history

Floor plan of Kilchberg Castle

There are various documents about Kilchberg's first mention; the first dates from the year 1231. The 750-year celebration in 1986 is based on the following fact: In 1236 the Count Palatine Wilhelm von Tübingen married his daughter Adelheid to Kuno von Münzenberg and issued a certificate about it. A Heynrikus de Kirchperc was present as a witness. Historical researchers use this document as the first mention of Kilchberg. In 1261 the name “Lescher” and the spelling “Kilchberg” appear for the first time as successors.

Kilchberg was originally a knightly property and although it had belonged to Württemberg since 1558, the Junker was in charge there in the first half of the 17th century.

On July 1, 1971, Kilchberg was incorporated into the district town of Tübingen and lost its communal independence.

Buildings

The Martinskirche of the Protestant parish ( church district Tübingen ) has a Romanesque tower basement. Other architectural styles can be identified: the nave is late Gothic, the windows and the portal late Baroque, tombs come from the Renaissance, the predella from 1478, the crucifix is ​​probably from the early Gothic period. The choir organ was installed in 1756, its original painting from 1770 has been preserved. The oldest bells in the church date from the 15th century. The well-known architect Paul Schmitthenner , who lived in Kilchberg for a long time, led renovation work on the Martinskirche in 1945 and 1954. The Kilchberg rectory is also responsible for the Protestant Christians in Bühl. In 1998 a parish hall was built there, named after Anna von Stein , the "mother of the Reformation" in Bühl.

The village is affected in the north by the L 370, which connects Tübingen with the large district town of Rottenburg in the west. It was laid on the Kilchberger district parallel to the route of the Tübingen – Horb railway line (Upper Neckar Railway) .

politics

Parish partnership

  • Kilchberg (Switzerland) since 1981. Without a partnership agreement since 1956, when a Kilchberg-Swiss delegation visited Kilchberg near Tübingen for the first time. This contact arose through a rascal story: A 13-year-old schoolboy had sent an advertising slip for the mayor election in Kilchberg near Tübingen without any accompanying letter to the “Mayor's Office in Kilchberg on Lake Zurich”.
