The village of Igelswies is part of the city of Meßkirch and is located about two kilometers east of the city center on the Ablach river in the Sigmaringen district ( Baden-Württemberg ). The village was a Hohenzollern exclave in Baden .

history

The existence of a Roman manor complex on the "Steinbühl" (on the heights above Igelswies), published in a small brochure by the Bietingen pastor Joseph Anton Eitenbenz, has recently been confirmed by aerial archeology.

The village was first mentioned in 1265 when Count Rudolf von Montfort sold goods . The place was originally in the area of Goldineshuntare , then in Gau Ratoldesbuch and later in the county of Sigmaringen . Between 1270 and 1280, most of the town was bought and donated to the Wald monastery . For example, For example, on June 1, 1274 Konrad Hasenbein gave Abbess Hedwig and the Wald monastery an estate at Igelswies with the approval of his liege lord, Count Heinrich von Veringen .

The monastery remained local ruler until 1806, when ownership passed to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . The owners of the count's rights changed with the owners of the Grafschaft Sigmaringen until the rights were transferred to Austria in 1783 with the patronage of Kloster Wald von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . From 1806 onwards, due to the secularization of the monastery due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss as a Hohenzollern exclave surrounded by Baden territory, it belonged to the princely and from 1850 as part of the Hohenzollernsche Land to the Prussian Oberamt Wald until 1862 , since then to the Oberamt and Sigmaringen district. In the 13th century, counts of Veringen and Lupfen, lords of Falkensteig, Werenwag and Wildeck had property and rights in the village , and in the 14th and 15th centuries, counts of Zimmer and the town church in Meßkirch.

On December 1, 1971, Igelswies was incorporated into the city of Meßkirch at his own request and thus also moved from the Sigmaringen district to the Stockach district at that time. With the district and administrative reform of January 1, 1973, the Stockach district was dissolved. Igelswies came back to the district of Sigmaringen .

Blazon : "In a split shield in front in black a double row of red and silver sashed sloping bar, behind in gold two black hedgehogs one above the other."
Justification of the coat of arms: The Cistercian bar expresses the former affiliation to the Wald monastery. The hedgehogs make the coat of arms " talking ". The coat of arms was proposed by the Sigmaringen State Archives in 1947. It was awarded on November 8, 1947 by the Württemberg-Hohenzollern Ministry of the Interior (No. IV 3012 B No. 1).

Natural monuments

Around 800 meters north of Igelswies, west of the Igelswies – Engelswies forest path , you come across the mostly dried up Annenbach . The Annenbach rises southwest of Engelswies and seeps away after a run of around 2500 meters at the Annenbach infiltration point ( 48 ° 0 ′ 47.1 ″  N , 9 ° 8 ′ 8.6 ″  E ), also known as the " Schluckloch ", a sinkhole with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of two meters in the “hanging bank limestone” of the White Jurassic ζ3 ( Tithonium , ti1). On the steep, eroded sinkhole slope , boulder clay and dark basin clays from the crack cold time are incompletely exposed . At a distance of 1050 meters, the water reappears as a karst spring after 29 hours east-southeast in the Ablachtal valley. Part of the water continues to flow behind the sinkhole only when the water is strong. The administrative district of Tübingen has classified the sinkhole as a geotope worthy of protection with the name "Annenbach infiltration".
