history

Friolzheim 1683/1685 in Kieser's forest inventory book

Until the 19th century

Settlement in the Friolzheim district is likely as early as Celtic times. Several Celtic graves in the forest area of ​​Hagenschieß on the western edge of the district testify to this. One of the few remaining sections of the Römerstrasse from (Stuttgart-) Bad Cannstatt via Pforzheim (Portus) in the direction of Strasbourg (Argentoratum) and Mainz (Mogontiacum) can be found from Roman times.

During the time of the tribal duchies , Friolzheim belonged to the Duchy of Franconia . The place was first mentioned in a document as Friolesheim around 1105 . In the 15th century it was owned by the Lords of Gemmingen and the Margraves of Baden . Diether von Gemmingen sold the village to Hirsau Monastery in 1461 . During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , founded in 1806 , Friolesheim moved in 1807 from the Hirsau monastery to the Württemberg Oberamt Calw and in the following year, following the royal decree on combinations of offices of April 26, 1808, to the Oberamt Leonberg . In 1832 the community received market rights. The first market took place on February 24, 1832. On August 19, 1895, the center of the village was devastated in a major fire.

20th century

In the Second World War, Friolzheim suffered severe damage from an Allied bombing raid and artillery attacks by French troops in the final phase of the war, resulting in numerous civilian deaths. In April 1945 Friolzheim was finally occupied by Moroccan soldiers. In July 1945, Friolzheim was added to the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was dissolved in the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

In the course of the administrative restoration and reorganization of the community administration after the end of the war, the later district administrator of the Leonberg district Friedrich Michael Jetter was appointed mayor of Friolzheim by the military government in 1945, as the community had been co-administered by neighboring communities since 1941. In 1946, in the presence of the then Minister of Culture of Württemberg-Baden and later Federal President Theodor Heuss and his wife Elly Heuss-Knapp, the first municipal council of Friolzheim was introduced.

In 1971 there was a major fire in the town center. Five buildings fell victim to the flames, including the “Rössle” inn.

With the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , Friolzheim was detached from the district of Leonberg against the declared will of the citizens and added to the newly formed Enzkreis on January 1, 1973. The ties to the old district and the former district town of Leonberg still exist today .

In the 1970s, the state government of Baden-Württemberg considered building a new international airport for Stuttgart west of the state capital, partly on the Friolzheimer district. The Geissberg area would have had to be completely leveled for this. After protests, this project was abandoned and the existing major airport in Echterdingen was expanded.

Religions

Until the end of the Second World War , Friolzheim was a typical old Württemberg and thus almost exclusively Protestant community. The old Protestant church, which was called the parish church of St. Agapitus, belongs to the Leonberg church district . Due to the influx of expellees after the war and of foreign residents, there is now a large proportion of people with a Roman Catholic creed. The Catholic parish of St. Franziskus in Friolzheim belongs to the pastoral care unit south in the Mühlacker deanery and is looked after by the parish of the Heilig Geist parish in Heimsheim. In addition to the Protestant and Catholic parishes, Friolzheim also has a New Apostolic Church and a regional church community parish of the Württemberg Christ Union .

In 1522, the nave was enlarged under Jacob Höß and Hans Wunderer , while the vaulted choir dates from the mid-15th century and has a Baden coat of arms. In the 20th century there were various conversions and additions. During the renovation work from 1966 to 1968, two figures of the same size painted on the wall came to light on the south wall.
• War memorial: In the churchyard of the parish church of St. Agapitus stands the memorial, which was erected in 1921 for those who fell and were missing in the First World War. In 1949, a further base was added to the left and right of the main base with the names of the fallen soldiers from the Second World War. On the main base, which is modeled on a sarcophagus, the image of a bowed warrior with a sword can be seen.
• Town Hall: The town hall from 1842 is located on the south side of the market square. The two-storey plastered building with sandstone-framed openings is in a neoclassical style. Its earlier use as a syringe house and wine press can be seen from the large round arch on the ground floor. The town hall was extensively renovated from 2017 to 2020.
• Zehntscheuer : It is in the immediate vicinity of the church. A stone tablet above the gates attests to their construction by the Hirsau Monastery in 1563. The abbot's staff and the three stag sticks indicate the former monastic and sovereign property relations. The tithe barn might have come into private ownership around 1812. In 1850 it was bought by the municipality. Since October 2011, it has been available as a "community center" for a wide range of uses such as celebrations, conferences and seminars, exhibitions, and also for association work.
• Leugenstein : In front of the tithe barn is the cast of a Roman milestone from the year 245 AD. It documents the Roman name Pforzheims = PORTUS. It was found in 1934 in the Friolzheimer district 200 m from the Raubrunnen farm along the Roman trade route from Cannstatt to Ettlingen . It gives the distance to Pforzheim as five leagues (approx. 11 kilometers). The original is now in the lapidarium of the State Museum in Stuttgart . Another replica stands in front of the wine press in Mühlacker .
• New fountain: This was set up on the market square in 1988 and comes from Hugo Krautter.
• Paulinenstraße - A particularly attractive ensemble of half-timbered houses is the street named after the popular Württemberg Queen Pauline von Württemberg , which lies north of the market square.
