geography
Geographical location
Beuren is located in the Neuffen Valley directly on the Albtrauf below the Hohenneuffen castle ruins . The state capital Stuttgart is around 28 km away, and Reutlingen is around 16 kilometers southwest of Beuren. The lowest point of the Beurener district is in the Tiefenbachtal at 335 meters above sea level , the highest point on the Alb plateau at the Burghörnle near the Beurener Felsen at 733 meters. The protected location in the valley basin between Hohenneuffen and Beurener Fels has a positive effect on the climate and also on fruit and wine growing.
Beuren is located in the area of the Swabian volcano , and six former volcanic vents have been identified on the Beuren marker. The mountain cones of Engelberg, Spitzenberg and Hohbölle are such former volcanoes. The long extinct mountains of fire have left behind a special kind of treasure: hot thermal mineral water. The geothermal depth in Beuren is eleven meters (the temperature of the earth's crust increases by one degree every eleven meters). That is three times as much as is usual in Germany.
Community structure
The village of Beuren and the village of Balzholz belong to Beuren . The Haldenhof (Balzholz marking) and Sonnenhof residential areas in the Tiefenbachtal also belong to Beuren. The Sonnenhof is connected to Beuren by a municipal road. The residential buildings of the Sonnenhof are an exception in that the supply of energy, telephone, etc. is completely from Nürtingen.
Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities are Nürtingen in the north, Dettingen unter Teck and Owen in the east, Erkenbrechtsweiler in the south, Neuffen and Frickenhausen in the west.
Division of space
According to data from the State Statistical Office , as of 2014.
history
Beuren was first mentioned in a document in 1304 when the Habsburgs waived all claims to the place against Count Eberhard I of Württemberg . Since then, Beuren has been part of Württemberg without interruption. The place belonged to the Neuffen office within Württemberg . Via the Oberamt Nürtingen (from 1938: District of Nürtingen ) the place came to the district of Esslingen in 1973 .
Religions
Beuren has been evangelical since the Reformation . The Protestant parish of Beuren, which holds its services in the Nikolauskirche, has around 2050 members (as of 2005).
Only the influx of expellees after the Second World War led to a significant number of Roman Catholic believers who, with St. Paulus, also have their own church in town. Organizationally, they form the Catholic parish of St. Michael with Neuffen and Kohlberg .
The New Apostolic congregation has joined forces with Frickenhausen, the church used to be in the street “An der Raise”.
The Christian community Beuren e. V. meets in Johannesstr. 3. Organizationally, it belongs to the Wendlingen Christian community .
Incorporations
In 1938 the municipality of Balzholz was incorporated into Beuren. The place name means a settlement in the forest of Bald . The place is first mentioned in 1298. In 1521 Balzholz consisted of six houses. During the Thirty Years' War , Balzholz was uninhabited for several years. When it was incorporated in 1938, Balzholz had 319 inhabitants. The coat of arms was adopted in 1930. It goes back to an old seal stick that showed a fishing rod. On a gold plate over green ground an erect black fishing hook between green beech trees. The fishing rod is supposed to be a reminder of the foot rods that were formerly laid out on Balzholzer mark to protect the Hohenneuffen fortress.

politics
coat of arms
The local coat of arms, adopted after 1930, shows a black goat head facing to the right in a gold shield. It ties in with the second place name Geißbeuren, which was previously used in the vernacular . This has been traceable since 1640 and is said to go back to goat husbandry, which was once particularly widespread here.
In order to avoid an overlap with the colors of the national flag, the colors of the coat of arms were not adopted in the municipal flag. The flag, awarded by the Ministry of the Interior in 1973, therefore has the colors blue-yellow (blue-gold).

Sponsorship
In order to give the former residents of the Danube Swabian village of Jarek a place where they can meet again after their escape in 1944, the municipality of Beuren took over the sponsorship of the former municipality of Jarek on September 25, 1987. A "Jareker Platz" with a fountain and memorial stone was created at the entrance to the new cemetery, and a Jareker meeting takes place once a year in Beuren.

Beuren also operates its own springs, which are fed by the karst groundwater of the Swabian Alb. The wastewater is disposed of in the sewage treatment plant of the Neuffener Tal wastewater association in Frickenhausen .

Buildings
_-_Nikolauskirche_-_%C3%96lberggruppe.jpg)
Beuren has been able to maintain a homogeneous appearance in the old town center to this day, which reflects the heyday of the town in the 15th and 16th centuries. At that time, Beuren was a place of pilgrimage. A pilgrimage chapel on the Engelberg was the destination of the pilgrims. On the main street and the adjacent side streets there are still a number of valuable old half-timbered buildings, some of them in stately storey construction. A total of 70 historic buildings are listed in the center of Beuren. The oldest known ridge house in Baden-Württemberg from 1411/12 is one of them.
In the middle of the historic town center is the late Gothic St. Nicholas Church , which was built in the 15th century in place of a Romanesque chapel. The large bell tower dates from 1430. The choir was completed in 1515, at the time of the beginning of the Reformation. Special sights are a "Mount of Olives" (1510) outside on the south-east wall of the tower and a somewhat older, precious gem in the church, the carved "Christ on the Palm Donkey" (around 1470). The organ was built around 1839 by the well-known organ builder Viktor Gruol and restored true to the original in 1978/79. Today's interior view of the church dates from 1904. The royal senior building officer Heinrich Dolmetsch , a well-known church builder, rebuilt and renovated the church that year. Incidentally, the gallery comes from the Cannstatter Stadtkirche, which Dolmetsch also rebuilt at the same time. The Nikolauskirche, together with the early baroque rectory (early 17th century), the parish barn (late 15th century), the parish garden and the churchyard, which is still used for burials to this day, form an ensemble that is rarely found in Württemberg.
Another of the dominant cultural monuments in Beuren is the town hall from 1556 opposite the church, which was built during Beuren's heyday. Its foundation walls arch over the "Beurener Bach". For centuries there was a healing spring under the town hall, the water was used in the bath room next to the town hall (first mentioned in 1526). At the beginning of the 20th century the healing spring dried up, the reasons for this were never explored.
Regular events
At the end of the 1950s and in the 1960s, the community organized the Beuren Children's Festival with the local associations in conjunction with the kindergarten and school in the summer with a large parade and festive events. Since 1987, the local associations have celebrated the wine festival around the historic wine press on the second weekend in September . After the completion of the redesigned town center, the festival was moved to Karlsplatz in 2007, and the tradition is now being continued there under the name Brunnenfest .
Personalities
Honorary citizen
