history

Dornstadt around 1900

Until the 19th century

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1225. The common year number 1209 is not confirmed by the Baden-Württemberg State Archives. Until 1465 Dornstadt belonged to the property of the Lorch Monastery and then passed into the possession of the Elchingen Monastery and was subordinate to the Tomerdingen Care Office. On the church side, Dornstadt belonged to the Tormerdinger parish Mariä-Himmelfahrt until 1674 and was then raised to an independent parish. As part of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803, the Elchingen monastery lost its land. Dornstadt became temporarily Bavarian until it finally fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg through the border treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg in 1810 and was subordinated to the Blaubeuren Oberamt .

20th and 21st centuries

During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Dornstadt became part of the Ulm district in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of 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 1973 the district reform took place in Baden-Württemberg , when Dornstadt became part of the Alb-Donau district.

The community in its current composition was established in the mid-1970s. After the municipality of Bollingen with its district Böttingen had already been incorporated on July 1, 1971, the municipalities of Dornstadt and Tomerdingen merged on January 1, 1975 to form the new municipality of Dornstadt, and the communities of Scharenstetten and Temmenhausen were incorporated into the new municipality.

Today Dornstadt itself is the largest suburb of the entire municipality with around 4400 inhabitants.

Bollingen

Bollingen is located on the edge of the Kiesental and can look back on documented mentions from the 12th century. It currently has around 1100 inhabitants.

There are close ties to the neighboring hamlet of Böttingen .

Scharenstetten

Scharenstetten has approx. 800 inhabitants and is located on a hill of the Middle Kuppenalb and is visible from a distance mainly through the 28 m high water tower and the 23 m high church tower. The name of the village probably comes from the founder of the village, a Scaro . It was first mentioned in a document in 1260. The Laurentius Church is particularly worth seeing. The nave in its current form is probably only 200 years old, but the church tower with the coupled, double-arched sound windows dates from the 11th century.

The 14th century frescoes in the choir area were laid down during renovation work in 1958. The pictures of the apostles by the Tomerdingen baroque painter Josef Wannenmacher came to the church in 1767. The altar of the church, which comes from the school of Hans Multscher and was built around 1450, is of particular importance . During the iconoclasm, it was moved from the Ulm Minster , where it originally stood, to an Ulm magazine. In 1760 it was installed in the Laurentius Church because the existing Scharenstetter altar was not in good condition and the Scharenstetter bailiff at the time had asked the Ulm parish church building office for an old altar.

Temmenhausen

Temmenhausen is located directly on the rise from the Mittlere Flachalb to the Mittlere Kuppenalb , the so-called Klifflinie , and thus on the beach of a former sea that dried up a few million years ago.

Temmenhausen is home to a good 600 people.

There are two youth clubs for young people, the Temmenhausen container and the Temmenhausen whey .

Tomerdingen

The largest suburb in terms of area, Tomerdingen, with around 1,800 inhabitants, was already settled during the La Tène period . Settlements have been found in the Church of St. Martin since the Carolingian era .
