Engelberg hunting lodge

Engelberg is part of the municipality of Winterbach in the Rems-Murr district ( Baden-Württemberg ) with 243 inhabitants (as of the end of 2015). The place is on a hill of the Schurwald above the Remstal . A monastery existed here for a short time in the late Middle Ages.

history

In 1466, Count Ulrich V von Württemberg donated an Augustinian cloister to a popular pilgrimage chapel , which was confirmed by the Constance Vicar General in the same year. However, the material resources of the foundation were poor, especially as the pilgrimage ended unexpectedly. In 1525 the monastery was destroyed by insurgent farmers, after which it was not rebuilt and closed in 1538. The last prior Johann Brentz handed Engelberg and its debts over to Württemberg . Part of the building was demolished, with material used in the fortress construction in Schorndorf . In 1602, a hunting lodge was built on an older cellar, in which the chief forest master von Schorndorf held office until 1817.

present

The place is now mainly from the outdoor Waldorf School Engelberg embossed, which was founded in the fall of 1945 and their teaching operation initially recorded in the hunting lodge. The first building specially built for the school was built in 1951. In addition to the school buildings for the almost 1000 students today, there are also residential buildings for the teachers in the "quarry", which are slightly separated from the site.

For the municipal council election , the Engelberg district forms a residential area in the sense of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code for the false suburb election .
