Rottweil Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The Rottweil Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Rottweil Chamber of Commerce ( IHK Rottweil ) was a Chamber of Commerce and Industry based in Rottweil from 1866 to 1973 . It went on in today's Black Forest-Baar-Heuberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry .

history

In the Kingdom of Württemberg , private chambers of commerce were set up in Stuttgart , Heilbronn , Reutlingen and Ulm in 1843 , i.e. without a legal basis or mandate. As an umbrella organization, they founded the Württemberg Trade Association.

By royal decree of April 19, 1854 it was decreed that chambers of commerce and trade were to be formed in the “most commercial cities” in the country. The members should be appointed by the king. It was only after the king conceded the choice of members by the companies that the private chambers of commerce dissolved and the new chambers were the only representatives of the economy. The demand for the election of members of the Chamber was implemented in the election ordinance of February 17, 1858. The chamber members were elected in a complicated process by the traders and traders in the chamber district. There were no separate chambers of crafts . A third of the members of the chamber had to be craftsmen, merchants and manufacturers. The chambers were not financed through levies, but from state funds.

The chamber districts were cut relatively large. Therefore, on March 17, 1866, the Ministry of the Interior approved the formation of four further chambers in Calw , Heidenheim , Ravensburg and Rottweil.

The chamber district of the Rottweil Chamber of Commerce and Industry comprised the regional offices of Rottweil , Oberndorf , Spaichingen , Sulz and Tuttlingen . On February 6, 1867, the Chamber was constituted under President Ferdinand von Steinbeis in the town hall of Rottweil.

The first members of the Chamber were

• Manufacturers
  • Martin Benzing, owner of the Held & Teufel cotton weaving mill
  • Erhard Junghans , watch manufacturer
  • Johannes Bürk , watch manufacturer
• Merchants
  • Emil Diemmler, Rottweil
  • Josef Widmann, Rottweil
  • Josef Ceyssel, Tuttlingen
• Craftsman
  • Karl Holz, knife manufacturer, Tuttlingen
  • August Honer, carpet manufacturer, Balgheim
  • Wgh. Letters, coppersmith, Rottweil

In 1868 the number of chamber members was increased from nine to twelve. Six of them were chosen in Rottweil, two in Tuttlingen and one each in Schramberg, Schwenningen, Spaichingen and Sulz. The Chamber of Commerce Act of 1874 reduced the number of members to eleven from 1875. Rottweil only had four members, Oberndorf one member. This means that all of the regional authorities were represented in the chamber. The Chamber of Commerce Act of 1899 increased the number of chamber members to twelve, the Chamber Ordinance of January 11, 1923 to 16.

With the seizure of power by the National Socialists, the self-management of the economy ended. The chamber was brought into line , the councils in accordance with the " leader principle " by the president Fritz Kiehn appointed. In 1943 the IHK was dissolved and transferred to the Gau economic chambers. The IHK Rottweil became part of the Gauwirtschaftskammer Stuttgart . After the war, the members of the Chamber were first elected in 1950.

The Calw Chamber of Commerce was dissolved by the ordinance of the State Ministry of July 31, 1934. Most of the chamber district was assigned to the district of the chamber in Rottweil. In 1946 the rest (the northern part of the district of Horb, which corresponded to the former Oberamt Horb) was assigned to the chamber district of Rottweil.

In 1973 the IHK Rottweil was merged into what is now the Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry .

building

In 1914 the chamber moved into its own building, which was used until 1953.

On January 27, 1950, the general assembly decided to build a new chamber building. The building at Körnerstrasse 12 was then built from 1952 to 1953 by the architect Heinz G. Hofmann as a new chamber building for the Rottweil Chamber of Commerce and Industry. On October 30, 1953, the building was occupied and inaugurated on November 21, 1953.
