geography
Geographical location
Ühlingen-Birkendorf is located on the southern slope of the Black Forest between 450 and 1000 meters above sea level, about 15 km from the district town of Waldshut-Tiengen . The municipality extends over the four valleys of the Schwarza in the west via the Mettma and the Schlucht to the Steina in the east (extension north-south direction 10 km, west-east direction 15 km) and is therefore a typical area municipality.
Neighboring communities
The community borders in the north on Bonndorf in the Black Forest , in the east on the city of Stühlingen and Eggingen , in the south on Wutöschingen and Waldshut-Tiengen and in the west on Weilheim , Höchenschwand and Grafenhausen .
Community structure
The municipality of Ühlingen-Birkendorf consists of the eight districts Berau , Birkendorf, Brenden , Hürrlingen, Obermettingen, Riedern am Wald , Ühlingen and Untermettingen with a total of 43 villages, hamlets, Zinken, farms and houses.
The districts are spatially identical to the earlier communities of the same name, their official name is in the form "Ühlingen-Birkendorf, district ...". The districts form both residential districts and localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code, each with its own local council and mayor as its chairman.
The Bürgeln and Heidentor desert areas are in the Berau district . The village of Vogelsang has risen up in Birkendorf with Vogelsang, and the Rombach desert lies in the Birkendorf district. In the Untermettingen district is the unlocated but assumed deserted Rudolfsberg, and the Hofwies town, which is perhaps identical to Endermettingen, is also located in the district.
history
Birkendorf
The Lords of Birkendorf probably built Birkendorf Castle in the 12th century . In 1530, Birkendorf came together with Grafenhausen in exchange for Beggingen and Schleitheim from the city of Schaffhausen to the Landgraviate of Stühlingen .
Berau
The district of Berau is located on a southern plateau above the Schlucht valley . Like Birkendorf, this district probably goes back to a castle from the 12th century. This Berauerhorn Castle was probably built by the Lords of Berau.
At the time of St. Blasian Abbot Rustans (1108–1125), as Abbot Caspar I writes in his chronicle, the knight Gottfried von Berau lived on the Berauer Berg. He gave all his possessions to the monastery of St. Blasien . That happened around 1110. From 1240 to 1247 Arnold von Berau was abbot in St. Blasien. The knights of Berau had three black bear heads in their coat of arms.
The convent of St. Blasien was then moved to Berau (1110) and remained there for seven centuries. The first monastery church of St. Nikolaus was consecrated on July 4th 1117 by the Bishop of Trier. The Berau Monastery (and the extended church) St. Nikolaus was inaugurated in 1147 by Bishop Hermann von Konstanz. The Berau monastery received its first papal confirmations in 1120 by Calixt II , in 1140 by Innocent II, in 1157 by Hadrian IV , and in 1178 by Alexander III. In 1126 it was confirmed by King Lothar. The monastery experienced its heyday under the abbots Berthold I and Günther von St.Blasien. In 1157 belong the church of Berau and Neukirch, and since 1179 the church of Schwerzen zu Berau. Noble ladies took the veil among others widow Ita von Kaltenbach, whose husband Werner von Kaltenbach founded the provost office Bürgeln , and Luitgard von Bogen . Originally the Vogtrecht belonged to the Lords of Eschenbach. Agnes von Eschenbach was married to Count Mangold von Nellenburg , he sold the Vogtrecht for 135 marks silver in 1448 to the family in the town of Schaffhausen . In 1478 St. Blasien acquired all rights. After the division of the empire of Charlemagne into the Alpgau, Berau belonged to the Landgraviate of Stühlingen ( Counts of Lupfen ). In 1612 Abbot Martin I of St. Blasien acquired the rule from Imperial Hereditary Marshal Maximilian von Pappenheim .
After the destruction of Gutenburg Castle in 1640, Berau was subordinated to the Obervogtei Gurtweil (but the rule was St. Blasien). The monastery burned down several times, but was renewed again and again through donations from the surrounding nobility, such as the Krenkingen , the Im Thurn , the von Schellenberg , the von Grießen (Klettgau) , the von Lupfen and von Reischach , benefactors of the monastery, that was not was allowed to accommodate more than 40 nuns (1370).
Riedern am Wald
King Konrad III confirmed this in a royal document, which is now kept in the Thurgau State Archives . on January 7, 1152 that a noble and free man named Marcwardus had founded a cella in Tiezelenheim , today's Detzeln . The brothers should live according to the rule of Saint Augustine . The Lords of Krenkingen were appointed as guardians . The hermitage was probably located near today's Klausenhof. From 1166 the hermitage was no longer mentioned, but the former location remained in the possession of the monastery until it was closed.
This confirms the founding of the later Augustinian canons - St. Leodegar Monastery in Riedern am Wald, but this did not take place in Riedern am Wald , but in "Tezzilnheim" today Detzeln, a district of Waldshut-Tiengen. The cell may initially have only comprised a small enclosure and the chapel. The monastery was under the protection of the Krenkinger, the first abbot is named 14 years after it was founded: Abbot Gerlo von Detzeln.
In 1214, in a document from Pope Innocent III. first mentioned the monastery Riedern am Wald . In 1639 the Vogteirecht came from the Lupfen to the Pappenheim. This was followed by the Prince of Fürstenberg .
The monastery burned down on July 16, 1740 around 1 p.m. After that, the reconstruction took place with the help of the Augustinian canons monastery Kreuzlingen , under the abbot Johann Baptist Dannegger, which from then on also had the legal say. On June 30, 1749, the newly built building was inaugurated by the Auxiliary Bishop of Constance and Titular Bishop of Domitiopolis , Count Franz Carl Joseph Fugger . The monastery of St. Leodegar was in Swiss hands through the monastery in Kreuzlingen and could therefore not be closed in 1803, but in 1812 it was decided to sell it to private individuals. The monastery building and the church have recently been renovated.
At the same time there was also a small women's monastery called the lower provost, built in 1670, it was closed in 1803.

The Ühlingen district celebrated its 1200th anniversary in 2016.
