Mössingen is a large district town in the district of Tübingen at the foot of the central Swabian Alb , around 15 kilometers south of the district town of Tübingen . It belongs to the Neckar-Alb region and the peripheral zone of the European metropolitan region of Stuttgart . The city primarily fulfills the functions of living and supply in the southern catchment area of the Middle Neckar conurbation .
geography
Geographical location
Mössingen is located on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb in the Steinlach valley , a right tributary of the Neckar . The lowest point of the urban area is at 435 m above sea level at the Untere Mühle on the Steinlach, the highest on the summit of the Dreifürstenstein at 853.5 m above sea level.
geology
The Mössing urban area opens up the changeable rock sequence of clays , sandstones , marls and limestone banks of the Black, Brown and White Jura ( Lias , Dogger and Malm ). Most important are the more than 100 m thick banked limestone of the White Jura β, which form the eaves edge of the Swabian Alb that is visible from afar. Large areas of the lower slopes and the Steinlachtal are z. Sometimes very thick periglacial limestone gravel covers are superimposed.
On April 12, 1983, after persistent rainfall in the Mössinger district, the mountain slide on the Hirschkopf , the largest mountain slide in Baden-Württemberg ( 48 ° 22 ′ 40 ″ N , 9 ° 4 ′ 0 ″ E ), occurred . This is due to Mössingen's location at the foot of the Albtrauf and the special storage conditions of the different rocks. Hard limes are deposited here on plastic marls and clays. In addition, rock material is continually being carried away by natural erosion , so that sooner or later such slippage will inevitably occur. On May 12, 2006 this area was added to the list of national geotopes . Further large landslides occurred, also after previous heavy rainfall, on June 3, 2013. The area of about one hectare is taken up by the landslide in the area of the Öschinger Landhaussiedlung alone. The settlement was then evacuated. Other landslides occurred on the southwest side of the Farrenberg, on the Buchberg, at the Talheimer waterfalls and on the Talheimer Steige.
landscape
Mössingen is located in the middle of a meadow orchard . From April to June there are various natural aspects of blooming starting with the plum and cherry blossom and ending with the flowering of the species-rich meadows, especially on the eaves of the Swabian Alb. The slopes of the Alb Mountains in the Mössing urban area and parts of the Alb foreland such as the Firstberg or the Bästenhardt Forest are forested. Lime beech forests that are used for forestry but are close to nature dominate . In particular, the marl slopes and sites above slate and brown juratones were extensively reforested with coniferous wood , which would not naturally occur there. The brooks are mostly accompanied by near-natural alder-ash brook forests. The stream forests along the Steinlach are often mixed with foreign hybrid poplars. Small-scale limestone lawns of the gentian-schillergrass type on the Braunjura slopes are reminiscent of the time when sheep herding was even more important. Large, semi- arid grasslands with numerous orchids form the Filsenberg plateau and the Meisenbühl cone south of Öschingen .
Protected areas
Parts of the Mössingen urban area with the Farrenberg and the Roßberg belong to the FFH areas 7620-343 Albtrauf between Mössingen and Gönningen and 7520-341 Albvorland near Mössingen .
The nature reserves Bei der Olgahöhe , Bergrutsch am Hirschkopf , Filsenberg and Öschenbachtal are integrated into these protected areas, which are important throughout Europe . In the area of the NSG Bergrutsch am Hirschkopf there is no longer any use, so that there the natural development of the living nature can be observed and scientifically researched through permanent observation.
fauna
Mössingen has a species-rich bird fauna . The structurally rich and extensive orchards are important habitats . The populations of the rare collared flycatcher and the gray woodpecker are outstanding . The Farrenberg plateau is a red-backed habitat and breeding center for the Spanish flag , a rare species of bear moth . On the Filsenberg brooding Woodlark . The orchards are also bat areas. In the forests on the Albtrauf , bat boxes have been used for the settlement of bats. The Bechstein's bat occurs there in large numbers.

history
prehistory
Presumably a "Masso" founded the Allannian village Masginga on the upper Steinlach . The original settlement was on the boundary of today's suburb of Belsen. In the spring of 2017, a 4500 year old grave was found when a building pit was excavated near the school center. It contained the oldest recovered complete human skeleton in the region and was located on the edge of an early Alemannic cemetery. This dates to the 6./7. Century and probably includes around 50 graves. It is the corpse of a ten year old boy. In addition, the entire skeleton of a decapitated horse was found at the same time.
middle Ages
Mössingen is mentioned for the first time in a document from the Lorsch monastery ("in pago alemannorum in Messinger marca") from the year 774.
Mössingen belonged to the Counts of Zollern until the early 15th century . After a dispute between Count Friedrich XII. (called the "Öttinger") and the Lords of Ow , Mössingen was looted and burned down at the beginning of the 15th century. As a result, the Mössing cemetery was fortified with a high wall and a defense tower. In 1415 Count Friedrich von Zollern pledged Mössingen to Count Eberhard von Württemberg . After lengthy disputes with the Counts of Zollern, Mössingen finally came to the Duchy of Württemberg in 1441 and was subordinated to the Office of Tübingen.
Early modern age
Ulrich von Württemberg carried out the Reformation in 1534 . As a result of the Thirty Years War , the Wars of Succession and Coalition Wars , the place suffered great economic damage. A wave of emigration to Poland, Transylvania and America at the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century weakened the place further.
Time of the Kingdom of Württemberg
When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806 , the old Württemberg town of Mössingen was assigned to the new Oberamt Rottenburg in 1810 .
With the construction of the Zollernalbbahn in 1869, Mössingen received its own breakpoint and thus a connection to the route network of the Württemberg State Railways .
20th and 21st centuries
Mössingen attracted more attention on January 31, 1933. It was here that the only workers' uprising in Germany against Adolf Hitler's seizure of power took place, the so-called Mössingen general strike .
During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Mössingen came to the Tübingen district in 1938 .
In 1945 Mössingen 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.
The economic upturn reached the region from 1950 onwards as a result of population growth, immigration gains from displaced persons as well as foreign guest workers and resettled Russian Germans. A satellite town , Bästenhardt, was built.
On January 1, 1971, the Talheim community was incorporated. Öschingen was incorporated on December 1, 1971. On January 1, 1974 the city charter was granted. As a result of the further increase in population, the city was expanded. Large residential areas emerged in Öschingen, Belsen and on the outskirts of the city center and von Bästenhardt. Industry and commerce settled mainly on the northern edge and between the city center and Bästenhardt / Belsen. The town hall was rebuilt at the train station, the old city center was traffic-calmed. The traffic-relieving north and south ring also contributed to this.
Hurricane Lothar raged over Mössingen on December 26th, 1999 and caused severe damage in several forests. The Bästenhardt forest in the west of the city, a fir forest that was ready for cutting at that time , was almost completely destroyed.
In 2008 the state government approved the city's application to make Mössingen a major district town on January 1, 2009 .
Districts
The Mössingen districts have an eventful and varied history, although all including the core town belonged to the County of Zollern until 1403 and then came to the County of Württemberg . The old Württemberg villages, like Mössingen, were assigned to the newly formed Oberamt Rottenburg . The Oberamt, known as the Rottenburg district since 1934 , was opened in the Tübingen district in 1938 .
The history of the districts of Öschingen and Talheim is described in the respective articles.
religion
Mössingen has been Protestant since the Reformation . The currently existing parishes of Martin Luther , Johannes and Peter and Paul belong to the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . There is also a community of Protestant Pietists and the Methodist Christ Church in the village .
The Roman Catholic Church is in the diaspora . The number of Catholic Christians increased with the influx of expellees and guest workers from Catholic regions. The enlargement of the Catholic church made it necessary for a new church in the new city center. The old church Auf Dachtel was demolished.
The New Apostolic Church is represented in Mössingen with its own church, a Evangelical Free Church congregation ( Baptists ) meets regularly in the Belsen district , and a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses is located in the Schlattwiesen industrial area. Muslims visit the Ensar Camii Mosque on Karl Jaggy Street for Friday prayers .

Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture and Forestry
Almost without exception, the forests on Mössingen are used intensively for forestry purposes. Mössingen was also the seat of a forestry office until 1995. Agriculture is rural. Part-time and part-time businesses are still widespread. The cultivation of orchards is of great importance . In Belsen there is also a shepherd, whose herd grazes the lower slopes of the Alb Mountains.
Business
For a long time, the engine of the economy was the textile industry . The decisive factor was the location on the Steinlach as a receiving water and for electricity generation. One of the main employers was Pausa AG, a textile printing company that was founded in 1871 as "Mechanische Buntweberei Hummel", renamed Pausa AG in 1919 and closed in 2004. In second place are the wood and metal processing industries. A machine factory was established in the west of the city as early as the late 1960s. There is a sawmill at the train station, which has since been closed, and a pasta factory. In Mössingen there are primarily small and medium- sized businesses .
Mössingen forms part of the Steinlachtal industrial site . There are extensive industrial areas in the south-west and north (Schlattwiesen) of the city center. The current economic focus is on trade and services. Numerous wholesale markets have settled on the outskirts of the city center. But retail is also very important. The main shopping streets are Bahnhofstrasse and, as an extension, Falltorstrasse, which run through the city in a west-east direction. There are shops for special needs such as jewelers , opticians and toy retailers, but also service companies such as savings banks , insurance companies and medical practices.
media
The Schwäbisches Tagblatt and the Reutlinger General-Anzeiger (GEA) are available as local daily newspapers with a corresponding local section . The regional TV station RTF.1 is available via cable in Mössingen. The official gazette of the city of Mössingen appears once a week .
Mining
For many years the slates of the Black Jura were mined in a quarry on the western edge of the district . Petroleum was extracted from the bituminous rock. The slate was also used to make bricks . The quarry was refilled with earth materials. Further quarries were located below the deer head. White Jurassic lime was broken there to extract road ballast. Gypsum was processed in the gypsum mill .
tourism
Despite Mössingen's location on the Albtrauf, the presence of medicinal springs and the diverse natural features, tourism has not yet achieved a high priority. Accommodation and catering establishments are underrepresented. A health clinic has set up shop in the Bad Sebastiansweiler district. A tourist attraction is the Mössing mountain slide area, to which signposts now lead and which is accessible through a hiking trail and information boards. There are regular nature tours there.
education
Mössingen is an important regional educational location. As early as 1957, the Gottlieb-Rühle secondary school was completed southwest of Mössing's old town. The Friedrich-List-Realschule followed in 1967 and the Quenstedt-Gymnasium as well as the Steinlachschule (formerly Flattich-Förderschule) in 1973 . The Jahn gym completed the education center. In the southern connection, the physically handicapped school (KBS) was established only 2 years later as part of the Neckar-Alb Center for the Disabled. Further elementary and secondary schools are located in the districts of Bästenhardt and Talheim. The Evangelical Church in Württemberg built a secondary school with boarding school in the Firstwald north-east of Mössingen from 1962 to 1965, today Evangelical schools in the Firstwald . The municipal adult education center in Tübingen has a branch in Mössingen.
traffic
The State Road 27 , the former Swiss road , connecting the city to the north of Tubingen and Stuttgart and to the south with Hechingen . It affects the urban area in the west. From the Talheim district, the L 385 leads as a pass road (Talheimer Steige) to the plateau of the Swabian Alb to Melchingen. The L 384 connects Mössingen with the northeastern city of Reutlingen and the neighboring town of Nehren. A bypass road, the Nordring, leads through traffic in the north around Mössingen. After almost 30 years of planning, it was opened to traffic on January 12, 2007. The largest transport project in the Tübingen district at the time of its creation was built in 16 months for 5.061 million euros. In 1973 a new connection road with a 100 meter long tunnel was built under the railway line to the Bästenhardt district.
Mössingen was connected to the rail network with the inauguration of the station on July 24, 1869 and is currently a regional express stop on the Tübingen-Aulendorf route, the so-called Zollernalbbahn . The district of Belsen also has a regional train stop called Bad Sebastiansweiler -Belsen .
The Public transport is by the Verkehrsverbund Neckar-Alb-Donau guaranteed (NALDO). The city is in honeycomb 113.
A glider airfield is located on the Farrenberg in the south of the city.
Water supply
The drinking water comes from the Lake Constance via pipelines . The Albstollen runs through the urban area and also directs Lake Constance water into the central Neckar region. At Talheim a pumping station increases the water pressure. The Zweckverband Bodensee-Wasserversorgung has its seat in Stuttgart. The water tank for the Mössingen drinking water supply is located on the almost 600 meter high castle hump. The wastewater is fed into the central wastewater treatment plant of the Steinlach-Wiesaz wastewater association on the Steinlach near Tübingen .
