Prehistory and Antiquity

The area around Mengen was already inhabited in prehistoric times. Two late Bronze Age wagon graves with many metal artefacts were found near Mengen . Shortly after the birth of Christ, the Romans built the Ennetach fort on the Ennetacher Berg to protect a trade route that led from the Mediterranean to the Danube. In 70 AD the Romans relocated their now superfluous older Danube line of the Raetian Limes in the direction of the Swabian Alb and Neckar , but continued to settle in Ennetach until around 260. Then they were driven out by the invading Alemanni . These settled in the area and founded many places with the endings " -ingen ", including Me-ingen .

In 1876 the only color mosaic from Roman times that has been preserved in Upper Swabia was found on the site of a former Roman Villa Rustica . It shows the head of the legendary figure Medusa in a medallion as well as remnants of a braided ribbon to which other medallions were originally attached. The remaining parts of the mosaic floor have not been preserved. The Villa Rustica is now completely built over and little researched. Known as the "Medusa of Quantity", the mosaic fragment was thought to be lost since World War II. After it was found in the State Museum of Württemberg in 2002 , it was restored and was on display for a while in the Roman Museum Mengen-Ennetach , but is now on display again as part of the permanent collection of Legendary Masterpieces in the State Museum in Stuttgart.

middle Ages

The area was first mentioned in a document when Emperor Ludwig the Pious bequeathed areas on the Ablach to the Buchau monastery in 819. In 1170 Frederick I Barbarossa stayed in the city for a court day. 1257 was the first time a free quantity ("Vrie Quantity") was documented. The new, today's Mengen was around 1150 and 1250 and arose next to the old Mengen (today Ennetach). The old and new quantities are separated by the ablach. Therefore, in order to distinguish the two places, the old Mengen was called "across the river" ( Ennet alas ).

On March 4, 1276, Mengen received town charter, issued in Augsburg by King Rudolf von Habsburg . Since 1434, Mengen also had the right of blood jurisdiction .

From 1276 to 1805, Mengen was one of the so-called five Danube cities (together with Waldsee , Munderkingen , Riedlingen and Saulgau ) in front of Austria .

The nickname "Fuhrmannsstadt" reminds us that Mengen was an important trading and transport hub in the Middle Ages.

Early modern age

On May 18, 1632, during the Thirty Years' War , Mengen was hard pressed by Swedish troops, but not taken. The residents had called the Mother of God intensively and therefore attributed the salvation of the city from the attacking soldiers to her, which is why the May Festival is celebrated in large numbers every year.

In 1774 there were a total of 23 inns, 21 of which brewed their own beer.

Württemberg time

In 1806, in the Peace of Pressburg , Mengen fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg . It was assigned to the Oberamt Saulgau .

On October 7, 1819, a fire broke out in large quantities in the old town. Many buildings fell victim to the “Great Fire of Quantities”, which was fought with comparably simple means.

In the years from 1870 to 1872 Mengen was connected to the network of the Württemberg State Railroad . In 1895/1896 the city had its own electricity system thanks to its own system, and in 1900 there was plenty of running water.

During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era in 1938, Mengen came to the Bad Saulgau district .

The city was not destroyed in World War II because an American bomber unit could not fly its attack due to a lack of fighter protection. On the airfield quantity Hohentengen was Dornier Do 335 , one of the fastest fighter of World War II, tested.

post war period

In 1945, Mengen became part of the French occupation zone and in 1947 it was assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Quantities changed significantly in the first post-war decades. The medieval town center has been preserved, but many new residential areas have been added. The growth first began in the eastern outskirts to the cemetery and later continued far beyond. A settlement with high-rise buildings was built in the south. Industrial and commercial areas were added on both sides of the railway line, as well as on the southwestern edge of Mengen.

Incorporation and new district membership

The regional reform in Baden-Wuerttemberg also brought some changes for Mengen. On July 1, 1972, Ennetach was incorporated into Mengen. The incorporation of Beuren, Blochingen, Rosna and Rulfingen took place on January 1, 1975. As early as January 1, 1973, Mengen belonged to the Sigmaringen district as part of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg .

Population development

The population of the entire city of Mengen had its all-time high on December 31, 2005 with 10,205 inhabitants. Since then, it has been falling again and has fallen below the 10,000 mark since 2009. Forecasts say the population will drop to 9,660 by 2030.

Town twinning

June 5, 2006 marked the 40th anniversary of the partnership between the city of Mengen and the French city of Boulay-Moselle . This city partnership came about as a result of the mediation of the International Mayors' Union for Franco-German Understanding and European Cooperation in the years 1965 and 1966. Notarized in quantities June 1966.

Another twin town of Mengens has been the Croatian Novska in western Slavonia since 2013 . In 2007, the city of Novska took part in the “Games across borders” for the first time in the framework of Mengen-International due to a private initiative of Croatian citizens. Several mutual visits have taken place since 2007. A town partnership emerged from the friendly relationships. On July 1st, 2013, the day Croatia's accession to the EU, the mayors Stefan Bubeck from Mengen and Vlado Klasan from Novska signed the partnership document.

Ennetach Roman Museum

The city is located on the Upper Swabian Baroque Road and is part of the "Upper Swabian Danube" tourist region.

Museums

  • The Roman Museum Mengen-Ennetach in the district of Ennetach showed from 2001 to 2015 mainly finds from the Roman era , but also from the settlement during the Bronze Age . At the end of 2015, the museum was closed following a municipal council resolution.
  • The local history museum, which was built in a half-timbered building from the 17th century - the former Thurn and Taxis post office - has been renovated for years. The ground floor is currently used for changing exhibitions. The renovation will continue until the entire 800 square meters will be available.

Theater and cabaret

  • In the district of Rulfingen , a former church building has been converted into the cabaret “Old Church Rulfingen”.

Buildings

The traffic-calmed old town of Mengen is characterized by half-timbered houses and several sacred buildings. This is particularly evident through the completely redesigned main road as part of the core city upgrade. The work lasted from the beginning of 2012 to the beginning of 2015.

Churches and chapels

Martin's Church in quantities
Liebfrauenkirche Mengen
  • The Catholic Martinskirche in the city center, Hauptstrasse 68, is dedicated to Saint Martin . Its tower with today's stork's nest looks more like a defensive tower than a church tower. The originally early Gothic version was published in the 11th / 12th centuries. Century built. The church was first mentioned in a document in 1275. It housed its own parish from 1275 to 1805. After a fire in 1819, the church building was about to be demolished, but the residents of Mengen kept the building against the will of the Württemberg authorities. Architecturally, the baroque church is determined by its old tower. The choir ceiling, redesigned in the historicist style, is divided into wooden coffers, the lavishly designed painting with many color gradations, sophisticated stencil painting, gilding and profile strips is around a hundred years old and was restored in 2011. The ceiling is divided into two areas. On the northern side, the cassettes had to be removed in 2008 because they were infected with the wooden sponge.
  • Not far from the Martinskirche is Mengen's second Catholic church building, the Liebfrauenkirche , consecrated to the Mother of God , near the Ablach. It originated in 1290 and was rebuilt in 1604. The Liebfrauenkirche is a Gothic basilica with a three-aisled nave, which was converted to Baroque style in 1742. It is equipped with stucco work and frescoes, the "Place of Grace on the Mount of Olives" (1749), as well as original typical clay figures from the Passion of Christ and Entombment.
  • The Pauluskirche , built in 1957, is the only Protestant church in the city. The evangelical community holds its services there.
  • The (former) St. Ulrich Church in Rulfingen, today known as the Old Church , was built in 1759; the tower dates from the 15th century. The stucco work in the interior was made by Johann Jakob Schwarzmann . The sculptures were made by FM Hop. The church was profaned after a new parish church was built and is now used as a venue for concerts and cabaret shows.
  • The (new) St. Ulrich Church in Rulfingen was consecrated in 1974.
  • The Gothic church of St. Cornelius and Cyprius in the Ennetach district was consecrated in 1491. The choir stalls were made in 1509 by Jörg Syrlin the Younger . The Gothic lace carvings are by Niklaus Weckmann the Elder.
  • The Ennetach Antonius Chapel is a sacred building from the 16th century and was first mentioned in 1541.
  • The chapel in the Beuren district was consecrated in 1908 and belongs to the Hundersingen-Beuren parish.
  • St. Michaels Church in Rosna
  • Above Rosna is the Brother Klaus Chapel, built by the founding family Josef and Erna Kugler . The chapel with the miraculous image of the three times wonderful mother, queen and victor of Schoenstatt, and a bell placed on the chapel roof covered with beaver tails, is dedicated to St. Nicholas von Flüe , also known as "Brother Klaus", as advocate.

Quantum monastery

From 1282 to 1725 there was a Wilhelmitenkloster in Mengen . After the retreat of the Wilhelmites, the "Marienpforte" at Mengen in 1725 was incorporated into the St. Blasien Monastery , a Benedictine monastery in St. Blasien in the southern Black Forest , i.e. the monastery building was sold to St. Blasien. Three to five "St. Blasianer “lived in the Benedictine hospice of the time under a superior who was also the parish priest of St. Martin and provided the service in Rulfingen. In 1735 they sold the monastery to the Petershausen Abbey, only to buy it back in 1773. In the meantime, from 1741 to 1744, the monastery and the associated monastery church had been rebuilt by Peter Thumb in the baroque style. From 1740 to 1773 the "Petershauser" were residents of the religious house in Mengen and administrators of the church maintenance at the chapel in Rulfingen. After the monastery was abolished by the Württemberg authorities in 1806 and the monastery church had to be torn down after a fire in 1810, the monastery building was finally left in 1820 to the city of Mengen, which set up a primary school in it. In 1978, after the new building of the east wing on the place where the monastery church had previously stood, the secondary school moved into the premises of the former monastery.

Others

The oldest building in Mengen: the Kazede, built in 1233
Remains of the city wall
  • The observation tower on the Missionsberg high above Mengen houses a unique exhibition. Six panels, each 1.5 meters wide and 2.9 meters high, form a continuous collage that extends over a good 17 meters in height of the observation tower. They show the development of the earth and the formation and development of humans. But not only geology, biology and technology are discussed, also mental and emotional emotional states. So the tower leads the visitor from the depths with heavy colors and angular shapes upwards and there, with light colors and round shapes, expresses people's longing for “space” for “eternity” and “heaven”. The individual sections of these paths through geological, world and contemporary history are provided with quotes and texts that invite visitors on their ascent or descent to linger or intensively deal with one or the other topic.
  • The Alter Fuchs house , Schwarzadlerstrasse 15 in Mengen, was built after 1276 by Albrecht von Kiburg, the eldest son of King Rudolf von Habsburg. It is said to have had a half tower at the entrance and was surrounded by an enclosed courtyard. The mighty four-storey house, which was incorporated into the southeast corner of the city wall, was built as a quarry stone wall up to a height of eight meters, i.e. the first three floors. The fourth floor consists of half-timbering. Since loopholes were built in at least up to the second floor, the building probably also had the task of strengthening the city wall at this point. The house was rebuilt in 1530 and was named "Westerstettisches Haus" after the owner Dietrich Dieteg von Westerstetten (1527-1532). Owners changed many times, and in 1785 an "Wirtschaft zum Fuchs" was set up, which earned the house the name "Alter Fuchs". Today the building is owned by the city of Mengen, which gradually bought up all the shares in the house. In 1975 the house was thoroughly renovated and since then the daycare center, the municipal library and the adult education center have been in the building. In April 2014, however, the building had to be closed to the public for the time being due to too many structural defects.
  • The town hall was built in 1821 and renovated in 1907 and 2008.
  • The oldest house in town, the Kazede , built in 1233, housed a notary's office until the 2010s.
  • Partly preserved, medieval city wall.

  • Vigilante groups with Captain Georg Bacher, home days in Mengen

  • Vigilante groups in front of the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin 2016

Vigilante guard

The Bürgerwache Mengen is a traditional association. The civil guard has its origins with the town elevation in 1276, when every citizen was obliged to help build the fortifications and to provide protection and defense against sieges and looting. After the Thirty Years War, the vigilante groups only had representative tasks that symbolically reminded of the time of active protection. After 1806 they were even banned, but were soon allowed to regroup. It is shaped by the idea of ​​protection; it has never become aggressively militant. According to the slogan "God - Home - Fatherland", the vigilante guard only appears at festivals today. The annual highlight is the march on May Day. Here the civil guard performs a serenade with the “Big Zapfenstreich” the evening before, followed by a solemn procession through the city on Sunday. The armed forces with their 150 soldiers also move out on the third Saturday in January on their anniversary, Corpus Christi and memorial day and also move out abroad in the public interest.

Regular events

In addition to the traditional May Festival, Mengen is primarily known for its home days . These take place every four years and the entire city deals with its history for four days. In addition to the big tattoo by the vigilante guard, the home days include a craft market, a historical pageant and the Monday children's festival, where the children from the schools and kindergartens from the city and suburbs march through the city in colorful decorations.
