history
Until the 19th century
Traces of settlement before the Middle Ages can be traced back to the Neolithic , Celtic and Roman times . Alemannic row cemeteries prove the existence of three settlements from the migration period in the city area.
Even if the first documented mention of Kirchheim dates back to 960 , the place certainly goes back to the Alemannic period of the 6th – 7th centuries. Century back. Possibly the existing settlement emerged in the course of Christianization as a consolidation of the existing old settlements together with the church consecrated to Saint Martin.
In 960, in a swap from the Diocese of Chur , Kirchheim came into the possession of the later Emperor Otto I. In the middle of the 11th century, the market rights and the existence of a royal mint were handed down.
The place was owned by the Dukes of Zähringen and passed from them to their sidelines in 1186, the Dukes of Teck . These, mentioned since 1252, carried the duke title more as a family name than as a rulership title. Between 1220 and 1230 they raised the market settlement to a city under Freiburg law. In 1240, Duke Ludwig I von Teck founded the Kirchheim convent. Duke Konrad II of Teck ordered the construction of a city wall in 1270.
In a lengthy process from 1303 to 1386, Kirchheim came to Württemberg from the Dukes of Teck via Austria due to economic difficulties . The city became the seat of a Württemberg office, which rose to become an upper office in the late 18th century . After Duke Ulrich's return , Kirchheim was expanded into the Württemberg state fortress from 1539, while the ducal castle and the old house were built at the same time. Today's appearance is shaped by the reconstruction after the devastating city fire of 1690. In addition to the castle, only the buildings “Max-Eyth-Haus” (Max-Eyth-Straße 15) and “Altes Haus” (Dettinger Straße 2) from the time before the city fire have been preserved. The Kirchheim town hall was moved from the area of today's market square to its current position during the reconstruction.
While the nobility of the Teck rule played a leading role in the city government in the 14th century , the rise of the bourgeoisie brought an economic boom, especially in the textile industry and in the textile trade. From these beginnings, the textile industry developed in the 18th century.
19th century
After the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806, the Oberamt Kirchheim remained in existence and experienced a slight increase in territory as part of the new administrative structure of Württemberg . The wool market established in 1819 gave the Kirchheim textile industry a supraregional importance. This led to the further settlement of dye works and textile companies, and ultimately also companies in the metal industry. In 1864 Kirchheim was connected to the first private railway in Württemberg, the Unterboihingen – Kirchheim line .
20th century
In 1934 the Oberamt Kirchheim was renamed the Kirchheim district. In the administrative reform of 1938, the district fell to the Nürtingen district .
After the Second World War, the population of the city increased significantly due to the immigration of refugees and displaced persons. In 1948, the city's population exceeded the limit of 20,000, and when the Baden-Württemberg municipal code came into force on April 1, 1956, it was legally granted the status of a major district town .
Kirchheim unter Teck has been part of the Esslingen district since the district reform in 1973 . In 1974 the neighboring communities of Nabern and Jesingen were incorporated. With that the city reached its present size.
Denominations
The population of Kirchheim unter Teck originally belonged to the Diocese of Constance and was subordinate to the Archdiakonat circa alpes, Landkapitel Kirchheim. Since the city belonged to Württemberg early on , the Reformation was introduced here from 1535 by Duke Ulrich . Therefore, Kirchheim unter Teck was a predominantly Protestant town for centuries. At that time, the city became the seat of a deanery (see church district Kirchheim unter Teck ), whose deanery church is the Martinskirche. The parish of Kirchheim unter Teck grew strongly , especially after the Second World War, as a result of immigration and was therefore divided. The Christ parish (church from 1909), the Kreuzkirche parish (church from 1956), the Thomas parish (church from 1967) and the resurrection parish (church from 1972) were created. Together with the parish of Ötlingen (own parish since 1834) and the Matthäuskirchengemeinde Lindorf (church built in 1961, formerly part of Kirchheim, then part of Ötlingen), these five parishes of the core town form the Evangelical overall parish of Kirchheim unter Teck. The Reformation was also introduced in the districts of Jesingen and Nabern as a result of their early affiliation to Württemberg. That is why there is a Protestant parish and a church in each of these two districts. All Protestant parishes in the Kirchheim city area belong to the Deanery Kirchheim unter Teck within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
There have been Catholics in Kirchheim unter Teck only since the late 19th century. Their own St. Ulrich church was built for them in 1910. The parish also includes the districts of Ötlingen and Lindorf, as well as some neighboring parishes. In 1967 a second church, Maria Königin, was built in Kirchheim unter Teck, whose parish also includes the Catholics from Jesingen and Nabern and some neighboring parishes. Both Kirchheim parishes now form pastoral care unit 5 within the Esslingen-Nürtingen deanery of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches and congregations in Kirchheim unter Teck , including the United Methodist Church , the Evangelical Free Church Congregation ( Baptists ) and the Seventh-day Adventist Church . The New Apostolic Church is also represented in Kirchheim unter Teck.

- ↑ a b The honorary citizenship of Messrs. Murr and Mergenthaler was granted during the time of National Socialism and expired after their death in 1945 and 1980 respectively. Had this not happened, the municipal council would have revoked the honorary citizenship in 2007 by unanimous decision. On December 12, 2007, the municipal council made a conscious decision to keep Murr and Mergenthaler in the list of honorary citizens. It was the will of the municipal council that in the present and for the future it should be kept in mind that in times of National Socialism politically opportune decisions were also made in Kirchheim in order to please those in power at the time. Some communities have revoked honorary citizenship of the Third Reich as a symbolic act in the last decades. Kirchheim unter Teck deliberately takes a different approach so as not to erase the events of the Third Reich from memory.
