Brunnadern is a district of the Baden-Württemberg town of Bonndorf in the Black Forest in the Waldshut district .

geography

Brunnadern is located in a side valley with many springs north of the Ehrenbach valley. A large part of the Brunnadern district has a shell limestone cover . In the area of ​​the Ehrenbach valley, the primary rock emerges in the form of Wellendinger granite, which in turn is covered in large areas by a sandstone transition zone.

history

Alemannic settlers are likely to have opened up the Brunnadern valley in the 7th century AD. Finds of graves with pieces of jewelery, weapons and other grave goods were found in a quarry and at two tuff fractures in 1827/28 and 1938 . The finds are now in the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Freiburg. The first documentary mention takes place 400 years later when King Heinrich IV on June 8th 1065 confirmed the possession of an estate in Brunnaderon to the monastery of St. Blasien . In the early Middle Ages, Brunnadern was under the Gaugrafen as part of the Albgau and later belonged to the Counts of Stühlingen . After several changes of rule, it came to the Barons von Mörsberg in 1589 , who in turn had to sell his rule to the St. Blasien monastery in 1609. Until the secularization and the dissolution of the monastery in 1806, Brunnadern belonged to the Saint Blasian imperial rule of Bonndorf and then became an independent municipality in the Grand Duchy of Baden . On January 1, 1975, Brunnadern became a Bonndorfer district by law.

Religion and church

St. Nicholas Church Brunnadern

Brunnadern was never an independent parish, but originally belonged to the Martinus Church in Schwaningen with the municipality of Wangen, which is on the opposite side of the Ehrenbach valley. When Wangen was separated from the parish of Schwaningen in the 13th century and became an independent parish, Brunnadern was divided up. Those above the street ("ob de Gaß") were added to the parish of Oberwangen, those "below the street" stayed with Schwaningen. The place of burial was also in Wangen or Schwaningen, depending on the affiliation. When in 1434 the parish of Oberwangen was dissolved due to depopulation due to the plague and the parish of Bettmaringen was added, one part of Brunnadern also came to the parish of Bettmaringen. During the reorganization after the Thirty Years' War in 1659, the residents "ob der Gaß" came to the much closer parish of Dillendorf Dillendorf , who stayed "under the Gass" near Schwaningen. It was not until 1920 that Brunnadern came to the parish of Dillendorf entirely as a branch parish, among other things because a large old Catholic community had formed in Schwaningen . In 2000, the parish of Dillendorf and the Brunnadern branch came to the pastoral care unit Bonndorf-Wutach

Choir with neo-Gothic high altar

A first church building in Brunnadern is mentioned around 1360/70 in connection with the parish of Schwaningen . This village chapel or a possible successor building was devastated and profaned during the Thirty Years War. In 1659 a new church was built and consecrated by the Constance Auxiliary Bishop Jerg Sigmund, who was followed a few years later by a new baroque building, which was consecrated to Saint Nicholas . Until then, St. Lawrence was the church patron. When a large part of the village burned down on August 1, 1900, the Nikolauskirche also burned down. It was rebuilt in its original form with a sacristy added . The church is adorned with a neo-Gothic high altar, which was created by Joseph Dettlinger . A crucifixion group is flanked by two statues, the church patron St. Nicholas and the former patron St. Laurentius. In the roof turret of the church there are two bells that can still be rung by hand today. The smaller Laurentius bell was cast in 1902 by the Johann Koch foundry in Freiburg , the larger in 1923 by the Benjamin Grüninger foundry in Villingen in the Black Forest .

Commercial agriculture

Brunnadern was purely agricultural. In addition to the remaining full-time and part-time farms, there are now commuters in Brunnadern, mostly to Bonndorf or Stühlingen. The many springs in the area of ​​the village led to the construction of a mill early on, which is first mentioned in 1345. When the mill died out in the middle of the last century, the mill also died and was demolished in 1966. The tufa-lime near Brunnadern was extracted in several quarries until 1959. Until the Second World War, porphyry , which was broken up by hand into gravel for road and rail construction, was mined at the valley exit . The city of Bonndorf intended to set up an 8 hectare quarry in the immediate vicinity of Brunnadern for the extraction of Wellendinger granite. However, there was massive resistance from the people of Brunnadern and the surrounding area. In the further course of the planning, an expert opinion provided the certainty that the granite at the planned mining site is covered by a layer of red sandstone up to 25 m thick , which makes mining uneconomical.
