history

Until the 17th century

The ending -heim indicates that Bietigheim was a Franconian settlement. The oldest documentary mention of Bietigheim comes from a list of properties of the Weißenburg monastery . There Abbot Edelin also described the possessions of the Weissenburg Monastery in Bietigheim in the Codex Edelini . This first documentary mention in 991 is not the time of the first settlement of the place, this is much earlier.

Finds of Stone Age settlement in the region are known from around 4500 BC .

50 AD the Romans conquered the area on the Upper Rhine and settled it. In the 1st century AD, a Roman military road from Ladenburg to Baden-Baden led past Bietigheim. After the fall of the Limes and the withdrawal of the Roman military border on the western bank of the Rhine, Alamanni settled in today's municipal area from 259/260 . In 496 the Franks took control of the area north of the Murg .

In the 5th and 7th centuries Merovingian graveyards were laid out in the Bietigheim area . In 985, the Salian Duke Otto appropriated properties of the Weißenburg monastery in Bietigheim, and six years later the Weißenburg properties in Bietigheim were mentioned in a document . The old chapel in Bietigheim was built in 1150, the tower of which dates from this period. The Herrenalb Monastery acquired land in Bietigheim in 1271. Twenty years later, Margrave Hermann VII of Baden received Weißenburg possessions in Bietigheim. The first reference to a local nobility can be found in the Württemberg document books as early as 1207 . There a Sifrido de Buticheim testifies to a comparison that Eberhard von Eberstein brokered in a dispute between the Herrenalb monastery and a side relative of a servant. A Heinrich von Bütenkeyn is also mentioned in later documents.

The village was pledged to the Lichtenthal monastery in 1389 . In 1535 the margraviate of Baden was divided and from then on Bietigheim belonged to the margraviate of Baden-Baden . A little over fifty years later, in 1584, a school in Bietigheim was first mentioned. As part of the Upper Baden occupation, Bietigheim was under compulsory administration by the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach from 1594 to 1622 . In 1622 Tilly's troops marched through Baden, plundering . In the years 1625 to 1631 witch trials took place in the margraviate of Baden-Baden , in Bietigheim there are eight victims in 1626. The Swedes occupied the country from 1632 to 1634 .

Ortneckname

The residents of Bietigheim call themselves the "Bietjer". As in almost every municipality in this region, the people of Bietigheim have a nickname: They are called "Kieholzbuwe". The nickname comes from times when the people of Bietigheim still mainly lived from agriculture and were happy about any additional income in the bad times. The people of Bietigheim, but not only they, came up with something special, they sold Kienholz . The pine wood is obtained from the root stock of the pine and is used to light wood fires and to drive away moths . In the past, a lot of pine trees grew in the district of Bietigheim, which were tapped by the inhabitants to extract resin . If a pine was felled, its roots remained in the ground for a few years so that the rhizome could be enriched with resin . This was then excavated and, with great difficulty, brought to the courtyards. There they cut the resin-soaked root wood into small pieces with an ax, hammer and saw, which were then tied into bundles of ten. These bundles were then sold in the neighboring cities of Rastatt, Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden at the weekly market , to restaurants, to middlemen or from house to house. The earnings in the twenties were around 5 pfennigs per bundle of pinewood, which was a lucrative earnings at the end of the day. Today there is no longer a pine wood trade in Bietigheim, but the nickname has remained.
