history

The place name (Middle High German Wile , New High German Weil ) was extended to differentiate it from other places in the area called Weil such as Weil im Dorf or Weil im Schönbuch with the addition of “the city”. Since place names are used much more often in the dative than in the nominative, for example "in Weil, der Stadt", the dative form prevailed, initially in the form Weilerstatt, based on the dialect (ze Wil 'er Statt), and finally in the middle of 19th century Because the city was established as the city name. As an adjective derived from the city name, Weil der Städter is usually used; In the neighboring towns there are both “ Weil der Städtter ” and “ Weilderstädter ” streets.

middle Ages

The later city of Weil der Stadt emerged as a village settlement probably in the 6th century - probably on the site of a Roman country estate (= villa rustica) - and was given the name Wila (Wile), which later became Weil. The first documentary mention was made in 1075 in a document from King Henry IV.

Between 1223 and 1242, the village of Weil, which had previously been owned by the Counts of Calw and the Hirsau monastery , was granted city rights by Emperor Friedrich II . Weil became an imperial city as early as 1275 , the exact year is unknown.

In 1373 Weil was granted jurisdiction and customs law by Emperor Charles IV. In 1489 the city gained a permanent seat in the Reichstag , which represents the imperial estates . During the second half of the 15th century it was under Baden influence.

Early modern times to the mediatization of the imperial city

The Reformation found supporters in Weil der Stadt since 1522. The Augustinian monastery therefore almost died out; the convent of the Franciscan Sisters died. By 1552, almost half of the citizens had become Protestant, including the family of the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who was born in Weil der Stadt. The Counter-Reformation that began in 1590 by the Emperor and the Bishops of Speyer led, after decades of disputes, to the victory of the Catholic party in 1628, so that Weil der Stadt became a Catholic enclave in the area surrounding the Lutheran Duchy of Württemberg. During the time of the witch hunts between 1615 and 1629, 38 people were accused, tortured and burned in witch trials with a population of 200 families at that time .

Shortly before the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648, Weil's town was sacked and set on fire by French troops, which destroyed large parts of the old town. The city fire of 1648, along with the battle of Döffingen in 1388, is considered the most ominous event in the city's history.

Württemberg time

In 1803, because of the mediatization of the city, it lost its imperial freedom and fell to Württemberg . Initially, the city was the seat of its own Württemberg staff office. When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806 , Weil der Stadt was assigned to the Oberamt Leonberg in 1808 . In 1869 the city was connected to the Württemberg railway network by the Black Forest Railway ( Stuttgart - Calw ) . During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Weil became part of the Leonberg district in 1938 .

post war period

In 1945 the city fell into the American zone of occupation and then belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In 1973 the district reform took place in Baden-Württemberg , when the city became part of the Böblingen district.

In 1996, the Baden-Württemberg Home Days took place in Weil der Stadt .

Districts

Merklingen

Coat of arms Weil der Stadt-Merklingen.png

Merklingen was first mentioned in 1075 as "Marchilingen" in a deed of ownership from the Hirsau monastery. The owners of the place changed several times. After the Counts of Calw, Merklingen passed to the Counts of Eberstein and Zweibrücken around 1260. In 1276 it came to the Rhineland Count Palatine Ludwig as a fief. In 1296 the Herrenalb monastery acquired court, bailiff and lower jurisdiction and in 1469 it was owned by the whole town. In 1496, Duke Eberhard von Württemberg forced the monastery subjects, including the Merklingen Oberamt, to recognize the Württemberg sovereign.

Hausen

The area around Hausen an der Würm was probably populated as early as 600 to 700 AD. The earliest mention of Hausen was only made in 1327 in a document from the Herrenalb monastery. In 1420 two nephews of the last Lord von Hausen, who died in 1405, renounced their rights in the village. In 1432 Hausen went to Hans von Steinegg and in 1439/40 to the Herrenalb monastery. After the rule of the monastery collapsed in the Thirty Years War , Hausen fell to the Duke of Württemberg.

Coat of arms Muenklingen.png

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1075 as "Munchelingen". Hirsau Monastery had already acquired goods here in the 9th century. The local nobility, the lords of Malmsheim, therefore had to share their property with the Hirsau monastery and later also with the Herrenalb monastery. When the lords of Weil inherited parts of the place in 1385, Württemberg was already entitled to the share of the Herrenalb monastery, and from 1424–1448 it also acquired their feudal rights. In 1500 Münklingen finally became part of Württemberg.

Schafhausen

Schafhausen, incorporated in 1973
Coat of arms Schafhausen.jpg

Schafhausen was founded around the year 700, but was first mentioned in 1272 as "Scafhusen". The first noble gentlemen were the Counts of Calw alongside the Lords of Beutelspach. Around 1110 Conrad von Beutelspach gave away some of his goods to the Hirsau Monastery, which expanded its property in the following centuries. In 1468 the whole place finally belonged to the monastery. Since the Counts of Württemberg had the bailiff's rights over the Hirsau monastery, the bailiff of Böblingen was also the guardian of the monastery of Schafhausen.

After the Reformation had found numerous followers in Weil der Stadt in the course of the 16th century, the Counter-Reformation began in 1590 , which led to the victory of Catholicism in 1628, so that the imperial city became a Catholic island in the midst of the Evangelical-influenced Württemberg region.

Museums

Buildings

There are historical buildings, fountains and sculptures in all five districts of the city.

The old town of Weil der Stadt consists of three parts. In the lower area on the left bank of the Würm, the Renninger suburb , which dates back to the 14th century , there are medieval and early modern craftsmen's houses and shops as well as the hospital with the hospital chapel and its late Gothic figure altar of the Holy Tribe of Mary (around 1480), the baroque apostle - and the Altar of the Holy Helper (both around 1750) and the Arma Christ fresco (from the 14th century, rediscovered in 1977). The partially accessible city ​​wall with four defense towers - the stork tower is particularly beautiful  - and the Königstor almost completely surrounds the Renninger suburb, which was largely spared by the city fire in 1648. The focal point is the cattle market with a fountain and cinema center (Badtorstrasse). On the right bank of the Würm is the city cemetery with the St. Michael chapel (oldest preserved tombstone from 1506).

The historic city center , located on a hilltop - the nucleus of the former imperial city and inhabited since the 6th century - is immediately to the west. Particularly worth seeing are the picturesque Stuttgarter Straße and the market square with the town hall from the Renaissance period (1582), the old town hall, the Speidel house, the city museum, the Kepler museum and the Kepler monument (1870 by August von Kreling ), which is in a central location reminds of the city's greatest son, the astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler . The Narrenbrunnen on Speidelsberg refers to the carnival tradition, and the former Augustinian monastery (1294–1803) with the Marienbrunnen and the dolphin fountain are well worth a visit. The most important architectural monument of Weil der Stadt rises above the city center, the Catholic city ​​church of St. Peter and Paul , built from the 15th century as the successor to a Romanesque basilica , a late Gothic hall building made of red sandstone typical of the region with three towers, mannerist sacraments (1611), baroque high altar ( 1700), a magnificent pulpit (1742) and remarkable sacred art of the 20th century. The north-western end of the old town is the Holy Cross Chapel (1739), the western part is another section of the city wall with the Judentor (1534). Outside the historic city walls is the neo-Gothic Protestant Brenz Church (1889), named to honor of Weil der Stadt Württemberg reformer Johannes Brenz .

To the south is the smallest and youngest part of the old town, the Furter suburb on the Talackerbach , with the Wendelinskapelle (15th century) used as a gallery and event location and the Floriansbrunnen.

There are also interesting monuments in the city districts. In Merklingen the Remigius Church and the early Gothic stone house stand in the middle of a fortified church surrounded by moats and a bridge gate. The Cyriakus Church in Schafhausen has a valuable rococo pulpit, in the highest district of Münklingen the Jakobsbrunnen, a historical resting place on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, has been preserved. The old five-arch red sandstone bridge over the Würm can be viewed in Hausen.

Kepler Society

The Kepler Society e. V. is an association that is committed to Johannes Kepler's legacy and wants to promote scientific education. The association maintains the Kepler museum, the Kepler archive in the city archive and the Johannes Kepler observatory on the roof of the Johannes Kepler high school. He conducts public relations work by offering public lectures, awarding the Kepler Prize in Kepler high schools in the European Union and supervising a youth group. The universities of Tübingen and Stuttgart are cooperation partners of the Kepler Society.

On June 2, 2012, Weil opened a planetary path named after Johannes Kepler in cooperation with the association . The planet path runs between Weil der Stadt and the suburb of Mühlhausen belonging to the neighboring municipality of Tiefenbronn.

Sports

The sports association (Spvgg) Weil der Stadt is the local sports association. It was founded in 1861 and has more than 1900 members. The Spvgg has the following departments: popular sports, fistball, soccer, athletics, swimming, tennis, table tennis and gymnastics.

Regular events

Mardi Gras

In Weil der Stadt, the Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht (Fasnet) is celebrated every year before Ash Wednesday . The carnival tradition, which dates back to the Middle Ages, was first revived in 1656 when the magistrate allowed carnival games, music and dancing. After a ban on "Mummerey" in the 18th century, the fooling industry flourished again at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1863 the first Carnival parade was held in 1930, the first Narrensprung the hamlet Narrenzunft "AHA". Nowadays, over 1000 mask wearers from all over the region take part in the carnival parade organized by the fool's guild every year on  Shrove Sunday . Visitor numbers between 10,000 and 40,000 are counted.

Since the city belonged to the diocese of Speyer until 1821 and is located near the northern border of the Swabian dialect area, the hamlet of Fasnet, which is in the Swabian-Alemannic tradition, also shows some influences from the form of the Rhenish carnival, which is native to the Palatinate, - similar to the carnival in Neuhausen auf den Fildern , which was also a Catholic enclave belonging to Speyer in the Protestant Württemberg for centuries .
