Binsdorf is a district of Geislingen near Balingen in the Zollernalb district in Baden-Württemberg .

Binsdorf is bordered by the Erlaheim markings in the east, Rosenfeld in the west and Geislingen in the southeast.

history

Middle and Neolithic stone tools were found in and around Binsdorf (approx. 2000 BC), which suggests an early settlement. As the name suggests, the settlement dates back to the Carolingian era. Binsdorf was first mentioned in 843 as Binztorph .

The name Binztorph probably originated from the rushes growing in the area .

The parish of Binsdorf was first mentioned in 1275 and a women's monastery was founded as a beguinage around 1280 . In 1312, the monastery submitted to the protection of the Dominican Order. The monastery was operated until secularization in 1806 and ownership fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg . In the following year this sold the monastery building to the Binsdorfer church maintenance. A pension was awarded to the nuns who were still living in the monastery and they were given the right to live for life.

On November 29, 1315, at the request of Count Rudolf von Hohenberg, King Friedrich von Habsburg granted Binsdorf town charter. Binsdorf was one of the cities in southern Germany with the fewest inhabitants.

From 1325 to at least 1353 the city was transferred to the Lords of Ow. On October 26, 1381, Duke Leopold of Austria bought the town back, so that from then on it was part of Upper Austria . In 1390 Saint Mark was named patron saint of the church.

Binsdorf fell victim to the flames three times in its history (before 1513, on September 8, 1799 and on September 17, 1904). In the case of the last two, the monastery and church were spared from destruction.

In 1586 and 1609–1611 the plague raged in Binsdorf.

The Loreto Chapel was probably inaugurated on July 26, 1628 on the Kesselberg north-east of the city. It is the second oldest Loreto chapel in Baden-Württemberg. The chapel was last extensively renovated by the "Förderverein Loretokapelle Binsdorf eV" between 1997 and 2000.

In 1805 Binsdorf came to the Electorate of Württemberg and in 1808 was affiliated to the Oberamt Sulz , which was part of the Kingdom of Württemberg until 1918 and then of the Free People's State of Württemberg .

In 1835 the existing city church was replaced by a new building, which was built south of the previous church and continued to use the same church tower. A new church tower was subsequently built between 1885 and 1887.

Only after the last town fire did Binsdorf receive a water pipe in 1905 (construction started). Six years later the city was connected to the power grid.

During the district reforms during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Binsdorf came to the Sulz district in 1934 and to the Balingen district in 1938 .

After the Second World War, Binsdorf fell into the French occupation zone and was thus assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947, which in 1952 became the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

As a result of the district reform , Binsdorf became part of the Zollernalb district on January 1, 1973.

In the course of the community reform, Binsdorf lost its independence on January 1, 1974 and was incorporated into the community of Geislingen, which became a town.

On 11/12 In July 2015, the city celebrated its 700th anniversary, in the course of which a chronicle on the city's history was published.

politics

Since it was incorporated in 1974, Binsdorf has been run by a local mayor. The mayor has been Hans-Jürgen Weger since 2004. Previously, Gerhard Mozer (1998–2004), Karl Stehle (1990–1998), Max Pauli (1975–1990) and Friedrich Kasper (1973–1975) held this office.

The Binsdorf coat of arms

Since March 19, 1959, Binsdorf had a new coat of arms to differentiate itself from the city coat of arms of Schömberg . This shows a St. Mark's lion and thus also the relation to St. Mark's Church. The peculiarity of the coat of arms is the human face of the lion.

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: "Divided by silver and red in a silver shield head, a red St. Mark's lion ."

The St. Mark's lion is the symbol of the patron saint of the city of Binsdorf, St. Mark . The coat of arms, divided in white and red, goes back to the Counts of Hohenberg , whose possession Binsdorf used to be part of.
