Kochersteinsfeld is a district of Hardthausen am Kocher in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Kochersteinsfeld is located in the east of the Heilbronn district in the lower Kochertal on the southern edge of the Harthäuser Forest .
The Buchhof and Schweizerhof farms belong to Kochersteinsfeld . Lost and no longer existing places on the Kochersteinsfeld mark are Hertrichshausen and Katzbronn.
history
Kochersteinsfeld was named like the neighboring Gochsen in a certificate from Emperor Otto III. first mentioned on December 18, 996. In the high Middle Ages, the place was an imperial fief of the Lords of Dürn . In 1253, Boppo von Dürn exchanged a third of the tithe as well as his farm and its accessories in Kochersteinsfeld with the Gnadental monastery for property in Adelsheim . In the 14th century, the lordship of the place lay with the lords of Weinsberg , who gave the goods on site to various nobles, before the castle and village in 1385 to Fürderer von Waldeck, in 1405 to the lords of Helmstatt , and in 1428 to Swicker and Ludwig von Sickingen Pledged to Weiprecht von Helmstatt in 1431. In 1440 Kochersteinsfeld came with Neuenstadt am Kocher to the Electoral Palatinate and after the conquest of Neuenstadt by Duke Ulrich in 1504 to Württemberg . With the Reformation in Württemberg in the 16th century, the place was also reformed. Until 1822, the ducal hunting lodge in Kochersteinsfeld was the seat of the Württemberg forestry master of the Neuenstadt forest. In 1824 the castle and the Schweizerhof estate came to the banker Johannes von Müller.
From 1913 to 1993 the Untere Kochertalbahn operated Bad Friedrichshall - Ohrnberg as a private railway of the Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (WEG) Kochersteinsfeld. The tracks were gradually dismantled until the beginning of 2006 in order to open the route for a cycle path on the route.
In 1939 there were 682 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 785. On January 1, 1974, Gochsen and Kochersteinsfeld voluntarily merged to form the new municipality of Hardthausen am Kocher. On January 1, 1975, the municipality of Lampoldshausen was added through the Municipal Reform Act.
Religions
The patronage right of the church in Kochersteinsfeld originally belonged to the Amorbach monastery and was sold in 1281 to the Lords of Weinsberg, who in turn sold it together with the church to the Möckmühl monastery in 1432. The parish in Kochersteinsfeld originally included the subsidiary communities in Gochsen and Lampoldshausen, which were raised to independent communities in 1315 and 1485, respectively. Since the Reformation in Württemberg in the 16th century, the place has been predominantly evangelical and therefore has its own Evangelical parish Kochersteinsfeld in the Weinsberg-Neuenstadt church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg to this day .
There are congregations in Neuenstadt am Kocher for Catholics, New Apostolic Christians and Jehovah's Witnesses.
coat of arms
The blazon of the former coat of arms of Kochersteinsfeld reads: In blue over two silver corrugated beams a three-arched silver bridge, over the middle arch a floating silver stone.
Attractions
- The oldest part of the Evangelical Church is a tower base built around 1200 with the remains of a tower choir that was used as a bell room for centuries. According to a date on the round-arched west portal in 1733, the nave was extended considerably to the south as a hall church with an almost square floor plan, which also shifted the spatial axis and the roof ridge to the south in relation to the tower. The large room height with six high arched windows, two baroque oculi in the west facade and a flat ceiling with medallion painting served to build a double west gallery, which is why the pulpit had to be installed very high. Since the addition of a new sacristy on the south side of the tower in 1854, it has provided access to the pulpit. In the further 19th century there were several renovations and the installation of a tower clock and heating. Several historical epitaphs have been preserved in and on the church, including several from the ducal-Württemberg forestry masters, as well as two fallen memorials from both world wars. During the extensive renovation in 1954, the old small tower choir was bricked up except for a door to create a closed room effect. On the former choir arch wall is the pulpit , the ornate sound cover from 1733 is crowned by a sculpture of the risen Christ. The pulpit is flanked by a wall painting with the parable of the clever and foolish virgins , which the Stuttgart art professor Rudolf Yelin the Younger created on the occasion of the renovation in 1954. The bronze altar crucifix below the pulpit comes from the workshop of the sculptor Martin Scheible from Ulm. The 18th century apostle paintings on the balustrades adorn the church interior again after restoration. A church organ was built in 1820 as the first instrument by the Walcker organ building workshop in Ludwigsburg and modernized in 1902 at Link in Giengen. It is now located in the Ludwigsburg residential palace . On the north side of the portal there, a flat roof extension with a foyer and ancillary rooms was built in 2010/13 and a gallery emergency exit was built into the east north window below. Adjacent is the rectory built in 1789 .
- The town hall was built in 1808 as the Hirsch Gasthaus by Carl Ludwig and Christiana Sophie Kachel, whose initials CLK and CSK still adorn the portal. The tile held the mayor's office several times. In 1846 the community acquired the building and used it as a school and town hall as a replacement for older buildings. After the unification of Kochersteinsfeld, Gochsen and Lampoldshausen to Hardthausen, the Kochersteinsfeld town hall became the town hall of the entire community. It was renovated from 1991 to 1994.
- The former Kochersteinsfeld Castle was used as refugee accommodation after the Second World War and was no longer preserved, so that it was demolished in the 1970s due to dilapidation.
- To the north-east of the village and partly already on the border of the neighboring village Möglingen , there is the landscape protection area "Alte Burg - Altenberg und Klingenberg". Remnants of walls are still preserved from the old castle that gave it its name , a former seat of the Kochersteinsfeld rulers.
