history

Origin of name and first written mentions

The "Burg / Stadt an der Günz " lies at the mouth of this river in the Danube. The name of the Günz is said to be derived from the Indo-European * gheu for "pour", meaning "water-rich river". Presumably it stems from the belief of the Celts that the goddess Gôntia lives in the river . The cult was adopted by the Romans . There was an inscription on a consecration stone with the text Gontiae sacr (um) - "consecrated to Gontia". The first written mentions were made:

• around 77/78 AD: building inscription of the older Roman fort (found around 1910, without mentioning the place name)
• 2nd / 3rd Century AD: consecration stone for the goddess Gôntia (found 1929)
• Beginning of the 3rd century: Mentioned in the street directory Itinerarium Antonini as Guntia
• at 297: in an eulogy for the regent Constantius Chlorus ( Panegyricus VIII. Incipit quartus, 2,1): "[...] usque ad Danubii transitum Guntiensem [...]")
• around 430: Mention of the military unit "Milites Ursariensis" in Guntiae in the Notitia dignitatum
• around 802: In "castellum Guntionis", according to the annals of the St. Emmeram monastery, "Cadaloc, Goterhammus and the many others were murdered".
• 1065: King Henry IV sealed a document to “ze Gunceburch”.
• 1242: A "dominus Hainricus de Guncenburch" is attested in the document register of the Bolzano notary Jakob Haas as a buyer of imported wine.

Prehistory, Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages

There are many traces of Celtic and other prehistoric and early historical settlements and burial places in the area (especially barrows and square entrenchments ). The castle hill of the Reisensburg district has been settled again and again since the Neolithic and is known as the "Swabian Acropolis". A chariot grave found in Leipheim indicates the presence of a Hallstatt-era prince's seat in the vicinity.

Günzburg itself was founded as a fort by the Romans to defend the Danube border. There were at least two successive castles: the first from around AD 77, the second after the border between the Rhaetian Limes and the Danube was withdrawn as a result of the Alemanni incursions of AD 260; they served to secure an important bridge over the Danube. This bridge was probably the last in Roman hands after the Alemanni storm - it seems to have been a well-known geographical term in the Roman world, it is mentioned as "Transitus Guntiensis" in an eulogy for the regent Constantius Chlorus . The forts were located in the area of ​​today's Saint Martin Church . Travertine -Quader the late antique fortress were used for the construction of the church tower, also located such stones found in the construction of Günzbrücke.

Stationed in Gunzburg at the dawn Ala II Flavia milliaria , a 1,000-strong Roman elite - riders unit (later the unit of Heidenheim , then to Aalen moved). In late antiquity , the fortress was occupied by the "Milites Ursariensis", a respected troop of unknown origin and weapon type under the Dux Raetiae - the unit probably consisted to a large extent of federated Teutons . It is believed that Guntia was also a base of the Roman Danube fleet. In addition to the fort, a larger, at times quite prosperous civil settlement ( vicus ) developed with good integration into the Roman highway network. The results of the extensive excavations of Roman burial sites can be viewed in the local history museum. It is one of the largest excavated Roman burial grounds north of the Alps (several thousand burials). In 2013, during excavations, a mighty warehouse dated to the year 90 AD was discovered, the foundations of which were made of oak. The coin series of the Günzburg excavations ranges from Emperor Augustus to Anastasius .

Around 488 Odoacer ordered the Romans to withdraw from Raetia , although it is unclear to what extent this order was obeyed in the region. Presumably at least some Romans or Romans and Celts stayed behind, since the nearby settlements Waldstetten and Waldkirch were identified as places where Walchen and Welsche settled. From 493 on, the Ostrogoths had at least formally suzerainty in this area . These settled Alemannic settlers from 506 as border guards against the Franks . These probably mixed with the still resident Celts, Romans and the remaining Germanic auxiliary troops. In 536 the Ostrogoths had to cede the area to the Franks. A Franconian royal court probably existed at the site of the Roman forts, the substructure of the church tower of St. Martin is said to be a remnant of this court. The nearby Reisensburg Castle was mentioned as "Ricinis" as early as 600 by the " Geographer of Ravenna " as one of the most important castles of Alemannia. In Frankish Gausystem Gunzburg was probably a part of the Duria-Gaus .

Austrian outpost

Coat of arms of Günzburg with the Austrian shield, until 1812

In 1301, after the Counts of Berg died out - an ancient noble family related by marriage to the Staufers and to whom the title of margrave was awarded - the town came into the possession of the House of Austria / Habsburg as a "settled imperial fief" , which made Günzburg the capital of the Margraviate of Burgau . Soon after it was taken over by the Habsburgs, the (Roman) lower town, which was originally located in the valley where the Günz meets the Danube, was expanded to include an "upper town" built on a Riedel promontory , which quickly outstripped the "lower town" due to the relocation of the market. In 1418 the city received high jurisdiction .

In 1418 Günzburg and the margraviate were to be sold to Bavaria due to lack of money , but this was prevented by the imperial cities of Augsburg and Ulm as well as other members of the Swabian Confederation - through corresponding financial compensation to Austria. Even in later times, Günzburg and the margraviate could always count on the willingness of the imperial cities of Augsburg and Ulm, the Bishop of Augsburg and the Fugger family to keep the Bavarian dukes' desire for land west of the Lech in check.

When the Jewish community was expelled from Ulm at the end of the 15th century , most of them came to Günzburg. They settled where Münzgasse and Eisenhausgasse lead to Schweinchenbrunnen today and founded one of the most important centers of South German Jewry . The Günzburg Jewish community had its heyday in the 16th century. The headmaster Simeon ben Eliezer (* 1506 Günzburg, † 1585 Burgau), called Simon von Günzburg , was in close contact with Karl V. Members of the community emigrated to Frankfurt am Main and founded the successful trading company "Stadt Günzburg", which up to existed in the 19th century. (See also Jewish community Günzburg )

Very close to Günzburg, the Leipheimer Haufen (around 5,000 farmers) was massacred by the army of the Swabian Federation during the German Peasants' War in 1525 .

From 1609 to 1618 the city was the residence of Margrave Karl von Burgau , a strict Catholic and son of Ferdinand II in Tyrol, governor of Upper Austria . His father had a large castle built for him by the Italian master builder Alberto Lucchese from 1577–1580. In 1617 the margrave ordered the expulsion of the Günzburg Jewish community within a year (the common Jewish surnames Ginsburg , Gainsbourg , Ginsberg , Ginzberg , Ginzburg etc. mostly refer to descendants of this community). Karl and his wife Sybille had no children, so that Günzburg fell back to the main Habsburg line. Both were buried in the Capuchin monastery founded by Karl in 1616 .

The city ​​suffered severe damage in the Thirty Years War . Of the more than 2,400 inhabitants, only one in three experienced the end of this catastrophic war, some smaller surrounding villages (such as Kleinkötz ) were hit even harder. In 1703, during the War of the Spanish Succession, the castle and 26 neighboring houses burned down.

Another city fire in 1735, during which 176 houses were destroyed, hit the city hard. However, doing only the construction was Frauenkirche of Dominic Zimmermann allows a masterpiece of Rococo . Empress Maria Theresa was very well disposed to the city; during their reign a successful mint was built, among other things. This is where the Maria Theresa thaler , the most popular silver coin in the world, was minted until the end of Austrian rule . The thalers minted in Vienna to this day still bear the Günzburg mint master mark “SF” (initials of the mint masters Tobias Schöbl and Joseph Faby ). The school system was also reorganized through the appointment of the Piarists and the English Misses , who still maintain a secondary school and a grammar school for girls in the city.

The trading companies Brentano , Molo and Rebay from the Lake Como area had branches in Günzburg since the early 18th century . They bought the raw canvas produced here, bleached it on the bleaching meadows leased by the city (along the Günz) and resold the goods that had been tested for quality (for a city fee). By founding a Danube shipping company with regular ships ( plattens ) to Vienna , Günzburg was also connected to the eastern parts of the Habsburg Empire by water . Many people who wanted to emigrate (today known as Danube Swabians ) to the Hungarian Banat were embarked here.

The Danube flows and flows again - Danube Swabian folk song from the time of the settlement of Hungary

The Danube flows and again flows to the sea day and night, a 'well' that moves on and you don't see any more. All 'spring' come back, the stork comes back, but those who went to Hungary will never come. The country of Hungary is the richest country, there grows a lot of wine and traid; That's how it is announced in Günzburg / the ships are already ready. There are a lot of cattle and fish and birds / and the pasture is for days, if you move to Hungary now, the golden age is blossoming. My sweetheart has also tried his luck, but not to pass the time "And before the Holder's third bloom, I'll get you as a woman!" And seven, seven long years are now up and down; I wish I was with my sweetheart but nobody knows his grave.

Emperor Joseph II made Günzburg a garrison . For this purpose, Joseph Dossenberger built the Rococo barracks, which is now used as the “House of Education” (adult education center, technical college) at the southeast end of the upper town , and the commandant's office on Augsburger Strasse .

On May 18, 1803, Günzburg became the provincial capital of Upper Austria , which covered large areas of the old Duchy of Swabia . On October 9, 1805 there was heavy fighting at the Günzburg Danube bridges in the course of the Third Coalition War and in the run-up to the Battle of Elchingen . A few days later, when Napoleon dismissed the city's dignitaries in the Günzburg town hall, he finally mentioned the reason why the city on the Danube became a theater of war: “C'est un malheur d'être à l'Autriche!” - “It is just a misfortune to belong to Austria ”.

Belonging to Bavaria

After the Peace of Pressburg , the city became Bavarian in 1806 . Since Günzburg lost the status of an Austrian state capital and the residents had dislike for Bavaria for centuries, this news was received rather negatively by the residents. Pastor Feuchtmayer to have preached on New Year 1806: "So now we are become Bavarian - probably we did not deserve better because of our sins." For years, refused the Günzburger, the Austrian shield of the coat of arms to be removed and instead the Bavarian diamonds to take over (1812).

The completion of the Munich-Stuttgart railway line (1853, " Bavarian Maximiliansbahn ") marked the beginning of industrial production in Günzburg and the surrounding area. This was followed by the connection to the Danube Valley Railway and in 1892 the opening of the Mittelschwabenbahn , which connects Günzburg with Krumbach and Mindelheim .

The newly developed Messerschmitt Me 262 air force aircraft made its maiden flight at Leipheim Air Base in 1942 . In April 1945, at the end of the Second World War , the city was bombed by Allied air forces. Among other things, the Denzingen district, the castle and an ammunition train that was parked in the station were badly hit or destroyed.

Incorporations

The previously independent municipality of Nornheim was incorporated as part of the municipal reform on July 1, 1972. On May 1, 1978 Deffingen, Denzingen, Leinheim, Reisensburg, Riedhausen and Wasserburg were added.

Oddities

In "revenge" for centuries of disdain for the lower town by the people of Upper Town, a stonemason allowed himself a joke during the renovation of the upper town market square: he built a large, rear-shaped stone into the pavement, which is supposed to express what the people of the lower town think of the people of Upper Town.

The name Günzburg is on the east pillar of the triumphal arch in Paris (there, however, GUNTZBOURG is written). Responsible for this was Napoleon , who in 1805 forgot to pay his bill of 463 guilders in Günzburg . In 1989, French President François Mitterrand , accompanied by then Chancellor Helmut Kohl, symbolically paid off the old debts during a visit to the historic old town.
