Jettenbach (Beilstein)
Jettenbach is a hamlet in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg , which once belonged to Schmidhausen and with this came to the city of Beilstein in 1971 .
geography
Jettenbach is located in the Swabian-Franconian Forest about two kilometers northeast of Schmidhausen on the left bank of the Schmidbach valley, which slopes down from the northeast near Löwenstein to Schmidhausen in the southwest. The hamlet of Jettenbach is divided into the two settlement centers Ober- and Unterjettenbach, following the slope.
history
Jettenbach is one of the clearing and forest hamlets that were founded in Schmidhausen. The hamlet essentially shares the history of Schmidhausen and came with this and its other hamlets from the Lords of Hummel von Lichtenberg to Württemberg , then to the Lords of Urbach and from these in 1443 to the Count Palatine near Rhine and thereby to the Counts of Löwenstein , who held the property from 1510 as a Württemberg man fief.
In the 16th century there were four fiefdoms in the hamlet, which shared a total of around 109 acres. With 49 acres, meadows made up the largest proportion, followed by fields (38 acres), forest (20 acres) and vineyards (2 acres). In 1753 there were 16 hearths in Jettenbach, in 1810 there were 128 inhabitants.
With the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Jettenbach was assigned to the Marbach Oberamt together with Schmidhausen in 1810 .
In 1839 the highest level was reached with 156 inhabitants, after which the number of inhabitants decreased to less than 100 by 1900.
In 1933, after the mandatory Reich Labor Service had been introduced , the previously voluntary labor service previously housed in Billensbach was relocated to Unterjettenbach, from where it had previously built a road to Klingen . A camp consisting of several barracks was built in Unterjettenbach. The work teams housed there cleared around 40 hectares of the nuns' forest from 1934 to 1938 and also further forest areas, and the Reich Labor Service also regulated the drainage of the Schmidbach valley between Schmidhausen and Billensbach and straightened the course of the water. From 1938 to 1940, the barracks housed the female labor service, and the buildings later served as refugee shelters before being demolished in the 1960s.
From 1969 to 1983 the population grew from 97 to 135 inhabitants.

The old wine press in the vineyards outside Jettenbach was built around 1730 and the southern annex was added in 1888. The building was used to press wine until 1940, previously as a horse stable, today as a cabaret.
