history

General

The Radolfzell district already offered settlement incentives in prehistoric times. Numerous archaeological sites attest to this. In the core town there are mostly traces of the Middle Ages and modern times, in the districts there are primarily traces of older settlement.

middle Ages

Origin / foundation

Radolfzell was founded around 826 by Bishop Radolt von Verona (term of office 799 to 840, died around 847), after which the city got its name (Latin: Cella Ratoldi). The oldest carrier of the founding history of Radolfzell is a reliquary transfer legend of the Reichenau monastery and part of the collective manuscript of the Reichenau "Codex domesticus". In the translation legend De miraculis et virtutibus beati Marci evangelistae , the writing, created by an anonymous author around 930 at the time of King Henry I (919–936), reports how the Veronese Bishop Radolt also came to the monastery island of Reichenau on a trip to his Alemannic homeland be. Radolt asked Abbot Erlebald to leave him the canon cell of Eginos, his teacher and predecessor on the Verona bishopric, who had been founded on the northern shore of the island . The abbot, who did not want to grant him this wish, had referred him to another place he had chosen on the opposite shore of the lake, of which it says in the Reichenau script:

Est locus valde speciosus… Reichenauer manuscript: Cod. Aug. perg. 84, made around 930

Est locus valde speciosus, a nostro monasterio segregatus ultra lacum iacens inter aquilonarem et occidentalem plagam spatio duorum milium, in quo erant piscatorum domus nullique alii aptus cultui. Hunc coepit excolere, domos aedificare nec non ecclesiam ad honorem deo in eodem loco construere nominisque sui vocabulum eidem cellulae imponere vocans eam Ratoltescella, quae nunc usque comparet. Quam cum multimodis decoraret ornamentis omnibusque iuxta suae mentis affectum rite patris ad episcopalem sedem, unde venerat, reversus est.

“This place, now two miles to the northwest from the monastery across the lake, was extremely lovely, but only inhabited by fishermen and not suitable for any other cultivation. So Radolt began to prepare it and to build apartments and a church there for the glory of God and to name the cell founded in this way after himself Radolt's cell, as it is still today. After he had decorated it in many ways and furnished it entirely according to his needs, he returned to his bishopric. "

Further development

As a result, Radolt bought relics of the evangelist Mark in Venice and the bones of Saints Senesius and Theopontus in Treviso for considerable sums of money . He transferred the Markus relics to Reichenau in 830, and buried the latter in his cell church, which probably became a place of pilgrimage for the two saints, patron saints of the future city, early on (see below: Religion).

High Middle Ages

In 1100 it came under the Reichenau Abbot Ulrich II. Dapfen of and with the approval of Henry IV. After Allensbach "in the hamlet Radolfs" ( in villa Ratolfi ) to the second market founding of the monastery, presumably connected to its own mint money . In addition to the farming and fishing village, the old Kelhof and the church of Radolf, which was in the care of a canon monastery, a trading center separate from the Kelhof was established with its own rights. The market law document of 1100 is considered the earliest document handed down in southwest Germany about the creation of a separate urban land law, which was further developed in the municipal law of Freiburg im Breisgau in 1120. At the same time, the settlement was expanded and a little later the construction of a city wall and its four oldest gate towers, three of which are still preserved today, along with the remains of the city wall.

The abbots of Reichenau, who in the early days of the settlement had basic and court rights, and therefore unlimited rule over the place as their own property, also enfeoffed and awarded the bailiwick rights to Reichenau ministerials , who in turn worked with the respective Meier and mayor for the Jurisdiction or for the legal and regular payments of the interest farmers ( censuals ) and servants to the Reichenauer feudal givers were responsible.

City law

It was not until 1267 that Radolfzell received its town charter and in this context is again subject to the "lawful authority" of a Reichenau abbot ( Albrecht von Ramstein ), after it had been subordinate to the Lords of Friedingen , who exercised Vogt and Meieramt over Radolfzell.

Rule of the Habsburgs

But not long after Reichenau had bought back the Bailiwick of Radolfzell, in 1298 the Bishop of Constance Heinrich II. Von Klingenberg , under whose care the abbotless and highly indebted Reichenau Monastery was at that time, sold the Bailiwick of Radolfzell and the villages of Aach (Hegau ) , Überlingen am Ried , Böhringen and Reute (Radolfzell) to the Habsburgs under King Albrecht I (HRR) . In the Habsburg land register at the beginning of the 14th century, Radolfzell is managed together with Böhringen, Überlingen and Reute - belonging to the Habsburg office of Aach. Radolfzell was to remain under the rule of Habsburg Austria almost continuously for the next 500 years. Although in 1415 the city received as a result of the proscription of Duke Frederick IV. The realm of freedom - Friedrich had the on the Council of Constance , who remained Pope John XXIII. helped to escape - but in 1455 the city came under Habsburg-Austrian rule again, belonged to the Landgraviate of Nellenburg and was one of the Swabian-Austrian estates.

Peasants' War

Radolfzell was imperial and against the rebellious peasants. Hans Müller von Bulgenbach tried to take Radolfzell with his Black Forest heap, and Kunz Jehle was also involved . However, he had to break off the siege on July 1, 1525 in view of dwindling support (around 10,000 men against a rider group of 8,000 men under the leadership of Mark Sittich von Hohenems ). Around 24 villages in Hegau were then killed. Requested help together with Ulrich Albrecht by means of a letter of appeal to the confederates remained unsuccessful.

In 1609 Radolfzell became the seat of the knight canton of Hegau . The office was located in the Ritterhaus , a former aristocratic court that became the seat of the district office in 1810.

Modern times

In 1806 the city fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg and in 1810 came in exchange to the Grand Duchy of Baden . Here the city became the seat of the Radolfzell District Office , which was dissolved in 1872. Radolfzell then belonged to the district office of Konstanz , from which the district of Konstanz emerged in 1939 .

time of the nationalsocialism

The co-ordination of public and private life that went hand in hand with the National Socialists' takeover in 1933 was just as extensive in Radolfzell as it was everywhere in the German Reich at the time. Already on July 29, 1932, shortly before the Reichstag election , the NSDAP and the NSEAP organized an election rally in Radolfzell in the Mettnau Stadium with Adolf Hitler as a speaker and in front of thousands of listeners. After Hitler was appointed Chancellor , the party organizations held a large torchlight procession on the evening of January 30, 1933 in Radolfzell. In 1933/1934 the political parties, companies, authorities and schools in the city were dissolved or brought into line; Renaming of numerous streets and squares after prominent National Socialists. At the beginning of 1934, the previous mayor Otto Blesch was ousted from his office and replaced by NSDAP district leader and district inspector Eugen Speer. There was a sharp increase in the number of SA members in 1934; Radolfzell became the seat of an SA rider standard.

The SS garrison in Radolfzell and the Dachau external concentration camp command in Radolfzell

At the initiative of Mayor Eugen Speer , who had strongly advocated this location during his tenure, the construction of a spacious barracks for the Schutzstaffel (SS) based on plans by the Karlsruhe architect Hermann Alker began in the north of the city at the end of 1935 . Since the death of her first commander Heinrich Koeppen from October 1939 eponymous SS barracks was on 31 July 1937, the arrival of an SS-Verfügungstruppe , of 1935 in Soltau erected III. Battalions of the SS-Standarte Germania , occupied and used in the following years by changing associations of the Waffen-SS . Until the beginning of the war in 1939, the battalion of the available troops were stationed, from December 1939 the SS-Totenkopf - Infantry-Ersatz-Bataillon I, which had previously been set up in Breslau (first moved to Stralsund and then to Warsaw in December 1940 ), and at the end of 1940 a group leader course for NCOs and in 1941 a War Reserve Leader Candidate Course (RFA) as part of the “Führer” - d. H. Officer training for the Waffen SS. After the withdrawal of the Totenkopfverband, with effect from February 15, 1941, the SS-Unterführerschule Radolfzell (USR) was stationed in the Heinrich-Koeppen-Kaserne by the SS Leadership Main Office and on the orders of the Reichsführer SS, Heinrich Himmler , “to secure suitable junior officers” . Between May 1941 and January 1945 there was also an external command from the Dachau concentration camp on the barracks area.

The SS troops from Radolfzell blew up during the Reichspogromnacht on 9/10. November 1938 the synagogues of Konstanz , Gailingen , Wangen and Randegg . The Radolfzell SS battalion was also used in the connection of Austria , the annexation of the Sudeten German territories , the smashing of Czechoslovakia and the attack on Poland . In addition, the Radolfzeller Totenkopfverband was involved in the local measures as part of the so-called Wagner-Bürckel-Aktion in autumn 1940: within a few days on October 22, 1940, all 234 Jews from the area around Radolfzell and the Höri were transferred to the Gurs internment camp in southern France deported.

Numerous, including high-ranking members of the Waffen-SS responsible for war crimes, worked in the Radolfzell Unterführer school between 1941 and 1945 as changing instructors for junior officers who were each trained for at least three months in military and ideological terms in the sense of National Socialism before they finally learned how their instructors, deployed on the different fronts of the war. Between November 1942 and January 1943, the former commander in chief of the French army and defense minister of the collaborative regime of Vichy , General Maxime Weygand , was interned in the subordinate school. From the sub Führerschule end in 1944, the SS regiment Radolfzell under Obersturmbannführer Willi Braun and, after his early loss, Kurt United recruited and early 1945, several "battle groups" that are still in the last months of the war in the territory of the Upper Rhine / Colmar operated and Lake Constance.

The SS shooting range built by concentration camp inmates in 1941/1942. Here is the middle of the three firing paths bordered by earth walls with high aperture (2009)

With the first contingent of over one hundred prisoners from Dachau - among other things, they were forced to build a large-caliber shooting range in the Gewann Altbohl (district of Güttingen and Möggingen) - Dachau guards also came to the concentration camp external command integrated into the SS barracks. The barracks guard of the subordinate school took over the supervision of the prisoners in the barracks area. According to the “school order” of the USR commander in charge, the guard duty was to be carried out “analogously to that of the concentration camps”, which de facto meant the adoption of the Dachau camp regulations . When the prisoners were deployed outside, the Dachau guards were responsible for guard duty. The first “commando leader” between May 1941 and August 1942 was SS- Hauptscharführer Josef Seuss , who was later sentenced to death by the Americans as a war criminal in the Dachau main trial in 1945 and executed .

At least two prisoners perished violently in the Radolfzell external command, as evidenced by surviving Dachau camp documents: Jacob Dörr (1916–1941) and Fritz Klose (1904–1943). Since 2004 ("Jakob-Dörr-Str") and 2019 ("Fritz-Klose-Weg") two street names in Radolfzell have been reminding of the concentration camp prisoners. While the "Jakob-Dörr-Str." (Sic) on the area of ​​the former barracks had previously been nameless, the 1956 so-called " Landserweg " between the barracks and the former SS housing estate was renamed in 2019 to "Fritz-Klose-Weg". In 2016, a planned street in a new building area in the north of the city was named after Leonhard Oesterle , who had been a prisoner in the external camp since May 1941 and who, together with his fellow Czech inmate Oldřich Sedláček, managed to escape to Switzerland in November 1943.

In the last days of the war, five SS soldiers refused to serve and asked for asylum at the Swiss border , which they were denied. They were handed over to the German authorities. The five soldiers were shot dead by members of the Radolfzell SS regiment and buried in the old Radolfzell cemetery, later transferred to the forest cemetery as the graves of five “unknown soldiers”.

On April 25, 1945, the French troops marched in. They occupied the barracks at the beginning of May 1945 and used them and the shooting range without any major structural changes.

After the French armed forces withdrew from Caserne Vauban in 1977, the barracks area and its buildings were gradually opened to civilian use. Today they belong to the so-called industrial area north . The size and substance of the abandoned shooting range is clearly recognizable and preserved in the increasingly overgrown area.

Memorials

A commemorative plaque was attached to the former SS shooting range in 2010 by a civil society initiative and in 2012 by the City of Radolfzell - in cooperation with this memorial initiative - an information plaque on the development and use of the area. In September 2013, a memorial and information center was opened to the public in the entrance area of ​​the former staff building of the barracks. The ensemble of a metal sculpture and four information boards was made by the Pforzheim artist René Dantes . Since then, both the former SS shooting range and the former SS barracks have been among the memorials in Baden-Württemberg designated by the State Center for Political Education .

Stumbling blocks

In June 2014, September 2015 and July 2016 a total of 23 stumbling blocks were laid in Radolfzell and Markelfingen in memory of those persecuted during the Nazi era.

today

As a result of the incorporation of six neighboring communities, the number of inhabitants exceeded the limit of 20,000 in the mid-1970s. As a result, the city administration applied for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg decided with effect from January 1, 1975. In 1990 Radolfzell was the federal environmental capital.

Districts of Radolfzell

The districts of Radolfzell also have a long history:

The place belonged to the Reichenau monastery and was subordinate to the Ammannamt Radolfzell from 1420, then to the Habsburg office of Aach and finally to the city of Radolfzell. The sovereignty lay with Austria, the blood jurisdiction with the Landgraves of Nellenburg . In 1805 the place with Radolfzell fell to Württemberg, came to Baden in 1810 and was assigned to the Radolfzell district office.

In the 15th century the lower court belonged to the Lords of Bodman (line to Möggingen), Reichsministeriale der Staufer, and the Blarer family from Constance. The latter sold their property in 1504 to the Lords of Bodman, who sold them to the Lords of Homburg and then bought them back.

Religions

Our Lady Minster in Radolfzell

Radolfzell initially belonged to the diocese of Constance . Not far from the cell founded by Ratold (also Radolf) a church was built, which was consecrated to Saints Senesius and Theopont . In the 11th century Saint Zeno was added. The three city patrons were also called the "hosts". The church was replaced from 1436 to 1550 by today's cathedral, which was dedicated to Our Lady . For centuries this church remained the only parish church in the city that remained Catholic until the 19th century. But there were also some monasteries and chapels. The Franciscan Tertiary Convent of St. Ursula was founded in the 14th century, but it ceased to exist in 1525. The associated chapel was rebuilt in the 17th century, but demolished again in the 19th century. A Capuchin monastery was built in 1625/27 and closed in 1826. The associated church of St. George from 1660 was converted into a residential building. A St. Anna chapel was donated in 1727, another (St. Wolfgang) on ​​the Mettnau was demolished in 1784. A retirement home was later set up in the Heilig-Geist-Spital from 1343.

The parish of Radolfzell came to the newly founded Archdiocese of Freiburg in 1821/27 . Due to a strong increase in the population, the Curatie St. Meinrad was established in 1937 , which received its own church from 1957 to 1959, at which a parish was established in 1964.

There are also Catholic parishes in the Radolfzell districts, which have a long tradition. A Bartholomäus chapel was mentioned in Böhringen as early as 1426, but the original Radolfzell branch was not elevated to the parish of St. Nikolaus until 1728. The current church dates from 1958. The old church from 1730 was included in the vestibule. A church was mentioned in Güttingen in 1155. The parish was probably established as early as the 13th century. Today's St. Ulrich Church was built on older remains in 1795 and expanded from 1884 to 1896 and rebuilt again in the 20th century. A parish was named in Liggeringen in 1360/70. The current parish church of St. Georg was built in the neo-Romanesque style in 1905. The old church, built between 1711 and 1717, serves as the north transept. There has also been a parish in Markelfingen since the 14th century. The parish church of St. Laurentius was built in 1612. The former pilgrimage chapel of St. Anna from the 17th century was converted into a residential building in 1816. The parish there was mentioned in Möggingen in 1275. The parish church of St. Gallus dates from 1749, the interior is neo-Romanesque, the tower was only added in 1839. Stahringen has had its own parish since 1740, but a chapel is mentioned as early as 1482. The current parish church of St. Zeno was built in 1836. All the above-mentioned Catholic parishes belong to the Dean's Office of Constance of the Archdiocese of Freiburg. They form the pastoral care unit St. Radolt Radolfzell.

Protestants also moved to Radolfzell in the 19th century . In 1869 a separate congregation was founded, which was initially looked after by the parish of Singen and then from Stockach. In 1904 Radolfzell became its own parish after a church had been built in 1898. However, this was canceled in 1963. Today's Christ Church was built between 1965 and 1967. Until 1970 the Protestants of today's districts also belonged to the Radolfzell community. But a vicariate was established in Böhringen in 1970 and a separate parish in 1972. The Paul Gerhardt Church was built in 1958. The community of Böhringen also includes the Protestants of the districts of Güttingen, Liggeringen, Markelfingen, Möggingen and Stahringen as well as other neighboring towns. Both Protestant parishes in the Radolfzell urban area belong to the Deanery of Constance of the Evangelical Church in Baden . In addition, there are also parishes of Protestant free churches in Radolfzell , including a United Methodist parish , a Free Protestant community and an Evangelical Free Church community ( Baptists ) in Stahringen.

The Turkish-Islamic community with a mosque has existed in Radolfzell since 1982 .

The Jehovah's Witnesses , the Apostolic Community and the New Apostolic Church are also represented in Radolfzell.
