Kreenheinstetten (local: Grẽåhõẽschdeddå) is a district of the municipality Leibertingen in the district of Sigmaringen ( Baden-Württemberg ).

geography

Geographical location

Kreenheinstetten is 793  m above sea level. NN on the Middle Flächenalb middle of the nature park Upper Danube and has a district area of 1,588 hectares (as at 31 December 2010). The village is located around 3.1 kilometers northeast of the core town of Leibertingen.

structure

In the east of the district is the Reinstetten desert . Today only a field name reminds of the village, which was mentioned in 1390 .

history

Finds from the five burial mounds in the Gewann "Straßenhau", a piece of forest between Kreenheinstetten and Langenhart , which date back to the Hallstatt period (800 to 450 BC), indicate that there was probably a Celtic settlement in the current area . In addition, a Roman road leads past the village.

It is not possible to say exactly when today's Kreenheinstetten was built; the relaxed floor plan suggests at least two settlement centers. According to Alemannic row graves found in two different places in the local area, the establishment of the settlement can be attributed to the early medieval expansion.

The name "Kreenheinstetten" is still not clearly interpreted: The first documentary mention of Kreenheinstetten under the name of Hohunsteti probably comes from the year 793 from a deed of donation from Count Berthold to the Benedictine monastery of St. Gallen after Alemannia was incorporated into the Franconian Empire . In 1276 a Honstetin (= too high?) ​​Is mentioned. The prefix “Krayen” only seems to have been added at the beginning of the 12th century. Perhaps "Kreen" comes from "Grune" (= high-altitude site), or from "crows", because the lords of high crows are said to have owned the place once. It is not certain whether the family of Werner von Hohenstetn, mentioned in 1264, had their seat in the village or in nearby Heinstetten . Kreenheinstetten is only mentioned in modern times .

It is likely that an earlier local rule was incumbent on the Lords of Wagenburg, whose ancestral castle, today's ruins of Wagenburg or Lägelen, was located on the "castle rock" around three kilometers north of the village ( - location). It is certain that the village, together with Falkenstein Castle, which has now passed away, came from the Counts of Lupfen as a fief in 1367 to the von Magenbuch family. In 1390 Albrecht von Magenbuch sold the village, the castle and the associated lordship to Heinrich von Bubenhofen. The lords of Bubenhofen made the place a fiefdom in the second half of the 15th century. World icon

In 1445 knight Jos Sürheffel von Buchhorn was in feud with Hans von Bubenhofen. The former had the whole of Heinstetten looted and set on fire. The Rottweilers came to the aid of their fellow citizens Conrad and Hans von Bubenhofen and took the perpetrator and his people prisoner. Sürheffel was sentenced to death in a court held against him in Sigmaringen. However, he had the pity of high ladies who interceded with the Lords of Bubenhofen. They gave him his life, but on the condition that he made an original speech , not to do anything against them in the future and to make a payment to them and to the Heinstetter.

The Counts of Lupfen sold Kreenheinstetten with the reign of Falkenstein in 1519 to the Counts of Zimmer . After the Counts of Zimmer died out, the village came to the Counts of Helfenstein in 1549 and to the Counts of Fürstenberg in 1627 .

In the 16th and 17th centuries, high jurisdiction was divided between the county of Sigmaringen and the rule of Gutenstein . Fürstenberg was entitled to all count rights within the village, as well as the lower court and tax and military sovereignty.

The Lords of Fürstenberg, the Princes of Hohenzollern and the Archdukes of Austria exercised their influence until 1800 . The population had a very good connection to Austria, whereas Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was considered a foreign country at that time. On May 5, 1800, a battle between French and Austrian troops took place near Meßkirch . In 1806 the Fürstenberg Oberamt Meßkirch and thus Kreenheinstetten became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden .

On February 1, 1900, Kreenheinstetten was connected to the water supply. The water is still pumped up by the Danube today . The First World War also claimed great victims in this small village. 45 young men remained in the war, which was about 15 percent of the population. It was not until July 1920 that Kreenheinstetten was connected to the power supply. In 1936 the village belonged to the district office , from 1939 to the Stockach district . The Second World War brought many victims again, the village had to mourn over 60 dead and missing.

The Stockach district was dissolved during the Baden-Württemberg district reform in 1973 and Kreenheinstetten was assigned to the Sigmaringen district on January 1, 1973 . At festivities, however, the Badnerlied is still played and the Baden flag is hoisted.

As part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , the previously independent municipality of Kreenheinstetten was incorporated into Leibertingen on January 1, 1975.

Population development

While the town still had 531 inhabitants on June 6, 1961, 632 inhabitants are now registered (as of January 1, 2014).

Buildings

Gasthaus Zur Traube , the birthplace of Abraham a Sancta Clara
  • The Catholic Parish Church of St. Michael
  • The Gasthof Zur Traube looks back on a rich historical past. In this house in 1644 the later Augustinian barefoot monk Abraham a Sancta Clara was born as the eighth child of an innkeeper. Until the 20th century, the Traube estate was primarily a stately farm with extensive property. Numerous secondary uses were carried out, including a schnapps distillery and a kindergarten; during World War II the cellar served as an air raid shelter for the population. Through several conversions and renovations over the years, the rustic village inn was transformed into a country inn and guesthouse.
  • On August 15, 1910, on Assumption of Mary, a bronze statue was unveiled in honor of the 200th year of the death of Abraham a Sancta Clara in his birthplace Kreenheinstetten in the churchyard south of the parish church of St. Michael. The larger than life statue was made on August 12, 1909 by the sculptor Franz Xaver Marmon from Sigmaringen and bears the facial features of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . Before that, the model made by Marmon was approved by the committee on March 3, 1910 and then galvanoplastically presented by the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik in Geislingen . The base with a walled-in certificate of dedication was made by master stonemason Johann Waibel from Krauchenwies according to Marmar’s design. It was placed south of the church on August 8, 1910. The size of the bust and the monument in general were made dependent on the result of a collection published in the Hohenzollerische Volks-Zeitung on April 22, 1909.
  • In addition, a number of courtyards have been preserved in their original size and design. These impressive half-timbered buildings still bear witness to rural property and pride, as well as craftsmanship.
  • There are twelve registered small monuments in the district:
    • Two field chapels, such as B. the Wendelinus chapel (also called Käppele ) in Thalweg.
    • Ten field and field crosses, such as B. the Marx cross in the win "Im Aispen".
