beilstein also includes the Hohenbeilstein district and the Schmidhausen district (formerly an independent municipality) . Etzlensendung , Farnersberg and Stocksberg are hamlets belonging to Beilstein and former sub-communities that were abolished as such on April 1, 1931. The summit of the 538.9 m high Stocksberg with the Stocksberg hunting lodge does not belong to Beilstein (but to the neighboring town of Löwenstein) , unlike the hamlet of the same name on its northern and eastern slopes. The hamlet of Söhlbach , the farm Obere Ölmühle and the residential areas Steinberg and Untere Ölmühle also belong to Beilstein . Schmidhausen includes the hamlets Billensbach , Gagernberg , Jettenbach , Kaisersbach , Klingen and Maad as well as the residential areas Am Mühlberg and Neumühle. The expired, i.e. no longer existing, place Herlenweiler was on the Schmidhausen mark.

history
City foundation in the High Middle Ages
Hohenbeilstein Castle was built around 1070/1080, keep and curtain wall , she received around 1200. Around 1150, the first time a Dietherich Bilstein called the lords were probably in blood relationship with the Earl of Vaihingen and Lowenstein and her property was in their extinction by 1234 to the Margraves of Baden . In a document from the year 1245 the place Beilstein is mentioned for the first time, which probably developed in the High Middle Ages as a castle hamlet below Hohenbeilstein Castle and is therefore younger than most of the other hamlets that belong to the city of Beilstein today. Probably during the time of Margrave Rudolf I of Baden between 1250 and 1288, Beilstein was raised to the rank of town and was first named as such in 1304. The city came into the possession of Count Eberhard I of Württemberg , from him to the Counts of Asperg and from them back to Württemberg in 1340 . Count Ulrich IV and Eberhard II der Greiner transferred the city to Emperor Charles IV in 1361 , who returned it to them as a Bohemian fief . Up until the end of the 18th century, this fief, which was temporarily pledged, was reassigned every time an emperor or a Württemberg count or duke took office.
The city wall was built in the late 13th or early 14th century. The establishment of its own parish and the supply of the Magdalenenkirche on the Schlossberg, which was elevated to the parish church, as well as a Nikolauskapelle is mainly due to foundations by Wolf the Glitzenden von Wunnenstein († November 9th 1413), who had acquired various properties in Beilstein from Württemberg, who from some of his heirs returned to Württemberg.
In the second half of the 15th century, the Württemberg Landgraben was built as a Württemberg border fortification, which stretched from Beilstein around 31 km northwest to Großgartach , but near Beilstein after the gain of land in Württemberg in the Palatinate War of Succession of 1504 (e.g. the county Löwenstein) no longer had any significance as a national border. Beilstein also became an official city. The seat of the respective Württemberg Vogt was initially the castle, then in the course of the 16th century an office building was built on the castle hill.
The Reformation was carried out in Beilstein as well as in other Württemberg cities in 1534/35, a little later a Latin school, which already existed in 1540, was founded in the city.
Thirty Years' War
The Thirty Years War , fought between Catholics and Protestants, demanded great sacrifices from the population, not only through acts of war, but also through diseases, epidemics and famine, as well as crop failures and price increases. In 1622, with the Battle of Wimpfen , decisive conflicts of the war took place near Beilstein for the first time.
The first complaints arose when, in January 1623, during the Weimar passage, major damage was caused by billeting of soldiers and stolen horses. Although the incident was described as significant by the ducal chancellery in Stuttgart, the billeting was not prevented. Furthermore, it was "terrible" that Bavarian soldiers occupied the roads to Heilbronn and Schwäbisch Hall, so that the grain purchases, which had become necessary due to several bad harvests, could no longer be made. In 1628, the invasion of Württemberg by Wallenstein troops resulted in further billeting and war loads, such as the 65 bushels of grain to be provided for the Friedländische Soldateska in 1629 .
It was not until the defeat of the Swedes, allied with the Duchy of Württemberg, in the battle of Nördlingen on September 6, 1634, that the real ruin was brought about. Duke Eberhard III. fled to Strasbourg, whereupon the victorious imperial war peoples robbed, plundered and partially burned the cities and villages. Food prices rose again, hunger and plague followed. The care of the sick and wounded of a regiment (June to November 1635), monthly contributions (war taxes) to the imperial war fund in Stuttgart and in the winter of 1634/35 to the soldiers of Field Marshal Strozzi, the construction of a field hospital (summer 1636), further billeting (December 1635 - April 1636 and 1638), the winter quarters of the company of Captain Mannwalter (Winter '37), as well as small bribes devoured an equivalent of over 74,000 guilders in the years 1634–1638. The number of residents of Beilstein, which was 1,620 in 1622, decreased so much in the following years that in 1641 only 39 of the former 129 houses were still habitable.
But even after Duke Eberhard III. In 1638, when the part of Württemberg that had been lost four years earlier had been regained from the Kaiser and thus freed the Beilsteiners and the residents of the surrounding villages from the reign of terror of the victorious powers, the complaints about war events and the continued burdens of war did not fall silent. A petition to the ducal government written by Vogt , mayor and court on December 24, 1639 as a result of a further billing order illustrates the extent of the misery:
- in that all cattle, fruit and Vienna and other chattels would be so completely bare and bit uffs Markh absorbed that, God be it complained, would have nothing to wait and see, then our barren hut would jerk to and fro to see our poor women and children starving and perishing miserably.
From 1640 there was a certain calm, in which the population recovered, mostly due to "foreigners", which was disturbed again in 1642 by France's partisanship for Sweden. In the following years, the Beilsteiners were induced by officers, war commissioners and soldiers, often with very hard means, to take on debts in and outside the country in order to be able to pay the costs for billeting, contributions and maintenance payments for captains and their entourage. Due to the many burdens that were imposed, there were often misunderstandings and conflicts both within the population of Beilstein and with neighboring communities such as Oberstenfeld .
It was not until the Peace of Westphalia in October 1648 that the suffering suffered over two decades was forgotten, so that the people could begin with the reconstruction of their destroyed cities and villages as well as the recultivation of the desolate fields and vineyards. In 1641 there were only 39 habitable houses, in 1655 there were 117 again.
War of the Palatinate Succession
During the Palatinate War of Succession , from 1688 onwards, French troops made several incursions into Württemberg. A first incursion led the French to nearby Lauffen on the Neckar in 1688 , but Württemberg troops were initially able to force the attackers out of the country. In the summer of 1693 the French advanced again, destroyed Marbach on July 18th and then advanced to Großbottwar , Oberstenfeld , Beilstein and Auenstein . Beilstein was almost completely burned down: 105 houses, 30 barns, the official building and the wine press were destroyed. The place was rebuilt in the following three decades in accordance with the building regulations of the Württemberg builder Matthias Weiß from December 1, 1693. The town hall and the old wine press in particular bear witness to this reconstruction. The Beilsteiner Vogt Johann Jakob Weißmann, who had fled from the French to Löwenstein with the population against a ducal order in July 1693, was transferred to Balingen from 1694 to 1699. During this time, the Beilsteiner Vogtei was co-administered by the Großbottwarer Vogt Kapff. When the city was being rebuilt, a new office building was built not far from the town hall in 1699; the old office building on Burgberg was only sparsely rebuilt.
Beilstein in the 19th century
Between 1803 and 1806 Beilstein became the seat of the Beilstein Oberamt as part of the reorganization of the Württemberg offices . However, this was dissolved again in 1810 and Beilstein became, together with most of the previous administrative locations, part of the Marbach Oberamt in the Kingdom of Württemberg, which had existed since 1806 . Around 1840, beginning with the demolition of the city gates, Beilstein began to grow beyond the medieval city limits. In 1848 a postal expedition was set up. The still prevailing poverty led to a population decline of around 400 people between 1859 and 1869 alone, some of whom moved to larger cities, but some also emigrated (67 emigrants are recorded between 1851 and 1860).
To supplement the route network of the Württemberg State Railways , the Bottwartalbahn was built , the first section of which between Marbach and Beilstein opened in 1894. The Bottwartalbahn was extended to Ilsfeld in 1899 and completed in 1900 with the last section to Heilbronn . This brought a certain upswing for the places along the route, but the expected industrial settlement fell far short of expectations. In 1907/08 a public water supply was set up, and in 1911 it was connected to the Beihingen-Pleidelsheim power station for energy supply.
Around 1900 the manufacturer Robert Vollmöller bought the castle and the entire castle hill. Today's appearance of the most important Beilstein landmark goes back to him. He had a country house built on the site of the old Magdalenenkirchen rectory and in 1906/08 had the old office building replaced by a manorial manufacturer's villa.
time of the nationalsocialism
As elsewhere, the also found in Beilstein after 1933 DC circuit of the political and social life instead. Since there were no Jews living in Beilstein , there were no anti-Semitic riots. From 1933 to 1937 various Wehrmacht departments were billeted. On July 12, 1935, the first drafting of recruits took place, from 1933 to 1944 horses and oxen were also drafted for their use in the Wehrmacht. From August 1934, air raid control stations had to be ordered for the buildings, and the first blackout exercise took place in mid-February 1936. After the outbreak of war in 1939, French and Polish prisoners of war were quartered in Beilstein in the Gasthaus zum Schwanen and in Schmidhausener Straße 4.
During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Beilstein came to the Heilbronn district in 1938 .
Beilstein was largely spared from war damage until 1944; it suffered only three fighter-bomber attacks with minor property damage. In the period from February 1944 to early April 1945, a total of three people were killed, six injured and four houses damaged in a further six attacks.
At the end of March 1945 the front moved ever closer to Beilstein and German troops were billeted. On April 2, 1945, a first army's main first aid station was set up in Beilstein, which was relocated to Kleinbottwar on April 14. In its place, German defense troops were moved to Beilstein, making the place the target of a massive air raid on the afternoon of April 16, 1945. During this operation, almost the entire quarter between Entengasse and Bahnhofstrasse (a total of 40% of all buildings in the village) was destroyed, making Beilstein one of the most affected communities in the area. The following night, the city's fire brigade found it extremely difficult to keep the many sources of fire under control, as there were only two motorized syringes, one of which later failed due to a lack of petrol, too little hose material and too little help from the civilian population who were looking around wanted to take care of their own ablaze houses.
When there was still resistance from the Germans after April 16 in Beilstein, the Americans changed their plans and tried to take the area around Fohlenberg, Helfenberg and Amalienhof, which they called "the five fingers", with a so-called containment tactic . There were some deaths there on both sides. The Germans had an advantage because they knew the terrain. On the morning of April 19, 1945, the first American tanks finally penetrated Beilstein, in spite of the anti-tank barrier that ran near St. Anne's Church. The fire of the German artillery claimed another three civilian victims. The battle for Beilstein lasted all day and only at 11 p.m. did the last military action on both sides begin.
present
In 1945, Beilstein became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
After the damage from World War II had been repaired by around 1955, the community began to grow again. Between 1956 and 1971, several new development areas were developed and around 280 residential buildings with over 400 residential units were built. Due to an integration agreement of January 15, 1971, the community Schmidhausen was incorporated into Beilstein on July 1, 1971.
After 1970, the population continued to grow rapidly, as the city's mobility meanwhile also made it attractive for commuters to Heilbronn, Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart. Therefore, further large new building areas were designated until around 1980. The city center, neglected by the new construction activities, was included in the state renovation program in 1975, whereupon an extensive area renovation took place from 1982, which essentially gave the city center its present shape.
Religions
Beilstein has been predominantly evangelical since the Reformation , the evangelical parish belongs to the Evangelical Church in Württemberg and there to the parish of Marbach .
Initially, the city did not have its own parish church and was assigned to the parish of Ilsfeld - Wunnenstein , which had two churches with the church in Ilsfeld and the Michaelskirche on the Wunnenstein. The Michaelskirche was the mother church for the area around the Wunnenstein, thus also for Beilstein. In a treaty concluded in 1300, the right of patronage for this parish was transferred from Count Eberhard II to the Order of St. John . At the beginning there was probably a chapel in Beilstein, but from 1348 at the latest there was a parish church under the patronage of the Johanniter, the Magdalenenkirche on Burgberg. There was also a Chapel of St. Nicholas outside the city. 1464/65 Beilstein is mentioned in the diocesan register of the diocese of Würzburg . The city was on the southwestern border of the diocese, and the church on the Wunnenstein still belonged to Würzburg, but not the neighboring town of Oberstenfeld, which belonged to the diocese of Speyer .
In 1534/35 Beilstein was reformed with the rest of Württemberg, and for centuries there were only a few Catholics in the city and no Catholic parish. Beilstein's first Lutheran pastor was the Beilstein-born reformer Valentin Vannius in 1535 . Because the Magdalenenkirche no longer had enough space for the numerous parishioners, the larger chapel in front of the city walls, from which today's St. Anne's Church emerged , was used for services from around 1616 . Because this church has no tower, the bells of the Protestant parish still ring in the bell tower of the Magdalenenkirche, while this was abandoned as a church around 1800. A planned new church building, which would have turned St. Anne's Church into a cemetery church to be maintained by the city, did not materialize in 1980.
Catholics are only there again in larger numbers in Beilstein after the influx of expellees in the period after the Second World War. They are looked after by the parish of Großbottwar in the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart . Together with the Catholics of Oberstenfeld, they first celebrated their services in the Oberstenfeld Peterskirche, until it became too small and in 1961 the Herz-Jesu-Kirche was rebuilt in Oberstenfeld.
The Methodist Church has been represented in Beilstein since 1863 and inaugurated a first chapel in the city in 1868. In 1874 the district municipality of Beilstein-Happenbach was formed. The chapel, which was destroyed in 1945, was replaced by the newly built Christ Church in 1949.
The Latter Rain Mission has also been based in Beilstein since 1957 , a Christian denomination that can be attributed to the Pentecostal movement and that arose under the Boers of South Africa. A mission settlement developed around their faith house in Lebanon in Beilstein, which in 1983 was around 2.5 hectares in size and in which over 200 people lived permanently. The faith center in Beilstein is the European headquarters of the Latter Rain Mission.

badges and flags
The blazon of the Beilsteiner coat of arms reads: In red a hexagonal, ridged silver stone, set all around with three (2: 1) silver pointed hammers (axes) carved into it . The city colors are white and red.
Until the middle of the 17th century, the Beilsteiner seals only show a pointed hammer, understood as a hatchet , which was also the Beilsteiner stain mark (documented in Kieser's forest camp book of 1685) ; in seals from 1579 to 1641 the empty area around the hammer handle is sprinkled with roses . A colored drawing from 1535, on the other hand, already shows "dry stain vnd dry mawerhemmer in eim rotten Feld". The coat of arms was shown in this form until the beginning of the 17th century. From around 1583, today's talking coat of arms with three hammers in a hexagonal or three-edged stone prevailed, whereby the color of the hammers changed; since 1652 this form has also been documented in the city seals. Letter seals from 1693 to 1788 also had an angel as a shield holder . On February 5, 1930, the Beilstein municipal council finally determined the current form of the coat of arms.
Town twinning
Beilstein has had a partnership with the French city of Pontault-Combault in the greater Paris area ( Seine-et-Marne department , Île-de-France region ) since 1984 .
Culture and sights
Beilstein is on the Württemberg Wine Route .
Buildings
Hohenbeilstein Castle , which was built in the 11th century and fell into disrepair in the 16th century, is located above Beilstein . The ruin came into the possession of the entrepreneur Robert Vollmöller in 1898 , who had parts of the facility restored. The castle has been owned by the city since 1960 and is now home to a castle restaurant and a falconry .
The Lower Castle is located halfway between the castle and town . This was also built by Vollmöller around 1905 according to plans by Albert Benz and is located on the site of the Amtshof built around 1577, which was only poorly restored after the destruction in 1693. The castle complex and the lower castle as well as the adjacent buildings are connected by a common side wall. The Lower Castle has been the conference venue of the Evangelical Church (“House of the Children's Church”), which has owned the house since 1959, since 1957. The castle press is located next to the castle.
The Magdalenenkirche , which is also halfway between the castle and town, was built in the late Romanesque period and was the burial place of the Lords of Wunnenstein . In 1805, however, the church was given up as a parish church and then served, among other things, as a hospital, ammunition store and gymnasium and finally fell apart. The choir was demolished in 1850, and in 1955 the church and the neighboring former rectory were converted into a youth home.
The town hall is a baroque half-timbered house with a rich ornamental gable. It was built on older foundations between 1703 and 1710 after it was destroyed in 1693. The neighboring city and office archive (Hauptstrasse 21) was built to be particularly fire-proof and has two vaults one above the other. Other buildings in the city bear witness to the reconstruction after 1693, including the Alte Schmiede (Hauptstrasse 25), which is dated in the cellar arch to 1694, the Alte Amtshaus (Hauptstrasse 34) from 1699, the house of Vogtes Weißmann ( Innere Burgstaffel 6 ) around 1700 and the Helferhaus (Helfergasse 1). The old wine press was also built in 1698 on the site of an older, burned down wine press and was used for viticulture until around 1970. Since the renovation around 1980, the wine press has an open framework towards the south.
The Haus der Ehrbahrkeit (Hauptstrasse 24) was built as the home of the town clerk and clerk Dillenius in 1725. The philosopher Immanuel Niethammer may have lived in it later . In the 19th century it was the home of the theologian and poet Julius Krais .
The Sankt-Anna-Kirche was built around 1470 in place of an older Nikolaus chapel and has been a parish church since around 1800. The church was extensively renovated from 1988–1990 and received new stained glass windows based on designs by Rudolf Yelin the Elder. J. .
Other sights in the city include the former town barn and wine press (Hauptstraße 49), which has an inscription stone with food prices from 1585, and the former Protestant rectory (Schlossstraße 40) from 1669, which is one of the few buildings to survive the fire of 1693 Has. Also worth seeing are various typical historical building forms such as the late baroque craftsman's house on Äußere Burgstaffel 2, the arable citizen's house in Entengasse 15 and the half-timbered barn from 1749 in Burgstrasse 12.

Viticulture
Beilstein is known beyond the region for its wine. Especially Riesling , Trollinger and Lemberger are grown here on around 200 hectares of vineyards . In the course of the reconciliation of the vineyards from 1966 to 1980, over 120 hectares of vineyards were rearranged. The sites belong to the major area of Wunnenstein in the Württemberg lowlands . Up until the recent past, viticulture was the main source of income for the population.
traffic
From 1894 to 1968, Beilstein had a station on the Bottwartalbahn , the narrow-gauge line from Marbach am Neckar to Heilbronn Süd , whose steam locomotives were popularly known as "duck killers". The Royal Württemberg State Railways built the station building as a type IIIa unit station . After the tracks have been dismantled, the route now largely serves the Alb-Neckar cycle path ( Eberbach - Ulm ).
