history

Early history

In 1320 the village of Leiberstung was first mentioned as "Leiboltzdung". This name later changed to "Leibolds Tung", until the toponym Leiberstung was at the end of the development. The origin of the name “Leibolds Tung” points to a Flemish foundation. The Flemish word “Donk”, which then became “Tung” in the linguistic usage at the time, describes elevations in the Central Baden swamp and riverside area that served as arable land.

Settlements named after the names of the respective ancestors or founders were built on the highest elevations. From the writings it can also be deduced that in Leiberstung, in the alder forest southwest of the village in the direction of Schwarzach, there was formerly a moated castle. This is indicated by the treatises on the nobility and knighthood resident at that time, as well as the names for the moated or deep castle. The former location of the moated castle can still be reconstructed using the names of the districts . In the community forest, for example, you will find the district “Burgstadten”, not far from there the name “Rittermatte” also refers to the former lords of the castle.

It originally belonged to the margraviate of Baden and thus from an ecclesiastical point of view to the area of ​​the Steinbacher parish. Since the Thirty Years War , however, Leiberstung had been cared for by the Schwarzach Abbey , which was closer. So the affiliation came politically to the margraviate, but ecclesiastically to the parish of Schwarzach. In the year 1405, the noble servant Hans von Bach was enfeoffed with a quarter of the mortgage by the then margrave Bernhard von Baden . Other parts of the body were fiefs of the Lords of Bosenstein and the Abbot of Schwarzach. Various brand names, such as “Abtsmoor”, still bear witness to this today. Over the years, other parts of Leiberstung became fiefdoms of those of Bach, so that by 1441 three quarters of the village of Leiberstung was fiefdom of the Bach lords. The last quarter was enfeoffed to Hans von Bosenstein. Due to the size of the von Bach fiefdom, this offspring was decisive for the further development of body salvation.

The coat of arms of the Lords of Bach, who had their ancestral seat in Kappelwindeck (belonging to the large district town of Bühl), was described in the scriptures as a fool's cap or ram's horn. Due to various developments in the village, traditions and the resulting misunderstandings about the destination, this symbol erroneously became a half-moon face, which can still be found in the coat of arms today. What is curious about this is the fact that the coat of arms of the neighboring town also has this symbol of the moon, but with different colors.

District and territorial reform

On January 1, 1973, the formerly independent community of Leiberstung became a suburb of Sinzheim. There were two options for body relief, either incorporation in Schwarzach or in Sinzheim. Even before the incorporation, the Sinzheim district of Schiftung and the municipality of Leiberstung had a joint water supply. So contracts and agreements with Sinzheim already existed beforehand. On February 27, 1972, the final course was set in a referendum. With a turnout of 60%, over 70% were in favor of merging with Sinzheim.

The incorporation contract based on the local constitution guaranteed the new sub-town rights from its former independence. Responsibilities were regulated in the main statute of the municipality of Sinzheim. The most important passage in the contract were the additional agreements - conditions that the municipality of Sinzheim had to meet. These included the “expansion of public drainage in the separation system with the construction of a collective sewage treatment plant”, “creation of a fire-fighting equipment room”, “implementation of development measures in the“ Dorfacker ”building area and various other things. Freedom and the preservation of them were also important for the dying of the body cultural institutions.

Church history

Parish Church of St. Wendelinus

At the southern exit of the village there was a wooden chapel which was used by the starving for the rosary. This is also evidenced by the finds of bones in this century. In the chaos of war between 1696 and 1710, this chapel and part of the village were burned down. In 1713 a stone church was built in the middle of the village at the current location of the village church. This little church was a thorn in the side of the management of the Schwarzach Abbey at that time, it initially prevented the inauguration, so that the church could not be consecrated to St. Wendelin until 1728 . Today the parish “St. Wendelin Leiberstung "with the parish" St. Martin Sinzheim “has a joint parish council and belongs to the pastoral care unit Sinzheim-Hügelsheim.

The church, which was completely renovated in the 1970s, the old town hall and schoolhouse (demolished in the first half of 2000 as part of a local development measure) formed the focal point of the street village of Leiberstung for many years, which is also known as "Wendlinusdorf" beyond the district boundaries.

Economy and trade

For centuries, the main livelihood for body deaths was agriculture. Tobacco, grain, beets, cucumbers and potatoes were mainly grown. But the dairy industry and pig breeding also contributed to the economic development of the village. Little is left of this today. Like many villages in rural areas, the number of farms in Leiberstung has decreased to a minimum. By maintaining the village character and structure, the village was awarded a silver medal at the 18th state competition Our village should be beautiful .
