history
Ettlingen, an important road crossing point in Roman times (Roman section in the museum, Roman baths under Martinskirche, Neptunstein, ...), was first mentioned in 788 as Ediningom in a deed of donation from the Weißenburg monastery in Alsace. During the time of the tribal duchies Ettlingen belonged to the Duchy of Franconia . The Weißenburg monastery received market rights for Ettlingen from Emperor Otto the Great in 973 at the latest ; the exact year cannot be deduced from the sources.
When in 1219 the Baden margrave Hermann V was enfeoffed with Ettlingen by King Friedrich II , the place was named civitas Ettenigen and was accordingly already a city. This emerges from a document issued by Emperor Friedrich II in Apricena for the margrave in 1234 . Possibly Emperor Heinrich VI. Ettlingen raised to the rank of town when he stayed in the Hagenauer Pfalz from December 25, 1191 to March 11, 1192 ; there is no proof of this. In memory of the city's founding by the Staufer was in 2017 at the Kurt Müller-Graf Square east of the castle, a Staufer Tele built.
Margrave Rudolf I of Baden, the son of Hermann V, stood on the side of the Staufer opponents from 1246 and supported Heinrich Raspe and the rival kings who followed him. In the middle of the 13th century he built a castle complex in Ettlingen - possibly on the remains of a previous Hohenstaufen building; a previous building has not yet been proven.
From 1500 the city was part of the Swabian Empire . In 1535 Ettlingen became an official town within the margraviate of Baden-Baden that was created by division . It took about 740 years until Ettlingen was called as it is called today:
| from 788 | from 1143 | 1234 | in the 13th century | from 1288 | from 1358 | from 1370 | from 1532 until today |
| Ediningom | Etiningem | Ettenigen | Etiningen | Ettliningen | Ettelingen | Etlingen | Ettlingen |
In the 16th century the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau. In 1689 the city was almost completely burned down by troops of the French King Louis XIV during the Palatinate War of Succession , but was then rebuilt. On the site of the destroyed Renaissance castle, Margravine Augusta Sibylla had today's baroque castle built as her widow's residence from 1727 . The old keep was integrated into the new building, but shortened by two storeys and can still be seen in the inner courtyard today.
After the Catholic line of Baden-Baden died out in 1771, Ettlingen came to the evangelical margraviate of Baden-Durlach , the owner of which rose to become elector in 1803 and grand duke in 1806 . Ettlingen remained the seat of an office.
During the First World War there was a reserve hospital for typhus patients in Ettlingen. The chief physician assigned there as ordinating physician of the XIV Army Corps was from January 3 to September 5, 1915, when this epidemic hospital was converted into a surgical-orthopedic hospital, the Heidelberg district doctor and social hygienist Ernst Georg Kurz (1859-1937).
On April 1, 1937, the Ettlingen district was abolished and its area was assigned to the Karlsruhe district, from which the city and district of Karlsruhe was formed in 1939. Since then, Ettlingen has been part of the Karlsruhe district with all of its surrounding area .
After the 20,000-inhabitant mark had been exceeded, the city of Ettlingen applied for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg decided with effect from January 1, 1966.
As a result of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg in the early 1970s, the entire city of Ettlingen exceeded the 30,000 population limit. In 1975 urban redevelopment began.
In 1979 the first performances of the Ettlinger Schlossfestspiele took place in the baroque inner courtyard of the palace , and in 1988 Ettlingen hosted the Baden-Württemberg state horticultural show . In 1994, the Baden-Württemberg Home Days took place in Ettlingen .
In 1995 the American soldiers withdrew from the Rhineland barracks. In 1999, hurricane Lothar struck the city, seriously destroying numerous buildings and large areas of forest. In 2003, Gabriela Büssemaker was the first woman to be elected to the office of mayor. In the 2004 local elections, the CDU failed to achieve an absolute majority for the first time since the 1974 regional reform.
In 2007, after long discussions, the municipal council abolished the false choice of suburbs . Then Ettlingen found on 27 April 2008 for the first in the history of the city, a referendum instead. This referendum was about the reintroduction of the bogus sub-district election. Due to the low turnout (32.9%) and the missed quorum of 25% yes votes of all eligible voters (this would have been 7,513 votes, but actually only 6,374 voted yes) the decision about the reintroduction had to be given back to the municipal council. This decided again in May 2008 against the false choice of suburbs, so it remains abolished.
Religions
Ettlingen originally belonged to the diocese of Speyer and the archdeaconate of St. German and Moritz in Speyer. The parish was initially assigned to the Durlach deanery , but Ettlingen became the seat of the rural chapter in the 16th century. The Reformation gained a foothold in Ettlingen from around 1520 . Due to the fact that the city was part of the Catholic line of Baden-Baden and in particular because of the Jesuits who were active in Ettlingen from 1624 , the city was re-Catholicized, so that Protestants did not settle in Ettlingen again until the 19th century. After secularization , the Catholic parish of Ettlingen belonged to the General Vicariate Bruchsal and in 1821 and 1827, Ettlingen came to the newly founded Archdiocese of Freiburg . Here the city became the seat of a deanery. Today this includes the parishes of the city of Ettlingen and the entire surrounding area. The parishes are grouped into pastoral care units. In the area of the city of Ettlingen there is the pastoral care unit Ettlingen-Stadt with the parishes Herz-Jesu, Liebfrauen and St. Martin (the oldest church in the city), the pastoral care unit Ettlingen Süd with the parishes St. Dionysis Ettlingenweier and St. Josef Bruchhausen and the Pastoral care unit Ettlingen Höhe with the parishes of St. Bonifatius Schöllbronn, St. Antonius Spessart and Maria Königin Schluttenbach.
There is evidence that Jewish families have lived in Ettlingen since the 17th century. They were mainly based in Färbergasse, which was formerly called Judengasse. In 1849 the first Ettlingen synagogue was built in Albstraße and demolished again in 1888 so that a larger new building could be built in Pforzheimer Straße. The new synagogue was inaugurated in 1889. During the November pogrom in 1938 , the new synagogue was also destroyed and most of the Jewish citizens still living in Ettlingen were deported.
The Protestants who moved there since the 19th century were initially taken care of from Rüppurr , but in 1848 they received their own clergyman and from 1869 their own parish (Johannesgemeinde), which later received its own church. It is the oldest Protestant church in Ettlingen. The Johannesgemeinde initially belonged to the city dean of Karlsruhe. Later she came to the Deanery Alb-Pfinz, based in Pfinztal . The number of the Johannes church continued to grow, so that it was divided in 1951. The Paulus Congregation arose, which from 1953 built a community building, to which a bell tower was added in 1965. As a result of a further increase in the parish membership, the Paul parish was again divided in 1972, and the Luther parish came into being. Today the Protestants of Ettlingen-West and the districts of Bruchhausen, Ettlingenweier and Oberweier belong to it. Between 1969 and 2003, the Evangelical Church in Baden maintained a church district in Central Baden with its seat in Ettlingen. This was dissolved in the course of austerity measures and divided between the two other church districts North Baden and South Baden . Ettlingen now belongs to the parish of Karlsruhe-Land in the parish of North Baden.
In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches and congregations, including a free evangelical congregation and the Liebenzeller congregation . The Jehovah's Witnesses , the New Apostolic Church and a small Jewish and Muslim community in Ettlingen are also represented.
Incorporations
The following municipalities were incorporated into the city of Ettlingen as part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg or merged with the city of Ettlingen:
- on March 1, 1972: Spessart (located in the mountains of the Black Forest) by incorporation agreement
- on October 1, 1974: Ettlingenweier (located in the Rhine valley and on the slope of the Black Forest) by incorporation agreement
- on October 1, 1974: Bruchhausen and Oberweier (located on the slope of the Black Forest) and Schluttenbach and Schöllbronn (located in the mountains of the Black Forest) through voluntary merger
In addition to these six localities, Ettlingen was also interested in incorporating the municipality of Busenbach. However, this decided against Ettlingen and merged with Reichenbach and Etzenrot to form the community of Waldbronn .

Own name
Ignatius of Loyola was the founder of the Jesuit order. There was also a Jesuit monastery in Ettlingen since the 17th century. It was therefore common for many boys to be baptized in the name Ignaz. The abbreviation was "Naze". At that time Ettlingen did not have an underground sewer. The sewage all flowed into trough-shaped trenches, which the population called "jackdaws" (today a gully in Ettlingen is generally called jackdaws ). These trenches were covered with iron or stone slabs. Young and old walked around with joy on these plates. Above all, the Ettlinger boys trampled on the slabs with their wooden shoes, as this made a tremendous amount of noise. So it happened in the course of time that the people of Ettlingen soon referred to themselves as "Dohlenaze". This nickname has remained to this day.
politics
Since Ettlingen is a large district town , the technical supervision is not incumbent on the district of Karlsruhe , but the administrative district of Karlsruhe . The district only retains legal supervision.
