history

Bullets from the battle of Malsch

First documentary mention

Malsch is first mentioned in a document in the second half of the 11th century, in connection with a donation from Abbot Samuel to the Weissenburg monastery . Two slightly different certificates have been received about this donation. According to the note in the Weissenburg monastery necrology, there were four courtyards in "Bugcheneshem", one and a half courtyards in "Malsca", which were subject to interest on the feast of Saints Sergius and Bacchus , and one in "Adelbreddesuuilare". According to a text around 200 years younger, the Liber Possessionum by Abbot Edelin, it was farms in “Bugenesheim”, “Malsche” and “Albrahteswilre”. Since the first text is older and contains more detailed information, it is preferable in terms of textual criticism. The linguistically older form of the name "Malsca" used here also agrees with other early evidence of this place, which are "Malsca", "Malska" or "villa malsc". However, the older testimony does not contain the exact year in which Samuel's donation took place. The often mentioned year 1065 is based on the more recent Liber Possessionum , which historians consider to be unreliable. A more precise limitation than Abbot Samuel's tenure, i.e. H. the years 1055 to 1097 will therefore not be justifiable for the first documentary mention.

Further historical development

Around the year 1100 the then Ufgaugraf Reginbodo built the castle Waldenfels , of which remains can still be seen today in the "game finches" in the Malscher mountain forest. In the 12th century, the margraviate of Baden acquired the place, but sold the castle and place to the Herrenalb monastery as early as 1318 . When this was dissolved in the course of the Reformation in 1535, the place fell to Württemberg , which in 1603 returned it to Baden by way of exchange.

In addition to years of war, famine and plague, the great Croatian fire in 1623 in particular caused great damage to the community. Most of the village of Malsch was burned down. The population shrank from 1,400 to 300. In 1796 the Battle of Malsch took place here as part of the First Coalition War .

As part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , three previously independent municipalities were incorporated into Malsch. On January 1, 1971, Sulzbach was incorporated , on April 1, 1972 by Waldprechtsweier , which had previously belonged to the Rastatt district in the southern Baden region, and on January 1, 1973, Völkersbach was incorporated .
