history

Franconian royal court

The district of Ilsfeld has been inhabited almost continuously since the Middle and Neolithic. In the course of the Franconian conquest of the land , a Franconian royal court was created in this old settlement area, in which five very old surrounding Alemannic settlements were dissolved and which formed the origin of the present-day place. On the Gendach an der Schozach near Ilsfeld there was once a small hilltop castle, of which there are no more remains. From the Königshof in Ilsfeld, new settlements emerged in the area, including Westheim ( Neckarwestheim ), Ostheim ( Auenstein ) and Talheim , which from Ilsfeld have names related to direction or terrain and are recognizable as Franconian settlements due to the final syllable -heim .

Ilsfeld itself was mentioned for the first time in 1102 in a deed of donation from Emperor Heinrich IV . Heinrich donated an estate in Ilisvelt to the diocese of Speyer . The name of the place was probably once the name of the entire district, the name of the Schozach , probably once called Ils , in its upper reaches could have been. In 1157 Ilsfeld came after threats from King Konrad III. back into the possession of the Staufer . In the late 12th and 13th centuries a local nobility appeared, the lords of Ilsfeld, who were the ministerials of the margraves of Baden , and to whom or whose relatives the building of a castle on the nearby Wunnenstein goes back.

Württemberg border town

In 1368 Ilsfeld came to Württemberg and was assigned to the Obervogtei in Lauffen am Neckar by 1460 at the latest . Ilsfeld was württembergischer border town, because in the north now for marginalized Teutonic Order scoring denunciation Talheim and various other dominions it as the imperial city of Heilbronn scoring Flein , the Palatine rule Stettenfels , the county Lowenstein and other territories on. During the war of the Württemberg Duke Ulrich the much-loved against 30 Swabian imperial cities, there was an attack by Heilbronn on Ilsfeld in 1450, in which the place was devastated, 40 people were killed and 300 head of cattle were stolen.

From 1456, the Württemberg Landgraben ran north of Ilsfeld as a border fortification with the Landturm near the hamlet of Wüstenhausen, which is part of Ilsfeld . In 1460 the Battle of Wüstenhausen took place there, in which Duke Ulrich defeated the troops of Count Palatine Friedrich the Victorious . The military conflicts of the 15th century were probably the reason for the construction of the high village wall around Ilsfeld, which was reinforced with ten towers.

Ilsfeld suffered greatly in the wars of the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1519 the place was quarters for the army of Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria . In the Thirty Years' War the plague broke out in 1626 and 1634, the place was also the quarters of imperial troops in 1638/39, and in 1645 there was looting by the French, Hesse and Weimar. During the war, the population fell from around 1200 to barely more than 100, and for years after the end of the war most of the vineyards and fields were fallow. Despite the influx of many settlers from Austria and Switzerland, the place needed around 100 years to recover from the devastating war. Meanwhile, further billeting and demands for contributions had to be endured. From 1672 to 1675, Brandenburg troops took quarters in Ilsfeld several times. During the Palatine War of Succession in 1693, the place was home to French troops who tried to attack Heilbronn from there.

Württemberg rural community

In the 18th century there was orderly conditions and modest growth in Ilsfeld. After the Napoleonic Wars , as a result of which the entire surrounding area became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg , established in 1806 , and after the reorganization of the Württemberg upper offices , Ilsfeld belonged to the Oberamt Bietigheim from 1808 and to the Oberamt Besigheim from 1810 . The place expanded gradually, first to the west and east along the main street, beyond its medieval borders. In 1832 the city gates were no longer there. In 1844 for the first time over 2000 inhabitants were counted. Nonetheless, there was always great poverty well into the 19th century. There were famines in 1816, 1831 and 1841. In the years 1810 to 1890, 651 inhabitants emigrated mostly to America, but some also to Africa (Cape Country) and Russia (Caucasus).

From 1889 to 1891 a road connection to the Oberamtsstadt Besigheim was created, in November 1899 a section of the Bottwartalbahn running near Ilsfeld was inaugurated, which was extended the following year from Ilsfeld to Heilbronn Südbahnhof . The Royal Württemberg State Railways built the station building as a type IIIa unit station . In the early 20th century, the rural Ilsfeld became a working-class community for nearby Heilbronn, where around 200 Ilsfeld fields soon found work, mainly in factories such as the Ackermann twisting mill , the Knorr soup factory , the Bruckmann silver goods factory and the Flammer soap factory . After the construction of the power station in Pleidelsheim around 1907, Ilsfeld was electrified until 1914.

City fire in 1904

After the fire disaster

On August 4, 1904, 130 buildings with town hall, school and church as well as 77 barns were destroyed in a major fire in the village with a burn area of ​​around 420 ares. One person was killed and 706 people were left homeless. The property damage was estimated at 1,392,696 Reichsmarks. The cause of the fire was an alcohol stove that was knocked over by children while frying apples. The different hose couplings of the local Württemberg fire brigades represented a major obstacle to extinguishing the fire. The fire disaster shocked all of Germany. In addition to King Wilhelm II , more than 40,000 onlookers arrived in the following days.

As early as August 8, the Ministry of Road and Hydraulic Engineering formed a reconstruction team headed by Senior Building Officer Richard von Leibbrand, who initially built a barrack village with 100 houses to accommodate the homeless residents to survive the upcoming winter. A new site plan was then implemented. When the town center was rebuilt, the main street that is still central today (since 1906: König-Wilhelm-Straße) was widened to 11 meters by dispensing with the development on the side of the slope leading to the church, which was once a bottleneck, and the slope with the characteristic of the town and the new building the wall was extended by 100 meters . The important public buildings (town hall, church, school, teacher's house, rectory and Dorastift) were rebuilt according to plans by the architects Schmohl and Staehelin in Swabian-rural shapes with style elements of Art Nouveau. The reconstruction of the place was essentially completed by 1906.

An industrial settlement in Ilsfeld initially failed in 1911 due to a lack of infrastructure, the place remained a rural village until the Second World War. In 1935 there were 335 mostly small farms, in which 40–60% of the population found their livelihood, as well as 120 small businesses with a total of 220 employees. A transport connection to the nearby Lauffen, where the Lauffen cement works offered work, failed in 1929 when a planned Kraftpost line was not implemented.

time of the nationalsocialism

The mayor, elected in 1916 (from 1932: mayor) Hugo Heinrich joined the NSDAP in 1934 and remained in office during the Nazi era . In 1937 Heinrich applied for his retirement due to illness, but was unable to leave the post due to a medical report and held it until after the Second World War. From 1939 on, Heinrich was also the joint mayor of Schozach.

In 1935, construction began on the section of the A 81 from Heilbronn to Stuttgart, which cuts through the Ilsfeld marking in the southeast. When the Oberamt Besigheim was dissolved, Ilsfeld came to the Heilbronn district in 1938 - in contrast to most other communities .

During the Second World War , Ilsfeld was initially largely spared air raids, although heavy attacks were carried out on surrounding areas from 1941 onwards. The influx of refugees increased the population of the town during the war: in 1939 there were 1999 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 2164. After the air raid on Heilbronn on December 4, 1944, around 600 people from Heilbronn fled to the area with refugees and at that time Displaced people stuffed Ilsfeld. In the last days of the war, Ilsfeld was itself the target of air raids on April 14 and 16, 1945, in which around 50 buildings were destroyed and several people died. On April 20, 1945, Ilsfeld was occupied by American troops.

Ilsfeld since the Second World War

Ilsfeld quarry

In 1945, Ilsfeld became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which in 1952 became the current state of Baden-Württemberg.

After Mayor Heinrich retired in 1947, there was no statutory mayor election in Ilsfeld until 1948. The professional soldier Walter Schwörer, who was appointed by District Administrator Sihler at short notice, and the pharmacist KH Frank, who was subsequently elected by the local council, quickly left the community. The long-time mayor's deputy Gottlob Frank took over the business of the mayor in 1947/48, he was followed by Eugen Härle , who was elected in 1948 and who was mayor of Ilsfeld until 1974 and again mayor of Schozach from 1954 until the incorporation in 1972.

Due to the small number of vehicles, the autobahn was only made drivable again from 1950, with Ilsfeld initially only having a one-sided driveway for military vehicles, which was to be closed by 1955. In 1956 a junction was set up and two rest stops in 1968/74. The proximity to the motorway junction and the increasing automobile traffic associated with the closure of the Bottwartalbahn in 1967 brought heavy traffic loads to the road villages of Ilsfeld and Auenstein, which in the case of Auenstein could be alleviated with a bypass road in the 1990s, but persist in Ilsfeld.

In 1950 there were 571 agricultural businesses with 1151 employees and 217 commercial businesses with 448 employees in the towns of what is now the entire municipality of Ilsfeld. With the settlement of industry and commerce, Ilsfeld has grown rapidly since the 1950s. Agriculture was soon no longer the largest local industry; its place was taken by manufacturing. The industrial area Ilsfeld Ost stretches between the town and the motorway access to the east , and large new residential areas have emerged to the north and south of the town, beginning with the core settlement in 1952. Further residential and commercial areas were also designated in the suburbs. In 1987 there were still 58 farms with 203 employees compared to 332 businesses with 2029 employees. Labor migration brought an influx of foreigners: in the early 1960s the first foreign worker was accepted, in 1987 there were around 550 foreigners among the approximately 6,200 inhabitants of the entire municipality.

In February 1970, the collapse of a large part of the wall, which had to be renewed by 1974, caused a sensation. At the same time, plans began for the extensive renovation of the aging town center, which then took place in the 1980s and in the course of which numerous old residential buildings that had survived the fire of 1904 were replaced by new buildings and buildings from 1904 were renovated.

Religions

Ilsfeld and Auenstein each have their own Protestant parish, and Ilsfeld also has a New Apostolic parish. The Catholic parish of Untergruppenbach is responsible for the Catholics, while Methodist Christians belong to the Abstatt-Happenbach parish.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1971, Schozach was incorporated into Ilsfeld. On December 31, 1973, the communities of Ilsfeld and Auenstein (with Abstetterhof and Helfenberg ) merged to form the new community of Ilsfeld.

badges and flags

The blazon of the Ilsfeld coat of arms reads: A green tree with roots in silver under a black deer pole. The flag of the municipality is green and white.

The tree is the spot signs Ilsfelds and detected as such in 1685, the Hirsch bar stands for belonging to Ilsfelds Württemberg . The combination of both signs in one coat of arms is proven in the Ilsfeld seals from 1468 onwards (with the stag stick turned to the right) ; the seal from 1468 is the oldest known village seal and coat of arms in Württemberg. The seals from 1596 then show the stag in its current orientation. The colors of the coat of arms have been proven since the late 16th century. The new community of Ilsfeld, which was formed after the union with Auenstein, took up the coat of arms and flag again; both were awarded to the community on January 24, 1978 by the district office of Heilbronn.

Culture and sights

Bartholomäuskirche

Buildings

After the great fire of 1904, a number of Art Nouveau buildings were rebuilt or rebuilt. The evangelical Bartholomäuskirche on the Spreuerberg, built by Paul Schmohl , still contains a late Gothic choir as well as parts of the tower and west gable of its predecessor. Josef Zeitler created the building decoration in the Art Nouveau style . At the same time and with similar stylistic features, the town hall with Art Nouveau portal, the schoolhouse , the rectory and the Dorastift kindergarten were also built on the Spreuerberg . The town hall was expanded in 1993.

The Dorastift is located on the site of the old parsonage that burned down. Ferdinand von Steinbeis spent his youth in the old rectory from 1811 to 1821, and his grandmother Friederike Kerner, the mother of Justinus Kerner , lived there until her death in 1817 , whose grave is preserved in the Ilsfeld cemetery . In the old rectory, after two foundations in 1881/86, an infant care facility was set up. After the city fire, the building was rebuilt in its current form thanks to a donation from Prof. Karl Vollmöller and named after his wife Theodora Elisabeth Vollmöller Dorastift . A large board on the building names the various donors. There is a humorous sandstone sculpture on the surrounding wall of the site.

The buildings along the main street that were built after the fire of 1904 show some Art Nouveau style features in their massive basement floors, but the upper floors are mostly conventional half-timbered buildings. The Gasthaus Krone still has a baroque basement with a jewelry portal from 1766.

Helfenberg castle ruins

Only fragments are left of the city ​​wall that was built around 1500 with what was once ten towers. The south wall of the cemetery and parts of the church wall go back to the city wall. The eastern end of the once walled area is still marked by two preserved towers in Turmstrasse and Bollwerkstrasse. The upper bulwark tower has been expanded into a residential building with a half-timbered tower since 1919. One of the oldest buildings in the area is the so-called stone house, dated 1585, on Mühlstrasse .

In the hamlet of Wüstenhausen , part of Ilsfeld , the remains of a chapel from the 15th century and the land tower used as a customs post for the Württemberg land moat have been preserved.

The Helfenberg castle ruins are located above the hamlet of Helfenberg , part of the Auenstein district of Ilsfeld .

Regular events

The annual Ilsfeld wood market was mentioned as early as 1521 as being held from ancient times. In the 1970s, the event, which takes place on the last weekend in August, developed from a traditional wood market into a grocer's market with an amusement park and marquee.

In 2000, Carina Läpple was the first woman from Ilsfeld to be elected as Württemberg wine queen . Ilsfeld is also located on the Württemberg Wine Route , which leads past many sights.

In the town, which was still predominantly agricultural until the 1950s, several industrial areas have emerged, including the Ilsfeld Ost area developed in the 1950s (today: Ilsfeld Süd ) and the recently expanded industrial area in Gewann Bustatt (today: Ilsfeld Nord ), as well as industrial areas in the suburbs of Auenstein and Schozach. In the 1970s and 1980s, workplaces with one to four employees made up around two-thirds of the 235 businesses, while there were only three or four companies with over 50 employees. For a long time the most important branch in Ilsfeld was the manufacturing industry , in the 1980s the number of employees in the areas of trade and services in particular increased sharply.
