history
Counts of Zollern
In a document from 1303, when Udelhild, the widow of Count Friedrich von Zollern , and her son Friedrich pledged the rule of Mühlheim to Bishop Heinrich and the cathedral chapter of Constance , the individual components of the rule are listed for the first time:
- Bronnen Castle
- City and festivals Mühlheim, the old city (in the valley) with the mills and the church there
- Bailiwick (since 1253) over the Beuron monastery and the people and goods belonging to it
When the Zollern inheritance was divided, the lordships of Schalksburg and Mühlheim were separated from the core property. The rule of Mühlheim was sold to Conrad von Weitingen in 1391 by Count Friedrich V, called Mülli , the last count of the Schalksburg line .
Lords of Enzberg
In 1409 Friedrich and Engelhard von Enzberg acquired the rule of Mühlheim and made it their new headquarters.
Enzberg's rule was divided in 1470 after the death of Frederick VII. Bronnen Castle, the rear castle in Mühlheim, half of the city of Mühlheim, the villages of Böttingen , Königsheim , Buchheim , Worndorf and Irndorf went to Hans I. The front castle in Mühlheim, the other half of the city of Mühlheim, the villages of Nendingen , Mahlstetten and Stetten received Friedrich VIII.
In 1478 Hans I. von Enzberg bought back most of the Enzberg inheritance from his brother. However, the Enzberg holdings were divided again in 1509. Bronnen, half of Mühlheim, Buchheim, Worndorf and Nendingen went to Friedrich X., Hans Rudolf received the other half of Mühlheim with Böttingen, Mahlstetten, Königsheim and Stetten. During the conquest of Milan in 1515, Hans Rudolf fought against Emperor Maximilian on the side of the French king . After his defeat Maximilian withdrew part of the Enzberg property in favor of Austria . Friedrich von Enzberg zu Mühlheim and Bronnen received his brother's part after an objection.
The outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and the wars that followed brought the end of Mühlheim's rule. With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the previous episcopal-Constance fiefdom passed to the Duchy of Württemberg .
Mühlheim and the previously associated places were assigned to the Württemberg upper tax collector Rottweil . On December 18, 1805, troops from Baden occupied Mühlheim, because Baden claimed feudal sovereignty over the old rule of Mühlheim. This interlude only lasted until January 4, 1806, because the dispute was settled by a contract between Württemberg and Baden. The rule of Mühlheim, except for Buchheim, fell to the newly established Kingdom of Württemberg . The rule of Mühlheim was converted into a patrimonial office, i. H. the baron von Enzberg still had some magisterial rights such as B. the jurisdiction. By royal rescript of May 10, 1809, the patrimonial office was revoked.
The places Mühlheim, Stetten, Nendingen and Irndorf were subordinated to the Oberamt Tuttlingen . The places Böttingen, Königsheim and Mahlstetten came to the Oberamt Spaichingen and Buchheim to the Baden District Office Stockach .
