City structure

The city of Neubulach is divided into the five districts of Altbulach, Liebelsberg, Martinsmoos, Neubulach and Oberhaugstett. The district of Altbulach is in turn divided into the four sub-districts of Altbulach, Seitzental, Kohlerstal and Teinach station, which are not delimited from one another. The districts are spatially identical to the earlier municipalities of the same name, their official name as well as that of the subdistricts of the district of Altbulach is in the form "Neubulach - district ...". The districts also form residential districts within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code, with the Seitzental, Kohlerstal and Teinach sub-districts of the Altbulach district together forming the "Talorte" residential district and the Altbulach sub-district forming the "Altbulach" residential district.

The Altbulach district includes the village of Altbulach, the hamlets of Kohlerstal and Seitzental and the towns of electricity works and marble works. The Liebelsberg district includes the village of Liebelsberg, the Lautenbachhof homestead and the Teinachtal houses. Only the villages of the same name belong to the districts of Martinsmoos and Oberhaugstett. The city of Neubulach and the village of Lochsägmühle belong to the district of Neubulach.

history

middle Ages

Altbulach was mentioned for the first time in 1390, but it could have originated around 800 and received the prefix Alt- in the place name to distinguish it from the town (Neu-) Bulach, which only emerged in the 13th century. Oberhaugstett was first mentioned in 1355, Liebelsberg in 1374 and Martinsmoos in 1075. All three places are certainly much older, Liebelsberg and Martinsmoos were laid out as Waldhufendorf .

Neubulach, mostly just called Bulach until 1799, is a particularly well-preserved small medieval mining town and was first mentioned in 1275, silver mining in 1286. In the 13th century, mining evidently had its heyday, which perhaps lasted into the 14th century. A mining settlement was probably created in the process, which the Counts of Hohenberg raised to the city of Bulach around 1274 . Occasionally it is assumed that mining could have started before the 13th century, but so far there is no evidence of this. In 1364 the Counts of Hohenberg sold the town and rule of Bulach, including the mine, to the Electors of the Palatinate , who then sold them on to the Counts of Württemberg in 1440 .

Allegedly Neubulach burned down around 1326, a second fire occurred in 1505. During the Peasants' War in 1525, Neubulach was occupied by the peasants. Contrary to what is sometimes claimed, the city was neither set on fire nor the (presumably closed) mine destroyed.

Modern times

In modern times, mining in Neubulach had long past its heyday, further attempts were made around 1478, in the 1530s, 1551–1553, 1557–1563, 1567–1568, 1594–1608, 1656–1657, 1718–1727, 1747– 1761, 1773–1790 ( excavation of the water tunnel) and finally 1820–1831 (1822–1831 excavation of the Wilhelm tunnel, now known as the Hella Glück tunnel). It was found again and again that the deposit had already been mined so deeply in the Middle Ages that there were no more profitable ores available.

In 1807, when the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg, Neubulach came from the Wildberg Office to the Nagold Upper Office and finally to the Calw Upper Office in 1812 .

During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Neubulach became part of the Calw district in 1938.

In 1916–1932 and 1937–1945, various companies tried to extract gold and bismuth underground, mainly from the old dumps.

After the Second World War, Neubulach fell into the French occupation zone and in 1947 came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern . In 1952, the provisional post-war state was added to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern and has since been part of the new federal state of Baden-Württemberg.

In 1972 a therapy station for the treatment of respiratory diseases was set up in the tunnel of the medieval silver mine "Hella-Glück" .

With the district reform on January 1, 1973 , the district of Calw became part of the newly established Northern Black Forest region , which was assigned to the administrative district of Karlsruhe . Since then, Pforzheim and Karlsruhe have also been involved in the decision-making process for Neubulach.

The present city was re-formed on January 1, 1975 by the merger of the city of Neubulach and the communities of Altbulach, Liebelsberg, Martinsmoos and Oberhaugstett.

The Evangelical Church Community of Neubulach in the Calw-Nagold church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg comprises the core city and the districts of Altbulach , Liebelsberg and Oberhaugstett of the city of Neubulach. The Martinsmoos district forms its own parish, which is part of the Zwerenberg network. Since the city was founded, Neubulach was initially a branch of Effringen, then in 1443 it became the seat of the parish instead of Effringen. The parish was finally confirmed after the Reformation.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Landesstraße 348 runs through Neubulach and Oberhaugstett from the direction of Calw to Altensteig. The federal highway 463 leads from Horb to Pforzheim through the Nagoldtal and thus over the Neubulacher district . The next motorway connections to the A 81 , around 25 km away, are in Herrenberg and Gärtringen.

Neubulach has a train station on the Nagold Valley Railway from Horb to Pforzheim, which is served every half hour in both directions. The train station is located about 5 km northeast of the city center in the Nagold Valley, so the districts are reached by buses that leave from the train station after most train arrivals. In addition, there are direct buses to Calw, Wildberg and Altensteig from all parts of the city. All public transport in Neubulach is integrated into the community-wide tariff of the transport company Bäderkreis Calw .

Churches

Protestant churches

• Altbulach : Ecclesiastically, Altbulach first belonged to Effringen, then to Neubulach. The place has an old church from the 12th century, which still has a Romanesque nave. In 1445 it was extended by a late Gothic choir with high pointed arched windows with their fine tracery, a sacrament house and the richly decorated net vault, and from 1508 onwards it was called St. Mauritius Church . The earlier importance and then the expansion and upgrading of the church was probably related to the local convent of the pious women’s community of beguines and the support from the Hirsau monastery . After the Reformation, larger window openings were broken into the Romanesque north and south walls of the nave so that more light could flow in and thus the bright light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was underlined. A fundamental renovation was completed in 1966 with an increase in the nave using old parts of the roof, the removal of the north gallery and old pulpit, changes to the windows and the installation of a new altar. The remaining historical choir window slugs from 1493 were used for the nave and the choir windows were newly colored non-representationally by the Stuttgart glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler . The local sculptor Albert Volz created the stone block altar with impressive depictions of the biblical story of creation.
• Liebelsberg : In terms of church, Liebelsberg first belonged to Effringen, then to Neubulach. A branch chapel of St. Bartholomew was mentioned in 1537. It was converted into a school building in 1842. In 1978, a new building with service, parish and ancillary rooms was built on the preserved tower with tower choir. The choir of the Bartholomäuskirche received three choir windows from Wolf-Dieter Kohler (left the Old Testament personalities Moses, Elijah and Isaiah as references to Christ; middle: life and work of Jesus; right the goal of all paths: Last Judgment, fight against evil, rulership of Christ and heavenly Jerusalem). The altar cross with candlesticks was made by the Altbulach sculptor Albert Volz, the wall crucifix by the local sculptor Peter Steyer.
• Martinsmoos : Ecclesiastically, Martinsmoos initially belonged to the Ebhausen parish, from the 16th century to the Zwerenberg parish. The church in Martinsmoos goes back to an originally Romanesque chapel. A new nave was added to the late Romanesque tower of the church originally dedicated to St. Conrad in 1955 and the choir window in the tower choir was designed by Stuttgart glass artist Adolf Valentin Saile with excerpts from the Passion and Easter stories. The crucifix is ​​probably a carving from around 1500.
• Neubulach : A church in Neubulach was probably built when the city was founded. It was initially a branch of Effringen. In 1412 it is referred to as the St. Ulrich's Church, in 1508 St. Jodokus . It came to Konrad Grückler from Stein am Rhein monastery in 1379. In 1443 Neubulach became the seat of the parish instead of Effringen. The parish was finally confirmed after the Reformation. Today's church has a Romanesque tower from shortly after 1200. The Gothic nave, which was built around 1430, was only rebuilt in 1568 and changed in 1683 after the devastating city fire of 1505. Grave slabs and smaller stone sculptures indicate that for 400 years (from 1370 to 1790) Bulach was the "hereditary parish" of the wealthy and art-loving "church gentlemen" family Grückler. Behind the altar crucifix from 1648 is the middle choir window from around 1920 by the Stuttgart artist Rudolf Yelin the Elder. Ä. In memory of those who fell in World War I, it was designed with the image of the risen Lord Jesus Christ. For the light glazing of the two windows to the left and right of it, his son Rudolf Yelin the Elder created J. 1935 Bible texts and New Testament symbols as glass inlays.
• Oberhaugstett first belonged to Effringen, then to Neubulach. The oldest part of the Bartholomäuskirche Oberhaugstett is the Romanesque tower choir with numerous frescoes depicting martyrs, the legend of Martin and the redeemed, who walk towards the heavenly bridegroom. In 1972 a new nave was added to it. The Stuttgart glass artist Anna-Dorothea Kunz-Saile created a choir window as early as 1966 (risen in the midst of the hearing disciples with the doubting Thomas, sent "all over the world", evangelist symbols in the corners of the window point in the four directions of the earth) and then in 1972 New ship building a pulpit window (the word from the cross in Annunciation and Sacrament, fish symbol).
