Trochtelfingen is a town on the Swabian Alb in the Reutlingen district in Baden-Württemberg, about 25 km south of the district town of Reutlingen .
geography
Trochtelfingen lies in the valley of the Seckach river . This flows south of the city into the Lauchert .
Neighboring communities
The following towns and communities border the town of Trochtelfingen ( clockwise , starting in the north): Engstingen , Hohenstein , Pfronstetten , Gammertingen , Burladingen and Sonnenbühl . They include up to Gammertingen ( district Sigmaringen ) and Burladingen ( Zollernalbkreis ) for the district of Reutlingen .
City structure
The city consists of five districts: Hausen, Mägerkingen with the castle stables Burg Hielock , Steinhilben, Trochtelfingen and Wilsingen. The districts are officially named in the form "Trochtelfingen- ...". The hamlet of Haid is located within the district of Trochtelfingen in front of the municipal area reform in Baden-Württemberg and borders the municipality of Engstingen in the north , the Trochtelfingen district consists of the district of Trochtelfingen before the municipal area reform without the hamlet of Haid, the remaining districts are spatially identical to the Independent municipalities of the same name until the municipal area reform. In Trochtelfingen, the municipal council is elected according to the system of false suburbs, the districts therefore form constituencies known as residential districts. In the four districts of Hausen, Mägerkingen, Steinhilben and Wilsingen, localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code have been set up with their own local council and mayor as its chairman.
The Hausen district includes the village of Hausen and the Lauchertmühle houses; the other districts only include the hamlets, villages of the same name and the core town of Trochtelfingen.
In the urban area there are several abandoned , no longer existing villages and castles; the place Wettishausen in the Steinhilben district west of the road to Meidelstetten in today's Flur Wettlinghausen, probably originated in the 14th century, was mentioned in 1379 and 1477 as Wetißhusen . In the north of the city of Trochtelfingen, before the municipal reform, is the abandoned Haideck Castle , which was destroyed in 1311. A little north of the city center, in the Eidlingen corridor, lies the Nidlingen or Ridlingen desert. The village, mentioned in 1369 as Ridlingen and 1421 as Nidlingen , was probably abandoned after the city was founded. In the corridor Aufhöfen in the west is the lost place Uffhofen.
history
Until the 19th century
The area around Trochtelfingen had been settled for a very long time. In 2007, Celtic graves were found during excavation work . The name Trochtelfingen suggests that the oldest settlement layer in the area was founded by the early Manor and that a personal name was associated with it. This first village can be presumed below the church on the Seckach. Trochtelfingen was first mentioned in a document in 1161 as Truhdolvingin .
From 1182 to 1219 Count Palatine Rudolf von Tübingen was Lord of Trochtelfingen. Ownership changed from the Count Palatine of Tübingen via the Count of Gammertingen to the Count of Hohenberg . Finally the city came to Württemberg in 1310 . In 1316 Count Eberhard I. Trochtelfingen bequeathed his daughter Agnes and his son-in-law Count Heinrich von Werdenberg -Trochtelfingen-Sigmaringen. In 1534 the rule of Anna von Werdenberg, the mother of Count Joachim , passed to the Counts and later princes of Fürstenberg . With the mediation in 1806, the Trochtelfingen rule became part of the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . In 1850 Trochtelfingen became part of the Hohenzollern Lands and became Prussian. Until 1861 it was the seat of the Hohenzollern Upper Bailiwick Office in Trochtelfingen . Subsequently, Trochtelfingen belonged to the Oberamt Gammertingen .
20th and 21st centuries
When the Oberamt Gammertingen was dissolved in 1925, Trochtelfingen became part of the Sigmaringen district . The town charter was revoked in 1883 and was re-awarded in 1952.
During the time of National Socialism , Trochtelfingen was one of five camps of the female Reich Labor Service (RAD) in what was then the district of Sigmaringen.
In 1972 Trochtelfingen was assigned to the Reutlingen district . However, the current district Wilsingen belonged to the district reform Baden-Wuerttemberg in 1973 for district Münsingen and came from there to the Reutlinger circle. Hausen an der Lauchert and Mägerkingen, on the other hand, were already part of the Reutlingen district. The suburb of Steinhilben, which like Trochtelfingen belonged to the district of Sigmaringen before the district reform, appears on November 1, 1247 on a document from the knight of Wurmlingen .
In the 1970s and 1980s, Trochtelfingen underwent urban redevelopment. A final section will be completed in 2015 with the renovation of Marktstrasse.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "Split of red and silver, in front a pole-like (erect) golden stag pole, behind a Latin black cross with toe curved to the right." |
| Justification for the coat of arms: The golden stag on a red background indicates that the three places Hausen, Mägerkingen and Wilsingen belonged to the former state of Württemberg and at the same time reminds us that Trochtelfingen itself was briefly under the rule of the House of Württemberg at the beginning of the 14th century . The colors silver and black come from the fact that the Steinhilben and Trochtelfingen districts used to belong to the Hohenzoller Lands . |

- Castle of the Counts of Werdenberg , built around 1450: As the four-storey roof had many damaged areas and a shell penetration on a load-bearing post and there were no sawn-out pieces of battens or struts that had been burned during wartime, it was renovated in 2011 and 2012. In the 15th century, the spruce wood, which can be up to 16 meters long, was probably heaved up over trains in heavy labor with a team of oxen or horses without any mechanical assistance.

Economy and Infrastructure
The municipalities of Engstingen, Hohenstein and Trochtelfingen founded the Haid industrial park in 1994 on the site of the former Eberhard Finckh barracks .
Trochtelfingen is the headquarters of Alb-Gold Pasta , one of the largest German pasta manufacturers.
traffic
The city lies on the federal highway 313 ( Plochingen - Stockach ). This connects the districts of Mägerkingen, Trochtelfingen and Haid in the north with Reutlingen and in the south with Sigmaringen . The district road K 6736 leads to the Steinhilben district and from there the K 6739 continues to Wilsingen. The Hausen district is connected to Mägerkingen via Landesstraße 385.
In the area of the core town of Trochtelfingen, the B313 will bypass the city center on a bypass road . This bypass road, however, leads directly through populated areas, and due to its partial construction as an elevated road and the maximum permissible speed of 100 km / h, the bypass road causes high noise emissions.
The Gammertingen-Kleinengstingen railway line of the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn runs through the districts of Mägerkingen and Trochtelfingen. As part of the planned Neckar-Alb regional light rail, there are plans to set up an S-Bahn line on the route.
The Public transport is by the Verkehrsverbund Neckar-Alb-Donau guaranteed (NALDO). The city is in honeycomb 226.
Trochtelfingen is also on the Swabian Alb Cycle Path , a long-distance cycle path that leads from Lake Constance to Nördlingen across the entire Swabian Alb.
