structure

In addition to the eponymous town of Ailingen, the town of Ailingen includes the districts of Berg (an independent municipality between 1825 and 1937, to which the settlements and farms Holzhof, Jägerhaus, Kappelhof, Köstenbach, Langenloch and Weiler an der Ach belonged), Bunkhofen, Hagendorn, Ittenhausen , Unterraderach , Lochenried, Oberailingen, Oberlottenweiler , Reinach, Unterailingen, Unterlottenweiler , Weilermühle, Wiggenhausen, and the farms Buchholz, Höhler, Martinshof, Waldacker, Wolfenhof.

history

Ailingen was first mentioned in a document on March 20, 774 in a deed of donation from a priest named Hymmo to the St. Gallen monastery as "villa ailingas". The document also lists a court located there. At that time, Ailingen already owned a parish, to which the church in Ettenkirch also belonged. In 873 the population of Ailingens was given as around 100.

The Löwental Monastery

From 1198 onwards, the Counts of Habsburg were employers of the local nobility and owners of the church, which Rudolf and his brother Gottfried gave to the Dominican monastery in Löwental on July 10, 1260 . In 1326 it was finally incorporated into the monastery . In the following period there were numerous disputes between the local population and the monastery, for example about the pastor's remuneration.

Ailingen belonged to the Grafschaft Heiligenberg until 1475/76 . After that it was administered by the Fischbach-Hagendorn office of the Upper Austrian Bailiwick of Swabia until 1805 and formed a community with Fischbach . With the Peace of Pressburg in 1805 it came to the Kingdom of Württemberg . Until 1825, Ailingen formed the Hagendorn community together with Berg and other residential areas (e.g. Allmannsweiler). Finally, Ailingen was separated from the Berg in 1825 and became an independent municipality that belonged to the Tettnang District Office (description from 1838) (renamed Tettnang District in 1934). In 1937 Berg was incorporated back into Ailingen. During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Ailingen came to the newly outlined Friedrichshafen district in 1938 , which was again called Tettnang district from 1945 onwards.

In the post-war period the place was part of the French occupation zone , from 1949 until the founding of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 it belonged to the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern . In 1971, Ailingen celebrated its 1200th anniversary and was incorporated into Friedrichshafen on December 1st of that year . With Friedrichshafen in 1973 it came to the newly formed Lake Constance district . In 1974 Ailingen was given the title “State Recognized Resort”.

In 1999 the population exceeded the 7000 limit.

coat of arms

In 1930, the Württemberg State Archives proposed an Ailingen coat of arms for the first time , which should primarily relate to the topic of fruit growing. The fruit-growing business was taken up in turn by the Danzigmann company, a private company for heraldic art. However, the municipal administration rejected both coats of arms. After the search for a coat of arms of previous local lords was unsuccessful, a coat of arms with the following blazon was created at the suggestion of the district office :

In a split shield in front in silver (white) a downward-facing green apple tree branch with two red apples, behind in green a silver (white) church tower with a stepped gable.

This coat of arms indicates the extensive fruit growing, which is still one of the main sources of income today, and the local church, which in the past played an essential role for the surrounding area. On December 7, 1961, the Ministry of the Interior granted the municipality the right to use this coat of arms and the green and white flag .

politics

Influence of the districts

The residents of the village of Ailingen take part in the municipal council elections of Friedrichshafen. The municipal council election took place up to the municipal elections in 2004 according to the system of bogus local election . With a resolution of the municipal council in 2007, the bogus local election in Friedrichshafen and thus also for the town of Ailingen for the local election in 2009 was abolished. The spurious choice of suburbs within the village was also abolished for the Berg district at this time. A full-time mayor and the local council, who are elected every 5 years, represent the interests of the citizens of Ailingen towards the city of Friedrichshafen.

Buildings

St. Johann Baptist
  • The parish church of St. Johannes Baptist was donated to the Löwental Monastery by Rudolf and Gottfried von Habsburg and incorporated into it in 1326. The lower part of the church tower probably dates from the 14th century. When the church was rebuilt around 1500, it was increased to its current height of 42 m. In 1625 the nave was enlarged, and in 1626 the rosary chapel was added. Pastor Paul Martin (1704–1735) donated a radiation monstrance in 1729 ( Augsburg work). In 1789 Andreas Brugger created the ceiling fresco "Maria Intercessor of Threatened Humanity" in the Rosary Chapel. In 1958/59 the old nave and choir of the church had to give way to a new, larger church building that included the tower and rosary chapel of the previous building. A neo-Gothic high altar by Anselm Sickinger was removed, and parts that were preserved were placed again later.
  • The Haldenberg Chapel was built on the Haldenberg in 1921 as a war memorial chapel for those who fell in the First World War . The building material was used by the former Marienkapelle von der Reinachmühle. In addition to the “Star in the Sea of ​​Life” mosaic by Kurt Zöller (Miltenberg), the modern Way of the Cross (also Zöller) and the Pietà (1893) are worth seeing. The in the conservation area Haldenberg lying vantage point at the chapel offers a beautiful distant view of Lake Constance and the Alps.
  • Furthermore, half-timbered buildings such as the Berger house in Oberlottenweiler and the old rectory , as well as the parish church of St. Nikolaus in Berg are worth seeing.

Economy and Infrastructure

Ailingen was dominated by agriculture until after the Second World War , in 1983 10% of the population was still active in the agricultural sector. Several residential areas have emerged outside of the still rural-looking town center. In addition to agriculture, tourism has established itself as a source of secondary income since the 1960s. Ailingen has been a state-approved resort since 1974, which, thanks to its proximity to the city of Friedrichshafen with its central location on Lake Constance and the rural surroundings in the "Obstgarten am Bodensee", is particularly suitable as a vacation spot for families and is currently also rated family vacation in Baden-Württemberg excellent.
