history

The origin of the hamlet is unclear. In 1449 the name appears as “Nydernzelle” in the documents of the neighboring Gutenzell women's monastery (1238 “Cella Die”, 1267 “Bona Cella”). In the late Middle Ages, Niedernzell consisted of a single farm. In 1701 there were four Leiblehen farms with 70-80 Jauchert and one farm with 40 Jauchert. During the reign of Abbess Maria Alexandra Zimmermann (1759–1776), daughter of the Bavarian plasterer and master builder Dominikus Zimmermann , the monastery received blood jurisdiction from the Upper Bailiwick of Swabia . In this blood court district Niedernzell is noted, next to Bollsberg, Dissenhausen, Weitenbühl and Huggenlaubach. In 1806 Niedernzell was incorporated into the Kingdom of Württemberg . The hamlet has been part of the Gutenzell-Hürbel community since 1975.
economy
Agriculture is a defining trade in Niedernzell. The biogas plants built by individual farmers in Niedernzell after the turn of the millennium cover the electricity needs of over 300 households.
Buildings
The Wendelinus Chapel was commissioned by the monastery in 1746, during the tenure of Maria Bernarda von Donnersberg (1718–1747). The simple beaver-tail-roofed nave ends in a three-eighth choir. There is an octagonal roof turret with an onion hood above the non-easted entrance portal . In the four sound openings there are bells but no tower clock . In the interior there are baroque stalls and a Christ at the pillar of torture from the 18th century. The altar contains a plastic representation of the Holy Family with God the Father, around whom angels and putti crowd.
Regular events
The Wendelinusritt is an equestrian procession to the Wendelinus Chapel, which takes place annually on the third Sunday in September with up to 800 procession riders in up to twenty-seven groups of blood riders and eight music bands and fanfares . It was revived in 1947 by the then local pastor of Gutenzell Erwin Sonntag. He brought a Wendelinus relic from the tomb of St. Wendelin , the Wendalinus basilica in St. Wendel . After the blood rides in Weingarten and Bad Wurzach, the procession is the third largest equestrian procession in Upper Swabia .
