Glemsgau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frankish-Alemannic border, established in 496, cuts through the Glemsgau south of Grüningen
Like the Franconian mark, the diocesan border divided the Glemsgau. The western and southern part belonged to the land chapters Grüningen and Weil of the city of the diocese of Speyer , the eastern part to the land chapter of Cannstatt of the diocese of Constance
Traditional core zone of the Strohgäus and peripheral areas to be included from a geographical point of view

The Glemsgau (also "Glemisgowe") in Baden-Württemberg is one of the 750 from the Carolingian house Meier Karl Mann introduced Gaugrafschaften that usually after rivers, here the Glems were named. The rulership of Glemsgau largely ignores the Franconian-Alemannic “ demarcation line ” and is almost congruent with the traditional core zone of the fertile Strohgau .

Historical geography

The Glemsgau straddles the 496 specified Frankish-Alemannic Mark , by the Hornisgrinde coming in Maichingen pivoted to the northeast and from about the "Glemseck" above Eltingens followed the Glems to north, from south Markgröningen east again pivoted and south on Asperg over to Lviv led. This border line also divided the dioceses of Speyer and Constance , which was particularly evident in Ditzingen , which is located to the left and right of the Glems : There is still a Speyer church and a Constance church here today. The ecclesiastical division of Glemsgau by the former Franconian border is shown on the map of the rural chapter of Grüningen (today Markgröningen). In contrast to the older ecclesiastical spatial planning, the political division of districts into districts , introduced under Karlmann , apparently ignored the traditional “demarcation line”.

The Glemsgau borders the Neckargau in the east and south-east , the Würmgau in the south-west and west and the Enzgau in the north-west . The marked royal estate and later Reichslehen Grüningen , which was not assigned to any of these counties and was reserved for the bearer of the Reichssturmfahne, had a special position on the northern edge . In the 11th century (until 1121) it was awarded to Count Werner "von Grüningen" together with the Neckargau .

Glemsgau locations

The following settlements can be assigned to the Glemsgau from early medieval sources:

For the towns of Tamm , Brachheim ( Wüstung ), Eglosheim and Asperg , which are located in the eastern bulge of the Grüninger Landkapitels , no sources can be found, as Stälin already stated, that they belong to the Glemsgau. To the north, the old border seems to have been taken up. Asperg was only included as the seat of the Counts of Asperg-Tübingen in the 13th century . Leonberg , founded in 1248 by Count Ulrich I of Württemberg , was not included.

Dissolution of the county

After Count Ulrich II of Asperg-Tübingen had sold his shares in Glemsgau to Count Eberhard I of Württemberg in 1308 , Glemsgau became part of the County of Württemberg, no longer played a role as a political territorial term and was henceforth only used as a name for the region . The village “ Wyl im Glemsgawe ” used it for a long time as a cognomen to differentiate itself from other municipalities of the same name (such as Weil im Schönbuch or Weil der Stadt ), and reminds of it with “Glemsgaustraße”. Ultimately, however, “Weil dem Dorf” or “Weilimdorf” prevailed. Accordingly, the synonym "Strohgäu" had established itself as the name for the region in the region. In fact, the former rulership of the Glemsgau almost coincides with the core zone of the traditional cultural landscape of the Strohgau , which from a physical and geographical point of view is somewhat broader and is part of the natural area of ​​the Neckar Basin .

Under Württemberg rule, the Glemsgau places were mainly divided between the two official towns of Grüningen and Leonberg . The communities in the southeast came to Stuttgart and Cannstatt . In terms of the church, the places belonging to the Speyer diocese, including Leonberg, remained subordinate to the Grüningen rural chapter of the Archdeaconate of Trinity until the Reformation . The places east of the Franconian-Alemannic Mark belonged to the Cannstatt Land Chapter . Both land chapters were in the hands of the Counts of Grüningen in the 13th century : Ludwig von Grüningen, son of Count Hartmann II. Von Grüningen and Canon of Augsburg , was parish lord of Grüningen and Cannstatt and thus dean for all churches in Glemsgau.

Counts

Whether the Asperg served as the seat of the Glemsgau counts from the beginning is questionable and is only certain for the counts of Asperg-Tübingen

Counts of Glemsgau were:
