geography
Location and urban development
The approximately 31 square kilometers large Bietigheim-Bissingen marker is located in the natural area "Neckar basin", which is one of the Neckar and Taubergäuplatten: In itself a plateau covered with loess , into which the Enz runs from southwest to northeast and the here in from west to east who cut into Metter opening into Enz . The lowest point of the marking is in the Enz Valley on the border with Besigheim at around 176 meters above sea level , the highest point on the border with Ingersheim at around 300 meters above sea level.
City structure
As part of the regional reform , the city of Bietigheim and the municipality of Bissingen an der Enz merged to form the large district town of Bietigheim-Bissingen on January 1, 1975 :
- The place Metterzimmer and the Waldhof belonged to Bietigheim since 1930 , the Wilhelmshof since 1960 , as well as the abandoned villages of Burg Ebersberg, Hegnach, Hegenau since ancient times. The former village of Hofen has merged into Bietigheim. Within Bietigheim, a distinction is sometimes made between residential areas with their own name, e.g. B. the former settlement of the worsted spinning mill and the new settlements of Buch , Sand , Lug and Kreuzäcker and Kreuzäcker / Ellental .
- Bissingen to the earlier included Großsachsenheim corresponding place Untermberg , the homestead Schellenhof and residential places power plant and grinding mill and dialed villages Böllingen and Remmigheim .
Urban development
The old town of Bietigheim lies above the northern bank of the Metter, immediately before the confluence of the Metter into the Enz. Through various new development areas such as Buch in the south and Sand in the east, Lug in the north, Ahlesbrunnen / Helenenburg in the north-west or Kreuzäcker / Ellental in the south-west, it is part of one rapid population increase, especially in the 1960s, "outgrew" the basin formed by Enz and Metter.
The district of Bissingen is located southwest of Bietigheim on the right Enzufer. With its eastward expansion at Bruchwald and the adjoining station / Aurain area , it has now grown together with other urban areas around the main station. The Laiern industrial park, which has been considerably expanded since the 1990s, closed the gap between Bruchwald and Buch .
The Untermberg district to the west of Bissingen on the north side of the Enz and the Metterzimmer district to the west of Bietigheim above the Metter , which have retained their village character, have not yet grown together with the rest of the city .

history
Local foundations
Archaeological finds from the Neolithic Age show the first settlements as early as 6000 to 5000 BC. BC, although no continuity is likely. After the Romans withdrew, Alemannic clans built their hamlets from the 4th century, preferably at the foot of the slope, directly above the valley floodplain. The “ingen” ending of Bissingen and Böllingen suggests that the town was founded during the Alemannic conquest. Due to its “heim” ending, however, Bietigheim seems to have been founded only in the course of the Frankish conquest during the 6th century. It is also possible, however, that the Franconians who initially advanced as far as the Enz have renamed an Alemannic place called “Büdingen” to “Büdincheim”. In the case of the desert, which is also to the left of the Enz, at the western end of the marking, both variants have been handed down: Remmingen and Remmigheim . Untermberg, originally "Remmingen underm Berg", was not founded as an alternative location for Remmingen until the end of the 14th century, probably initiated by the new rulers at Altsachsenheim Castle . The addition “Metter” was added to the place Metterzimmer , which was called “Zymbern” in the Middle Ages , in order to distinguish it from the numerous communities with the same name. Its founding time is said to be in the High Middle Ages.

Bietigheim district
For the first time Bietigheim 789 as Budinc-home documented; however, settlements that benefited from the convenient location at a natural ford are likely to have emerged much earlier. Until the 3rd century AD, there was evidence that the Collegium Matisonensium was a community of estate owners on the banks of the Metter. Grave fields from the 5th to 7th centuries also point to settlements of the Alemanni on the present day demarcation of the city.
In the 13th century there was Bietigheim Castle in the area of today's town church and wine press , which was shared by several Ganerbe and whose castle tower (which collapsed in 1542) can be found in the town's coat of arms. In competition with the Lords of Venningen , who were related to the Lords of Remmigheim , the Counts of Württemberg prevailed as local lords. In 1364, Count Eberhard II of Württemberg granted Bietigheim town charter , primarily in order to be able to militarily secure the strategically important Enz crossing. Viticulture, which was accelerated in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the increasing wine trade developed as a source of bourgeois prosperity and an economic basis for urban development. The city eventually became the Württemberg Office City levied. After 1600, apart from Bietigheim, only Metterzimmer, Groß- and Kleiningersheim belonged to their administrative district (see map of the “Bietgkhaimer Beamptung”). In addition, the Bietigheim office was responsible for the proportion of Württemberg subjects in Löchgau .
The Thirty Years' War brought the city after the Battle of Nördlingen (1634) due to plague , crew terror and famine a dramatic population decline from the original 1,800 to only 200 inhabitants. The "French invasions" that followed a little later in the course of the Palatinate and Spanish War of Succession caused further setbacks. From 1704 the city became the "construction aid" of the newly emerging Ludwigsburg Palace and the associated new buildings such as the state porcelain factory. Many Bietigheimer were involved in the construction and had Frondienste afford. With the royal seat of Ludwigsburg, founded in 1718, the neighboring cities of Marbach , Bietigheim and Markgröningen also faced overwhelming local competition. In their slipstream, falling wine prices intensified the economically precarious situation of the city, which was initially unable to free itself from the ongoing stagnation phase.
Towards the end of the 18th century, Bietigheim recorded an improvement in living conditions and an increase in population in the course of the beginning industrialization . The Oberamt Bietigheim , established in the year the Kingdom of Württemberg was founded (1806), was dissolved again in 1810: As part of an administrative reorganization , the city and its municipalities were integrated into the Oberamt Besigheim . After Bietigheim was connected to the newly emerging rail network of the Württemberg State Railways on October 11, 1847 and the station had developed into an important junction with the branching off of the Western Railway over the viaduct , the city experienced a real breakthrough and a sustained upswing. At the end of the 19th century there were 3800 inhabitants. In 1930 the Metterzimmer community voluntarily joined the city of Bietigheim. When the Oberamt Besigheim was dissolved in 1938, Bietigheim came to the new Ludwigsburg district .
A local group of the NSDAP had existed in Bietigheim since 1928. Until 1933 it remained relatively small with 51 members, after the seizure of power there was a larger leap in membership with 181 new members, after which the number of party members increased continuously, but again only slightly. By the end of Nazi rule there were 939 party members in Bietigheim, which was 10.4 percent of the total population in 1945.
After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the central Bietigheim transit camp was set up in Bietigheim for thousands of abducted women and men, who were "redistributed" from here for forced labor . The sick and those unable to work were taken to so-called “sick camps”, that is to say in camouflaged death camps. At least 198 people were killed here who are buried in the St. Peter cemetery on Pforzheimer Straße. Inmates of the camp were used, among other things, in the construction of the air raid shelter at the Gaishalde .
During the Second World War , the city was spared major war damage despite repeated air raids on the railway viaduct, in which 19 residents and 5 soldiers were killed. Bietigheim was 2% destroyed. In April 1945 the Enz formed the front between the Axis Powers and the Allies for ten days . Since the city had become part of the American zone of occupation after the Second World War , it had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was merged into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. After the war, the city experienced a large increase in population from 14,000 to around 43,000 today, which is mainly due to the regional reform and the relatively high immigration of expellees and resettlers . In the mid-1960s, the population of the city of Bietigheim exceeded the 20,000 limit, whereupon the city administration submitted an application to be elevated to the status of a major district town , which the Baden-Württemberg state government then decided with effect from January 1, 1967. On January 1, 1975 the union with the community of Bissingen took place.
Bissingen district
Also Bissingen an der Enz can look back on a history to the early Middle Ages. It was first mentioned in a document around 870. In 991 it was called Buss inga , around 1100 or 1293 Bussingen (probably after a personal name). The church in the village was owned by the Weissenburg Monastery in the 9th century . At the beginning of the 12th century the Hirsau Monastery sold goods in Bissingen and later acquired new goods from Segeward von Bissingen. In 1339, Count Eberhard II of Württemberg bought half of the town of Bissingen from the Counts of Vaihingen . The other half belonged to the Lords of Sachsenheim as Vaihinger, since 1360 as a Württemberg fief. In 1480/81 Württemberg was able to acquire part of this fief. With the extinction of the Lords of Sachsenheim in 1561, the whole place came to Württemberg and belonged to the Oberamt Grüningen until 1718 and from 1722 to 1807 . Since the 15th century, ecclesiastical rule had been in the hands of the largely autonomous Grüninger Heilig-Geist-Spital , whose logo can therefore be found in the local coat of arms of Bissingen. In addition, the St. Peter's Church in Bietigheim and the Jacob's Church in Remmigheim were subordinate to the hospital brothers.
During the Thirty Years' War , Bissingen was largely destroyed by fire in 1634. In 1693, French troops again burned 42 houses. In the 18th century a porcelain and quartz mill was set up in Bissingen for the Ludwigsburg factory. The Enz rafting company to the Bissinger wood warehouse, which was developed through the expansion of the Remminger rafting canal and the specially created “wood road” , had greater economic importance . In 1854 the Bissinger Mühle, which once belonged to the Lords of Sachsenheim, was sold to Karl Rommel, who expanded the Rommelmühle after the fire of 1903 into the largest grain mill in Württemberg. From 1909 to 1912 , the Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH , initiated by Wilhelm Maybach and Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin , was based in Bissingen .
After the Oberamt Markgröningen was dissolved in 1807 , the place finally became part of the Oberamt Ludwigsburg , from which the Ludwigsburg district emerged in 1938 . In 1945 Bissingen was in the front for a few days and suffered damage to the building from artillery fire ; 38 people were killed. In 1953, the hamlet of Untermberg , which had previously belonged to Großsachsenheim , was moved to Bissingen in order to take account of the strong economic dependence on the municipality on the opposite Enzufer. With Untermberg the former Remmigheim mark came to Bissingen. On January 1, 1975 the union with the city of Bietigheim took place.

badges and flags
The coat of arms of the city of Bietigheim-Bissingen shows: "In red a conical, silver crenellated tower, above the black arched gate in the base a blue patriarchal high cross with a split foot." Awarded in July 1976 by the Stuttgart Regional Council.
The coat of arms contains the symbols of the two formerly independent municipalities of Bietigheim and Bissingen an der Enz, which were united in 1975 to form the new town of Bietigheim-Bissingen. The Zinnenturm, which can be traced back to 1474, comes from the old Bietigheim coat of arms. It symbolizes a castle tower which collapsed in 1542 and which last served as the bell tower of the town church. The patriarchal high cross is taken from the old Bissingen coat of arms and comes from the markstones of the Grüninger Heilig-Geist-Spital , which acquired the church patronage in Bissingen around 1400 and held it until its dissolution.
The coats of arms of the communities that were absorbed in Bietigheim-Bissingen were as follows:
_COA.svg)
Bietigheim :
"In red a conical, silver round crenellated tower with a protruding base, inside a black arched gate, and a protruding top."
Bissingen an der Enz :
"In blue a golden patriarchal cross with a split foot, the golden capital letter 'B' pushed to the left of the trunk" ".
Metterzimmer :
"A four-spoke and four-blade red mill wheel in silver".
Untermberg :
Above the ruins of Altsachsenheim the initials U. B. and three Württemberger deer sticks
The flag actually used by Bietigheim-Bissingen differs significantly from the approved white and red form (picture left): It shows a black, then eleven red and white and finally a yellow stripes from top to bottom; in the middle of the flag is the coat of arms. This striped flag was adopted by the city of Bietigheim, where it had been in use since 1950 at the latest.
Town twinning
Bietigheim-Bissingen maintains city partnerships with the following cities:
| Twin town | Administrative unit | Country | since |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kusatsu ( 草津 町 ) | Gunma Prefecture |
 Japan

The city partnership with the Japanese city of Kusatsu goes back to Erwin Bälz , who was born in Bietigheim in 1849 and who, as a professor at the Imperial University of Tokyo and as personal physician to the Imperial Family, discovered the hot sulfur springs of Kusatsu as a remedy and made the city famous as a spa .
The town twinning with the town of Sucy-en-Brie in the Parisian banlieue and the town of Surrey Heath , just outside London , were based, like all town twinning between German and Western European towns, on the idea of reconciliation in the 1960s and 1970s . As a result of these partnerships, there are still numerous student exchanges between the schools in the twin cities.

The town twinning with the southern Hungarian town of Szekszárd was initiated during the Cold War . It was based on the conviction that by opening up to the Warsaw Pact states, it would be able to make a contribution to international understanding .
In 1999, Bietigheim-Bissingen's most recent partnership with the US city of Overland Park in Kansas was finally sealed. This was preceded by more than 20 years of youth exchanges between the city music school and the orchestras of the Shawnee Mission Schools. This exchange will continue to be maintained.
Sponsored city
Since many new residents of the city were expelled from the area around Zuckmantel (Zlaté Hory) in the Czech district of Freiwaldau (Okres Jeseník) , the city of Bietigheim took over the sponsorship of this city in the Jeseníky Mountains in 1965 .
Friendly contacts
Friendship encounters have been taking place with the northern Italian city of Pontelongo (province of Padua, 4000 inhabitants) since 1974 , which can be traced back to contacts between residents of Bietigheim-Bissingen and guest workers from Pontelongo.
Another friendship exists with the South Tyrolean municipality of Andrian (Autonomous Province of Bolzano - South Tyrol, 900 inhabitants). This contact goes back to the former Bissingen councilor Reinhold Mahl, who made new friends during his war there .
The city of Bietigheim, or today Bietigheim-Bissingen, has been on friendly terms with its namesake, the community of Bietigheim in Baden, since 1967. Every year, personal contacts are deepened through visits to the Bietigheimer Volksfest in Baden at the end of July / beginning of August and the Bietigheimer horse market in Swabia at the beginning of September.

religion
Until the Reformation , which was introduced in Württemberg from 1534, Bietigheim, Bissingen, Metterzimmer and Untermberg and Remmigheim belonged to the Land Chapter Vaihingen in the Archdeaconate Trinity of the Diocese of Speyer . For many centuries from the 16th century onwards, these communities were predominantly Protestant . In 1556 Bietigheim became the seat of a deanery , but in 1813 it was moved to Besigheim. Since then, the parish of Bietigheim has belonged to the dean's office or church district Besigheim . In addition to the town church, the Friedenskirche was built in 1954 and the Pauluskirche in 1968 and separate parishes were founded, which today form the Bietigheim parish. The parish of Bissingen today has two churches, the old Kilian Church and the Martin Luther Church, built in 1965. The parish of Metterzimmer has a church built in 1906 after the old Gothic church was destroyed by a lightning strike in 1905. The parishes Bissingen and Metterzimmern belong to the deanery Besigheim within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Württemberg .
Catholics also moved to Bietigheim in the 19th century . In 1884 the Catholic garrison parish of Hohenasperg was relocated to Bietigheim and its own parish was founded there, which was able to build its own St. Laurentius church in 1888. In 1955/56, however, the church was replaced by a new building. Another Catholic church in Bietigheim is St. Johannes. In the district of Bissingen there is another Catholic parish "Zum Guten Hirten", which was able to build its church in 1970. All three parishes now form the Bietigheim-Bissingen pastoral care unit within the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches in Bietigheim-Bissingen , including a Methodist Church , a Baptist congregation , two Brethren congregations and the “People's Mission of Resident Christians”, which belongs to the Bund Freikirchlicher Pentecostal congregations . The New Apostolic Church in Bietigheim-Bissingen is also represented, as are two free Aramaic Christian communities.
Two Orthodox churches are also represented in Bietigheim-Bissingen, on the one hand the Greek Orthodox Church. The community owns a church and the associated center in Besigheimer Straße. The other is the Syrian Orthodox Mor (Sankt) Petrus & Paulus congregation. The congregation consecrated their newly built church in the hop gardens in September 2019.
Culture and sights
Buildings
The Bietigheimer Eisenbahnviadukt , the symbol of the city, was built between April 1851 and October 1853 by Karl Etzel together with A. Beckh in the style of a Roman aqueduct . The Westbahn Bietigheim – Bruchsal runs over the viaduct . Next to the Bietigheim-Bissingen train station is the 70-meter-high Sky tower .
Old town Bietigheim
The most important building of the Old Town is the Bietigheimer Hornmoldhaus , one of the best preserved town houses of the Renaissance in southern Germany. The house was built in 1535/36 by Sebastian Hornmold the Elder . The interior paintings from the Renaissance period are particularly worth seeing. Today the house houses the city museum.
The town hall of the city of Bietigheim (until the end of 1974) and the united city of Bietigheim-Bissingen (since 1975) was built in 1507. Since the 18th century it has been equipped with an art clock on the front, which has an astronomical display above the bourgeois clock, with the disc of which the current moon phase can be displayed. The Bietigheim Castle, built in 1546, was completely renovated between 2000 and 2002. In addition to the music college and adult education center, it now houses various event rooms and a restaurant.
Overall, the old town is characterized by a large number of half-timbered houses . In addition to the Hornmoldhaus already mentioned, the Latin School (built in 1476) and the Physikat (built in 1568) should be emphasized. The German half-timbered road runs through Bietigheim-Bissingen and extends from the Elbe to Lake Constance .
The Bietigheim Castle , built from 1506, served as the Württemberg official castle . The construction was a consequence of the elevation of Bietigheim to the Württemberg municipal city. In 1542 it was expanded to the size it is today. After a fire in 1707, the castle was rebuilt over the next five years. In the period from the 19th century to the turn of the millennium, the tax office was located in the castle. After four years of renovation (2000–2003), it now serves as a cultural center.
Numerous elements of the medieval city fortifications are still preserved today. This includes the powder tower built in the 15th century with battlements , which served as the north-eastern corner tower of the city fortifications. The side of the tower facing the city was built in an open form, so that the tower could not be used as a fortress against the city after any enemy conquest. After the city sold the tower, which was regarded as useless, to the neighboring baker Johann Christoph Müller in 1821, it finally bought it back in 1950 from Müller's descendants. Therefore, the powder tower is commonly referred to as "Beckenmüller's tower".
As the first stone bridge in the wider area, the old Enz bridge over the confluence of the Enz and Metter rivers was built between 1463 and 1467 under the direction of the Markgröningen church builder Aberlin Jörg (* around 1420, † around 1493) . It especially strengthened the attractiveness of the city, which was booming at the time, as a traffic attraction. With the help of the "bridge money", a kind of toll for the use of bridges, it was possible to cover the immense costs of building and maintaining the Enz Bridge. It withstood all the floods of the Enz until it was blown up in 1945 by German troops in retreat. Immediately after the end of the war, it was rebuilt on the spot. Only the arch over the Metter has been preserved from the old Enz bridge.
The Protestant town church , located on the northern outskirts of the old town, was built around 1400 above the altar of the castle chapel. The on the north side directly adjacent keep the castle Bietigheim served as a bell tower . As a parish church , it replaced the Peterskirche (today's cemetery church) in 1496. In 1542 the town church was partially destroyed by the collapse of the castle tower. In the following years the ship was expanded; the church was Gothicized in 1891/92 by Heinrich Dolmetsch (* January 24, 1846, † July 25, 1908) , but this was reversed from 1972 to 1974.
The central manorial (castle) wine press is located in the immediate vicinity of the town church . After its destruction in 1542 as a result of the collapse of the keep, it was expanded to its present-day size. Immediately after a fire caused by a lightning strike in 1762, the wine press was rebuilt with a column-free interior under the hipped roof with a hanging structure for four wine presses (so-called " wine press trees "). In 1983/84 the renovation and expansion into an event room took place.
The only one of the four city gates that have survived to this day is the Lower Gate , which was built towards the end of the 14th century. As with the Powder Tower, it was originally an open shell tower construction, which was closed by a half-timbered wall around 1500. In the 16th century a roof lantern with a bell was installed to announce the closing of the gates every evening to the residents of the city. The side pedestrian gates that exist today have replaced the former loopholes since the early 1930s . The inscription on the outside of the gate reads: Hie gut Wirtemberg allweg .
Bissingen
The Rommelmühle , built in 1904, is evidence of the early industrial use of water power . It is a former seven-story large mill. After the closure in 1996, the building was converted into an ecologically oriented residential and commercial building.
The late Gothic Kilian's Church was built between 1517 and 1520. It is characterized by a remarkable interior painting with frescoes from the 17th century. The painting was carried out in 1677 and 1691. The post-Reformation pictures all take up biblical motifs.
The new town hall was built in 1968. The building designed by the architect Ostertag is an asymmetrical, yet closed-looking cube with a blue-tiled facade. Since it was built shortly before the merger with the larger neighboring town of Bietigheim in 1975, it is often interpreted as a symbol of Bissinger's independence. The old town hall has also been preserved.
The most imposing town house in Bissing still in existence is the Untere Vattersche Hof. The house was built in the 17th century. It is the remainder of what was once a large, closed courtyard.
Untermberg
Immediately above the historic center of Untermberg is the ruin Altsachsenheim , which, however, belongs to the Sachsenheim district. The castle of the Lords of Sachsenheim was probably built in the 13th or early 14th century. The "Mouse Tower" belonging to the castle is within sight of Altsachsenheim. The round stone building, renovated in 1574, is said to have served as a security post and as a customs post on the road from Großsachsenheim via Remmigheim to Markgröningen , which was later used as a post route .
Metterzimmer
The oldest surviving building in Metterzimmer is the cloister courtyard from 1599. Also worth seeing is the Haus am Gallbrunnen, a farmhouse from the beginning of the 17th century that was restored in 1983. The town hall from 1809 lost its function when it was incorporated in 1930. The Art Nouveau Church of St. Michael was consecrated in 1906 after the previous Gothic building was destroyed by lightning in 1905.
art
The painter and sculptor Richard Hohly (1902–1995) lived on site for a long time in the Felsengarten gallery. His work is very varied and ranged from horse depictions to religious things to images of the cosmos. It has been shown in many exhibitions.
The writer Otto Rombach (1904–1984) also lived and worked in Bietigheim for a long time. The city library was named after him.
Sculpture Bietigheim-Bissingen

Municipal gallery
In 1989 the gallery was opened in the heart of the old town in a former grain barn on the occasion of the 1200th anniversary of the city, and a new building was added in 2000. In the old part, the city's own collections with a focus on linocut are shown as a permanent exhibition . In the new building there are temporary exhibitions that are also attracting national attention (including 2004: Schmidt-Rottluff , Aquarelle; 2005: Picasso , linocuts). The graphics prize of the city of Bietigheim-Bissingen " Linocuts Today " is awarded every three years .
Memorials
In front of the town church in Bietigheim, a memorial stone by the Austrian sculptor Alfred Hrdlicka commemorates the Protestant opponent of Hitler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer , who was murdered in the Flossenbürg concentration camp in 1945 . There are also grave fields and memorial plaques in the St. Peter cemetery , which commemorate 198 women, children and men who were deported to Germany during the Second World War and who were victims of forced labor . Polish survivors added another plaque to this memorial in 1989 with the names of 44 victims.

Gardens
On the occasion of the Baden-Württemberg State Horticultural Show, which took place in Bietigheim-Bissingen in 1989 - the city's 1200th anniversary at the same time - the community garden was laid out on the edge of Bietigheim's old town. This consists of a large grassy area, a colorful mixture of different plants along the small paths within the facility, as well as a fountain , which is mainly operated in summer , whose watercourse moves down pool by pool. Today the Bürgergarten serves as a place to relax and recuperate and is sometimes used by children for swimming.
The so-called Japanese garden was built on the banks of the Metter in honor of Erwin Bälz (born January 13, 1849 in Bietigheim-Bissingen; † August 31, 1913) . Balz was, among other things, personal physician to the imperial family and co-founder of modern medicine in Japan . Through his achievement of making the hot sulfur springs in the city of Kusatsu usable for healing purposes, the relationships between Bietigheim and Kusatsu developed and deepened and led to the city partnership in 1962. On the occasion of the State Garden Show in 1989, the Japanese garden was redesigned by the Japanese horticultural artist Jun Susuki. The garden has always served as a suitable place for handing over gifts from Japan. The complex also includes stone lanterns, haiku spelling stones, a stone bridge and a nearly two meter high memorial stone for Erwin Bälz.
