geography

Geographical location

Aerial view of Gauangelloch with a view of the Königstuhl

Gauangelloch is located on the southern slope of the Königstuhl massif , Heidelberg's local mountain, on which Heidelberg Castle is also located, as well as in the Neckartal-Odenwald nature park and belongs to the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region . Most of the district is in the Kraichgau , the northern part of the district is still part of the Little Odenwald due to the characteristic red sandstone . The natural area , which lies between 175 and 312 meters above sea level, is divided by three valleys running from north to south. One of the valleys is that of the upper reaches of the Gauangelbach , to the west of which are the valleys of the Ochsenbach and the Daisbachlein, the latter also forming the western boundary of the natural area.

The following places border on Gauangelloch - they are named clockwise starting in the north: Gaiberg , Bammental , Schatthausen ( Wiesloch ), Ochsenbach (Leimen), Lingental (Leimen).

history

History of origin

former Gauangelloch Castle (approx. 1980)

In the 1970s, a cult ax made of gray-green jadeite was found in the "Insel" area, dating back to 4000-1800 BC. BC falls into the Neolithic and thus at least proves the occasional presence of Stone Age people. In the area of ​​today's Gauangelloch potsherds and wall remains were also found, which suggest a settlement already in Roman times ; the establishment of the place can be dated to around the 8th or 9th century.

The first mention of the village as "Angelach" in a presumably forged or backdated to 1016 document of the diocese of Worms belongs to the 12th century. The document, which is written in Latin, documents the furnishings of the St. Paul monastery, newly founded by Bishop Burchard I in Worms, with its goods. It says about Gauangelloch: "[...] In addition, I (Bishop Burchard) gave them (the brothers of St. Paul-Stifts) [...] to Gauangelloch nine and a half manes and two free goods [...]". Said document is now in the Heidelberg University Library . Despite alleged backdating, the document should largely correctly reflect the relationships described therein.

For centuries the place was called Angelloch in the colloquial or official language . The place name is made up of the word parts angel (fish hook or Middle High German fish rod, sting) and och (river / water (Old High German aha or Middle High German ahe )) and makes a reference to the water flowing in the place. The combination of both parts of the word results in the old German angel-aha and the Middle High German angel-ahe, from which Angellach and Angelloch developed over time, even if forms such as Andelachen (1198), Angelach (1289), Gauangelach (1496) , Anngenloch (1559) existed. In the document from 1016 there was still talk of "Angelachen". The extension of the name by the prefix "Gau" refers to the landscape requirements of the region, namely fertile farmland with relatively little forest, which therefore had agriculture as the center of village life. The opposite is true for places with the prefix "forest". To distinguish it from Waldangelloch on the other source arm of the Angelbach, around 1300 there was also talk of "Angelach uf dem Geiberge" (Angelach auf dem Gaiberg), from which the current place name "Gauangelloch" was ultimately formed in modern times.

The first secure notarization of Gauangelloch, its Catholic mother parish with St. Peter's patronage and the branches Gaiberg, Schatthausen and (Wald-) Hilsbach dates from 1270; the feudal sovereignty of the Count Palatine over Gauangelloch is first attested in 1391.

During the age of chivalry settled the Knights of In Lach or fishing hole here and built the as Bettendorf Castle MOORISH known Wasserburg Gauangelloch as manor; in 1453, the feudal lordship of those von Angelloch passed to the barons of Bettendorff . The Reformation was carried out around 1522 when the von Bettendorff family accepted the Lutheran doctrine , and with it the majority of the population. As a result of the Reformation, u. a. From now on Ochsenbach is supplied by the church from Schatthausen. Around 1650 the communities Gauangelloch and Mauer were bound.

In the Thirty Years War Gauangelloch was completely destroyed, the residents fled or were killed. It was not until 1665 that Johann Philipp and Helena von Bettendorff rebuilt the castle. In the course of the 18th century, however, the castle fell into disrepair and began to crumble. In 1823 it was demolished and Franz Ludwig von Bettendorff made the cellar of the castle available to the immigrating Catholics in order to build a chapel on it in 1824, which served as a church in 1902 and was then converted into a barn. The Göler von Ravensburg family represents the patronage family of the Evangelical Church Community Gauangelloch.

In 1937, the neighboring Ochsenbach was incorporated into Gauangelloch. Ochsenbach was first mentioned in the list of Speyer serfs around 1300. In 1771 the village was united with the neighboring farm Maisbach under its own staff holder , and the hamlet of Lingental was assigned to this new municipality in 1797 . The three communities existed until 1935; after they had forcibly formed a unified community from 1935 to 1937, on April 1, 1937 Lingental was connected to Leimen , Maisbach to Nussloch and Ochsenbach to Gauangelloch.

In the following years, the community of Gauangelloch and its Ochsenbach district changed from a farming village to a commuter community . On October 1, 1973, it was incorporated into the city of Leimen. Since then, Gauangelloch and Ochsenbach have developed into attractive places to live. However, both have retained their village character and are therefore popular places that invite you to hike through Kraichgau and Odenwald.

Population development

Overall, the population development in Gauangelloch can be described as gently and steadily increasing. As a result of the results of the 2011 census, the originally assumed population had to be reduced by around 200 inhabitants.

The former school building and today's town hall, built by the citizens, dates from 1899.

There are two self-built churches in the village, both of which were built in the neo-Gothic style. Initially a Protestant church (presumably consecrated to Peter) with a square bell tower and an additional round stair tower, built in the years 1901–1902. The four bells contained in the bell tower are named after the evangelists Matthew, Luke, Mark and John. An early design for the church to be built from 1832 has been preserved.

There is also a Catholic church (St. Peter). The original "Peterspfarrkirche" was donated by Provost Gerhard to St. Paul-Stift in Worms in 1020 and had to give way to a new baroque building in 1752, which was then replaced by the current church, built between 1902 and 1904.
