history

Holzheim was first mentioned in a document in 1143, but it is assumed that the settlement must have come about much earlier at the time of the Alemannic conquest.
In 1463 the St. Bernhard Church was first mentioned in writing as a chapel.
In the parish report of the year 1827, a largely intact rural village community of 610 inhabitants, all of whom except for one Catholic are Protestant denominations, is described.
On May 12, 1838, due to the ongoing financial misery in the small neighboring community of St. Gotthardt, the two communities were merged to form the entire community of Holzheim.
On April 1, 1939, Holzheim was incorporated into Göppingen.
Manzen was founded in 1953 and Ursenwang in 1962. Both districts were planned as purely residential areas from the start.

Residents

In January 2005 there were around 3,160 inhabitants in Alt-Holzheim, around 500 in St. Gotthardt, around 1910 in Manzen and over 2,100 in Ursenwang.

The two Protestant parishes of Holzheim and St. Gotthardt and the former Protestant parish of Manzen-Ursenwang , since 2017 Manzen-Ursenwang-Schlat , belong to the church district of Göppingen . Since the Reformation, the Holzheim parish has also looked after the parishioners in St. Gotthardt , and until 1863 also those in Kleineislingen , the Eislingen district south of the Fils.

Churches

Evangelical St. Bernhard Church in Holzheim

In church terms, Holzheim initially belonged to the Oberhofenkirche . In 1555 a separate parish was established together with St. Gotthardt. A St. Bernhard chapel was mentioned in Holzheim as early as 1463. It was extended to the late Gothic parish church. This has a cross-vaulted choir. The nave was extended to the north and west in 1671 and provided with a two-sided gallery. In 1878 the church was renovated, with a western ridge turret. In 1977 the glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler designed the four Gothic choir windows with the motifs of the birth and baptism of Jesus ; Suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus ; Doubt and commissioning of the disciples, ascension of Jesus ; the gospel spreads and changes people . The artist Ingrid Seddig created the metal baptismal font with the Christ monogram in 1967 . The north extension and the exterior renovation was carried out in 1994 by the architect Heinz Bauer from Ebersbach, and the architect Daniel Keller from Süßen in 2005, the interior renovation and the design of the altar area. In 2017 the new parish hall was inaugurated next to the church. The parish of Holzheim has been looking after the parish of St. Gotthardt since the Reformation,

Evangelical Church of St. Gotthardt

Ecclesiastically, St. Gotthardt initially belonged to the Oberhofenkirche . In 1555 St. Gotthardt became a separate parish together with Holzheim. The chapel in St. Gotthardt, provided with a chaplaincy in 1479, was probably a pilgrimage church, which was built around 1350 by Seifried von Zillenhardt, a knight at the nearby Zillenhart Castle , who traveled to Tuscany in mercenary services , as part of the Gotthardt worship at that time and the thereafter the only place with this name north of the Alps and outside of northern Italy and Austria gave its name. The smaller of the two bells dates from this time. A remnant of a fresco (flagellation of Jesus) and floor tiles from 1500 were exposed during the church renovation in 1993. In 1973, the glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler designed the round window in the altar wall with the Easter motif of the three women at the empty Christ tomb. The little church is the second oldest building in today's Göppingen after the Romanesque Protestant collegiate church in Faurndau . Since the Reformation the parish of St. Gotthardt has been looked after by the Holzheim parish. The claim that St. Gotthardt was at times its own parish is based on a misinterpretation of a note from 1907. In 1987, a farmhouse next to the church was inaugurated as a parish house after extensive renovation .

Evangelical Johanneskirche Manzen

Manzen was created as a new district from 1952, Ursenwang from 1961 on the Holzheim area of ​​the city of Göppingen. The Protestant residents of these districts therefore initially belonged to the parish of Holzheim, and in 1954 to its St. Gotthardt branch parish. In 1969 Manzen-Ursenwang was elevated to an independent parish. In 1975 a parish of its own was established and the community center with Johanneskirche was built in Manzen by architect Jan Beng Oei from Fellbach. The non-representational concrete glass windows were created by the artist Annerose Schmidt-Weber from Freudenstadt-Christophstal. In 1990 a free-standing bell tower was added to the community center. Next to it are staff apartments and the rectory.
