history

Prehistory and early history

Souvenir sheet Messkirch around 1850

The settlement history of the Messkirch area goes back 3000 years. The oldest human traces on the Meßkircher district date from the Bronze Age . Burial mounds in the Bichtlinger Wald or on the Dreibühl in the Schnerkinger Wald show that the area was already relatively densely populated in the Hallstatt period (around 9th to 5th centuries BC). There is also a group of seven Hallstatt-era burial mounds near Ringgenbach, and another burial mound with a diameter of 18 and a height of 3.6 meters in the Hackenberg forest between Engelswies and Rohrdorf, at Buhlen and Ehnried. The settlement continuity continued with the Latène period: in the Birkstock forest near Heudorf, not far from a sinkhole, there was a well-preserved Celtic square hill with sides of 73, 91, 62 and 93 meters.

After the Celts came the Romans . These had in the year 15 BC The area took possession. Under Emperor Vespasian , in 70/71 AD, a military and long-distance road from Argentoratum ( Strasbourg ) to Augusta Vindelicorum ( Augsburg ) was built, which ran over the Kinzig valley and Brigobannis ( Hüfingen ) along the Danuvius ( Danube ). Not far from the street known as Donausüdstraße is the so-called old town near Heudorf, the largest Roman estate in today's Baden-Württemberg. The land was given to military veterans, although the owner of the farm is known from an inscription on an altar stone and is therefore the oldest person known by name of the Messkircher: Marcus Aurelius Honoratius Pankratius. What is particularly noteworthy about this Roman estate is a fresco that was discovered in 1978 and is now in the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart: the Venus von Meßkirch . Dating: The oldest coin shows Emperor Vespasian and was made around the year 70, the last one shows Caracalla and dates from 210. In the same year the Alamanni crossed the Limes for the first time . 270 then the Romans had finally withdrawn southwards behind the Rhine. The manor is believed to have fallen victim to one of the first attempts at the Alemannic conquest in 233.

The early Alemanni were more like cattle breeders and farmers and, unlike the Romans, settled along the rivers. The fact that these settlements are of Alemannic origin is indicated by the endings of the place names along the Ablach with -ingen , which are always named after the court founder. After the incorporation of the Alemannic dominion into the Franconian Empire after 496, places with the ending -heim were founded in favorable places in terms of settlement geography (e.g. Thalheim ), later places with the ending -dorf ( e.g. Sauldorf ) followed in less favorable places . In phases, further development of the country and clearing of the vast forests had taken place from the old settlements. This is particularly understandable using the example of Menningen, where the villages of Leitishofen, Kogenhofen (Ringgenbach), Buffenhofen and Dietershofen were created along the Ringgenbach . The places founded in the 8th century with the ending -weiler were the last. Almost all of the old villages were to the west of the Ablach, to the east you will find mainly young foundations. Two lance tips from the Merovingian period indicate settlement in the 7th century.

First mention and Middle Ages

Bird's eye view of the village of Meßkirch, 1575: Above you can see the suburb that began in 1550 with the New Spital and Weisenburg. Also easy to see are the four-winged Meßkirch Castle and the St. Martin's Church, which was still late Gothic at the time. See also: Die Zimmerische Chronik , Volume 4, p. 40 f. ( Wikisource )

Messkirch was first mentioned in the vita of Saint Heimerad , who was born around 965 AD . Around 1080 the life story of the pilgrim monk was written down. In it his place of birth is mentioned as a place in Upper Swabia called Messankilche . A place with a church where holy mass was celebrated. Martinskirche dates from the time of Christianization in the 8th century. It and the three Peter and Paul churches in the area indicate that Messkirch had a special position as a central location for missionary work in the 8th century. The oldest surviving seal is one of the Meßkirch tailors' guild from the year 1050. In 1201 there was talk of the Meßkirch fruit measure. The church village of Meßkirch was then part of the rule of the Counts of Rohrdorf. After the dynasty of the counts died out in 1210, a large part of the rulership, including Messkirch, was sold to a branch line of the Truchsessen von Waldburg who then called themselves Truchsessen von Waldburg zu Rohrdorf .

In the 12th or 13th century, Meßkirch turned into a market settlement for the rulers. The market law has been documented since 1241, the town charter in a Salem charter since 1261. The town charter is to be seen in the context of the founding of towns in the Lake Constance area. For the development of the city, on the one hand, the location at a ford and on two country roads played a role, on the other hand, the relocation of the seat of the Truchsess from the Benzenburg near Rohrdorf to Meßkirch around the year 1300 , which thus became a residence. Since then the family called itself Truchsessen von Waldburg zu Meßkirch . This was followed by the demolition of the Benzenburg and the new construction of the castle (old castle), as well as the construction of the inner and outer city walls with two city gates. In the Middle Ages, the city wall already included the Grabenviertel. Ceramic finds from the area west of the city church testify that this is the older part of the city.

The Cimbrian rule of Messkirch began in 1319 with the marriage of Baron Werner von Zimmer the Elder (1289-1384) with Anna Truchsessin von Rohrdorf († 1350). After her death in 1351, Messkirch became the residence of the lords of Zimmer (counts of Zimmer since 1538) through succession , which was finally confirmed in 1354 by the purchase of the rule. The rule included the city of Meßkirch and its six parent villages Rohrdorf, Heudorf, Schnerkingen, Wackershofen as well as Ober - and Unterbichtlingen . The rooms gave the small town a great reputation for generations through artistic, literary and scientific interest.

Under Messkirch's first sovereign Werner von Zimmer and his second wife Brigitte von Gundelfingen († 1404) there was an emigration of citizens to the neighboring imperial cities, including Constance , Überlingen and Ravensburg . The reason was the levied taxes, compulsory labor and other services for the benefit of the sovereign. A return of the citizens could only be achieved by Werner declaring the subjects free. Gottfried Werner von Zimmer (1484–1554) built the late Gothic St. Martin's Church (later redesigned in Baroque style). Messkirch flourished under Count Froben Christoph von Zimmer (1519–1566), author of the " Zimmerische Chronik ", the city grew and was expanded to include the so-called suburb . He also had the castle redesigned as a four-wing complex in the style of the Italian Renaissance and the hospital and many other buildings built.

Modern times

Until the Peasants' War in 1525 , the balance of power was still in favor of the citizens. In 1594 the family of the Counts of Zimmer died out with the death of Count Wilhelm von Zimmer (1549–1594) in the male line and came to the Counts of Helfenstein , barons of Gundelfingen , via a sister of the last Count . In 1627 the city came under the rule of the Meßkirch line of the princes of Fürstenberg .

In the first half of the 18th century, Meßkirch had fewer than 1,000 inhabitants. Count Froben Ferdinand von Fürstenberg-Mößkirch (1664–1741), who was raised to the rank of prince in 1716 , rose to the service of Emperor Karl VI. up to the imperial principal commissioner at the Regensburg Reichstag, as builder and patron he drew master builders and artists of supraregional rank to his residence city, which developed into one of the most glamorous royal residences in southwest Germany. The center of this early modern territorial complex was the Meßkirch residence with its Renaissance castle from the mid-16th century, which dates back to the Counts of Zimmer . Here, Prince Froben Ferdinand and his family had a court and a central administration of around 80 employees at their disposal around 1720. The enormous expenses for the princely representation, court keeping and especially the construction activity brought the Meßkirch craftsmen and traders steady income. The court and princely administration were the city's most important employers.

When Karl Friedrich von Fürstenberg-Mößkirch (1714–1744) died in 1744 and with him the Meßkirch line of the Princes of Fürstenberg, the development of the town as a residence came to an abrupt end. When the Donaueschingen line took over the Fürstenberger Meßkirch, the city lost court and government authorities, with serious economic consequences. Messkirch was no longer a residence, but still belonged to the principality.

On May 5, 1800, the military clash between French and Austrian troops in the Second Coalition War , known as the Battle of Messkirch, took place. An inscription with the name Meßkirchs (MOESKIRCH) on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris reminds of the bloody battle that left deep traces in the Meßkirch area .

After secularization and mediatization in 1803, the Principality of Fürstenberg was absorbed in 1806 in the newly founded Grand Duchy of Baden . Until 1936, the city was the upper administrative city ​​of Baden .

Two camps fought for power in the city in the so-called “ Messkirch newspaper war ”, beginning during the Baden Kulturkampf until the time of National Socialism in 1933, the Catholic center and the liberals . Two local newspapers, since 1872 the liberal Oberbadische Grenzbote and since 1898 the Catholic Heuberger Volksblatt , tried to strengthen the position of their own camp and to weaken that of the other.

On November 17, 1911, a severe earthquake shook the region at 10:25 p.m. Cracks appeared in the houses, chimneys overturned, a 15 centimeter wide crack appeared on the west wall of the Liebfrauenkapelle, sandstone decorations fell from the town hall gable onto the street, and in the surrounding towns church towers in particular were damaged.

time of the nationalsocialism

In the course of the National Socialist administrative reform in the state commissioner district of Constance , the district of Meßkirch was dissolved in 1936, with the result that the city of Meßkirch was incorporated into the Stockach Oberamt . The Stockach district emerged from this in 1939 .

Shortly before the end of the Second World War , Messkirch was the target of an air raid on February 22, 1945, as part of the Allied Operation Clarion , a joint venture between the US and British air forces. At around 12 noon, seven “ De Havilland DH98 Mosquito ” fighter-bombers flew over the station area and fired at a freight train and a shunter . Another air raid broke out two hours later. The destination of the 442nd squadron of the 320th Bomb Group of the US Air Force ("320th Bomb Group") with seven medium-range bombers of the type " B 26 Martin Marauder " from Épinal in Lorraine under the command of Captain Lafayette R. Welsh was the Meßkirch station. Shortly after 2 p.m., around 42 bombs hit the primary target station. But two residential buildings were also destroyed in the center of the village, i.e. on Bahnhofstrasse, Museumstrasse and lower Hauptstrasse, 24 heavily and 80 slightly damaged. With explosive bombs directly and indirectly with seven bombs with time detonators (6 and 12 hours long-term delay ) 35 people died, among other things during extinguishing and recovery, 93 were wounded. Most of the victims were women and children. The identity of some of the dead was never clarified because there were many foreign workers and soldiers in the city; they were buried in a mass grave that has been preserved to this day in the Messkirch cemetery.

On April 22, 1945 the city was occupied by French troops. Messkirch belonged to the French occupation zone until 1949 .

Post-war until today

With the district and administrative reform of January 1, 1973, the Stockach district , which had belonged to the southern Baden district since 1952 and is based in Freiburg im Breisgau, was dissolved. Meßkirch was assigned to the Sigmaringen district, which belongs to the Tübingen administrative district. In the course of the reforms, the former Baden official city lost numerous authorities and schools and other important facilities, including the district hospital, the district court and the vocational schools.

In 1964 the Bodensee transmitter, a transmission system for medium wave and until 2004 also short wave, was built. This system was rebuilt in 1977/78 and dismantled in 2013.

After the collapse of two companies, unemployment in Meßkirch rose to a negative record of 17 percent in December 1983.

Incorporations

On April 1, 1936, the community of Schnerkingen was incorporated into Meßkirch. On December 1, 1971, Igelswies was incorporated into the city of Meßkirch at his own request and thus also moved from the Sigmaringen district to the Stockach district at that time. The former neighboring communities of Heudorf bei Meßkirch, Langenhart, Menningen and Rohrdorf were also incorporated on January 1, 1974 at their own request. The former neighboring communities Dietershofen, Ringgenbach and Rengetsweiler have also been part of Meßkirch since the community reform on January 1, 1975, with Dietershofen and Ringgenbach being incorporated voluntarily. Rengetsweiler was unsuccessful with its action against the incorporation before the State Court.

religion

Meßkirchs population is predominantly Roman Catholic denomination . The Catholic parish is part of the Archdiocese of Freiburg via the Sigmaringen-Meßkirch deanery . There is also a parish of the Evangelical Church in Baden as well as parishes of the Mennonites , Jehovah's Witnesses , the New Apostolic Church and the Old Catholic parish Sauldorf-Meßkirch. In 1991 Turkish immigrants founded an Islamic community. The Turkish-Islamic Cultural Association is currently building a mosque in Mengenerstraße.

A small Jewish community is recorded in Messkirch for the Middle Ages. It was destroyed in the persecution of the plague in 1348/49. Only after the emancipation laws of 1862 did Jews settle in the city again. In 1875, eight residents of the city professed to be Jewish, eleven in 1900 and nine in 1910. The Messkirch Jews belonged to the Jewish community of Gailingen . Because of the long way to the synagogue there , they had their own meeting and prayer room in Messkirch on Tuttlinger Strasse. Jewish community life died out in the late 1920s when the last Jews left the city. The 1925 census no longer records any Jews.

Sacred Heart Home
The Heilandskirche
  • The parish church of St. Martin , originally a Gothic hall church founded in Franconia around 750, was rebuilt in 1526 as a late Gothic columned basilica by Lorenz Reder under Gottfried Werner von Zimmer . The outstanding sacred late rococo room makes it the last late rococo church in Upper Swabia.
  • The Liebfrauenkirche on the Ablach, first mentioned in 1272, is based on a Gothic building from 1356. From 1576, the palace builder Jörg Schwarzenberger redesigned it in the Italian Renaissance style into a late Renaissance church and in 1676 received an onion dome . It has been used by the Old Catholics since 1895 . Renovations took place in 1960 and 1985. The tower of the Liebfrauenkirche is built at an angle up to the belfry. The belfry, on the other hand, was built vertically. During the renovation of the Liebfrauenkirche, the ropes of the three bells were removed. In October 1985 the spire was completely restored. The Liebfrauenkirche has a beautiful facade gable, blind arcades and recessed tombs on the outer facade. In the otherwise simple interior there are valuable sculptures from the Ulm school . The organ was built in 1905 by the organ building workshop Wilhelm Schwarz & Sohn (Opus 132). It was robbed of its prospect pipes during World War I and dismantled in 1985. After around 15 months of restoration, it could be heard again in May 2015.
  • The Herzjesu Church was built from 1736 to 1738 by Johann Caspar Bagnato for Froben Ferdinand zu Fürstenberg as a princely riding hall . In 1875, the then tithe barn was converted into a Catholic emergency church after the town church was used by the Old Catholic Christians during the Kulturkampf . The Herzjesu Church was painted inside and out by Beuron monks in the style of the Beuron Art School . In 1895 the Catholic Christians got the town church back. In the following, the Herzjesu Church was converted into a community center and renamed the Herz-Jesu-Heim . In 2005 the exterior facade was restored in the style of the Beuron art school.
  • The Evangelical Church of the Savior was built from 1863 to 1865. The neo-Gothic church tower with three bells followed in 1901.
  • The cemetery chapel is the former St. Vitus chapel , a historic building from the 16th century that once stood next to the town church and was moved to its current location around 1850. Inside, the late Gothic reticulated vaults and coats of arms are reminiscent of the time of the Counts of Zimmer .
  • The Heilig-Geist-Spital can be traced back to the Sisters of Mercy of Saint Vincent de Paul (Vincentian Sisters ) in Messkirch. It dates from the 19th century. Vincentians worked in the city hospital and later retirement home from 1859 to 1875 and from 1896 to 1996, i.e. for 110 years. For 76 years, from 1896 to 1972, they also took care of nursing in the former city hospital. From 1919 to 1938 they supervised the city kindergarten. In 1881, when the Marienhaus, today's Klösterle , was built and became a second old people's home, which housed a community ward supported by the Elisabethenverein, the Vinzentine women cared for the sick and cared for the dying in the Marienhaus as well as in the city, in Schnerkingen and Igelswies until 1980. In the villages in particular, the sisters were real authorities and the first point of contact for all needs. From 1979 to 2008, for almost 30 years, Vincentian women worked in the newly established St. Heimerad social station.
  • The Rohrdorf Church of St. Peter and Paul dates from 1701 and has a mighty high altar with a Gothic crucifix.
  • In Heudorf there is also a church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. The building originated in the 18th century.
  • The chapel Petrus und Paulus in the district of Schnerkingen is built in the Gothic style. The frescoes date from the 15th century.
  • Menningen is the location of the St. Johanneskirche .
  • The St. Kunigunde church is located in the Rengetsweiler district .
  • The St. Joseph's Chapel in Ringgenbach was built from sandstone in 1889/90. It is a branch church of the Menningen-Ringgenbach parish. The heavily worn facade was extensively renovated in 2011.

Carolingian monastery town of Messkirch

The Carolingian monastery town of Campus Galli is a project to build a monastery town using mediaeval techniques.

The Carolingian Monastery Town Association is building the monastery town of Campus Galli from the Carolingian era based on the world-famous monastery plan of Sankt Gallen . The Galli Campus is to be built in its entirety over a period of around 40 years, using only the technical means of the 9th century. The construction site has been open to visitors since June 22, 2013, who can take part in the development of the monastery town step by step. The campus can be experienced as a dynamic open-air museum .

Messkirch

  • The historic town hall was built in the New Renaissance style in 1899 by the architect and district building inspector Carl Engelhorn from Constance. Inside the building with a sandstone facade made of Maulbronn sandstone , which was restored in 2008/2009 for 100,000 euros, is the splendid town hall hall, which has been rebuilt since 1995, with a coffered ceiling, coats of arms from the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as the memorial for mayor Carl Hauser (term of office 1880 to 1905). On the outside, the words "At the advice because, for action" is carved in stone. The facade is decorated with pyramid-shaped branches and free-standing volute attachments. From the roof ridge the knight Kuno looks over the city with sword and spear with weather vane. The roughly 70 kilogram knight statue with pewter skin and clear lacquer coating was made in 1895 by a Heidelberg art fitter and renovated in 1995 and 2008 (by Peter Klink). There is also a white stork nest on the roof of the town hall .
  • The former hotel "Löwen", which is also listed, is located directly adjacent to the town hall. The building was sold to the city of Meßkirch in 2009 and has been empty since then. Built-in oak, dating from the period between 1532 and 1552, provides a possible indication of the age of the building. It can be seen on a cityscape from 1575 and initially served as the city chancellery. In 1723 the building was home to the “Zum golden Löwen” restaurant, and in 1891 the “Löwen” inn was converted into a hotel. Further far-reaching renovations took place in 1925 and 1956. In the future, the building will serve as a town hall extension after openings.
  • Martin Heidegger Memorials: The Mesmerhaus near the parish church is Martin Heidegger's parents' home. Heidegger's grave is in the Meßkircher cemetery. A museum in the castle provides information about the philosopher.
  • Roman manor with Diana temple : with almost eight hectares, it is considered the largest known Roman manor in Baden-Württemberg. Today only deformations of the ground and the foundation walls of a small temple complex with the consecration stone for Diana, the goddess of hunting, just outside the courtyard are preservedfrom the property that was built at the end of the first century AD.
  • The Hotel Adler-Alte Post was built in the course of the city expansion around 1550 as the Schwarzer Adler in the Anger-Vorstadt and was a Thurn and Taxis post office for a long time. When the post office was relocated, the house was called the Alte Post . The Adler's best- known landlord was Johann Baptist Roder , member of the state and Reichstag, who, among other things, made great contributions to the region's agriculture by breeding the Meßkircher Höhenfleck cattle.
  • The mint , also known as the old pharmacy , is a building from 1594 on the corner of Hauptstrasse and Kanalgasse. The count's mint was erected under Count Wilhelm von Zimmer in his residence town in place of a house that belonged to a certain Lorenz Steinhofer, who sold it to Pastor Wey and his heirs in 1566. This building was preceded by the granting of the minting privilege by Emperor Rudolf II on October 15, 1576. By contract of April 12, 1594 he appointed the Constance citizen Heinrich Aberlein as mint master. Wilhelm von Zimmer died in December 1594 before the completion of the coin.

    • The Martin Heidegger Museum in the east wing presents not only a chronicle of his life, but also the important stages in Heidegger's philosophical development. Smaller sections of the exhibition deal with the topics “Heidegger as the son of Messkirch” and “Heidegger and art”. The Martin Heidegger Archive is attached to the Heidegger Museum and will receive a multimedia expansion by spring 2010. The digitized media will include around 1200 photos, 40 audio tapes with radio programs, interviews with Elfride and Fritz Heidegger , the original audio tape of a Spiegel conversation with the philosopher from 1966, and around 15 recordings by Martin Heidegger, most of which have not yet been published. There are also DVDs of television programs and Heidegger films, ten interviews with contemporary witnesses - among others with the sons Hermann and Jörg Heidegger, with Pastor Heinrich Heidegger, his students Rainer Marten and Walter Biemel, a DVD about the event on the 30th anniversary of Heidegger's death in 2006 and the film "Martin Heidegger and his home".
    • In the remise of the castle, as well as in a cellar room in the south-east wing, in which motorbikes are exhibited, there is the oldtimer museum Meßkirch of the oldtimer friends Meßkirch and the surrounding area with around 20 cars and 30 motorbikes in their original condition. Showpieces of the exhibition on two floors are the only surviving example of the racing motorcycle brand Champion from the 1930s produced in Radolfzell , a hundred-year-old motorcycle and one of the rare examples of the legendary Messkirchen post-war car brand Veritas .
    • The Kreisgalerie Schloss Meßkirch has been housed in the south wing of the palace complex on two floors and a total area of ​​around 450 square meters since 2006. On the ground floor there is the permanent exhibition with six departments, which shows works from the art collection of the district of Sigmaringen from the late Middle Ages to the present day. The upper floor is used as a special exhibition area and forum for regional and contemporary art.
  • The municipal museum of local history in the "Unteren Hof" shows an exhibition on the town and early history of Messkirch and a Conradin Kreutzer room with around 250 exhibits. The museum's inventory list includes around 3000 exhibits. The museum goes back to a collection by the then local history researcher and monument conservator Eugen Eiermann, who began around 1930 to collect objects from the area of ​​the former rulership ofzimmer together with students and founded a small local history museum in 1934. During the Second World War, the museum was closed and the collection was relocated. It was not until July 23, 1961, for the 700th anniversary of the first mention of Messkirch as a city, that the rector i. R. Eiermann put together the local history museum and reopened it in the rooms of the former Rockus apartment in the lower courtyard. Since that day, the exhibition has been housed in three small rooms and the rest of the collection in the magazine under the roof. After the death of Eugen Eiermann in 1975, the museum was orphaned until Mayor Schühle asked Werner Fischer to take over the provisional management. In the course of the castle renovation, the idea of ​​locating the local museum in the "Schlössle" came up. In July 2010 the historian Armin Heim was appointed full-time director of the Heimatmuseum and commissioned with the redesign of the Heimatmuseum. The Museum Society Meßkirch is only connected to the Heimatmuseum through the history circle within the Museum Society. There is also a local history museum foundation.
