history

Fachsenfeld was first mentioned in a document in 1230. It belonged to the Lords of Fachsenfeld, who were probably a branch of the Lords of Waiblingen. These were located at Waiblingen Castle , halfway up the mountain in what is now the Waiblingen district, and were in the service of the Staufers . After the end of the Staufer, Fachsenfeld and Waiblingen belonged to the Oettingern , from 1401 to the Lords of Woellwarth . Under her highness the Protestant church was built in 1591, one of the oldest Protestant churches in Württemberg.

In 1806 the place came to the Kingdom of Württemberg and was assigned to the Oberamt Aalen .

In 1894 the foundation stone for the Catholic Herz-Jesu-Kirche was laid, which was consecrated on September 28, 1895.

On January 1, 1973 Fachsenfeld was incorporated into Aalen .

The hamlets of Himmlingsweiler and Waiblingen belong to Fachsenfeld. Himmlingsweiler was created in the 18th century and was initially called Pfannenstiel. Waiblingen, located in the Kocher Valley, is located near the remains of the ring-shaped castle stables of the former Waiblingen Castle.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Fachsenfeld Castle

Fachsenfeld Castle

As early as 1540 Georg Sigmund von Woellwarth had a larger building built, which his son Hans Sigmund von Woellwarth expanded into a castle in 1570 . The castle with its farm buildings was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War . After the subsequent reconstruction, it burned down in 1699. After it had stood empty for 128 years, it was acquired by the Chief Justice Councilor Wilhelm von König-Warthausen in 1827 and had it rebuilt and expanded over three decades. He expanded the castle to include a garden room, a viewing terrace, a hunting room and a dining room. The result is today's palace park, which covers almost eight hectares and is one of the most beautiful landscape parks in Germany. Between 1905 and 1907 the art nouveau and gallery rooms were expanded again. In 1982, Baron Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld founded the Fachsenfeld Castle Foundation, which made the castle accessible to the public.

Protestant church

Hans Sigmund von Woellwarth , who introduced the Reformation on his territory in 1569, had the Protestant church built in 1591 as the first of three almost identical churches (sister churches Polsingen in Bavaria in 1596 and Leinroden in 1604). It is the twelfth post-Reformation church within the Evangelical Church of Württemberg (after Schlosskirche Stuttgart 1562, Oberderdingen 1574, Zavelstein 1578, Crailsheim 1579, Zazenhausen 1582, Wildenstein 1583, Gaisburg and Schlat 1584, Obersontheim 1586, Calmbach 1588 and Ohrnberg 1590) with special Protestant furnishings . Wherever holy water basins are placed in the entrance area in Catholic churches, there are stone tablet inscriptions on the inside left and right of the door jamb with the confession of the evangelical Lord's Supper in "both forms" ( The body of our Lord Jesus Christ feed and preserve you for eternal life, Amen and The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ drink and keep yourselves for eternal life (amen ). In addition, the larger than life sandstone crucifix on the altar, created from a block by an Aalen sculptor, is a deliberately Protestant reference to the salvation significance of the death of Jesus. The donor plaque on the right on the south wall, the grave slab above the crypt in the center aisle in front of the choir and the large Renaissance epitaph on the left of the north wall point to the builder and founder of this church. The latter was originally located in the choir with other family epitaphs, but was then replaced and relocated during an interior renovation in the 20th century in order to provide better access to the sacristy extension from 1909 in the front wall of the choir. The two stained glass coat of arms windows left and right in the choir, a foundation of the patronage families Freiherr Franz von Koenig-Fachsenfeld and Freiherr Maximilian von Woellwart-Lauterburg, were designed and manufactured in 1908 in the Munich glass painting workshop Franz Xaver Zettler . The panel painting Holy Night was painted in 1909 by the Schwäbisch Gmünder impressionist Hermann Pleuer and donated by Baron Franz von Koenig-Fachsenfeld.
