Expansion of the area

history

Hippetsweiler was mentioned for the first time in 1209 in a property register of the Weißenau monastery . The village was first mentioned when the Staufer King Philipp von Schwaben sold the bailiwicks of Hippetsweiler and Wald to the von Fronhofen brothers . This undated sale must have taken place at the latest in 1208, the year the king died.

Hippetsweiler is likely to be an expansion settlement from the 8th and 9th centuries AD. The place name ending -weiler provides information that Hippetsweiler was founded in a later phase in terms of settlement history. The population of that time settled mainly in areas that were favorable for settlement. The soils near Hippetsweiler are of poor quality and not very productive for the former agriculture.

The place was originally in the area of Goldineshuntare , then in Gau Ratoldesbuch and later in the county of Sigmaringen . In the late Middle Ages in 1367, Count Eberhard von Nellenburg sold the bailiwick over the town as a fief of the Einsiedeln monastery to Berthold Gremlich, Lord of Zell. The bailiwick was bought by the Gremlich family in 1419 and passed to the town of Pfullendorf as a fief in 1453 and property in 1494 to the Wald monastery . The monastery of Einsiedeln ceded the feudal lordship to the city of Ravensburg in 1470 and from the latter to the Wald monastery in 1494.

In the 17th century there was a devastating fire in Hippetsweiler: triggered by an inadvertently fired rifle shot, eleven houses, four barns and granaries fell victim to a fire. In a fire letter in 1615, the abbess Margarethe von Werdenstein solicited support for the residents of the burned down town.

In 1806 the village, like the entire forest territory, fell to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen through the secularization of the monastery due to the Imperial Deputation and in 1850 to Prussia as the Hohenzollern Land . From 1806 Hippetsweiler belonged to the princely and from 1850 to 1862 to the Prussian Oberamt Wald , since then to the Oberamt and from 1925 to the Sigmaringen district .

On January 1, 1971, the independent municipality of Hippetsweiler was incorporated into the municipality of Wald.

coat of arms

In a split shield in front in black a double row of red and silver slanting bars, behind in gold two flying black ravens one above the other.

The Cistercian bar expresses the former affiliation to the Wald monastery. The Einsiedeln monastery, which has two black ravens in its coat of arms, was the feudal lord until 1470 . They are attributes of Saint Meinrad , who led a hermit life on the site of the later monastery in Einsiedeln. Legend has it that two ravens hitherto fed by Meinrad pursued the saint's murderers and betrayed them.

Buildings

Hippetsweiler Chapel
Hippetsweiler Chapel, interior view
  • The structural condition of the St. Wolfgang Chapel goes back to a chapel mentioned in 1481 and consecrated to Patron Wolfgang in a document on May 23, 1483. It can be assumed that today's chapel is not, as long believed, from the beginning of the 17th century. but that the time for the construction of the chapel is related to the sale of Hippetsweiler to the Wald monastery. However, the sightings of the roof beams made in 2003 using three different carpentry techniques suggest that the building was at least 100 years older, and in 2005, when the beams were examined for age, they indicated the same period. A small saint or sacristan's property belonged to the chapel. In the 18th century, the abbess von Wald awarded this sacred property as head nurse in Hippetsweiler and appointed the sacristan . In 1818 Hippetsweiler became a branch of the Wald parish. The chapel is currently owned by the parish. In 1984 the municipality of Wald would have been ready to buy the chapel. However, the offer was rejected by the church in 1986. The Archbishop's Ordinariate of Freiburg approached the community in June 2003 with the suggestion that the chapel should be transferred to the political community after all. However, with two abstentions, the ordinariate's offer was unanimously rejected. In 2005 volunteers completely restored the chapel inside and out over half a year. During the work, the foundation was drained and re-concreted, the roof covered, the roof beams renovated, new gutters installed, the external plaster removed and the dial removed from the turret. The stage floor and the staircase to the gallery were relocated. In addition, there was a coat of paint, the chairs had to be furnished, the altar and prayer room were given a high gloss. Almost 30 years ago the interior of the St. Wolfgang Chapel was renovated. The figures and portraits that were cleared out at the time were given to the wood carving workshop of the home school Kloster Wald for restoration. Among the saints were Wendelin, Sebastian, a joyful and painful Mother of God Maria, a portrait of the Coronation of Mary as well as the Way of the Cross and another baroque wooden sculpture. This was lost. The eyes directed towards heaven, the lack of a crown of thorns and the golden loincloth identify the figure, carved from linden wood, as Christ of the Resurrection and not as a Man of Sorrows. The wooden sculpture was probably the only one that was only partially restored for unknown reasons and ended up in the attic of the Walder rectory until it was brought to a restoration workshop in Sigmaringen around 13 years later. Years later she came back to the rectory in Wald.
  • A citizens' hall was set up in the former elementary school. The school history of the elementary school goes back to a normal school after 1783.

Regular events

The so-called “Lindenfest”, a village festival, is organized annually by the “Rällekopf” fool's association. The Rällekopf fool's association was founded in the spring of 1936. It emerged from the then bicycle club.
