Heimerdingen is a district of Ditzingen . The village is located west of Stuttgart in Baden-Wuerttemberg and heard in the Stuttgart region to the district of Ludwigsburg .

geography

Heimerdingen is located on a hill northwest of the core town of Ditzingen on the western edge of the Strohgau . Neighboring places are Hochdorf an der Enz in the north, Schöckingen in the east, Hemmingen in the northeast, Rutesheim in the south and Weissach in the west. The western boundary of the marker forms the deeply cut valley of the Strudelbach . Here the place is enclosed by a semicircular forest belt. The highest point of the district is 411 m above sea level. NN (Flur Hohwart and Melkegarten), the deepest in the Strudelbachtal at 290 m above sea level. NN.

history

The first signs of settlement on the Heimerdinger mark date from the Neolithic Age. Remains of a Hallstatt burial mound were found on the border to Hemmingen . The archaeological findings up to Roman times are rather sparse. Two important sites have been found from the time of Roman settlement: In the "Knight's Forest" east of the road to Rutesheim, there are the ruins of several Roman buildings, called the "Kirchhöfle", and further west remains of a Roman estate ( villa rustica ) with a courtyard wall, the "Schlössle".

The present village goes back to the time of the Alemannic settlement of the region in the 4th and 5th centuries. In the 6th century Heimerdingen fell under Frankish rule. The oldest known written mention of Heimradingen comes from a document from the Lorsch Codex dated June 2, 798 on the occasion of the donation of 50 yoke of farmland from an Odaccar to the Lorsch monastery . According to the document book of the Alsatian monastery in Weißenburg , written around 870, the monastery in Heimerdingen had six courtyards and the church, a basilica , with the tithe . In the 8th century abbots of the Weissenburg monastery were also Bishop of Speyer. The possession of the monastery also secured the influence of the Speyer bishop on the borders of his diocese, which was divided into archdeaconates and land chapters . Until the Reformation, Heimerdingen belonged to the Land Chapter Grüningen in the Archdiaconate Trinity .

Heimerdingen becomes part of Württemberg

The Protestant Peter and Paul Church from 1777

In addition to the local knights (Lords of Heimerdingen , Höfingen and Nippenburg ), the Counts of Württemberg also tried to gain a foothold in Heimerdingen. The "Urbar from the time of Count Eberhard des Greiner, 1344-1392" gives an insight into Heimerdingen ownership in the middle of the 14th century. This land register of the count contains extensive information on the taxes of the peasants and the income from local rule , serfdom and other taxes from trade and commerce. The income from the administration of the parishes is also recorded here, which always yielded a profit for the government. Only the income from the forests is not recorded here. In 1350 Heimerdingen was half owned by the Count of Württemberg. The source says: Nota diu zway dörfer Hemmingen and Haymertingen are Halbüminer lords and are min lords and vögte lords over it . The fixed income from this amounted to 3 Malter and 2 Simri (approx. 400 liters) of grain as well as two Gülthühner per year. - Overall, a rather modest tax. The local nobility still had the profitable income. Half of the church and its income were sold to the people of Württemberg in 1316 from the possession of the von Hemmingen family and in 1355 together with the patronage of Fritz Sturmfelder. For the year 1381 an ordinary local tax is then also to be paid by the serfs of the place in the amount of 4½ pounds Heller to the counts of Württemberg.

The amount of the income of the local nobility can be seen from the taxes that were collected after the acquisition of these properties by the Counts of Württemberg. By 1462, Württemberg had taken over the entire local rule in Heimerdingen: the count was Vogt and lord of Heimerdingen. After the people of Württemberg had become the undisputed local lords as owners of the Vogtei and the court, the Heimerdinger had to recognize this by paying a special levy or tax, the Vogtkorn. The community had to collect the Vogtkorn and deliver it to Leonberg .

In addition to the information on the taxes, the quantitative importance of which for the people we do not really know, the stock books of the Württemberg rule contain some interesting information about the facilities that the village had and whose income had to be paid. A bakery in which all farmers had to bake their bread and a bathing room are named. A wine press and taxes from the yield of the vineyards suggest that a not inconsiderable amount of wine was grown in Heimerdingen.

The village at the beginning of modern times

On June 18, 1456, the last remainder of the noble property passed into the hands of the Württemberg people. Ludwig von Nippenburg had sold his remaining Heimerdingen property to Count Eberhard im Bart for 750 Rhenish guilders . Heimerdingen was from now on a place in Württemberg in the district of Leonberg . Only the church still had its own rights, even if its main income and the right to appoint a pastor had been with the Count of Württemberg since 1316.

When Duke Ulrich introduced the Reformation in Württemberg in 1534, the Catholic priest Bernhardt Schlack had to leave Heimerdingen. He renounced his benefice and entered the Maulbronn monastery. The income of the parish fell to the sovereign, who in 1535 appointed Bartholomäus Rösch, the first Protestant pastor in Heimerdingen.

In the 16th to 18th centuries Heimerdingen suffered repeatedly from epidemics and war events. In the plague years of 1596/97 there were 125 deaths. The Thirty Years War led to a decrease in the population to less than 200. At the beginning of the war it was between 500 and 550; it has thus more than halved. In addition to hunger and epidemics, fleeing to the fortified towns of Leonberg , Markgröningen and Vaihingen an der Enz was one of the reasons for the dwindling population. In 1635 the plague raged again in the region. Since the church records are missing, the number of plague victims for Heimerdingen cannot be determined. The disease was followed by another famine in 1635. During the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688–1697) the Heimerdinger Markung was temporarily the headquarters of the imperial troops of the Swabian and Bavarian districts . When the entire surrounding area was devastated by French troops during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), Heimerdingen was one of the most severely affected places with a loss of 3,200 guilders.

In the 19th and 20th centuries

Heimerdingen remained a predominantly agricultural community until the middle of the 20th century. In addition to the usual local handicraft businesses (blacksmiths, wagons, coopers; butchers, bakers; shoemakers, tailors), the only important pre-industrial production sites were the Haldenwaldmühle am Strudelbach, a brickworks and, until the beginning of the 20th century, a lime kiln. The connection to the railway network with the construction of the Strohgäubahn (1906) did not bring any sustainable economic stimulation either. A first land consolidation was carried out in the Rutesheimer Zelg in 1906/07 to improve agriculture .

The geological subsoil and the elevated position of the village above the Strudelbachtal often caused water shortages in the past. In 1874 Heimerdingen therefore received the first water pipeline from the Leonberg Regional Office. It connected a spring intake in the Strudelbachtal with an elevated tank in the Gewann Hohwart. In 1907/08 the place was connected to the supply of the Strohgäu water supply group.

The Second World War caused some damage to the village through air raids and artillery fire. 22 buildings were destroyed in a low-flying attack on April 10, 1945. Ten days later Heimerdingen was occupied by French troops without a fight. It was not until October 29, 1945 that a self-governing body met again with the community council. On January 27, 1946, the local council was re-elected. Friedrich Lehmann became the new mayor in March 1946. A major challenge was the admission of expellees and refugees from the east, which from 1945 onwards caused a strong increase in the population. In 1954, Alfred Ehret, who prevailed against the incumbent in the new election, was elected the last mayor of the independent community of Heimerdingen. During his term of office, there were important infrastructural changes, the settlement of businesses in the first larger industrial and commercial area on the eastern edge of the town, the designation of new residential areas and the upgrading of the Heimerdingen Forest.

The end of self-employment

The station building

On October 20, 1971, the mayors of Heimerdingen and Ditzingen, Alfred Ehret and Hans Scholder , signed the "Agreement on the incorporation of the Heimerdingen community into the city of Ditzingen". After the approval of the regional council of North Württemberg on November 16, 1971, the agreement came into effect on December 1, 1971. Heimerdingen became the second district of the city of Ditzingen after the incorporation of Schöckingen. Alfred Ehret became the city's first alderman.

The 1200 year anniversary of the first mention was honored on June 7, 1998 with a festive event. On the occasion of the celebrations, the city of Ditzingen invested in the renovation of the site.

coat of arms

The Heimerdingen local nobility made use of the Waldecker coat of arms. They took over the crossed golden rakes. Today's coat of arms was designed by the graphic artist Gustav Eyb (Stuttgart) in conjunction with the Württemberg State Archives . It shows two diagonally crossed golden rakes in blue, including a spigot. It was accepted by the resolution of the mayor of Heimerdingen on September 7, 1937.

Economy and Infrastructure

Business

There is a larger commercial area to the east of the residential area. The companies located there include Siegle + Epple GmbH & Co KG (ventilation and air-conditioning technology), Hermann Zeller GmbH & Co KG (machining), WIDOS Wilhelm Dommer Söhne GmbH (plastic welding technology), Bleher Folientechnik GmbH , and Piller Entgrattechnik GmbH (mechanical engineering), Gramm Technik GmbH (metal surface finisher) and Kienle GmbH (electronic organs). Another company is the Bayer Fruchtsaft GmbH & Co KG located in Heimerdingen, which emerged from the former fruit processing company Heimerdingen-Stuttgart GmbH . The BayWa AG also maintains a larger office in Heimerdingen.

traffic

State road 1177 runs through Ditzingen with a daily traffic volume of up to 14,800 vehicles and a disproportionately high proportion of heavy goods traffic. To relieve the town center, the construction of a southern bypass is planned, for which the Stuttgart Regional Council granted approval in August 2019.

Heimerdingen has had a train station since 1906 . It is the final destination of the Strohgäubahn , which originally ran from Korntal via Schwieberdingen and Heimerdingen to Weissach. Today it ends in Heimerdingen. In Korntal there is a connection to the Stuttgart S-Bahn. The bus line 620, which connects Heimerdingen with Ditzingen, provides a connection to the S-Bahn and also runs to Weissach during the day. The earlier bus connection between Heimerdingen (Ludwigsburg district) and Rutesheim (Böblingen district) was discontinued because the districts, as the responsible authorities, could not agree on the financing of the offer.

Public facilities

Community center with the seat of the volunteer fire brigade

Heimerdingen has an administrative office for the city of Ditzingen in the former mayor's office (Hindenburgstrasse 4). The community center built after the Second World War houses a branch of the city ​​library and the volunteer fire department .

Forestry Office

Until 1975 Heimerdingen was the seat of an independent state forest office. A traveling forester is mentioned in the church book as early as 1636. In 1928 a new forestry office building was built in Gutenbergstrasse. In the course of the district reform, the seat of the Vaihingen / Enz Forest Office was relocated to Heimerdingen in 1975 and the Forest Office expanded into a "forest base". In 2005, the Vaihingen / Enz forestry department was merged into the forestry department of the Ludwigsburg district.

education

Heimerdingen has its own primary school and two kindergartens (KiTa Wiesenäcker, Kindergarten Neue Straße). Secondary schools are located in Hirschlanden (Theodor Heuglin School) and Ditzingen (Glemsaue School Center, Konrad Kocher School).

religion

A basilica in possession of the Weissenburg monastery has been documented for Heimerdingen as early as the 9th century . In 1534 Duke Ulrich introduced the Reformation. Since then, the Protestant denomination has dominated the place with the Peter and Paul Church , which was built in 1777 instead of a burned down late Gothic predecessor building. A New Apostolic congregation has existed since 1932. The Holy Spirit Church was built for the Catholic residents in 1964.
