history

The history of some communities goes back to the Reformation.

Imperial city of Ulm

Since 1524, the imperial city of Ulm pursued a Protestant policy within the college of imperial cities. In that year the evangelical preacher Konrad Sam was ordered to the city. In the city of Leipheim , which belongs to Ulm , the pastor Jakob Wehe began to preach Protestant in 1523. On April 4, 1525, a battle in the Peasants' War took place at the gates of Leipheim , which ended in the defeat of the peasants. The leaders of the peasants and pastors Whe were executed. In 1529 Ulm took part in the Speyer protest . At this point in time, the people of Ulm were still regarded as Zwingli's supporters . In November 1530, after a referendum, the council decided to introduce the Reformation . On April 14, 1531, a new church order came into force. With Zwingli's death in 1531, the influence of the Swiss form of the Reformation in Upper Germany waned , and the Lutherans were increasingly turned to. The Protestant church system was severely restricted by the Augsburg interim and many pastors had to give up their posts. The Protestant church system was re-established in the Lutheran form with reference to the Passau Treaty in 1554 and was then legitimized under imperial law in the Augsburg Religious Peace of 1555. In 1802 Ulm became Bavarian . According to the Treaty of Compiègne , the city of Ulm on the left of the Danube and most of the country area were ceded to Württemberg in 1810 . The villages of Holzschwang , Leipheim , Pfuhl , Reutti , Riedheim and Steinheim des Ulmer Winkel and the Ulm urban area to the right of the Danube, from which Neu-Ulm emerged, remained in Bavaria .

Pfalz-Neuburg

The Duchy of Pfalz-Neuburg turned to Lutheranism in 1542 under Count Palatine Ottheinrich . In some parishes in the deanery district, sovereignty was in the Palatinate-Neuburg area during the Reformation. The church patrons were knightly. The Imperial Knight Eitelhans von Westernach turned to the Protestant faith from 1569 in his rule in Bächingen an der Brenz. The final break with the Bishop of Augsburg occurred in 1576 with the official introduction of the Reformation. The Burtenbach community is the oldest Protestant community in the Mindeltal . Sebastian Schertlin , a Landsknechtführer of Emperor Karl V , acquired Burtenbach in 1532. On Judika Sunday 1546 he introduced the Reformation. 1560–1562 the Johanneskirche was built. After the Thirty Years' War Burtenbach became a refuge for religious refugees from Carinthia and Styria . In 1688 the church tower was destroyed by lightning and then rebuilt as an onion dome . Zacharias Geizkofler von Gailenbach and Haunsheim introduced the Reformation in Haunsheim in 1603. From 1606-1609 he had the Trinity Church built according to plans by Joseph Heintz the Elder and Elias Holl .

Diaspora

Burgau is a diaspora community. The Christ Church was built in 1958. The first Protestant service took place in Dillingen on Easter 1850. In 1891/92 the Katharinenkirche was built in the neo-Gothic style of a garrison church. Elchingen with Unter- and Oberelchingen as well as Thalfingen were in spiritual possession up to the secularization. Oberelchingen and Thalfingen were subordinate to the Imperial Abbey of Elchingen , Unterelchingen to the Imperial Abbey of Salem . The imperial city of Ulm never succeeded in acquiring these properties. In Gundelfingen, the number of Protestants grew by leaps and bounds due to the influx of people who had been expelled from their homeland . 1950 Gundelfingen became a parish. In 1971 the Friedenskirche was inaugurated. The government of the Margraviate of Burgau , which was owned by the Habsburgs , once sat in Günzburg . The first Protestant Christians settled here at the beginning of the 19th century. They were cared for from the neighboring former Ulm city of Leipheim. The Church of the Resurrection was consecrated in 1903. The small town of Höchstädt was Protestant in the 16th century. After the Counter Reformation, Protestant parish life did not develop again until the 1950s. In 1986 the community center with the St. Anna Church was inaugurated. In Ichenhausen , the St. Peter and Paul Church was built in 1926 from the conversion of a Jewish house.
