Metterzimmer ( Swabian: "Zemmern") in the Ludwigsburg district is a district of the large district town of Bietigheim-Bissingen , whose population decided in 1930 to be incorporated into the town of Bietigheim .
geography
Location
Metterzimmer is about 10 kilometers northwest of the district town of Ludwigsburg on a southern slope to the left of the Metter , which comes from the Stromberg and flows into the Enz in Bietigheim . Neighboring communities were Löchgau in the north and, clockwise, Besigheim , Bietigheim, Bissingen, Untermberg , Groß- and Kleinsachsenheim .
The village is located in a spur on a fertile, partly loess-covered high terrace , which is bordered in the south by the Metter and in the north and east by the Altenbach, which flows into the Metter. The partly wooded Altenbachtal is a nature reserve. On the southern slope of the Metter vineyards still characterize the landscape, otherwise fields, orchards and fallow land .
Population development
In Metterzimmer people lived mainly from farming and viticulture. This changed with the emerging industrialization of Bietigheim. The number of inhabitants rose comparatively moderately over the centuries, especially since the village suffered two violent war-related slumps in the 17th century. The population has doubled since the Second World War; In 1990 the temporary high was reached.

history
Place name and first mention
Since in the Middle Ages there were numerous villages called "Zimmer" or "Zymbern" or "Cymberen" and these only existed in the early modern period through prefixed attributes such as "Neckar", "Women", "Dürren" or "Metter" rooms have been clearly differentiated, the relevant documents from 782 or 838 in the Lorsch Codex cannot be used as a reliable source for a first mention of Metterzimmer. Only a document from Emperor Friedrich I regarding the rights of the Odenheim Monastery, in which a Cimberèn in connection with Sachsenheim is mentioned in 1161, is considered to be reliably assignable . In 1428 the name Zymmern appeared for the first time . In the map of the "Bietigkhaimer Beamptung" created after 1600, Metter Zimmer appears for the first time , which is also documented for 1644 and in 1684 by Andreas Kieser's forest inventory book .
Changing affiliations
The town, which was walled until the 19th century, was owned by the Lords of Sachsenheim as a fiefdom of the Counts of Vaihingen from the High Middle Ages and as a Württemberg fiefdom from 1360. Between 1471 and 1481 parts of the village were already in direct possession of the House of Württemberg. After the lineage of the Lords of Sachsenheim had expired in 1561, their fiefdom fell back to the Duchy of Württemberg , and "Zimbern", together with Untermberg, Groß- and Kleinsachsenheim, was initially assigned to the Grüningen office . After 1600 Metter Zimmer apparently belonged briefly to the Bietigheim office until it was finally assigned to the Großsachsenheim office.
Since the founding year of the Kingdom of Württemberg (1806), Metterzimmer belonged to the newly created Oberamt Bietigheim, which, however, was dissolved again in 1810 and integrated into the Oberamt Besigheim . In 1930 the residents of Metterzimmer decided to voluntarily incorporate into the town of Bietigheim. Official street names were introduced four years later. Due to the administrative reform of 1938, the Oberamt Besigheim was dissolved and incorporated with Bietigheim and Metterzimmer into the newly created district of Ludwigsburg .
War damage
The Thirty Years War and with it plague and hunger almost wiped out the community. The “French invasions” that followed around 1690 in the course of the Palatinate and Spanish War of Succession again caused devastating setbacks. In 1693 there were only 16 inhabitants. In order to bring life and work to the village again, building lots and farmland were given away to potential new residents in 1714. As in the surrounding towns, the Etter wall began to be razed at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, and the three gates were torn down, even though they represented something very special for a village.
On April 9, 1945, Metterzimmer was occupied by French troops (49 RI and 4e RTT). Ludwig Dangel was interim mayor for a while.
politics
mayor
The heads of the community were officially called mayor until the incorporation . They were used by the bailiff and later by the chief bailiff. The following mayors are known:
- 1850–1874: Georg Durian
- 1874–1888: Wilhelm Sax
- 1888–1904: Friedrich Durian
- 1904–1908: Johannes Schäfer
- 1908–1920: Max Bauer
- 1920–1930: Friedrich Grabenstein
Incorporation
In the contract with the city of Bietigheim, the word "incorporation" was not used, but rather "amalgamation". After several negotiations, a referendum was held on January 12, 1930 with the result:
- 214 votes for the merger
- 14 votes against the merger
- 19 votes invalid
The reason for the clear result was an unpopular successor to Mayor Grabenstein. In addition, the property tax in the city of Bietigheim was lower. The fact that Bietigheim, unlike Metterzimmer, was in debt was unimportant for the voters. Only Besigheim had doubts about the merger , as the official city was no longer the largest city in the Oberamt Besigheim and feared that it could lose this function to Bietigheim. On June 15, 1930, the merger took place. According to the contract, at least two city councilors in the Bietigheim town hall must be from Metterzimmer. However, this provision is no longer complied with today.
coat of arms
Metterzimmer's coat of arms shows a red mill wheel on a white background. The mill wheel was first used in 1715 as a marker on a boundary stone and can still be seen above the town hall entrance. Since the incorporation in 1930, the coat of arms has lost its meaning and is hardly known.
education
A village school has been in use since 1781, when Duke Carl Eugen stopped in Metterzimmer and carried out a school visit. Today's primary school with four classes is a branch of the Hillerschule Bietigheim-Bissingen.
religion
A church in Metterzimmer was mentioned as early as the 14th century, which was subordinate to the Bietigheim Peterskirche. Until the Reformation , the parishes in Bietigheim and Metterzimmer belonged to the Vaihingen regional chapter in the Archdiakonat Trinitatis of the Diocese of Speyer . The patronage was due to the Lords of Sachsenheim. Church saints were Saints Mary, Michael, Vitus and Modestus. In the course of the Reformation initiated in 1534, the entire community became Protestant. After the Gothic St. Michael's Church was badly damaged as a result of a lightning strike in 1905, the decision was made to build a larger new building, which was built in Art Nouveau style and consecrated a year later. The new Michaelskirche is considered a journeyman's piece of the architect Heinrich Dolmetsch who had never built in Art Nouveau before. So the small village church became the model for the Markuskirche in Stuttgart.
A New Apostolic congregation also contributes to the religious diversity of Metterzimmer. The Catholic Christians from Metterzimmer are assigned to the parish in Bietigheim-Bissingen.
traffic
Metterzimmer is located on Kreisstraße 1635 between Kleinsachsenheim and Bietigheim. There are also connecting roads to the L 1107 in the direction of Löchgau and to the L 1125 in the direction of Großsachsenheim . In 1912 a stop was built on the Stuttgart – Bietigheim – Mühlacker line ( Württembergische Westbahn ). In 1979 the station was closed and in 1983 the buildings were demolished.
Today buses run to Bietigheim every 30 minutes, and every 15 minutes during rush hour. Saturdays from 3 p.m. and Sundays, they run every 60 minutes. The same applies to the opposite direction to Sachsenheim.
Attractions
The oldest remaining building is the cloister courtyard from 1599. Also worth seeing is the Haus am Gallbrunnen, a farmhouse from the beginning of the 17th century that was restored in 1983. The town hall from 1809 lost its function when it was incorporated in 1930. The Art Nouveau Church of St. Michael was consecrated in 1906.

societies
- The Liederkranz Metterzimmer e. V. was founded in 1881 as a male choir.
- There was also a temporary "warrior club".
- After Bietigheim had founded a gymnastics club and some Metterzimmerer became members there, it was decided in 1899 to establish the gymnastics club Metterzimmer 1899 e. V. to found. In addition to gymnastics, handball has been in the foreground since 1927 , which made the club as a "handball stronghold" in the Enz / Murr district the nucleus of the Bietigheim Bundesliga handball: In 1997 the successful TVM handball players formed the "Bietigheim game community" with TSV Bietigheim Metterzimmer ”, into which the handball players of the Bissingen sports association were integrated in 2007/2008, from now on under the name“ SG BBM Bietigheim ”(SG BBM stands for“ Spielgemeinschaft Bietigheim-Bissingen-Metterzimmer ”).
