History of the districts

Kenzingen

Aerial view of Kenzingen

Kenzingen is mentioned for the first time in 772 in the Lorsch Codex :

In God's name I, Eckehart, want to do a good work for the healing of my soul.
It should benefit the holy martyr 'N ( Nazarius ), whose body rests in the Lorsch monastery, which is looked after by the venerable abbot Gundeland. I am giving everything that I have owned so far in pago Brisgowe (in Breisgau), in Kencinger marca (in the Kenzingen district n. Freiburg), namely horse riding, serfs, forests, meadows, vineyards, houses, farm buildings and water resources. Everything should be eternal property. Legally binding manufacturing.
Done in monasterio \ auns \ i (amensi = in the Lorsch monastery) on December 18th in the 5th year (772) of King Charles.

The monastery Lorsch was during this period extensive property in the northern Breisgau.

In the 10th century, the kings Karl the Fat and Otto the Great donated properties in Kenzingen to the Andlau Abbey and the Swiss Abbey of Einsiedeln .

By 1200 at the latest, the place came under the rule of the Lords of Üsenberg , in 1249 Rudolf II von Üsenberg granted Kenzingen town rights . After the Kenzing line of the Üsenberg family died out, the margraves of Hachberg became new local lords in 1354. After the imperial ban was imposed on Margrave Heinrich IV , Kenzingen fell to Austria in 1359 and belonged there to the region of Upper Austria . For a short time the city is a free imperial city ​​from 1415 to 1427 , but then falls back into Habsburg possession. As a result of the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss , Kenzingen fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806 .

Bombach

Bombach

Bombach was first mentioned in a document in 1144. The village then belonged to the St. Trudbert monastery in the Münstertal. In the 13th century the place fell to the lords of the Kirnburg . Later he came to the House of Habsburg and remained a Habsburg until 1805. On December 1, 1971, Bombach was incorporated into Kenzingen. With around 650 inhabitants, Bombach is the smallest district in Kenzingen. With its wine festival on the 1st weekend in August on the Hummelberg, which has been held since 1978, the place has become known beyond the region.

Hecklingen

Hecklingen from the southeast
Hecklingen

Hecklingen was first mentioned in a document in 1147, although Celtic tribes were probably already settled here, as the place at the beginning of the Freiburg Bay was conveniently located on old trade routes. After the Roman era, Hecklingen was an Alemannic settlement in the 6th century, as the name shows, which must have been coined during this time. Lichteneck Castle , located above Hecklingen, was built in the 13th century.

The Zähringer were the lords of the place in the 12th century, followed by the Counts of Freiburg and the Lords of Üsenberg. By marriage, the place fell into the possession of the Count Palatine of Tübingen . In 1774 the family of Count Rudolf von Hennin settled in the village, and they also built the palace below the castle. Hecklingen has belonged to the Grand Duchy of Baden since 1805 . On January 1, 1974, Hecklingen was incorporated into Kenzingen.

Nordweil

Nordweil

The first written mention of the place Nordweil took place in 1095. At that time the place belonged to the Alpirsbach monastery and was ruled on site by the Lords of Üsenberg. After the dissolution of the monastery during the Reformation, ownership passed to the Duchy of Württemberg , and since 1805 Nordweil belonged to the Grand Duchy of Baden . On December 1, 1971, Nordweil was incorporated into Kenzingen.
