location

Milestone "2657" on the Danube

Binzwangen is located south of the Alb directly on the Upper Swabian Danube between Riedlingen and Mengen , about four kilometers west of the community capital Ertingen. The center and most of the residential development are on the left bank of the Danube on the slope of the Danube valley and at its foot. On the right bank of the river, in the Donauried, are the industrial and sports areas.

history

Prehistory and early history

The oldest traces of settlement in the area of ​​Binzwangen come from the Celts who settled on the Heuneburg south of the village towards Hundersingen . At the turn of the ages, the Romans penetrated the area, who were driven out by the Alemanni around the year 260.

The place itself is mentioned for the first time in 805 when it was donated to the monastery of St. Gallen by the princes Chadeloh and Wago. How long St. Gallen had an influence on Binzwangen is unclear. The Binzwangen castle of the Lords of Binzwangen was first mentioned in 1241.

Middle Ages and Modern Times

In the 13th century, Binzwangen was divided between the Counts of Justingen and those of Grüningen-Landau . These were based in Landau Castle near today's Landauhof north of Binzwangen.

Anselm von Justingen sold his part to the Heiligkreuztal monastery in 1275 . In 1282 and 1289 Walter von Ingstetten and Conrad von Thalheim also sold their fiefs to Heiligkreuztal with the approval of their feudal lords, those of Grüningen. The parish was founded in 1382 with the help of Henry III. by Brandis, the then Bishop of Konstanz , incorporated into the Heiligkreuztal monastery.

In 1437 the Counts of Grüningen-Landau sold their estates in Binzwangen, including Landau Castle, to the Truchsessen von Waldburg, who also sold to Heiligkreuztal in 1443. Together with this, Binzwangen belonged to Austrian Swabia and from 1753 to the Upper Austrian Upper Office of Nellenburg .

From secularization to World War II

In 1803, Binzwangen came to Württemberg through secularization . It formed the community "Binswangen mit Landauhof" (see Landau Castle ) in the Oberamt Riedlingen of the Württemberg Danube district .

The new parish church was built in 1854, the old one was demolished in 1852 because of the risk of collapse. The construction was preceded by a legal dispute with the Kingdom of Württemberg over the assumption of the costs.

In 1930 the first concrete bridge was built over the Danube. Before that there was only a wooden bridge.

When the Oberamt Riedlingen was dissolved in 1938, Binzwangen came to the Saulgau district .

On the night of April 23, 1945, in the final phase of World War II, the Danube bridge was blown up and completely destroyed (the process also caused damage to numerous buildings in the lower village). In 1951 a new bridge was built.

Post-war until today

In 1963 a new school building was built, but from 1970 to 1975 all classes were gradually relocated to Ertingen. Today the building houses the local administration and the kindergarten, and it also provides rooms for associations.

In the course of the regional reform , Binzwangen came to the district of Biberach after the Saulgau district was dissolved on January 1, 1973, and on January 1, 1975 it was finally incorporated into Ertingen.

In 1989 the multi-purpose hall was completed, which was given the name Binsenberghalle after a structural expansion. On June 14, 1990, today's Danube bridge was inaugurated. The bridge, which was built in 1951 and has since become dilapidated, had been blown up the previous month.
