Gundelshausen is a hamlet in the small town of Dornhan in Baden-Württemberg in the Rottweil district .

history

In Won "Götterbühl" in 1926 and 1949 at Gundelshausen three were alemannische stone slab tombs found, which probably date from the 8th century. The grave chambers , which were partially bricked ( dry stone technique ), partially carved into the rock and covered with sandstone slabs, contained 7 to 8 skeletons or skeletal remains. With the exception of a broken iron knife, no grave goods were found. The “Schelmengarten”, a little to the east of the excavations, is likely to indicate earlier skeletal finds there as well. The stone slab graves show that the area of ​​Gundelshausen was already settled in Alemannic times.

First mention

Gundelshausen is not mentioned in a document until much later, namely in 1125/27 (in the oldest documents it has the name "Gundolfishusen"). Gundelshausen was an early expansion site from Dornhan. In the village, the Alpirsbach monastery is believed to have been the landlord and lower judge and thus the local lord.

In the 12th century Gundelshausen seems to have had its own local nobility, because a Walther and Aalbrecht de (von) Gundolfishusen are named as witnesses in a document in 1125/27. In 1256 the spelling "Gundolshusen" occurs. When the place came to Dornhan is unknown. In any case, Gundelshausen belonged to Dornhan from the earliest times. Up until 1749, the Dornhan Office or Oberamt only included the town of Dornhan and the hamlet of Gundelshausen. With Dornhan Gundelshausen came to the Oberamt Sulz in 1807, 1808–1810 to the Oberamt Alpirsbach and then again to the Oberamt Sulz.

school

The hamlet used to have a joint teacher with Busenweiler, and school children have been attending school in Dornhan since 1839. In 1856 the sub-community Gundelshausen built its own schoolhouse. In 1935 Gundelshausen was incorporated into Dornhan.

coat of arms

In 2014, the district's own coat of arms was designed. It shows in black the abbot of the Alpirsbach monastery, to whose fief Gundelshausen once belonged. Furthermore, a green Dreiberg can be seen as a symbolic representation of the landscape of the Black Forest. A golden yellow (based on a coat of arms color of the city of Dornhan) “G” for Gundelshausen is shown in this “landscape”. The former local chairman and long-time citizen of Gundelshausen, Hans Pfau, played a key role in developing the coat of arms.
