Ennetach is a suburb of the city of Mengen with 1652 inhabitants (as of December 20, 2010) in the district of Sigmaringen ( Baden-Württemberg ).
geography
Ennetach is located in the Danube Valley ( Upper Danube Nature Park ) north of the Ablach . In the north-west is the city of Scheer , in the south the city of Mengen and in the east the community of Herbertingen . The district area covers around 832 hectares (status: 23 December 2010).
history
Due to the particularly favorable location in the Danube Valley, which extends from Scheer, settlement took place at an early stage. According to the finds, this began as early as the Stone Age and continued through the Bronze Age (early Hallstatt period 1200-800 BC) to the early Iron Age (Hallstatt period 800-400 BC).
It is likely that the Celtic Bragodurum (= high tower) was located here. A large number of travel routes and military roads from all directions led to this point and met here. In the Danube valley in the Gewann Gereut a square hill from the Celtic times was excavated.
So it is hardly surprising that the Romans , when they fortified the Danube as the border of the Raetia province to the north in the years 41-54 AD, built a fort on the Ennetacher Berg ( Ennetach Fort ) and built a camp below this Roman settlement ( vicus ) developed. The originally pure fortification of Ennetach became a Roman street village over time. This should last for about 200 years until the end of Roman rule around the middle of the 3rd century AD.
In the time of the early Middle Ages (400–800 AD) the so-called Alemannic conquest began. During this time, a hundred Alamanni settled on both sides of the Ablach under their leader "Mago" and founded a settlement. So initially a joint settlement of Magoingen was created, later Maingen, Meiengen, and finally Mengen.
When the Franks occupied the area from 536 , Christianization began . Around 600 Magoingen accepted the Catholic faith and around 700 the proselytizing was completed. Churches were founded on the left and right of the Ablach. In 808 a church in Ennetach (i.e. on the left side of the Ablach) is documented as the center of the Ratoldesbuchgau.
In 819 the Frankish king Ludwig the Pious married Judith , daughter of Welf I , in his second marriage ; On this occasion, Ludwig the Pious gave the "Villa Maginga" (mostly the left-hand place = Ennetach) to the Buchau monastery in the same year . He took the "Villa Maginga" under his personal protection and granted her royal immunity rights . The name "Ennetach" comes from "Mengen ennet Ach", i. H. beyond the Ach (Ablach), here.
Around 1260 Ennetach must have come to the County of Scheer. The Ennetach monastery was founded around 1280 . In 1287 Ennetach became part of the Habsburg family when the Scheer County possessions had to be sold to Habsburg.
In 1343 Ennetach was by Count Ulrich III. was largely destroyed by Württemberg , who fought against the Counts of Grüningen-Landau , who were related to him , and the parish church founded by Buchau Abbey in the 9th century was burned down. Only the church tower (circumference 8 × 8 meters, height 45 meters), built around 1100 on the remains of a wall of a Roman-Celtic high tower, remained largely intact.
In 1375, Duke Leopold of Austria entered Ennetach into Mengen.
In 1384 Duke Leopold pledged quantities with Ennetach to the Truchsesse von Waldburg .
In 1450 Ennetach received its own laws and statutes.
In 1464 the Ennetach district was separated from Mengen. In 1554 the final separation of quantities took place under the name Ennetach (previously "Mengendorf").
In 1680 quantities were released from the pledge of the Truchsesse von Waldburg. Ennetach stayed there until 1786, when it fell under the rule of Thurn und Taxis .
In 1806 Ennetach became part of Württemberg .
On July 1, 1972, it was incorporated into the city of Mengen.

Buildings
- The Catholic parish of St. Cornelius and Cyprian has had the two saints Cornelius and Cyprian as parish church patrons since 819 . Due to the donation of the “Villa Maginga” with church in 819 to the Buchau monastery , particles of the relics of the two saints came from the Buchau monastery to Ennetach that year . According to the Zender directory, they are used again as cartridges in 1275 and 1344. As the patronage church of the Buchau monastery, the Buchau abbess also had the right to present in Ennetach. The current church building dates from 1491, it was built according to the plans of the Stuttgart builder Alberlin Jörg . The tower dates from the year 1100. The works of the Ulm master Jörg Syrlin the Younger (crucifixion group, 1496; Dreisitz (so-called Levite chair ), 1506; choir stalls, 1509) are remarkable in the village church . The Gothic lace carvings come from Weckmann the Elder . The oldest witness in the church is a baptismal font from 1299 . The famous Ennetach altar panels by Jörg Stocker from 1496 are now in the princely art collection in Sigmaringen Castle .
- The Antoniuskapelle is a sacred building from the 16th century and was first mentioned in 1541.
- The Maruschel shrine with a valuable Pietà is located on the Hipfelsberg on a meadow with the field name “Maruschel”. Bildstöckle and Pietà are both likely from the 17th or early 18th century and belonged to the Ennetach Dominican convent. Today they are looked after by the Stützle family. In the 1970s, the family had the Pietà extensively restored: the frame was weathered, the base dilapidated. In 2015 the Bildstöckle was fundamentally renovated with funds from the Heimat- und Geschichtsverein: the roof was rebuilt and covered with historic green glazed tiles. A new marble cross crowns the roof and replaces the old concrete cross. A new sandstone cornice runs around the base. The wayside shrine has been newly plastered and freshly painted. The Bildstöckle is a stately building and, adorned with flowers, forms a station in the traditional Ösch procession on Ascension Day.
