history

Until the 19th century

The history of the settlement goes back to the Neolithic period. Celts settled between 550 and 50 BC. Around 100 AD Romans settled in the Holzgerlingen area. Alamanni ousted the Romans around 300 AD.

The first documentary mention of Holzgerlingen can be traced back to 1007 in a deed of donation from King Heinrich II to the diocese of Bamberg . Between 1100 and 1400 Holzgerlingen was owned by the Count Palatine of Tübingen . In 1348 the place was sold to the House of Württemberg .

The Peasants' War came to a bloody end in the region in 1525 with the Battle of Böblingen. During the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War , Wallenstein's troops were billeted in 1627 . In 1635 the plague broke out.

At the time the War of the Polish Succession was raging in Europe , Russian troops marching against France were quartered in Holzgerlingen in 1735. The outbreak of the Austrian War of Succession brought Trenck the Pandur and some of his journeymen to Holzgerlingen, where they stayed overnight in 1743.

In 1805 Napoleonic troops invaded and forced the residents of Holzgerlingen to do his own service ; however, they escaped and returned to their families. In contrast, the fifteen Holzgerlingers who, in 1812, forced by the alliance between King Frederick I of Württemberg and Napoleon I to take part in his Russian campaign, never returned to their homeland.

Holzgerlingen has always been part of the Böblingen office. Even with the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century, the place remained assigned to the Oberamt Böblingen .

In 1850 Holzgerlingen had Protestant and 14 Catholic residents in 1824, who lived and worked in 359 main and 54 auxiliary buildings. In 1865 the first post office was set up in the village. In 1866, Holzgerlinger men went into the field on the side of Austria against Prussia and immediately afterwards in 1870/71 on the side of the former enemy Prussia against Napoleon III. to war . Two of the men died in the battles.

20th century

In 1907 Holzgerlingen was connected to the power grid. When the Schönbuchbahn was built in 1910, it was connected to the Württemberg railway network . 106 Holzgerlingers never returned from the First World War in 1918. During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Holzgerlingen came to the Böblingen district in 1938 . In 1943 large-scale bombs fell on Holzgerlingen, which resulted in the destruction of 64 buildings, and in 1945, towards the end of the war, French occupation troops burned down the old town hall. The Second World War cost a total of 291 Holzgerlingern lives. In 1945, Holzgerlingen came into the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. Reconstruction began immediately after the war. In 1950 the town hall was rebuilt. Not least because of the proximity to Sindelfingen , Böblingen and Stuttgart , Holzgerlingen was able to develop in the following years from a former craft and farming village into a respectable cultural center in the Schönbuch clearing. On April 1, 1993, Holzgerlingen was granted city rights.

Domain Schaichhof

The farm, which was once owned by the Württemberg reformer Johannes Brenz in the 16th century , was sold in 1725 by a community of heirs from Bücheli or Büchelin for 4,000 guilders to the princely chamber factor and trader Johann Heinrich Eysenbach. Eisenbach had a building built on the courtyard. In April 1824 the Hofdomänenkammer bought the court from Dr. Leopold Klotz from Tübingen for 38,000 guilders (purchase contract of April 23, 1824). She leased the farm to the following tenants:

  • Georg Diegel, Mähringen (1824–1842)
  • Johann Gottlieb and Christoph Friedrich Geyer, Oberesslingen (1842–1852)
  • Johann Gottlieb Geyer (1852–1860)
  • Sugar factory Böblingen AG (1860–1908)
  • Wilhelm Driver, Neunthausen Oberamt Sulz (1908–1945)
  • Max Driver (1945–1959)
  • Adolf Weiland (1959–1982)
  • Hans Adolf Weiland (1982–1990)

During the lease of the Böblingen sugar factory, the domain was rather poorly managed. It was only the driver family who fundamentally improved the estate through drainage and progressive cultivation. Despite the high location, the Schaichhof was run as a model business. In spring 1991 a golf course was opened at the Schaichhof.

Religions

The Reformation was introduced in Holzgerlingen in 1534. The place has been evangelical since then . 41.83% of the population are Protestant, 22.3% Catholic and 1.4% belong to another religious community. The remaining 34.47% of the residents are registered with the citizens' office without any indication of religion.

Economy and Infrastructure

Schönbuchbahn

traffic

In 1910 the place was connected to the railway network. In 1965, scheduled passenger traffic on the route was discontinued. After years of shutdown, the Schönbuchbahn was put back into operation in December 1996 . Three stops in Holzgerlingen (north, train station and Buch) connect the city to the Stuttgart S-Bahn network via Böblingen .

The federal highway 464 (Renningen– Reutlingen ) connects Holzgerlingen with the national road network. As early as 1934, the city received a bypass. As a result, the inner city area was largely spared from through traffic to this day. The B 464 is now partially developed as a four-lane expressway.

Established businesses

The oldest company in town is the ribbon weaving mill Gottlieb Binder , which has been located in the area since 1798 . Many traditional medium-sized companies, such as B. Elektro-Breitling GmbH, like Hänssler Verlag and other smaller companies, are among the local employers. The plant manufacturer Eisenmann is currently the largest employer . Because of the local proximity to the Mercedes location in Sindelfingen , suppliers with branches or sales offices have set up shop.

Many Holzgerlingers are employed in nearby Sindelfingen and Böblingen in well-known and globally active large companies such as Daimler , IBM , Philips , Hewlett-Packard or Keysight Technologies .
