history

Antiquity and the Middle Ages

Two Celtic square entrenchments near Nordheim , which were excavated with abundant and varied finds from the 2nd and 1st centuries BC between 1995 and 2000, prove that the Nordheimer Flur was settled by Celts in the late La Tène period .

Today's Nordheim probably goes back to a Franconian foundation. It is first mentioned in a document in 823 .

In 1188 an allodium (dt .: own property) in Northeim is mentioned in a contract between Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa and King Alfons VIII of Castile , in which the marriage of Friedrich's son Konrad with Alfons daughter Berengaria was agreed. This own property, which is presumed to be in Nordheim im Zabergäu, was part of the bride's morning gift along with 29 other Hohenstaufen goods . However, this marriage was never put into practice.

Before 1380 the place came to Württemberg and was part of the northern state border ( Württembergischer Landgraben ) until 1803 . The responsible office was in Brackenheim .

Modern times

Both during the Thirty Years' War and at the end of the 17th century , Nordheim was almost completely destroyed by the effects of the war.

From 1806 the place, which continued to be subordinate to the Oberamt Brackenheim , belonged to the newly established Kingdom of Württemberg . A major fire in 1810 destroyed 47 buildings and the church. Because of its proximity to Heilbronn and the northern route opened by the Württembergische Eisenbahn in 1848 , the formerly agricultural community developed more and more into a residential community, with buildings growing from the old town center further west to the train station in the east. The wine-growing but continued to play a significant role.

Due to the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Nordheim was assigned to the Heilbronn district in 1938 . In 1939 2335 inhabitants were counted, at the end of 1945 there were 2631. In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which in 1952 became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg.

The most important real estate in Nordheim in the 19th and early 20th centuries belonged to the Seybold-von Marval family, who in addition to extensive agricultural land owned a large property in the center of the village, which they had managed by administrators or tenants. The last descendant of the family, Kurt von Marval , made large plots of land available for the development of new building and commercial areas after the Second World War. The former so-called manor house has served as the town hall since the 1960s, and the associated park of around 100 acres forms the green heart of Nordheim.

On January 1, 1975, Nordhausen was incorporated into Nordheim.

Religions

There is a separate Protestant church in Nordheim . The New Apostolic Church is also represented in Nordheim. The Catholic Christians are looked after by the Catholic parish of St. Kilian in Böckingen . Since 1953 they have had the St. Maria Church in Nordheim, which was replaced in 1990 by a new building of the same name.

badges and flags

The blazon of the Nordheim coat of arms reads: In gold, a fallen blue ploughshare. The flag of the municipality is blue and yellow.

The earliest documented seal from 1518 shows a ploughshare with a stag stick above it , as well as a drawing from 1618. A seal from 1724 shows the stag stick above the shield with the ploughshare. The stag's pole is missing on later seals, the ploughshare , which was also documented as a mark of spots in 1684 , remained as the sole coat of arms. The coat of arms colors blue and gold were proposed to the community in 1935 by the Württemberg archive management and accepted. The coat of arms and flag were awarded to the municipality by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior on March 4, 1963.
