geography

Geographical location

Gundershofen is located in the upper Schmiechtal , a valley on the southern edge of the Swabian Alb at 616 m above sea level, about halfway between Münsingen (13.4 km) and Schmiechen .

history

An Ebirhardus miles de Gundershoven lived around 1200. In 1263 the place is first mentioned in a document. The place was created earlier, namely in the older expansion period. In the Middle Ages, Gundershofen had its own local nobility, called von Gundershofen . In the 14th century, this family disappears from documentary records.

A manor or a castle in the village of Gundershofen has not yet been proven.

The village became part of the Justingen rule early on and shared its history. In 1751 Gundershofen came to Württemberg with the rule of Justingen . Offenhausen Monastery (municipality of Gomadingen ) acquired a farm in 1368 .

The place had its own parish early on with St. Michael's Church. The Gundershof parish was also responsible for its residents until the Reformation was introduced in Sondernach in 1581. In 1846, Hütten, previously parish near Justingen, was added to the parish of Gundershofen.

The old parsonage and parish barn is said to have been rebuilt in 1747, replacing an even older one. In 1846/48 it had to give way to the new church, which is exactly on its place. In 1905/06 the new brick rectory was built in the middle of the rectory garden opposite the church on the other side of the street.

The old school house originally stood on the cemetery wall. In 1835 a new school building was built on the thoroughfare including the school barn. The school house was demolished when the through-road was expanded in 1990. The school barn with restored half-timbering was preserved.

coat of arms

The municipal coat of arms is divided into two parts. On the left is the coat of arms of the Lords of Gundershofen ; on the right a mill wheel as a symbol for the three mills of Springens and the Bannmühle zu Gundershofen.

Religions

The Catholic residents of Gundershofen were parish early on in the Roman Catholic parish of St. Michael zu Gundershofen. In 1825 all 253 residents were Catholic; In 1910, 218 of the 240 inhabitants, including the hamlet of Springen, were Catholic and 22 Protestant. The Protestant residents were parish in Mehrstetten .

Incorporations

The community of Gundershofen was part of the imperial rule of Justingen until 1751 , which was acquired by Duke Carl Eugen von Württemberg in the same year . In 1807 the place became part of the regional authority of the Ehingen district, since 1809 it belonged to the regional authority of Münsingen and from 1938 to the district of Münsingen . Since the community reform in 1975, Gundershofen has been a sub-community of the town of Schelklingen in the Alb-Donau district .

Part of Gundershofen

The former Mühlenweiler Springen is located on the upper reaches of the Schmiech and at the Schmiech origin. Jumping originally only consisted of three mills. A mill near Springen was first mentioned in the Habsburg land register around 1300 . There is no doubt that the Springen mill location is likely to be older in the upper reaches due to the excellent location and the heavy filling of the Schmiech. In any case, there were three mills in the late 16th century, although the date when the individual mills were built cannot yet be specified.

  • The upper mill located at the start of the water, called the upper mill in 1576 and the upper customer grinding mill in 1782 , was the property and fief of the Justingen lordship. The mill was in operation until the 19th century; The dilapidated mill facilities can still be seen behind the main building. In 1782 the mill had two grinding courses and one tanning course. The handsome and large two-story building has been preserved and is now used as a farm.
  • The middle mill, called the Magolsheimer Mühle in 1576 , was tenable to Magolsheim, belonged to the ducal winery Münsingen in 1782, but was in the judicial district of Justingen. The buildings have been preserved to this day. The mill had two grinding stages and one tanning stage. You can still see the outbuildings such as the Scheuer, Wagenschopf, cellar house and oven.
  • The lower mill, called the Gundelfing Mill in 1576 , called the Gundelfingische or Landseeische Mühl in 1782 , belonged to the House of Hohengundelfingen with property and fief, but Justingen had jurisdiction. The mill was smaller than the other two and in 1782 consisted of a one-story house with two grinding aisles and a tanning gallery. In 1831 this mill was replaced by a Söldenhaus when it died out.

Of these mills, the upper and middle mills have been preserved in the existing building; however, the mill was broken out.

Population development

In the late Middle Ages, Gundershofen was smaller than the village of Justingen with less than 200 inhabitants, about the same size as Ingstetten, but larger than Hütten. On December 31, 2008, Gundershofen had 115 inhabitants.
