Leingarten is a town in the district of Heilbronn ( Baden-Württemberg ), which was created in the course of the regional reform on January 1, 1970 from the merger of the communities Großgartach and Schluchtern and was elevated to a town on January 1, 2020.

geography

Leingarten with the suburbs Großgartach and Schluchtern (the district Riedhöfe still belongs to Schluchtern) is located in the Leintal, in the western part of the Heilbronn district. Neighboring cities and communities are Nordheim and Schwaigern as well as the Heilbronn district with the districts of Kirchhausen , Frankenbach , Böckingen and Klingenberg . The urban area lies on both sides of the Lein and extends in the southwest partially to the northeastern foothills of the Heuchelberg . The descending gravel terraces of the Neckar begin in the east . Both sub-locations are at around 170  m above sea level. NN with 315.2 m at the Heuchelberger Warte and 164.4 m at the eastern Leinbach. The Leintal naturally belongs to the Kraichgau and to the large landscape of the Neckar and Tauber-Gäuplatten. The Keuper areas are mostly covered by loess , which is broken through in some places by marl islands , in places covered with vines. The Keuper marl soils are tough and clayey, the soil surfaces sometimes alternately moist or swampy. The growing climate is warm and favors arable, fruit and wine growing.

history

Grossgartach 1807

Already in the early Neolithic more than 7000 years ago people settled in what is now the Leingarten district. The Heilbronn doctor Alfred Schliz (1849–1915) discovered the Stone Age settlement of Großgartach with numerous finds made of stone, bones and clay. Because of the characteristically decorated ceramics, he coined the term Großgartacher Kultur . On the plateau of the Heuchelberg he examined burial mounds of the corded ceramics and in the lance fields and in the wood ground he uncovered Bronze Age dwellings. The discovery of a casting mold for bronze pencils and, most recently, the excavations in 2009 in the Kappmannsgrund new development area also indicate settlement in the Bronze and Iron Ages . The almost leveled late Celtic Viereckschanze Röthe on the southwestern outskirts in the district Schluchtern provided finds from the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. A Roman road lies below today's main road in the district of Großgartach, and evidence of a Roman settlement was found below the Frankenschanze. Apparently there was also a villa rustica within the village . The Leingarten suburbs Großgartach and Schluchtern are documented in writing for the first time in the Lorsch Codex . "In the 15th year of King Pippin ", which corresponds to the years 766 and 767, they appear as Gardaha and Sluhtra in deeds of donation from the Lorsch Monastery . As part of the Baden-Württemberg regional reform , the two villages united on January 1, 1970 to form the new municipality of Leingarten. At the request of the municipality of Leingarten, the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg decided on November 5, 2019 to grant the municipality city rights from January 2020. The community can therefore call itself "City of Leingarten".

Grossgartach

Former town hall on Heilbronner Straße in Leingarten (demolished in 2009)

Today's town hall on the site of the previous building

The former Fron- or Herrenhof next to the Lorenz Church is the core of the later community. The grave of a woman buried with two gold earrings from around 700 AD, which was recovered when the old Lorenz Church was demolished in 1912, makes the presence of a noble family in the Fronhof likely.

The settlement was first mentioned in a document in 766: Urolf and Massim donated four acres of land in the Gardaha district and a serf to the Lorsch monastery . Between 766 and 882, 28 donations and two exchange agreements are recorded in the Lorsch Codex for Großgartach . A ring wall , the so-called Frankenschanze , was built around the year 1000.

At the beginning of the 12th century, almost three quarters of the basic rights of Großgartach belonged to the rule of the Counts of Lauffen , who in 1122 transferred their rights to the Odenheim monastery they had founded , which was then still on the Wigoldesberg . In 1219 the monastery received church patronage . In 1107, the Bishop of Worms left three farms in Großgartach to Wimpfen Monastery, which later acquired other goods there, including the Fronhof in 1290.

The Counts of Württemberg had owned land in Großgartach since 1367. In 1376 and 1379, bourgeois properties were added, and a quarter of the bailiwick was inherited from the Counts of Calw .

Through the contract of 1428, the mayor , who had been attested since 1265, was alternately appointed to hold shares in the bailiwick, for three years by the Odenheim monastery and for one year by the Württemberg people, who also received high authority (state sovereignty ) and jurisdiction. In 1483 they built the Heuchelberger Warte as an observation post and cornerstone of the moat . The lords of Magenheim are also mentioned as landlords. The remaining property was severely fragmented. In addition to the monasteries of Hirsau , Maulbronn and Schöntal and the presence of the Kilian Church in Heilbronn with rather small property, landlords from the knighthood were named in the 14th and 15th centuries : the Hochhausen , Venningen , Mentzingen , Weinsberg , Massenbach and Gemmingen . (The monastery of Odenheim acquired the property of the Lords von Massenbach in 1429.) After the decline of the Odenheim monastery, the last abbot achieved the conversion of the Benedictine abbey into a secular knightly monastery in 1494 , which in 1507 moved to Bruchsal with all rights , including the basic rights and the right of patronage in Großgartach.

In 1534, the Großgartach town hall served Duke Ulrich von Württemberg as headquarters before the battle of Lauffen . In 1598, around 820 people lived in Großgartach (182 had citizenship ), in 1684 there were only 567. In 1626, during the Thirty Years' War , 371 inhabitants died of the plague . In 1675 a big fire in the village also destroyed the town hall with all the documents.

With the secularization of 1802/03, the possession of the Bruchsal Monastery came to the Grand Duchy of Baden , which after a short time swapped it as a condominium in 1806 for other rights with Württemberg . After the founding of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806, Großgartach was initially assigned to the new Oberamt Kirchhausen, which only existed for a short time. From 1808 to 1811 the Oberamt Brackenheim was the responsible higher-level administrative unit and since 1811 the Oberamt Heilbronn , from which the Heilbronn district emerged in 1938. In 1939 there were 2,752 inhabitants in Großgartach, at the end of 1945 there were 2,994. Since the place had become part of the American occupation zone after the Second World War , it belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 . Großgartach has been part of the new community of Leingarten since 1970.

In 767 Schluchtern was first mentioned in a deed of donation from the Lorsch Monastery as Sluhtra . Witroz and his wife Cremhilt donate their property in Böckingen , Frankenbach , Sluhtra and Biberach to the Lorsch Monastery. From 766 to 882 five donations from Schluchtern are recorded in the Lorsch Codex. Until the high Middle Ages Schluchtern was a place in the Großgartach district , then it became independent with about a third of the area. Both villages have a common root and shared parts of their area, for example in the “three parts ” and in the “valley forest” , which was previously called part forest . The so-called Harchenburg , a multi-part fortification on the Heuchelberg, which was probably built in the 10th century , served the population as a refuge.

In the 13th century the lords of Neipperg had extensive property in Schluchtern. They were certainly also the builders of the old Pankratius Church , because until 1305 they had the right of patronage, and in the Schluchtern Weistum they are attested as collatores of the Electoral Palatinate , they had the right to propose the occupation of the pastorate. In 1338 and 1434 a Schluchtern local nobility is proven with the Lords of Schluchtern. In addition to the Lords of Neipperg, the Lords of Massenbach owned their Schluchterner estates from the late Middle Ages to the end of the Old Kingdom (1806). (The Lords of Neipperg had ownership rights to 20 farms in the second half of the 16th century.)

Until 1431 the place belonged to the rule of the Lords von Weinsberg , who in 1430 pledged their property to the Palatinate side line Pfalz-Mosbach and sold it a year later for 1000 guilders . Count Palatine Otto (1435–1499) gave the village in 1472 to the von Gemmingen-Guttenberg as pledge, which in 1519 still claimed the bailiwick and other rights. In 1499 Schluchtern came to the Electoral Palatinate by inheritance from Pfalz-Mosbach .

In addition to the Pfalz, Neipperg, Massenbach and Gemmingen, the von Niefern had property rights in Schluchtern, as well as church and city institutions in Heilbronn and individual citizens. In Schluchtern there was a mayor and two mayors, one in the council and court who observed the observance of the laws and ordinances and one in the community who was responsible for security and order, one learns from a copy of the Schluchtern village book. The renewed village order (Dorfrecht) has been in effect since 1572. The Vogt now sat in the Palatinate Oberamt Mosbach and no longer, as in 1569, in the Oberamt Richen . The responsible winery was the Hilsbach winery .

Around 400 inhabitants lived in the village around 1577, after the Thirty Years War there were only 16 families, around 70 people. Recruited by the Calvinist Elector Karl-Ludwig (1617–1680) and benefited from tax benefits, the first Swiss new settlers came to the village in 1651. 150 immigrants can be identified in the church records of the Reformed congregation. In 1683 there were again 57 families living in the village. The Palatinate War of Succession and the wars that followed brought new misery. The first Jewish family of the Jewish community Schluchtern can be traced back to 1722 . In 1774 there were two churches, three schools and 77 houses in the village. In 1803 Schluchtern had 717 inhabitants, 91 houses, 230 cattle and 41 horses.

With the Oberamt Mosbach Schluchtern came to the Principality of Leiningen through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1802/03 and with this 1806 at the end of the Old Kingdom through mediation to the Grand Duchy of Baden . Leiningen retained manorial rights until 1945, and the princes' descendants still hold church patronage today. Since the surrounding areas became part of Württemberg, the place henceforth formed a Baden enclave in Württemberg. Several attempts by both sides to transfer the place to Württemberg remained without result. On June 25, 1945, the American military government in Heilbronn ordered the Baden community to be incorporated into the Württemberg district of Heilbronn . In 1956 this act was sanctioned by a resolution of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg . In 1966, the Riedhöfe residential area was built on the Schluchtern district. Schluchtern has been part of the new community of Leingarten since 1970.

Religions

history

Grossgartach

A church in Großgartach is mentioned for the first time in 1122, a predecessor of the Laurentiuskirche described in the Worms Synodal in 1496 , a parish church with early mass chaplaincy . In 1535, with the introduction of the Reformation in the Duchy of Württemberg , Großgartach became Evangelical-Lutheran . Despite changing secular ownership in the village, the community remained almost entirely Protestant until the end of the Second World War. In 1865 there were two Catholics in the village who belonged to the parish of Kirchhausen ; there were 26 in 1930. Due to displaced persons and refugees , their number grew considerably, to around 600 in 1957. The services were held in the Protestant Lorenzkirche until the Catholic community in 1957 their newly built church of St. Lioba moved in. The parish was looked after by the Schluchtern parish until 1957 and by the Kirchhausen parish until 1971.

Ravages

1305 is the first documented evidence of a church in Schluchtern, a predecessor of the church that the Worms synod of 1496 first named Pankratiuskirche . In the Electoral Palatinate - and thus also in Schluchtern - the Lutheran Reformation was officially introduced in 1556. From 1559, after the Electoral Palatinate came to the Calvinist line of the house, Schluchtern belonged to the Evangelical Reformed Church. From 1685 the electors were Catholic, and a Catholic and a Lutheran congregation emerged next to the Reformed church. Until the abolition of the Simultaneum in 1707, the three denominations could use the Pankratius Church together. In 1744, 65 Reformed, 196 Lutherans and 84 Catholics lived in the village. The Lutheran congregation built its own church in 1744; the Catholics had to be content with a room in the basement of the town hall at times. The construction of a Catholic church, which began in 1752, was soon discontinued. In 1823 the Catholic community was able to acquire the Pankratius Church from the Reformed, because the Reformed, together with the Lutherans, had been attending the Lutheran Church as a uniate Evangelical community since 1821 . In 1843/46 this was replaced elsewhere by the new building of today's Martin Luther Church .

The Jewish community Schluchtern came into being in the 18th century. A Jewish family had lived here since 1710 at the latest; in 1729 there were four. In 1801 there were ten families with a total of 42 people. As early as 1809, the Jews in Baden had been recognized as a religious community and were thus treated equally with members of the Christian denominations. The number of Jewish residents of Schluchtern therefore increased: with 66 people it comprised ten percent of the population in 1812, with 99 people it reached its peak in 1885. The Jewish community now had its own cemetery in Schluchtern . In 1914 she built a new simple synagogue , which was destroyed by four men from the neighboring village during the pogrom night in 1938 . The last twelve Jewish residents of Schluchtern were deported with other Jews from Baden to the Gurs internment camp in southern France in October 1940 and from there in August 1942 in cattle trucks to the Auschwitz extermination camp , where their traces are lost.

Leingarten

After the merger of the communities of Großgartach and Schluchtern, the Archdiocese of Freiburg has no longer been responsible for the Catholic parish Schluchtern since 1971 , but the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart . United with the Catholic community in Großgartach, the Catholic parish of St. Pankratius / St. Lioba Leingarten was established in 1977 . In addition to the Protestant parish of Großgartach , Leingarten also has the independent Protestant parish of Schluchtern , which since 1975 no longer belongs to the Baden, but to the Württemberg regional church .

On June 30, 2012, 5,281 Leingarten residents were Protestants and 2,401 belonged to the Catholic Church. Around 3342 residents were non-denominational or followers of another Christian denomination or a non-Christian religion, especially Muslim .

The history of the Methodist Church in Leingarten begins in 1868 with the appearance of a Methodist in Großgartach. A year later, the first Methodist meeting was held in a private house. In 1872 a prayer room was built and in 1884 a small chapel was built elsewhere , which was renovated and rebuilt several times over the years. After the chapel was demolished and a church was built on the site, the Methodists inaugurated their new community center in 2003 . The United Methodist Church is an Evangelical Free Church . The municipality of Leingarten belongs to the Heilbronn district.

The New Apostolic Church's first divine services took place from 1932 in Großgartach and from 1949 in Schluchtern in private houses. In 1951 a chapel was built for Schluchtern and in 1958 for Großgartach. The two parishes had about a hundred members. Together they built a new church building in 1988. The congregation now has 160 members who are not looked after by trained theologians , but by voluntary pastors . The congregation belongs to the Heilbronn district and to the legally independent New Apostolic Church of Southern Germany , a corporation under public law .

Denomination statistics

According to the 2011 census , the majority of the population was 48.5% Protestant , 21.9% Roman Catholic and 29.6% were non-denominational , belonged to another religious community or did not provide any information. The number of Protestants and Catholics has fallen since then. As of June 30, 2017, of the 11,664 inhabitants, 20.0% (2,336) were Roman Catholic, 42.8% (4,990) Protestant and 37.2% either belong to another religion or are non-denominational.

  Schluchtern's coat of arms

After the unification of Großgartach and Schluchtern, the archive management in Stuttgart proposed to the new municipality of Leingarten to adopt the Großgartach coat of arms, the tradition of which goes back to the 14th century. This could not be implemented in local politics. The new Leingarten coat of arms designed as a result shows the attributes of the church patrons of the predecessor communities Großgartach and Schluchtern, the sword of St. Pankratius and the rust of St. Laurentius . It was awarded to the community together with the flag on September 25, 1970 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior.

The blazon of the Großgartach coat of arms reads: In silver the standing, golden nimbly Saint Laurentius in a red deacon's robe, in his right hand a green palm branch, in the left a black rust . The community flag in use since 1939 was red and white.

The oldest known seal of Großgartach , only preserved in a fragment, on a document dated May 25, 1379 shows a figure on a grate, probably St. Laurentius, the local patron, according to the inscription and the type of representation. This seal is the oldest known village seal in Württemberg. Later Großgartach seals from 1531 show Laurentius in the usual representation with a palm tree in his right hand and rust in his left. The rust 1684 on marker stones must be proven as a stain . Laurentius first appears as a heraldic figure in a heraldic shield in 1583 in the landscape building in Stuttgart. In 1956, the archive directorate determined the colors of the coat of arms, and in 1957 it was used for the first time by the municipality in a coat of arms.

The blazon of the Schluchtern coat of arms reads: In blue a standing, silver armored youthful saint (St. Pankratius) with golden curls and golden nimbus, the left hand braced in the side, in the right hand holding a golden sword pointing upwards to the right . The municipality flag was white and blue.

The Schluchtern church patron St. Pankratius is depicted on a seal from 1620 and has served as a coat of arms ever since. The colors were determined in 1901 by the General State Archives in Karlsruhe . On October 8, 1963, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior awarded Schluchtern its flag.

Partner communities

Leingarten's partner communities are Lésigny in France (since May 1975) and Asola in Italy (since October 30, 2004). Lésigny and Asola are also partner communities with each other, which is why Leingarten describes the partnership as a trilateral partnership.

Culture and sights

Hypocritical waiting

Leingarten is located on the Württemberg Wine Route , which leads past many sights.

Buildings

A widely visible landmark of Leingarten is the Heuchelberger Warte , a watchtower built in 1483 on the Heuchelberg by Count Eberhard im Barte , which was part of the Württemberg Landgraben . Today the Heuchelberger Warte is a popular destination with a forest restaurant. The Frankenschanze ramparts are located below the Heuchelberger Warte on the outskirts of the Großgartach district . On the outskirts of the Schluchtern district, on a foothills of the Heuchelberg, there is Harchenburg, which can only be recognized by ramparts .

In the district of Großgartach there is the Evangelical Lorenz Church , which was built in 1913 based on designs by Martin Elsaesser . The late Romanesque former tower choir of a previous building was preserved as a baptistery. The old walled-up arched gate of the cemetery is dated to 1577. The Großgartach waterworks from 1906 is also striking .

Pankratiuskirche

In the district of Schluchtern there is the essentially late Gothic Pankratius Church, first mentioned in 1493 , which served as a simultaneous church from around 1700, then for a long time as a Protestant church and has been a Catholic church since 1823. The Protestant Martin Luther Church was built from 1843 to 1846, the interior was later redesigned several times and has had its current name since 1996. Between the two churches are the Catholic rectory from 1727 and the Protestant rectory from 1858, as well as the old town hall built in 1902 . Remains of the former synagogue have risen in the building at 15 Brunnengasse.

Sculpture Uomo universale by Gunther Stilling

In July 2007 the artist symposium Kunst Raum Kreisel took place, as a result of which five large-format sculptures, now mostly set up at crossings, remained in Leingarten. In front of the town hall on Heilbronner Straße was the marble sculpture Hope by Giorgie Cpajak , which is over five meters high . At the roundabout at the intersection of Heilbronner and Eppinger Strasse is the sandstone sculpture Past and Present by Matthew Simmonds . At the intersection of Eppinger and Kirchhausener Strasse is the sculpture Europa and the bull by Georg Viktor, made of two sandstone objects . In the further course of Kirchhausener Straße there are the sculpture Utopie in Stein by Christiane Guillaubey and the metal sculpture Uomo universale by Gunther Stilling, which was erected on June 29, 2008 in further roundabouts . On May 4, 2012, the Madonna of the late Leingartner artist Peer Friedel was unveiled in front of the cultural center.
