Eintürnen is a district of the city of Bad Wurzach in Upper Swabia in Baden-Württemberg with 725 inhabitants, around eight kilometers southwest of the main town, at an altitude of 680 m to 730 m.

history

Eintürnen is one of the oldest places in the area. It was an original parish (Leutekirch) that was consecrated to Saint Martin . The unusual place name indicates a pre-Germanic past. Around 1275 the place was still called Hondurnom , 1353 as Ondürnen . This contains the Celtic root word -dur , -durnon , -durom or -durnom , which means castle or fortress. The excavations of 1968 show that the first buildings under the church (post holes and a layer of fire above) go back to pre-Christian times.

The first sacred building with graves should also be set up very early. The Romanesque church from the 12th century was provided with an apse . Eintürnen is mentioned for the first time in 956 in a St. Gallen document. In 1275 the place appears in Liber decimationis as a well-endowed and rich parish. She had a very large parish community . In 1353 ( Liber taxationis ) the town pays the tithe to the Lords of Schellenberg (Kißlegg). The church has rich income: "344 bushels of oats and 12 pounds and 5 hellers (Constance currency)." The parish is given with 100 residences. A Gothic church was built towards the end of the 14th century . Around 1400, the Waldburg Truchess in Wolfegg acquired this place. The first post station in Württemberg was built here in 1532 by Thurn und Taxis (post line: Innsbruck-Füssen-Kimratshofen-Eintürnen-Markdorf-Freiburg-Strasbourg).

The Thirty Years' War and the plague that accompanied it brought much suffering to the place and depopulated the country. After the war, many Vorarlberg and Swiss farmers immigrated here. Pastor Jakob Thuelli from the Großer Walsertal (1655–1694) had the church, which burned out in 1645, rebuilt. In 1697 the high altar and the big bell were consecrated. In 1742 the church was enlarged by a north aisle and the choir was lengthened polygonally; the whole church decorated in baroque style. An equestrian procession has been held annually on St. George's Day since 1754, in which an average of 500 to 600 riders from the wider area took part (1778: 765 riders, 1781: 718 riders, 1797: 800 riders, 1798: 728 riders). But because "such cavalry only disrupt order during the petitions", this popular custom was banned in 1803 in the age of the Enlightenment and the state church. In 1968 the church was completely renewed in its overall appearance.

Eintürnen was an independent municipality that belonged to the Oberamt Waldsee until 1938 and then to the district of Wangen . According to the description of the Oberamt Waldsee from 1834, the villages of Dietrichsholz, Greut, Linden, Metzisweiler, Rohr and Weiprechts belonged to this community of 550 Catholic residents. On June 1, 1972, it was incorporated into the city of Bad Wurzach.
