history

Erzingen is first mentioned in a document in pago Chleggouve in villa Arcingen in the year 876 in a cartular of the Rheinau monastery . In Erzingen there was a village noble family, the Lords of Erzingen . In documents from 1353 they are mentioned as noblemen or junkers , they were related to those of Bettmaringen and von Grießen . Around 1529 they are no longer mentioned.

Church rights were transferred from the diocese of Constance to the Rheinau monastery in 1436 . The family name Indlekofer , which is still widespread in Erzingen today, is mentioned for the first time . In 1468 Erzingen was captured by the Confederates in the Waldshut War. Erzingen belonged to the Landgraviate of Klettgau , was part of the Schwarzenberg rule and was sold to the Grand Duchy of Baden .

Establishment of the mountain chapel

At the end of the Second World War , Erzingen was reached on April 25, 1945 by the French troops advancing along the Rhine . At the town hall, "Councilor Albert Zölle, in the presence of Director Suter from the Swiss company Stehli & Co., handed them over the village and the weapons that had been delivered", which came from scattered members of the Wehrmacht. The village was regularly occupied from April 28, 1945.

According to an order of the Allied Military Government of Germany (Law No. 161), a “restricted border area” was created along the borders of the defeated German Reich, which had to be cleared by all persons (without special permission). By May 21, 1945 the “indigenous population” should be expelled. The governor of the French occupation zone in the border area with Switzerland extended this measure to the effect that towns directly on the border - as already practiced in the Jestetter Zipfel on May 15, 1945 - should be completely cleared. This threatened Erzingen and other places in the region with a total of 19,000 residents. The directors of the Stehli and Bucher companies and the Erzingen pastor Deisler, who contacted the Apostolic Nuncio Roncalli, later Pope Johannes XXIII , through the Swiss Federal Council and the Swiss Embassy in Paris . turned, succeeded in winning his intercession at the Allied headquarters in Paris. “Long weeks of uncertainty passed. In their heartbreak, the Erzinger vowed to build a chapel if they weren't driven out of their village. ”140 citizens signed the vow.

The renovated mountain chapel in 2002

Dated June 3, 1945 came the news from the General Staff of the First French Army in Constance, “that the population south of the Wutach would not be included in a possible evacuation plan.” In the background there was also a change of command in the office of the French military governor . The grapevine father Heinrich Winter was now the driving force behind the construction planned by master bricklayer Otto Indlekofer with many material donations from the Swiss neighborhood. On Pentecost, in early June 1947, the mountain chapel with the Way of the Cross leading to it was inaugurated in a worthy ceremony.

Later the mountain chapel also gave the Erzinger wine its name: Erzinger Kapellenberg
