Location of the town of Dietenheim in the Alb-Donau district

Dietenheim, view from the west

Dietenheim is a town on the south-eastern edge of the Alb-Donau district in Baden-Württemberg .

geography

Dietenheim is halfway between Ulm and Memmingen an der Iller .

Expansion of the municipal area

Since the state border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria does not follow the current course of the Iller, but lies somewhat to the west of it, at the point where the river was at the beginning of the 19th century, Dietenheim and Regglisweiler will soon have this as they grow eastward Limit reached. This leads to the peculiarity that the sports facilities in Regglisweiler, a short stretch of Landesstraße 260 in Regglisweiler, the sports facilities in Dietenheim and some houses on the eastern outskirts of Dietenheim (on Grenzweg street ) are already in Bavaria.

Neighboring communities

The city borders in the south on Balzheim , in the west on Wain and Schwendi , both in the district of Biberach , in the north on Illerrieden and in the east on the Bavarian town of Illertissen , whereby behind the state border there is initially a strip that belongs to the community-free area "Auwald" before the actual area of ​​the city of Illertissen begins.

City structure

In addition to the eponymous Dietenheim, the district of Regglisweiler , which comprises around a third of the total population, belongs to the city . The former Schlossgut Brandenburg (see also Brandenburg rulership ), today a church institution, is also on the city mark. Here, in 1816, the Württemberg separatists, led by a group from Rottenacker, attempted to found a radical pietist settlement. When the King of Württemberg refused permission, the separatists emigrated to Ohio and founded the Zoar settlement there. The group was formed in 1800 at the suggestion of the maid Barbara Grubenmann from Teufen in the Swiss canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden , who was staying in Rottenacker.

history

prehistory

The first traces of human settlement in the Dietenheim area can be found from the Neolithic , an archaeological epoch that, in contrast to the previous Mesolithic, is associated with sedentarism and agriculture . On the former road to Weihungszell , a pierced serpentine hammer knob ax was found near the so-called “Stumpengraben” in 1908 (length 12.9 cm). Also belonging to the Neolithic is an ax made from green stone (  recovered from burial mound 1 in 1934) from the necropolis ( actually from the Hallstatt period ) located southwest of the Gerthof (see below ).

The extent to which the region around Dietenheim was used during the Bronze Age is unknown. The Iron Age is represented by two burial mounds near the Kreuthöfe (about one kilometer from Regglisweiler ) and the former burial mound field at Gerthof mentioned above. The ground monuments , which have meanwhile been completely leveled, still counted 19 burial mounds in "2 groups - from 8 to 23 m in diameter and up to 1 m in height" in 1897. Already in 1900 all the hills seemed to have been ransacked. Subsequent excavations yielded a rather small number of finds, but these dated the necropolis to the Hallstatt period. The form of burial was consistently cremation . Comparable Iron Age burial sites are in the Illertal, for example near Kirchberg an der Iller or especially in the area around Tannheim (Württemberg) .

Antiquity

From Roman times , a coin from the time of Marc Aurel (between 161 and 180 Roman emperors ) has been found northwest of Dietenheim. An associated settlement is not known, but north of Unterbalzheim a former Roman estate with remains of a hypocaust complex is known.With the establishment of the Danube-Iller-Rhein-Limes , probably in the 3rd century AD, the area around today's Dietenheim probably fell again outside the imperial borders of Rome. There is historical evidence in this context of Roman border guards on the Iller and Danube , such as B. the cohors III Herculea Pannoniorum in Caelius Mons ( Kellmünz ) or the cohors V Valeria Frigum in Pinianis , an unknown fort near the mouth of the Iller .

middle Ages

A rampart from Regglisweiler ("Teufelsgraben") and two ramparts on the Altenberg near Dietenheim probably date from the Middle Ages . Unfortunately, damage has only recently been caused by robbery excavations .

Regglisweiler around 1920

Former coat of arms of Regglisweiler

In 973 Dietenheim was mentioned for the first time as Töttinheim in a document from the Reichenau monastery. As early as 1280, Dietenheim received town charter from Count Hartmann and Otto von Brandenburg, after it had become an imperial property in an agreement with King Rudolf von Habsburg , with simultaneous lending to the counts - hence its coat of arms with a Habsburg shield and imperial eagle . The city passed from Count Hartmann and Brandenburg to Burchart von Ellerbach in 1313.

Rule of the Fuggers

In 1446 the Ulm patrician Heinrich Krafft ( Ludwig's brother ) bought the rule, which fell to Hans von Rechberg in 1481 and to Count Anton Fugger in 1539 . The city remained under their rule until mediatization in 1806.

In the Thirty Years' War Teodone to have been burned down. French troops occupied the city in 1796 and 1800.

Württemberg time

In 1806 the city fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria , but in 1810 it was added to the Kingdom of Württemberg , which downgraded the former city to a third class municipality and added the Landvogtei on the Danube in the Oberamt Wiblingen . In 1818 the Oberamt Wiblingen and thus also Dietenheim came to the newly created Danube District . The Oberamt Wiblingen was renamed Oberamt Laupheim in 1845 . In the 1830s, Johann Gottlieb Freiherr von Süßkind from Augsburg bought the Dietenheim estate, from which it was inherited by the Barons von Herman auf Wain .

In 1938, Dietenheim came to the Ulm district as part of a regional reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era .

post war period

In 1945 Dietenheim came as part of the district of Ulm into the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

In 1953 the place was given city rights again. The formerly independent Regglisweiler voted in a vote for a merger with Dietenheim. The incorporation took place on January 1, 1972. During the district reform carried out in 1973 , Dietenheim was incorporated into the Alb-Danube district .
