history
Until the 18th century
Archaeological excavations in St. Martin's Church show that the settlement of the Gruibinger Valley goes back to the early Middle Ages. Grave finds prove the presence of rich people on site: Among other things, a gold earring was found, which indicates a formerly very richly decorated noble grave. There are also references to the burial of a cleric whose grave furnishings reveal references to the Romanesque, perhaps Burgundian area. Traces of settlement from the Merovingian and Carolingian times can be found directly north of the Martinskirche and at the northern exit of the village, which indicates an originally polycentric settlement structure.
Gruibingen was first mentioned in a document in 861 in the foundation letter for the establishment of the Wiesensteig monastery . In it the monastery was described as lying in griubingaro marco . Various indications in connection with the monastery foundation indicate that Gruibingen was still an important point of rule at that time and the monastery foundation could possibly have originated from Gruibingen.
Nevertheless, none of these manors succeeded in establishing a local government. Gruibingen still had high jurisdiction , its own measure and an ancient market law . In the 15th century it was even referred to as a free village, which underlines its importance again.
Only between 1418 and 1533 was Gruibingen revoked the status of a free village by the rule of Württemberg and the old freedoms and rights were restricted. During the Reformation the place became Protestant as part of Württemberg . From now on Gruibingen was not only on the rulership border between the Duchy of Württemberg and the County of Helfenstein , but also on a religious border between the Protestant and the Catholic denominations, which was to influence further development.
During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) there was hardship and misery; 131 men died from the effects of war, epidemics and disease. Towards the end of the war in 1647 the village was looted and set on fire. 130 houses and barns burned down. Already 21 years later there was another fire disaster, which was triggered by a village blacksmith and to which the whole place, with the exception of the church, rectory, fruit box, tithe barn and a single farmhouse fell victim. Seven people died in the flames.
The place could not grow back to its original size and in 1712 it is even said that “no rhinestones passed through the patch”. The economic conditions were largely limited to small-scale agriculture and a few craftsmen.
19th and 20th centuries
Gruibingen was largely cut off from industrialization in the 19th century, the residents continued to live from agriculture and small ancillary trades.
It was not until the 20th century that employment opportunities outside of agriculture became available. Since the Second World War , Gruibingen has developed into a stately village with a good infrastructure , several craft businesses and medium-sized companies.
Religions
Gruibingen has been evangelical since the Reformation . Today there is only one Protestant parish in town. Nevertheless, there is currently a balance between Protestants and Catholics in Gruibingen , the latter form a separate parish with the neighboring community of Mühlhausen im Täle , which in turn is a pastoral care unit together with the parishes of Hohenstadt and Wiesensteig . The priest , who lives in the main parish of Wiesensteig, takes care of all four parishes.
