Mühlacker is a city in the north-west of Baden-Württemberg , around twelve kilometers northeast of Pforzheim . It is the largest city in the Enzkreis and forms a middle center for the surrounding communities. Since the district reform, which came into force on January 1, 1973, Mühlacker has been the only large district town in the Enzkreis. Mühlacker was previously part of the Vaihingen district .
The city of Mühlacker has entered into an agreed administrative partnership with the municipality of Ötisheim .
geography
location
The Mühlacker area is characterized by the Enz , a left tributary of the Neckar . Coming from the southwest, the Enz reaches the urban area near Enzberg. The Enzberg district is to the left of the Enz on the ridge that borders the Enz Valley. After Enzberg the Enz flows in a wide right curve. In this right curve Dürrmenz is on the right side of the Enz. To the north, on the opposite side of the Enz, the core town of Mühlacker extends in a flat side valley. This is also where the railway runs and the Mühlacker station is located. To the east of Dürrmenz, the ridge with the Löffelstelz castle ruins of the Enz blocks the way to the east, so that it turns here in a narrow bend to the south.
After the end of Dürrmenz, the south-flowing Enz turns east again and soon reaches the Lomersheim district. The Enz then makes two wide bends in front of the Mühlhausen district and then leaves the Mühlacker urban area after Mühlhausen after a narrow bend in the river. While the Enz Valley rises gently to the up to 380 meter high mountains in the south, the transition in the north is mostly steep. Viticulture can also be found here because of the ideal location.
Neighboring communities
The following cities and municipalities border the city of Mühlacker. Starting in a clockwise direction , they are named in the east: Vaihingen an der Enz and Eberdingen (both districts of Ludwigsburg ) and Wiernsheim , Niefern-Öschelbronn , Kieselbronn , Ölbronn-Dürrn , Ötisheim , Maulbronn and Illingen (all of the Enz districts).

The town of Mühlacker consists of the core town of Mühlacker with Dürrmenz and the districts of Enzberg, Großglattbach , Lienzingen , Lomersheim and Mühlhausen an der Enz . The individual districts do not have their own representation such as a local council . Only the false choice of part of town was introduced.
In addition to the districts mentioned, there are occasionally other separately located residential areas with their own names, such as Sengach, Senderhang or Hasenberghof. Furthermore, there are some residential areas with their own name, for example Eckenweiher or Heidenwäldle, which have become naturalized over time according to the settlement, but whose boundaries have mostly not been determined.
Spatial planning
Mühlacker forms a middle center within the Northern Black Forest region , in which the city of Pforzheim is designated as the regional center . In addition to the town of Mühlacker, the towns and communities Illingen , Knittlingen , Maulbronn , Ötisheim and Sternenfels belong to the central area of Mühlacker , although the town of Knittlingen is linked to the neighboring central center of Bretten ( Middle Upper Rhine region ).
history
Antiquity and the Middle Ages
In the area around Mühlacker there was evidence of the first settlements more than 12,000 years ago. Finds of Celtic and Roman settlement remains attest to agricultural uses and ancient trades ( lime burning ). There is evidence of a vicus at the Erlenbach and a villa rustica was excavated from 2001 to 2002 in the district of Enzberg . Around the year 500 the resident Alemanni were defeated by the Franks and the Enzgau was integrated into the Franconian Empire .
In 779, the Dürrmenz settlement was first officially selected as the Turmenz in the Lorsch Codex . From the middle of the 12th century the lords of Dürrmenz can be traced ; they resided in what is now the Löffelstelz castle ruins . 1159–1162 Ulrich von Dürrmenz was Chancellor of Emperor Friedrich I. Barbarossa , then until his death on December 26th 1163 the 39th elected Bishop of Speyer . Walter von Lomersheim donated his Eckweiher estate in 1138 to establish a Cistercian monastery . In 1146 and 1147 the monastery was moved to Maulbronn . In the 13th century, the lords of Enzberg owned the lower vogtei over this monastery.
The Enzberg settlement was first mentioned in a document in the Codex minor Spirensis in 1100 , when Bishop Johannes von Speyer donated Enzberg and a large number of other places to the Sinsheim monastery.
The settlement of Mühlacker was first mentioned in 1292 (according to other sources, an earlier mention is also possible, but this probably does not refer to the settlement of Mühlacker). Over the next 150 years or so, the monastery acquired the entire property of the local lords of Dürrmenz. When the monastery was handed over to Duke Ulrich in 1504, the monastery villages of Dürrmenz and Mühlacker and Untermberg, located below the Löffelstelz, became part of Württemberg. In the course of its history, Mühlacker itself remained only a small hamlet opposite the larger neighboring village of Dürrmenz and even initially disappeared from the political map. Dürrmenz alone remained as a political community and belonged to the Maulbronn monastery office.
From the Thirty Years War to the 19th century
The Thirty Years War brought hardship and misery. In 1648 there were 50 left of the original 1242 inhabitants (1622). In the Palatinate War of Succession (1688–1697) Dürrmenz was sacked by French troops in 1692. In 1699, 500 Waldensians displaced from France settled in Dürrmenz. When the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg was implemented at the beginning of the 19th century, Dürrmenz was assigned to the Maulbronn Oberamt . In 1832, Eckenweiher was incorporated into Dürrmenz.
industrialization
With the opening of the Württembergische Westbahn Stuttgart - Bruchsal by the Württembergische Eisenbahn in 1853, the industrial age began in the Dürrmenz-Mühlacker area . A shorter route further north through the Mettertal would have been possible for the Western Railway . In order to enable the Baden railways to connect from Pforzheim later, the detour via the Eckenweiher Hof, which was previously insignificant, was chosen. After the municipality of Dürrmenz did not want to reveal its name for the station, the old name of the hamlet of Mühlacker was used for the new station. When the Karlsruhe – Mühlacker railway was built in 1863, Mühlacker was both a railway junction and a border station. As a curiosity, it had two train stations next to each other until 1930, the larger Württemberg train station and the Baden train station. This old Badische Bahnhof was later dismantled, track 50 of the Mühlacker Bahnhof is still a reminder of its location. Due to the construction of the railway, aided by the dismantling of the customs barriers between 1819 and 1851 and the lifting of the guild compulsory (1862), industrial companies settled near the station. As a result, Mühlacker grew rapidly and soon overtook the previously larger neighboring town of Dürrmenz, so that the municipality of Dürrmenz later called itself Dürrmenz-Mühlacker.
20th century
After the First World War , inflation , the global economic crisis and high unemployment interrupted further development. In 1930 the municipalities of Mühlacker and Dürrmenz-Mühlacker were elevated to the status of the city of Mühlacker. In the same year, the large radio station Mühlacker began operations, which in 1934 received a 190-meter-high transmission tower made of wood . This tower, which was blown up in 1945, was the tallest wooden structure ever. During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , the young town of Mühlacker became part of the Vaihingen district in 1938 . During the Nazi era, five of the eight Jewish citizens of Mühlacker were murdered in Auschwitz .
The Second World War ended in Mühlacker with destruction from air raids and artillery fire. For three days there was a fight for Dürrmenz. The occupation by the French took place on April 7, 1945.
The later district of Großglattbach , however, was largely spared from air raids. Nevertheless, the war was not to come to a happy end here either: the German troops had been withdrawing from the Rhine to the east since the beginning of April 1945, always harassed by the French and Americans who were advancing. Neither on the Heuchelberg nor on the Enz could a durable line of defense be built. Already on April 7th and 8th all places north of the Enz were occupied and on April 8th the French also managed to cross the Enz. Towards noon, French troops coming from Mühlhausen finally occupied Großglattbach, although there were no major fighting. But this should change within an hour. SS units had established themselves in the woods around Großglattbach and now began to bombard the French with artillery. The artillery duels lasted for ten days over the heads of the Großglattbachers, most of whom were hiding in their cellars. Five residents died in those days. The fighting in Großglattbach only ended on April 18, when Pforzheim was also conquered. The remains of trenches and foxholes can still be found in the forests today.
After the withdrawal of the French, the city became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
After 1945, 3,000 refugees and displaced persons found a new home in Mühlacker.
In connection with the regional reform of 1972, the population of the city of Mühlacker exceeded the limit of 20,000. That is why the city administration applied for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg then decided with effect from January 1, 1973.
As part of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg on January 1, 1973, the district of Vaihingen was dissolved. The town of Mühlacker became part of the newly formed Enzkreis .
Religions
The area of today's town of Mühlacker initially belonged to the Speyer diocese and was assigned to the Archdeaconate of St. Guido. After most places had belonged to Württemberg by the beginning of the 16th century at the latest, the Reformation was introduced from there after 1534 . At first there were only Lutherans . The Waldensians , who settled in 1699, were reformed and then had their own parish. They received the old parish church of St. Peter in Dürrmenz. The Lutheran congregation retained the church of St. Andrew, which had already become a parish church in 1408.
In 1823 the Reformed community was abolished and integrated into the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . After that, the church of St. Peter served as a cemetery church. From then on, the St. Andrew's Church was the only church in the village until the 20th century. It was the seat of a deanery until 1827 , then Maulbronn became the seat of a deanery until 1970.
In the 20th century, the parish of Dürrmenz and Mühlacker was divided up due to their size. In 1920, in addition to the St. Andrew's Congregation, the Paulus Congregation was established, which, however, initially held its services in the bear bar. Only in 1954 was today's Pauluskirche built, which again became the seat of a deanery. In 1959 the parish hall of the Paul Gerhardt congregation was built. The districts of Enzberg, Großglattbach, Lienzingen, Lomersheim and Mühlhausen an der Enz each have their own Protestant parish and a church, although the parish and church in Enzberg were not established until 1823. Since 1970, all parishes have belonged to the Mühlacker church district within the Heilbronn district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
At the end of the 19th century, Catholics again moved to Dürrmenz and Mühlacker and in 1895 a small church was built north of the railway line. In 1902 a vicarage was established and in 1912 a parish administration, which in 1919 was raised to the status of an independent parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In 1925 the congregation was able to build today's Herz-Jesu-Kirche. After the Second World War, Mühlacker's Catholics also moved to the present-day districts. Today's parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus within the Mühlacker deanery of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese includes all Catholics of the Mühlackers urban area and the Ötisheim community . In addition to the Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Mühlacker, there has also been a branch church of St. Martin in the Enzberg district since 1973. Since 1999 the parishes Herz-Jesu Mühlacker and St. Joseph Illingen have formed the center pastoral care unit within the Mühlacker deanery. The seat of the leading pastor is Mühlacker.
In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches in Mühlack , including the Methodist Church (UMC), a Free Evangelical Congregation (FeG) and an Adventist congregation. There is also a Greek Orthodox congregation, the Jehovah's Witnesses and the New Apostolic Church .

coat of arms
Blazon : In blue a golden (yellow) wave bar accompanied by a golden (yellow) ring with a red stone at the top, and at the bottom by a four-spoke, six-blade golden (yellow) mill wheel with a red axis.
The coat of arms has been known since the 16th century. The wavy line symbolizes the Enz. The ring stands for the Lords of Dürrmenz . In the past, a cross was depicted in the lower area of the coat of arms, which stood for the Cistercian monastery Maulbronn , to which the Mühlacker settlement belonged. The coat of arms was awarded to Mühlacker in 1926. When Mühlacker was appointed town in 1930, the cross was replaced by a mill wheel, after the economic and political importance of the formerly dominant Dürrmenz had grown.
Mühlacker's heraldic motto is: Ring and Wheel - Loyalty and Action .
