Boll is the name of a former municipality in the district of Waldshut , which has belonged to the town of Bonndorf in the Black Forest since it was incorporated in 1971 . Boll has, among other things, access to the Wutach Gorge , where the largely dilapidated, former Bad Boll is located at a healing spring.

history

The name of the place comes from bol ( Old High German : hill) and refers to the Neu-Tannegg (Boll) castle . It was built in the 12th century on a mountain slope above a transition over the Wutach by the Lords of Boll. Another interpretation could be the church, which was also built on a Bühl ( hill ) and with its walled churchyard should serve as a bulwark for the inhabitants . Tannegg Castle (Alt-Tannegg), which is now almost completely gone, has also stood on a steep hill in the Wutachhalde since 1100 . A bathing house owned by the local gentlemen from Tannegg an der Wutach was the nucleus of what would later become Bad Boll . The origin of the place was initially a single farm, the "Haus zu Boll". In 1603, however, this had already developed into a settlement with 169 inhabitants who were Mörspergian serfs. Thus Boll belonged to the imperial rule Bonndorf . Joachim Christoph von Mörsberg sold the Bonndorf estate to the St. Blasien monastery in 1609 because of excessive indebtedness . Until secularization in 1806, Boll belonged to the St. Blasien monastery and then moved to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became an independent municipality. On July 1, 1971, Boll was incorporated into the town of Bonndorf in the Black Forest.

Religion and church

The village church of the Conception of Mary is one of the oldest churches in the area and is surrounded by the cemetery. The current building dates from 1664 and replaced an older one that had been destroyed by fire. The rectory, which probably dates from the 14th or 15th century, was later converted into the Upper Mill. With the sale of Bonndorf and thus also of Boll in 1609 to the St. Blasien monastery, Boll was added to the parish of Gündelwangen . The church, which is now baroque inside , was extensively renovated in the early 1970s and in 2007. In 2000 the parish of Gündelwangen was integrated with the branch church Boll into the pastoral care unit Bonndorf-Wutach.

Below the village, on the street to Schattenmühle, the Brother Klaus Chapel , which is now mostly referred to as the Peace Chapel , was built on the basis of personal vows by three families from Boll and Cologne in the first year after the war in 1946 . On the footpath from Boll to Bonndorf is the Josefskapelle from the 17th century .

Mill Boll

Mill Boll

The origin of the mill building can probably be dated to the 14th or 15th century, because the building originally served as a rectory for the church in the immediate vicinity. It was not until the beginning of the 17th century, when the parish of Boll was ecclesiastically added to the parish of Gündelwangen and the rectory was thus superfluous, that it was converted into a grain mill.

The mill was operated exclusively with water power, whereby the required water was taken from the local mill pond and passed on via a stream and partly underground pipeline system to the overshot water wheel. In 1925, the waterwheel made entirely of wood at that time was replaced by a steel-construction waterwheel with a diameter of approx. 6 m, which still exists today. The water wheel drives the two grinding gears via a crown gear and a spur gear, which can be individually engaged and disengaged. In addition, there is a so-called vertical shaft that - driven by a spur gear that can also be engaged and disengaged - transmits the power of the mill wheel throughout the mill building over three additional floors and various transmissions to the various machines and to the elevator installed in 1902.

Although the water supply had to be interrupted in 1972 due to road renovation measures and the operation as a commercial mill had to be discontinued, you can see the entire technology in full function in today's museum operation, because all grinding aisles, machines and also the elevator can be operated by means of several centrally installed electric motors.

traffic

Boll is connected to Bonndorf by a district road, which leads from there to the L170 road, which is the first public, drivable Wutach crossing at the Schattenmühle. Until this road was built, von Boll's only road connection ran from the Bonndorf area via the Wutach to Löffingen on the Baar . This road connection existed until 1873, had gradients of up to 18% and crossed the Wutach at the boundary on a flood-proof bridge near Oberdietfurt. With the construction of the new road connection over the Schattenmühle, the bridge near Oberdietfurt was demolished. The former road, which is still lined with old defensive stones, is now used as an economic and hiking trail. Boll is served by a bus line and the Wutachschlucht hiking bus.

Culture and sights

Boll offers two entrances to the Wutach Gorge . One access leads directly below the village via Neu-Tannegg Castle to Bad Boll into the nature reserve . The other access also leads via the old country road into the gorge, a little further up the river near Dietfurt.
