middle Ages

At the time of its settlement in the 8th century, the land of today's Deizisau district belonged to the Lorsch Monastery on Bergstrasse. The village was first mentioned as Dizinsowe in 1268 in a document from the Sirnau monastery. At that time the Körschburg stood in the district of Deizisau , and its robber barons often attacked merchants on the trade route through the Neckar valley. They were driven out by the Württemberg people in 1292 and the castle was destroyed. The village of Deizisau itself belonged to the patrician family of mayors from the imperial city of Esslingen from 1296 and in 1411 came into the possession of the Esslingen Katharinen Hospital through purchase . In 1495 the old Deizisau church was demolished due to dilapidation and the new, today's Protestant church was built. The church tower, designed as a defensive tower, was taken over from the old church. In 1532 the Reformation was introduced in Deizisau by the Katharinenhospital .

Early modern age

In the second half of the 16th century, Deizisau became a post office on the first permanently operated post line in the Holy Roman Empire , which at that time led from Venice to Antwerp . The first postmaster known by name was Carlin von Taxis in 1585, who came from the Thurn und Taxis family of postal entrepreneurs . Some of his descendants still live in Deizisau, where Taxis is one of the most common family names.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the plague raged in Deizisau, which took 31 people away in 1608, then the mercenary armies of the Thirty Years' War . In 1618 the place still had 275 inhabitants, at the end of the war 140 people were still alive in Deizisau. The post office was also lost during this time. While Deizisau had belonged to the realm of the imperial city of Esslingen since the Middle Ages, it became part of Württemberg in 1803 due to the reorganization of Germany by Napoleon as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss .

Württemberg time

During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Deizisau came to the Oberamt Esslingen . In the 19th century Deizisau was spared the destruction of the war, but suffered from severe famine several times. Only a short time after the end of the Napoleonic Wars , a volcanic eruption in Indonesia caused a global climate catastrophe in 1816 , the so-called year without a summer . In Deizisau it rained for 75 days in a row, hail devastated the fields and some of the poor harvest could only be brought in after Christmas. The result was one of the bitterest famines in Deizisau's history. Further bad harvests followed in the years from 1852 to 1855. A total of 135 citizens left the place in these four years of famine to emigrate to the United States. The hunger linden tree planted in Rotfeld on the hill between Deizisau and Köngen in 1833 still reminds of the famines of the 19th century.

In 1845 a first schoolhouse (now a kindergarten) was built in Deizisau, and a new one was built in 1908 in Bismarckstrasse. The elementary and community school is located in the greatly expanded building complex.

In 1928 Sirnau , which until then belonged to the Deizisau district, was ceded to Eßlingen in return for an annual pension. During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Deizisau came to the Esslingen district in 1938 . The Second World War and with it the time of National Socialism ended for Deizisau on April 22, 1945 with the invasion of American troops.

post war period

Deizisau became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

In the post-war years, many expellees were taken in and integrated. The place developed from a village still strongly characterized by agriculture to a municipality with a lot of industry, which also managed to maintain its independence during the municipal reform of the 1970s, not least due to the pronounced municipal self-confidence of its citizens.

Religions

From the Reformation to the end of the Second World War, Deizisau was shaped by Protestants. Afterwards, the settlement of many expellees in community with Altbach also resulted in a Catholic parish, which inaugurated the Klemens Maria Hofbauer Church in Deizisau in 1960. There is also a Methodist church community that owns the Christ Chapel as a place of worship in Klingenstrasse. The Jehovah's Witnesses congregation gathers in the Kingdom Hall on Sirnauer Strasse.

coat of arms

town hall

Hunger linden

Blazon: In a split shield in front a triple red flag in gold, behind in red a golden duck's foot.

The left part of the coat of arms from the perspective of the beholder (the technical description of the heraldry speaks of the right part of the coat of arms) shows the flag of the Count Palatine of Tübingen . It comes from the St. Katharinen Hospital in Esslingen, which not only owned Deizisau for several centuries, but also the villages of Möhringen and Vaihingen a. d. Fildern . The origin and meaning of the duck foot in the right half of the coat of arms, however, are unknown. The colors of the coat of arms, red and gold, are the colors of the Esslingen patrician family mayors of Deizisau , who owned Deizisau for some time in the Middle Ages.

According to an inscription on its gallery, the late Gothic church was consecrated in 1495. The date is not documented, but a dendrochronological examination in 1982 showed that the wood used for the roof structure was felled between 1494 and 1495. The church tower comes from a previous building first mentioned in 1353. Inside the church is the wing of an altar panel from the last decade of the 15th century, which was attributed by the art historian Hans Rott to the Esslingen painter Matthias Ulin-Wolf the Younger († 1536) and to the chapel of the then demolished Katharinen Hospital in Esslingen until 1811 belonged to. The inside of the altar wing shows the Saints Agnes and Christophorus , on the outside the motif of the sending out of the apostles .
