Geographical location

The major cities of Mannheim , Heidelberg , Heilbronn and Karlsruhe with their metropolitan areas are less than 50 km as the crow flies .

The Elsenz runs through the municipality from south to north. Apart from smaller bodies of water, it flows in the upstream local area of ​​the Sulzbach or Sulzbachgraben from Weiler in the northwest, and a little below the village, the Bockschafter Bach, which previously crossed the village of Bockschaft , flows out of the Ittlinger Tal valley . Towards the western edge of the municipality's area, it has around 2 km² of the Bannholz , otherwise there are only small forest islands in it. On the undulating hills of the Kraichgau, agriculture dominates the open fields, which is favored by the loess sediment cover over a large part of the area.

Neighboring communities

Neighboring cities and communities are ( clockwise , starting in the west): Sinsheim ( Rhein-Neckar-Kreis ), Kirchardt and Eppingen . Kirchardt and Eppingen belong to the Heilbronn district. With Eppingen and the municipality of Gemmingen , Ittlingen has become the Eppingen-Gemmingen-Ittlingen administrative community .

Community structure

history

Until the 19th century

Ittlingen was first mentioned as Uchlinheim in a document dated to the year 773 in the Lorsch Codex . During the time of the tribal duchies, the place was in the Duchy of Franconia . In the 12th century there was a local nobility (Lords of Ucklingen), but almost nothing is known about them today. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Counts of Öttingen had rights in Ittlingen. In 1414 Dietrich von Gemmingen received half of Ittlingen as a fief, and he bought the other half. The lords of Gemmingen (lines to Gemmingen and to Michelfeld) owned Ittlingen half as an allod property, half as a fiefdom of the Counts of Öttingen. After the extinction of the Gemmingen-Michelfeld, the Grecken von Kochendorf appeared as co-local lords from 1616 , after their extinction in 1749 the Gemmingen-Hornberg. Ittlingen came to Baden in 1806 .

20th and 21st centuries

In 1939 there were 1,152 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 1,409.

After the Second World War, the once agricultural town changed into a workers' residential community, for which several new building areas were developed. Individual businesses also settled here. Before the district reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1973, Ittlingen belonged to the Sinsheim district , but then came to the Heilbronn district . In 1987 an extensive renovation program began for the town center, with which the area around the church and the community center in particular was upgraded. The renovation program was officially completed in July 2006.

Religions

In Ittlingen there is a Protestant, a Catholic, a free church and a New Apostolic church congregation. The majority of the Ittlingen population is Protestant.

Synagogue memorial stone

The Jewish community of Ittlingen has been recorded since the 17th century, as the Lords of Gemmingen and the Grecken after the Thirty Years' War increasingly took in Jews in the place where previously only individual Jews had lived. In 1722 five Jewish families are named, the number of which increased to 15 by 1795. A synagogue had existed since 1686 at the latest and was replaced by a new synagogue in Mühlgasse in 1805. Around 1850, the Jewish community had its highest membership level with just under 180 people, which, however, would decline sharply in the following years due to emigration and emigration. The Jewish cemetery in Ittlingen had existed since 1887 . In 1933 the Jewish community still numbered 37 people, more than half of whom emigrated to the USA by 1938. The synagogue in Mühlgasse was devastated during the November pogroms in 1938 , then demolished and the site has been used as a garden ever since. Of the last eight Ittlingen Jews who were deported to Camp de Gurs in October 1940 , only one survivor is known. Since 1988 a memorial plaque has been commemorating the former synagogue.

badges and flags

The blazon of the Ittlinger coat of arms reads: In blue two golden bars, covered with a red heart shield, inside a fallen golden ploughshare. The flag of the municipality is yellow-blue.

The Ittlinger coat of arms proposed by the General State Archives in Karlsruhe in 1910 shows the blue-gold colors of the Lords of Gemmingen , the local owners from 1355 to 1806. The heart shield with the ploughshare referring to agriculture is used to distinguish it from the Gemmingen coat of arms . The flag, which is derived from the colors of the coat of arms, was awarded to Ittlingen on October 1, 1980 by the district office of Heilbronn.
