history

Prehistory and Antiquity

The climatically favorable area was already populated in prehistoric and ancient times. To the south-west of the Calverbühl (called Karpfenbühl in the spring), fragments were found which indicate a settlement in the Hallstatt period . Around 85 AD the area came under the direct rule of the Roman Empire (province of Germania superior ). After the retreat of Roman rule in the third century, Germanic tribes ( Alemanni ) established themselves , but there are no early Halemannic finds from Dettingen, such as those further down on the Ermstal ( Großbettlingen ) and up the valley on the Round Mountain . Settlement can only be proven from the Merovingian period on the basis of five row grave fields in the south, north and west of the village. In post-Roman times, the Alb ascent probably only gained importance in the 6th century.

Middle Ages and early modern times

The oldest known mention of the place name can be found in the Bempflingen Treaty of 1089 (Tetingin) . The ancestors of the Counts of Achalm and Urach , from which the Fürstenberg family emerged , had their headquarters in Dettingen at the beginning of the 11th century. The collegiate church in Dettingen was the burial place of the Akhalmgraves at this time. After the Zwiefalten monastery was founded , her bones were moved there. In 1265 the manor and half of the bailiwick ( suzerainty ) came to the county of Württemberg together with the county of Urach . Württemberg bought the other half of the bailiwick in 1630 from the lords of Spät. From then until 1945 Dettingen was always part of Württemberg. There Dettingen belonged to the office of Urach and formed from the end of the 15th century to 1738 with Hülben and Glems the sub-office of Dettingen, whose council and court consisted of twelve Dettinger men each.

In the Middle Ages, the Schneckenhofen settlement (1360 Schneggenhofen ) existed outside the village , which later disappeared. Neuhausen, Glems, Güterstein, Hohenurach and Hülben also belonged to the parish of Dettingen. The parish church was very richly endowed, Pankratius and Hippolytus of Rome consecrated and from 1482 to 1516 a monastery of the brothers of the common life . The Reformation was introduced in 1534 .

During the Thirty Years' War, Dettingen belonged - with interruptions - to the "Achalm Pfandschaft" from 1637 to 1648, making it part of Upper Austria and governing from Innsbruck.

From the royal times to the present

During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806, Dettingen remained assigned to the Oberamt Urach , which had existed since 1758 .

In 1871 the population was 2,850 and in 1910 it was 3,870.

The location on the river and the Ermstalbahn , which opened in 1873, promoted early industrialization . The railway was initially a private railway, in 1904 it was taken over by the Württemberg State Railways . The paper factory to the Bruderhaus south of the village was founded in 1860. Further industrial settlements followed, which was accompanied by a steady expansion of the residential areas.

With the dissolution of the Oberamt Urach during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Dettingen became part of the Reutlingen district in 1938. In 1945 the place came to the French zone of occupation and thus to the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which in 1952 became part of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Outside the village on the slope of the valley, the Buchhalde settlement was founded in 1961.

In 1950 there were 4,770 inhabitants, in 1975 the number was 7,640 and in 1990 8,940 inhabitants. Between 1871 and 1975 the population increased by 168%. After that, the development slowed down. In 1991 the 9000 was exceeded. Since then, the number has basically stabilized at just over 9,000. According to the State Statistical Office, 9,333 people lived in the town as of June 30, 2010.

The Dettinger Markung stretches across the Ermstal and covers 1582 hectares. There is nothing to report about the incorporation and re-urbanization, and the community reform of the 1970s brought no changes. Dettingen does not belong to any agreed administrative community or any municipal administration association.

In 1990 the B 28 bypass road built in the southern slope of the valley was opened.

Religions

Catholic Church Maria zum guten Stein

A church has been known for Dettingen since the 11th century. As in all of Württemberg , the Reformation was introduced in Dettingen in 1534 , so that the community became Protestant-Lutheran . Today's Protestant parish of Dettingen an der Erms includes the parish of Dettingen an der Erms and the Kappishäuser district of the city of Neuffen ( Esslingen district ) in the Bad Urach-Münsingen church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .

For the number of Roman Catholic believers, which increased after the Second World War, a community has now also been founded. The New Apostolic Church is also represented in the town. The resident Evangelical Brotherhood Kecharismai e. V., also known as the Flower Brothers , runs a horticultural business, two gardens and a retirement home in Dettingen.

Buildings

Evang. Dettingen / Erms collegiate church from the southeast
  • The Evangelical Collegiate Church is mentioned for the first time in the Bempflingen Treaty of 1089/90. The current church building is the result of approximately one thousand years of construction work: the tower stump has been preserved from the Romanesque period (between 950 and 1100). In the Gothic it was increased. Back then, between 1483 and 1500, Peter von Koblenz also built the Gothic choir and two side chapels on behalf of Count Eberhard im Bart in connection with the founding of the Dettingen Monastery of the Brothers of Living Together . The north chapel still exists today, while the south chapel was demolished by Christian Friedrich von Leins in 1864–1866 with the demolition of the shorter and narrower, but dilapidated Romanesque nave (three-aisled pillar basilica with arched arcades) and the construction of a neo-Gothic nave . The collegiate church was extensively renovated in 1960 under architect Manfred Wizgall . The State Monuments Office's request to replace almost all of the neo-Gothic furnishings and colors was only partially granted, mainly due to a lack of money: choir restoration, replacement of the choir windows, new altar and baptismal font as well as painting work on the walls and stalls were carried out. "In the past [...] years the value of the organ, the remains of the glazing from the 19th century, which have since been restored, as well as the other components from the previous century have been recognized." The Gothic choir from 1494 with the remaining northern Pankratius chapel impresses with its spaciousness and the cross-rib vault with artistically designed keystones and the exposed, restored and carefully supplemented Gothic painting. Of the neo-Gothic wooden furnishings, in particular the gallery parapets and the pulpit on the choir arch were retained in 1960 . The pulpit basket shows carved half-reliefs by Johannes Brenz , Philipp Melanchthon , Martin Luther and Johannes Reuchlin . Parts of the neo-Gothic glass painting by Gotthilf Wilhelm (1832–1882), one of the earliest Württemberg glass painters of modern times, are still preserved on the portals and on the west side . His Dettinger choir window (the middle one with the crucifixion motif "after Dürer") had been removed in 1960. The glass artist Adolf Valentin Saile created the three new lead glazing in the choir window in 1960. They are thematically and color-coordinated with the altar triptych of late Gothic panel paintings from 1520–1530 (flagellation, crucifixion, Christ crowning thorns) and the vault painting. One of the early works by Thierry Boissel , head of the study and experimentation workshop for glass painting, light and mosaic at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich since 1991, is the window “The Burning Bush” (created according to ExLUT , created in 1986, built in 1989) in the then newly built sacristy. A bronze sculpture by Karl Hemmeter in the shape of a cross rises above the altar of the north chapel ; above the modern main altar, at the top of the choir arch, a crucifix from the 17th century commemorates the crucified Christ as the center of worship and sermons.
  • The Protestant Christ Church was built in 1967 because of the strong growth of the community in the Buchhalde residential area. The large-scale glass design of two side walls, realized in 1997, comes from the Waiblingen artist Albrecht Pfister.
