geography

location

Griesingen is located on the Danube about 25 kilometers upstream from Ulm .

Neighboring communities

The community borders in the east on Öpfingen , in the south on the city of Laupheim in the district of Biberach and is otherwise surrounded by the area of ​​the city ​​of Ehingen .

Field names

"Field names are the names of mountains and valleys, forests and fields, streams and ponds, paths and footbridges and other uninhabited areas outside of settlements. They contain, often handed down over many centuries, old - often foreign - language and allow conclusions to be drawn settlement history. Field names are therefore important sources of regional history. " (Source: Heimatbund Thuringia)

Some field names are old, but still in lively use, others have become history and are only known to a few people. They tell something about the life and work of the local people - how they earned their living, what they had to struggle with, where they celebrated their parties and where they celebrate today.

At the Griesing Forest

The parcel is located at the edge of the forest in the extension of the forest road, past Käppele, up the mountain along the edge of the forest, past the Bildstöckle. The parcel is about halfway between the Käppele and the corner of the forest, to the south. Neighboring: Bibellüß, Greut, Hinter dem Berg, Blößäcker (partly marked Schaiblishausen). The community of Griesingen owns two small forest parcels in the Taxis forest. However, these are located in the south-eastern marking area at the parcels "Unteres Greut" and "Eichenwäldle", far from the corridor "Am Griesinger Wald". The name “Am Griesinger Wald” cannot refer to communal ownership, but to the location of this large forest area, which is located near Griesingen and to a large extent also on Griesinger Markung. In neighboring towns, too, people speak of the "Griesinger Forest". The parcel “must have been cleared and distributed to the farmers in the 18th century.” (C. Kohl) - See also “Am Nasgenstadter See” under the corridor below.

At the Nasgenstadter See

Today the parcel is probably on the Nasgenstadt mark. However, it is no longer entered on land maps. But it stands to reason that it was reflected in the Nasgenstadt field names Wasserstall, Hirtensee and “Krummer See”. After the Thirty Years War (1618–48), additional areas were made arable through the deliberate influx of farmers (see “Stockäcker”). Also in Ösch, which is located in Nasgenstadt, new field names were created at the same time - on the former Griesinger mark: Am Nasgenstadter See, Brühl, Halden, Pfaffental, Im See (Krummer See), Untere Au.

Old pasture parts

Almost on the south-eastern boundary of the marker (Riississen zu), on the edge of the forest. Neighboring: Forch parts, footbridge, lower street parts. Parts are mostly small pieces from the commons. Common land is the name of the agricultural land jointly managed by the village community. The right of use was raffled. Therefore one also said loose parts or common parts. After their use, there were also parts of cattle, beetroot, etc. in addition to cattle parts aspired to the community. Such requests were carefully examined at the mayor's office (municipal administration). So that a new citizen of the community would probably not be a burden, he had to prove his reputation (something like a police clearance certificate) and his financial position by means of certificates. A citizenship fee had to be paid for the citizenship granted. Often there were also obligations, for example to buy a fire bucket to fight fires in the community. (...) A resident who was not a citizen of the community was not entitled to the privileges of a citizen such as social help, common land use, free school attendance. If a citizen was in arrears with fees or taxes for the community, he was threatened with the withdrawal of citizenship. "(Wohlleb, Altsteußlingen)
