After Esslingen am Neckar and Filderstadt, Nürtingen is the third largest city in the Esslingen district and a medium-sized center within the Stuttgart regional center. In terms of area, Nürtingen is the largest city in the district with almost 47 km². Nürtingen has been a major district town since February 1, 1962 . The city of Nürtingen has agreed an administrative partnership with the communities of Frickenhausen, Großbettlingen, Oberboihingen, Unterensingen and Wolfschlugen . Until the district reform on January 1, 1973 there was a district of Nürtingen .
geography
Geographical location
Nürtingen lies on the foothills of the central Swabian Alb . The old town is located on a former circular mountain of the Neckar , which comes from Neckartailfingen in the southwest, flows past the Neckarhausen district to the east, then grazes the city center to the west and finally leaves the Nürtingen urban area again through Zizishausen in a northeastern direction between Unterensingen and Oberboihingen. The Aich , a left tributary of the Neckar, flows between Oberensingen and Zizishausen .
Neighboring communities
The following cities and communities border the city of Nürtingen. They are called clockwise starting in the north:
Unterensingen , Oberboihingen , Kirchheim unter Teck , Dettingen unter Teck , Beuren , Frickenhausen , Großbettlingen , Altdorf , Neckartailfingen , Aichtal and Wolfschlugen (all districts of Esslingen)
City structure
The former communities and districts of Hardt , Neckarhausen , Nürtingen, Raidwangen , Reudern and Zizishausen belong to Nürtingen . The boundaries of these districts are identical to those of the municipalities of the same name that were independent until the 1970s. These six districts form residential districts within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code and, with the exception of the Nürtingen district, localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code with their own local council and mayor . The localities are named according to the scheme “City of Nürtingen district ...”. The localities each have their own local administration. Hardt is part of the Hardt district. Neckarhausen is part of the Neckarhausen district. To the district Nürtingen include the city of Nuertingen and the place Oberensingen and dialed villages Altheim, Neuhauser and Roßdorf, each field name , however, documented answers do not exist. The Raidwangen district includes Raidwangen and the Neckartailfingen train station building as well as the abandoned Heudorf village. Reudern is part of the Reudern district. Zizishausen is part of the Zizishausen district. In the core city of Nürtingen, residential areas with their own name are distinguished, the names of which have emerged in the course of history due to the development. These include the areas bordering the old town of Galgenberg, Kirchheimer Vorstadt / Vendelau, Kleintischardt / Wörth, Lerchenberg and Steinenberg. To the east of it lie the Säer, the Jettenhartsiedlung and the Rieth. In the south are the Ersberg and the Braike as well as the somewhat spatially separated settlements of Enzenhardt and Roßdorf, which emerged from the 1950s .
Division of space
According to data from the State Statistical Office , as of 2014.
Spatial planning
Nürtingen forms a middle center within the Stuttgart region , the regional center of which is Stuttgart . In addition to Nürtingen, the cities and municipalities in the southwest of the Esslingen district belong to the central area of Nürtingen, in particular: Aichtal , Altdorf , Altenriet , Bempflingen , Beuren , Frickenhausen , Großbettlingen , Kohlberg , Neckartailfingen , Neckartenzlingen , Neuffen , Oberboihingen , Schlaitdorf , Unterensingen and Wolfschlugen .
history
Antiquity and the Middle Ages
As numerous archaeological finds show, the area of what is now Nürtingen was already settled by the Celts . During Roman times, the area was home to a Roman manor Villa Rustica and a Roman sigillata pottery (around 200 AD).
Nürtingen was first mentioned in a document from King Heinrich III. from September 7, 1046 " Niuritingin ". It mentions a “ curtis nomine Nivritingin ”, a property called “ Nivritingin ” (“ Niuwirtingin ”). In September 1284 Berthold von Neuffen sold his property " in villa Niwirtingen " to the Salem monastery. Around 1335 Nürtingen received city rights and was expanded to become a city. The Nürtingen Treaty concluded here divided Württemberg in 1442 for 50 years into a Stuttgart and an Urach county.
Early modern age
In 1534 the Protestant Duke Ulrich ordered that Württemberg, and thus Nürtingen as well , should be Protestant from now on in accordance with the principle of " Cuius regio, eius religio ". In 1634 Nürtingen was heavily devastated during the Thirty Years' War by the emperor's troops, which were victorious after the battle of Nördlingen . The subsequent plague fell half the population victim. Some communities in the area lost almost their entire population during this time.
In 1750 the city was largely destroyed by a devastating fire. The master builder Johann Adam Groß the Elder rebuilt the town. This essentially resulted in today's image of the old town. Groß put a cross in the middle of the city, a street led from the town hall (new building from 1808) to the hospital and also made the connection to the church square. The old town center has been preserved in some parts to this day. From the 15th to the 17th century, Nürtingen Castle served as a retirement home for the widows of the Württemberg princes. It was demolished between 1770 and 1773. Today only names like Schlossberg and Schlossgartenstraße remind us that there was once a city palace next to the St. Laurentius church.
The first secondary school in Württemberg was founded in Nürtingen in 1783.
19th century
The office Nürtingen, since 1758 Oberamt , was expanded to include Oberamt Neuffen in 1807, one year after the founding of the Kingdom of Württemberg , as part of the new administrative structure of Württemberg . In 1859 Nürtingen got a connection to the Wuerttemberg Railway network via the Plochingen – Tübingen line . Thus the Oberamtsstadt Nürtingen developed into an industrial city towards the end of the 19th century. At first the textile industry was predominant, which later changed towards the metal processing industry. For a long time Nürtingen was known as the “city of gray roofs”, because from 1872 to 1975 cement was produced in Nürtingen . Since 1900 the "Portland cement works Heidelberg" owned the Nürtingen cement works. The " Tälesbahn ", which opened in June 1900 for passenger traffic between Nürtingen and Neuffen , was also used for freight traffic from June 21st to transport the limestone for the cement from the "Hörnle" quarry to the factory.
Nazi era
During the Nazi era in Württemberg, the new district of Nürtingen was formed from the district (until 1934 Oberamt) Nürtingen and the district (until 1934 Oberamt) Kirchheim unter Teck through the law on the division of the federal states .
During the time of National Socialism there were around 17 forced labor camps and forced labor camps with " Eastern workers ", prisoners of war and " foreign workers " who had to work in local companies, for example the machine factory Gebr. Heller . The Mühlwiesenlager with "Eastern workers" was at the current location of the secondary schools. We know that eleven victims of the “euthanasia” murders known by name were murdered in Grafeneck or Hadamar . The NSDAP district leadership of the then upper office or district town of Nürtingen ensured that all Jewish students or those who were considered “ half-Jews ” left the schools before the nationwide exclusion. This was not the case in neighboring districts such as Reutlingen . She also arranged that all men living in “ mixed marriages ” who she regarded as “Jews” were transported relatively early to concentration camps and killed there. The city's last Jewish woman, Anna Frank, née Herzer, was deported to the Haag Ghetto in Haigerloch on October 15, 1941 .
A Sinti child born in Nürtingen , Anton Köhler, was brought with most of his siblings from the Catholic orphanage St. Josefspflege in Mulfingen to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944 and murdered after his parents had already been murdered. Since its unveiling on July 26, 2015, a wooden sculpture has been in memory of Anton Köhler, who was born in Nürtingen. In addition, the wooden figure stands as the “guardian of memory” of the Porajmos and represents the victims and sufferers of National Socialism in Nürtingen. The wooden figure by the British sculptor Robert Koenig, which was created as part of the Odyssey project, shows Anton Köhler at the fictional age of 21. Anton Köhler himself, one of the so-called “ Sinti children from Mulfingen ”, was murdered at the age of 12 in the “ Auschwitz Gypsy Camp ”. On November 9th, 2015 the "DENK ORT" was opened in the city center, where short biographies of victims and sufferers of National Socialism from all known groups of victims of the memorial initiative are presented. The fate of Anton Köhler is also presented there. References there lead to broader presentations on the Nürtingen memorial initiative website. Robert Reinhardt wrote the song “Miro Si rowela” (“My heart is crying”) in Sinti Romanes and German on the fate of Anton Köhler and the other Sinti and Roma children who were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau and sang it. This song, created and recorded in Nürtingen, was presented to the public for the first time on Ash Wednesday 2016 on the occasion of an award ceremony in the Nürtingen town hall .
post war period
After the Second World War, Nürtingen belonged to the state of Württemberg-Baden in the American zone of occupation . Since Nürtingen was not destroyed in the war, the city had to take in over 6,500 displaced persons , most of whom came from Czechoslovakia ( German Bohemians, German Moravians , then called Sudeten Germans ). In the Nürtingen district, 59.6 percent of the “displaced persons” were assigned to this group. The military government allocated around 28,000 refugees to the Nürtingen district. By March 1946, single families and hundreds of individuals had arrived. From March 1946 on, collective transports kept arriving at the station. In 1948 the expellees made up a quarter of the population in Nürtingen.
With the founding of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, Nürtingen became part of today's federal state.
In 1960 the population of the city of Nürtingen exceeded the limit of 20,000. As a result, the city administration applied for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg then decided with effect from February 1, 1962.
In the state elections on April 28, 1968, the city attracted attention because 12.65% of the voters had voted for the NPD .
During the district reform on January 1, 1973, Nürtingen lost its function as a district town , as the previous district of Nürtingen was dissolved and its area (excluding the Grafenberg community) was assigned to the enlarged Esslingen district . The Grafenberg community was assigned to the Reutlingen district .
In 1989 the Baden-Württemberg Home Days took place in Nürtingen .
Nürtingen city fortifications
The parts of the city fortifications that are preserved today are from the 14th and 15th centuries.
City rights
With the elevation to the city in the middle of the 14th century, Nürtingen received Württemberg city rights. This also meant the right to fortification of the city, its own court and fairness in the market. 1335 is under Count Ulrich III. proven a Vogt of the rule Württemberg in Nürtingen. In 1359 the "stett reht zu nurtingen" is mentioned, which means that Nürtingen had the town charter .
The triple wall belt
A triple wall belt enclosed the densely built-up city of Nürtingen. It was built from solid blocks of Rätsandstein from Nürtingen. The money for the maintenance was paid by the city and thus by the taxpayer. Everyone had the right to take refuge behind the protective walls, but all men capable of military service had to defend and repair them.
The city fortifications consisted of various protective measures: protective wall, city moat and defense towers. The city moat is mentioned in a document in 1359. One entered the city through four guarded gates (Obertor and Neckartor in the west-east axis, Brunn- and Wörthtor in the south). The eight meter high city wall with its towers was the innermost protective wall. This massive curtain wall was about 1.50-1.60 meters thick and six meters high. The covered battlement , protected by a gable roof, ran over it. Three to four meters in front of the defensive wall ran the approximately man-high Zwinger wall , of which only the foundations have been preserved. The kennel was divided into six kennel yards, which mostly served as herb gardens. The city moat , twelve meters wide and eight meters deep , lay in front of the kennel wall, and a side branch of the Steinach ran through it from the Brunntor to the Neckar. In front of this, the outer moat wall as the outermost ring secured the protective wall, but it has not existed since ancient times.
City fortifications today
Today only a few remains of the city fortifications can be seen. These are the block tower with its defensive wall and the city wall, which are integrated into the remaining wall of the Nürtingen city palace.
Ortsnecknames
The inhabitants of Nürtingen were jokingly with Ortsnecknamen "Heckschnärren" and - called "knitting needles" - from the time the textile industrialization. The Nürtingen SPD therefore awards the "Egg of the Heckschärre" every year on Ash Wednesday as an award "to particularly committed citizens". The Swabian term "Heckschnärr" refers to the corn crake . The sculpture of a "Heckschnärre" also adorns the town hall facade above the clock case.
Religions
The population of Nürtingen originally belonged to the Diocese of Constance and was subordinate to the Archdeaconate Rauhe Alb, Landkapitel Owen-Kirchheim. Since the city belonged to Württemberg early on, the Reformation was introduced here by Duke Ulrich from 1535 , after which Nürtingen was a predominantly Protestant city for centuries. The city and its surrounding area initially belonged to the dean's office in Kirchheim unter Teck. In 1693 the city became the seat of its own deanery (see Nürtingen church district ), whose deanery church is the city church. The parish of Nürtingen grew especially after the Second World War due to immigration and was therefore divided. The Luther parish (church from 1933, destroyed by bombing in 1944, rebuilt in 1973), the Reconciliation Parish (church from 1963), the Stephanus parish (church from 1986) and the parish of Enzenhardt (1992) were created. These five congregations together form the Evangelical Church Community of Nürtingen. The Reformation had also been introduced in the districts due to their early affiliation to Württemberg. That is why today there is an evangelical parish in almost every part of the city and usually also its own church. Hardt forms a parish with Oberensingen, whose church is also in Oberensingen. Raidwangen used to be a branch of Großbettlingen, then of Neckarhausen (but since 1909 with its own church) and is now also its own parish with a branch in Altdorf . All Protestant parishes in the Nürtingen city area still belong to the Deanery of Nürtingen within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
Catholics have only returned to Nürtingen since the late 19th century. For them their own church - St. Johannes Evangelist - was built in Neuffener Strasse in 1907, after they had previously attended church services in Unterboihingen. The church was demolished in 1959/60 after a new building had already been built in 1956 in Vendelaustraße. Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Nürtingen had 850 Catholics. Since the displaced persons assigned afterwards were mostly Catholic, the number of parishioners grew very quickly to over 5,000; this made the new building of the Johanneskirche necessary. The parish of St. Johannes Evangelist today forms the pastoral care unit 3 within the dean's office Esslingen-Nürtingen of the diocese Rottenburg-Stuttgart . The parish also includes parishioners from the districts of Hardt, Neckarhausen, Oberensingen, Reudern, Roßdorf and Zizishausen as well as from the neighboring parish of Wolfschlugen, but these places each form a sub-community of the parish of St. Johannes Evangelist Nürtingen. These places also have their own churches or parish halls: The Edith Stein House in Neckarhausen, the Effata House in Oberensingen, St. Wendelin in Reudern, St. Stephanus in Rossdorf, St. Joseph for Wolfschlugen / Hardt (built in 1982) and St. Nikolaus in Zizishausen. The Catholics from the Raidwangen district belong to the parish of St. Nikolaus von Flüe in the neighboring community of Frickenhausen.
The Stephanushaus and the community center in Roßdorf are an ecumenical initiative . In 1971 the community house was inaugurated in an ecumenical service. Until 1971 only one Protestant pastor's position had been occupied. A year later a Catholic one was added. From then on, both denominations planned an ecumenical community center. Both communities inaugurated the Stephanushaus in September 1986. It contains the Protestant St. Stephen's Church and the St. Stephen's Catholic worship room.
In addition to the two large Christian churches, there are free churches and parishes in Nürtingen , including the Methodist Church with the Christ Chapel in Nürtingen as well as parish halls in Neckarhausen and Raidwangen, the Evangelical Free Church (Baptists) with the Church of the Redeemer in Nürtingen. The "Evangelical Baptist Brethren Congregation" meets in their church on Eberhardstrasse and the Seventh-day Adventists in their community center on Werastrasse. The New Apostolic Church and the Christian Community are also represented in Nürtingen.
The Jewish population in Nuertingen belonged to the Holocaust for the Jewish community Cannstatt , today the "Jewish Religious Community of Württemberg" (IRGW), based in Stuttgart .
There are some Muslim institutions in Nürtingen . The Mevlana Mosque in Tiefenbachstrasse is part of the ( Bölge ) Stuttgart region of the Islamic community Milli Görüs . The Fatih Mosque on Max-Eyth-Straße is operated by ADÜTDF . The Muslim Brotherhood maintains an "Islamic Center" in Frickenhausen .

mayor
At the top of the city of Nürtingen, the mayor and council are named early on. The 12-member court was also the administrative authority. The two mayors were the city officials. There was also a mayor appointed by the sovereign, and later a bailiff. He was head of the city and office. In the 18th century there was a temporary governor.
Since the 19th century, the mayor has been called "Stadtschultheiß", since 1930 mayor, and when it was elevated to a major district town on February 1, 1962, the official title was mayor .

The chairman was Walter Staffa (1917–2011) from Nürtingen , who was a functionary for expellees and a successful local politician. The "German Circle of 1972 e. V. “based in Nürtingen also organizes lecture events in Nürtingen with predominantly right-wing extremist speakers. The chairman is Rolf Kosiek , who is also a board member of the “German Seminar”.

badges and flags
The coat of arms of the city of Nürtingen shows "in gold under a lying black stag pole a red hip horn turned to the left (heraldically) with the mouthpiece on a black fetter, underneath an upright blue diamond." The Nürtingen city flag is blue-yellow. Coats of arms and flags have been used for many centuries. The stag bar refers to the later affiliation of the city to Württemberg, the Hifthorn to claims of the Lords of Nifen (Neuffen) and the blue diamond has not yet been interpreted convincingly. The oldest color representation dates back to 1535.
Every year - on the traditional May Day (see “Regular Events”) - the city flags are hoisted in blue and yellow.
Town twinning
Nürtingen maintains an official city partnership with the following cities :
- Oullins / Département Rhône in France since 1962
- Rhondda Cynon Taf in Wales since 1968
Nürtingen has partnership-like relationships
Youth Council
There has been a youth council in Nürtingen since 1996. 10–15 girls and boys between the ages of 13 and 19 are elected for two years to get involved in matters relevant to young people.
Economy and Infrastructure
The industrialization began in Nürtinger space in the first half of the 19th century. At first, the textile industry was the determining sector. For many years Nürtingen was known as the “City of Knitwear”. With the increasing relocation of textile production to low-wage countries at the end of the 20th century, the importance of this branch of industry for the Nürtingen area decreased more and more, so that at the beginning of the 21st century the mechanical engineering industry was the most important branch. The machine factory Gebr. Heller , founded in 1894, and the power tool manufacturer Metabo , founded in 1924, each employ around 1,700 people in Nürtingen.
Around 15,000 people are currently employed in Nürtingen (as of 2003). Of these, around 5,300 come from Nürtingen itself, 9,700 commute from the surrounding cities and communities to their workplaces in the city. In contrast, there are around 8,600 out- commuters ; many of them are employed by large companies in the Stuttgart region . Overall, Nürtingen has a positive commuter balance.
traffic
The station Nuertingen is located on the Neckar-Alb-Bahn Stuttgart - Tübingen . The regional express runs between Tübingen and Stuttgart at least every hour (half an hour in the afternoon), while the regional train between Plochingen and Tübingen or Herrenberg takes a quarter of an hour . Since December 2009, a pair of InterCity trains has stopped in Nürtingen on the Düsseldorf – Tübingen route. In addition, the Tälesbahn - a branch line of the WEG - runs from Nürtingen station to Neuffen . As far as Nürtingen and then on over the tracks of the valley railway, there is regular freight traffic to the Knauf Interfer Stahl company (formerly: Gnida). The Nürtingen freight yard , on the other hand, is no longer used, it was demolished. There are plans to rebuild the area. In the immediate vicinity of the train station is the central bus station (ZOB), which connects Nürtingen with the city districts and the surrounding communities. All lines in the urban area of Nürtingen run at uniform prices within the Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS).
The federal motorway 8 Stuttgart - Munich runs around 5 km north of the city. Nürtingen can be reached via the Wendlingen (55) and Kirchheim / Teck- West (56) junctions . In addition, the federal highways 297 ( Lorch - Tübingen ) and 313 ( Plochingen - Reutlingen ) run through the city.
The Stuttgart airport is about 15 km from Nuertingen removed.
