geography
Geographical location
Jestetten is located in the extreme south of Baden-Württemberg in the Klettgau on the Upper Rhine, about 6 km from the Rhine Falls .
The municipality is unique in Germany in terms of its geographical location, it is located together with the municipalities of Dettighofen and Lottstetten in the Jestetter Zipfel , which is surrounded over a length of 55 km by the border with Switzerland and only directly accessible from official vehicle traffic via a state road from Germany can be reached, another direct road connection leads over Swiss territory through the Wangental . The most important traffic artery, however, is the B27 . Despite appearances, the area is not an exclave .
Neighboring communities
The municipality borders in the north on the Swiss municipalities Wilchingen , Neunkirch , Guntmadingen and Neuhausen am Rheinfall in the canton of Schaffhausen , in the east on Laufen-Uhwiesen , Dachsen and Rheinau in the canton of Zurich and on the German municipalities Lottstetten in the south and Dettighofen in the west.
Community structure

The municipality Jestetten with the formerly independent municipality of Altenburg include a total of nine villages, farms and houses and the Outbound Edenburg .
The community of Altenburg, incorporated in 1973 within the boundaries of 1972, includes the village of Altenburg and the houses Altenburg-Hardt, Altenburg-Rheinau railway station and Zollhaus Rheinbrücke . The former municipality of Jestetten includes the village of Jestetten, the Flachshof and Sonnenhof farms and the Talmühle, Wangental and Zollamt houses.
In the municipality of Altenburg in the territorial status of 1972 are the desert areas of Waldkirchen, which has not been reliably proven, and Swabia. The Guggenburg, Hofstetten, Gunzenried and Lochehof and Burgstall Tüsental are located in the area of the former municipality of Jestetten .
history
The sheltered terrace on the large Rhine bend around the Rheinau monastery below the Rhine Falls was a preferred settlement area very early on. The traces of settlement go back to the Middle Stone Age . A fortified Celtic settlement, the Oppidum Altenburg-Rheinau , has been proven by excavations.
Altenburg is mentioned for the first time in 871 as pago Chlegouwe in villa Altunbourch , after a copy from 1126 in the Cartular von Rheinau. Further mentions follow in the years 871, 892, 1049, and 1241 (Altinburch)
The first documented mention of Jestetten dates back to 871 as "villa que vocatur Jesteten" ( village called Jesteten ), it belonged to the Landgraviate of Klettgau . The Counts of Sulz once resided in Jestetten Castle .
From 1774 to 1806 various religious orders lived in the castle.
With the Landgraviate of Klettgau, the place came to Baden in 1806 . This also meant the end of monastic life in the castle.
From 1830 the castle served as the seat of the Jestetten District Office, then as a district court and district court prison and from 1878 as a district care facility.
Because of the complicated course of the border in this region, the area of the Jestetter Zipfel was declared a customs exclusion area in 1840 , which shortened the border to be monitored from 55 km to 6 km. This regulation, which lasted until 1935, brought the residents of the area a modest level of prosperity, as they could offer their products duty-free in Baden, Germany and Switzerland. The occasional smuggling was mainly caused by times of need. Petrol was cheaper than in Switzerland and than in the rest of Germany and along the main roads, numerous petrol stations opened which sold duty-free fuel.
After the First World War, the Baden government flatly rejected the Jestetter Zipfel's attempt to join Switzerland.
During the time of National Socialism, 200 residents of the district care facility were murdered as part of the T4 campaign .
End of war and post-war period
After the occupation of South Baden at the end of World War II , the area also fell into the hands of the French occupying forces . For the commander of the 1st Army , Jean de Lattre de Tassigny , the area in the demarcation was too confusing. He had it evacuated. On May 14, 1945, the population was called to march and the next day the residents of Jestetten, Altenburg, Lottstetten and Nack were on their way via Grießen to the Black Forest . The French acted from a military point of view. There are said to have been scattered German soldiers in the forests on the Swiss border and rumors about an exchange of territory with Switzerland were also in circulation. The Second World War had only recently come to an end, and the regular German troops had also resettled for military purposes. It was also customary in the French army to evacuate towns from the civilian population. The procedure therefore did not attract any particular attention internationally or in Switzerland.
In addition, the Allied Military Government had ordered a 5-kilometer-wide "restricted border area" at the German borders in Act No. 161, and the existence of many villages along the Rhine and around the canton of Schaffhausen was threatened. Not least because the passing Jestetter presented their own fate, organized resistance arose in Klettgau: Through connections with Switzerland, the matter could be dealt with through the Apostolic Nuncio Roncalli, who later became Pope Johannes XXIII. , regulated: By decision of the military governor on June 3, 1945, all villages south of the Wutach Valley were spared from the order. Before the decision was made, 140 citizens in Erzingen had signed a vow to build a chapel .
In the summer of 1945, the population found accommodation in various Black Forest villages. By autumn 1945, the inhabitants of the then four villages were back in their homeland.
On January 1, 1973 Altenburg was incorporated.
The commemoration in Jestetten on May 15, 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the evacuation was documented by the local broadcaster TV Eichberg .

schools
Elementary and secondary school Jestetten (school on the Rhine loop)
It consists of the Altenburg branch and the headquarters in Jestetten. About 400 students are taught.
The historical "old school house" still exists, which is used today as a cultural meeting place for the community. Due to the deficiencies with regard to teacher training and spatial conditions, which were repeatedly complained about during visits to the school authorities over the decades, the Jestetten municipality finally decided to build a new school building with teachers' apartments and rooms for the municipal administration. The inauguration took place on December 26, 1910.
School use currently extends to the entire building. The rooms serve the elementary and technical secondary school as classrooms and specialist rooms, as meeting rooms, teachers' rooms and lounge. The school library and the premises of the DRK day care center are located on the top floor.
The inauguration of the school building in Altenburg took place on September 23, 1956. Eight primary school classes were taught here until 1966/67. From 1978 the school was administratively assigned as an official branch of the Jestetten elementary and secondary school as part of the incorporation. This year the building received a multi-purpose hall as an addition, which could also be used for physical education.
Headmaster of the school on the Rheinschleife is Hans-Dieter Strittmatter, Deputy Stephanie Brettschneider.
Jestetten secondary school
The Jestetten Realschule was visited for the first time on April 6, 1959 by 22 students from the Jestetten elementary school's new middle school. The classrooms were initially in the primary and secondary school building. It received its official name in 1966.
The foundation stone for the independent school building at the current location was only laid ten years later, in 1969. Due to the steady increase in students, an extension was necessary, construction of which began in 1997. Today it has 17 classrooms as well as several specialist and work rooms. In the 2015/16 school year, 465 students were taught by 31 teachers in 16 classes. One option is bilingual lessons in English.
