Enzweihingen , called Wihingen in the Middle Ages , has been part of the large district town of Vaihingen an der Enz in the Baden-Württemberg district of Ludwigsburg since 1971 .

geography

location

Enzweihingen is located around three kilometers east of the core town of Vaihingen between Strohgäu and Heckengäu , at the confluence of Kreuzbach , Strudelbach and Enz at an altitude of 200 to 300 m. The hamlets of Leinfelder Hof and Pulverdingen belong to the village . The neighboring settlements are (clockwise from the northeast) Leinfelder Hof, Oberriexingen , Unterriexingen , Pulverdingen, Schönbühlhof ( Markgröningen ), Hochdorf , Riet , Aurich and Vaihingen an der Enz .

Transport and infrastructure

The busy federal highway 10 Stuttgart – Pforzheim cuts through Enzweihingen. In the East, from the Vaihinger crosses landmark tunnel coming Mannheim-Stuttgart high-speed railway , the Enz on the 1,044-meter Enztal bridge and disappears at the former Castle Dauseck back in the powder Dinger tunnel .

Railway connection cut

The Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (WEG) discontinued passenger traffic on the Vaihinger Stadtbahn, which opened in 1904, from Kleinglattbach via the Vaihinger Stadtbahnhof to Enzweihingen in 1991. There have also been no freight trains since 2004.

Through traffic

The routing of the B 10 through the town puts a lot of strain on the residents. Alternatives have been designed and planned since the 1970s. A tunnel solution preferred by the federal government, state and city under the current route of the B 10, as well as two variants of a bypass through the industrial area on the northern outskirts, favored by a citizens' initiative, are currently being discussed. Since parts of the Enzauen would also be affected, there are nature conservation-related hurdles.

education

Enzweihingen has a primary school.

history

Coat of arms of the local lords "von Wihingen" in Horrheim

Local nobility

In the Middle Ages Enzweihingen was under the ministerial family "von Wihingen". This local nobility, attested from 1152 to 1524, was in the service of the Counts of Vaihingen, who had to sell large parts of their county, including Vaihingen and Enzweihingen, to the Counts of Württemberg in 1339 to settle debts. Since then, the conveniently located village has belonged to the Württemberg office of Vaihingen . A grave of Georg von Wihingen, who died after 1420, in the Clemenskirche in Horrheim suggests that the von Wihingen family left Enzweihingen after this sale in order to settle on the remaining Vaihingen territory on the edge of the Stromberg , like their Vaihingen liege on the Eselsburg .

Prosperity and misery by the highway

Its location at the Enz crossing on the Ulm – Cannstatt – Speyer highway, which has been important since Roman times, made the village prosperous. In times of war, however, this favored location turned out to be a disadvantage, because armies often passed through the village and "foraged", that is, forced supplies, or plundered: the Thirty Years' War and with it plague and hunger almost wiped out the community. The “French invasions” that followed around 1690 in the course of the Palatinate and Spanish War of Succession again caused devastating setbacks. In 1693, French troops burned 60 buildings.

Post station and mail routes

As early as 1513, Enzweihingen had a post office at the riding post operated by the Taxis (later Thurn and Taxis ) on the Dutch postal route . This led from Brussels , past Worms and Speyer ( Rheinhausen ), via Ulm , Augsburg , Innsbruck and Trento to Italy . Hieronymus (Jeremias) von Taxis, a brother of the later Augsburg postmaster Seraphin I von Taxis, is documented as the first local postman around 1520 .

The Kiesersche forest map from 1682 shows a postal route running parallel to the Enzweihinger Steige in a south-east direction through the Pulverdinger wood (see illustration). In a westerly direction, a postal route branched off in Enzweihingen via Pforzheim to Strasbourg . Since 1805, the Stuttgart – Pforzheim – Karlsruhe route of the Württembergische Post ran via Enzweihingen.

Town hall and Martinskirche

Church and Denominations

Until the Reformation, Enzweihingen belonged to the Vaihingen regional chapter in the Archdiaconate Trinity of the Diocese of Speyer . In 1348 the Counts of Vaihingen sold their right of patronage to the Martinskirche, a late Gothic west tower with a reticulated choir, to the Teutonic Order. After winning the battle of Lauffen in 1534, Duke Ulrich von Württemberg came back to government and set himself the goal of enforcing the Protestant denomination nationwide against imperial resistance. Ultimately, however, this only succeeded his son Christoph, who in 1553 bought the patronage of the Martinskirche from the German Order.

The religious edict of 1806 did little to change the denominational monopoly. Only with the influx of displaced people from 1945 onwards did a Catholic community re-establish itself in the area. The St. Paulus parish belongs to the Vaihingen-Eberdingen pastoral care unit of the Ludwigsburg dean's office .

Incorporation

Enzweihingen was incorporated into Vaihingen on January 1, 1971.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Enzweihingen shows an upright golden fenugreek in the front in red in the split shield, and an upright black stag pole in the back in gold. The stag bar shows that Enzweihingen belongs to Württemberg. The oldest known coat of arms of Enzweihingen comes from the early 15th century and is largely the same as today's coat of arms. The coat of arms of the local nobility showed two crossed short swords pointing downwards (see picture).
