history

Cleebronn with Magenheim Castle in Andreas Kieser's forest warehouse books (1684)

Until the 18th century

Cleebronn was first mentioned in a document in 1279 under the name Kleberen . Later forms of the name were Clobern and Cleibern , Cleebrunn was mentioned in 1291 , in the 15th century it became Cleebronn . The name is traced back to the fact that the place, which was probably created as a hamlet of the nearby Niedermagenheim Castle, was in the Kleibern , i.e. in a wet meadow valley with clay .

In the 13th century belonged to the Electorate of Mainz , i.e. the secular electoral state (the Archbishopric Mainz, also known as Kurmainz ), goods and rights around the Michaelsberg that were taken over from the Lorsch Monastery , with which the Lords of Magenheim residing in Cleebronn were enfeoffed . In the 14th century (1367 at the latest) Württemberg acquired about two thirds of the place as Württembergisch Cleebronn ; the remaining third remained in the ownership of the Electorate of Mainz as Mainzisch Cleebronn , but was pledged several times, for example in 1727 to the Electorate of Mainz and Privy Councilor Johann Philipp von Stadion (1652–1741) . In 1785, the Electoral Mainz district was also acquired by Württemberg, but remained communally independent.

19th century until today

The two communities, which remained independent until 1843 and were separated from each other by a stream, were called Alt-Cleebronn (the old Württemberg part) and Neu-Cleebronn (the new Württemberg, formerly Kurmainzische part) since 1811. It was not until January 1, 1844, that Alt-Cleebronn and New-Cleebronn were reunited to form the new Cleebronn municipality.

During the Second World War , Cleebronn was heavily shelled by French allies on April 7, 1945, throwing around 300 grenades and withdrawing the German troops that night. The next morning the village was taken by the French. Eight buildings were completely destroyed and six residents were killed in this fight.

Religions

Alt-Cleebronn with the Raphaelskirche was originally a branch parish of Botenheim and was raised to an independent parish in 1480, which was reformed in the course of the Reformation in Württemberg in 1534. There was a separate Liebfrauenkapelle for the residents of Mainzisch Cleebronn, but the Wuerttemberg priest was responsible for both districts from 1558. In 1736 Mainzisch Cleebronn was parished to Württembergisch Cleebronn. Since the Reformation, the place has been predominantly evangelical. There is a Protestant parish in Cleebronn. The Catholic Christians belong to the Catholic parish in Güglingen.

badges and flags

Cleebronn's coat of arms

The blazon of the Cleebronner coat of arms reads: In silver under a six-spoke red wheel a three-leaf green clover leaf. The flag of the municipality is green and white.

The wheel is the Mainz wheel of Kurmainz in inverted colors and reminds of the centuries that the Neu-Cleebronn district belonged to Mainz. The cloverleaf is Cleebronn's stain symbol, which originated from a folk etymological interpretation of the place name and has been handed down on walls, on a landmark and in the Kieserer forestry register of 1684 since the beginning of the 17th century. The first seal of the Württemberg Alt-Cleebronn has been preserved in impressions from 1651 and 1653 and shows as a full-talking coat of arms a draw well covered by three clovers at the bottom, and above it a legal stag as a reference to the Württemberg local rule. A later seal, verifiable from 1715 to 1759, only shows a clover leaf. The seal of the Mainzischen Neu-Cleebronn from 1695 shows in the coat of arms the Mainz wheel over a clover leaf, over the shield miter and crook . In the 19th century the coat of arms with the Mainz wheel and cloverleaf became the coat of arms of the municipality, which was united from Alt- and Neu-Cleebronn in 1843; the colors of the coat of arms (red wheel on silver), which are reversed in comparison to the Mainz wheel, were determined in 1919 by the Württemberg archives. On April 25, 1956, the Cleebronner municipal council adopted the flag colors green and white.
