history

Leonhard's Church

The dean's office Degerloch goes back to the dean's office for the Stuttgart district office , which was separated from the city dean's office in Stuttgart in 1819. The seat of the dean was initially a church in Stuttgart-Mitte, usually the office of the dean for Stuttgart office was connected with the office of the first pastor at the Leonhardskirche (so until 1919), then the seat of the dean's office after Plieningen and Finally moved to Degerloch in 1938. The Dean's office was announced by the Evang. Consistory of September 9, 1921 connected with the first pastor's office in Plieningen (this regulation came into force with the new appointment of the Dean's office in Plieningen on September 7, 1921; meanwhile a representative had been in charge of official business) The deanery district Stuttgart-Amt was renamed accordingly to the deanery Plieningen. The Deanery Stuttgart Office or Plieningen, later Degerloch, belonged initially to the Ludwigsburg Generalate and from 1933 to the Stuttgart Prelature.

The dean's office for the Stuttgart office or the Plieningen dean's office comprised all parishes of the Stuttgart office. From 1901, most of the municipalities of the Stuttgart District Office were incorporated into the city of Stuttgart until it was finally abolished in 1938. Nevertheless, the Plieningen dean's office, now Degerloch's dean's office, remained responsible for the parishes. It changed its boundaries several times. The Feuerbach parish moved from the Plieningen parish to the Cannstatt parish with effect from April 1, 1922. With effect from April 1, 1939, the parish of Heumaden was also reclassified to the church district of Cannstatt and the parish of Kaltental to the church district of Stuttgart. After 1942, i.e. after the last incorporation of the city of Stuttgart, the Degerloch dean's office mainly comprised parishes of the city of Stuttgart, but in the south it extended beyond the city limits of Stuttgart. With effect from April 1, 1947, the parish of Heumaden was reclassified from the Cannstatt church district to the Degerloch church district. Sillenbuch was also reclassified here from Cannstatt. By the announcement of the upper church council on July 15, 1965, the parish of Scharnhausen was reclassified to the parish of Esslingen and in 1981 the remaining parishes of the parish of Degerloch that did not belong to the city of Stuttgart were separated. At that time, with effect from January 1, 1981, the parishes of Waldenbuch and Steinenbronn were assigned to the parish of Böblingen and from the parishes in the three large district towns of Leinfelden-Echterdingen , Filderstadt , Ostfildern , (three of which belonged to the parish of Esslingen) and the parish of Neuhausen auf den Fildern (Church district Nürtingen) the new church district Bernhausen was formed. Since then, the church district of Degerloch has only included parishes in the city of Stuttgart. In the city of Stuttgart, however, there were three other church districts in addition to the church district Degerloch, Stuttgart , Bad Cannstatt and Zuffenhausen . In order to create a unified church system within the city limits of Stuttgart, the "Evangelical City Association Stuttgart" was founded in 1983, to which the four Stuttgart church districts belonged. The city association met once a year for a large gathering. The parishes and diaconal institutions in the city of Stuttgart (e.g. the "Evangelical Society" and the "House of the Family") were represented with a seat and vote. The city association was headed by an elected chairman, who was one of the four deans (since 1999 it was city dean Hans-Peter Ehrlich). On January 1, 2008, the four church districts and the Stuttgart city association were merged into a single church district of Stuttgart .

Head of the church district

The church district was headed by the district synod , the church district committee (KBA) and the dean . The last dean since 2000 was Wolfgang Röhl, who is also one of the pastors at the Michaelskirche in Stuttgart-Degerloch . He continues to be dean of the Degerloch deanery district within the Stuttgart church district.
