About this picture

Neuweiler is a municipality in the Calw district in Baden-Württemberg . It belongs to the Northern Black Forest region .

geography

Geographical location

The community is located on an extensive plateau in the northern Black Forest between the rivers Nagold and Enz , the Enz-Nagold-Platte . The municipality, which extends between 438 and 786 meters above sea level, is part of the Black Forest Middle / North Nature Park . Each of the municipality's settlements is surrounded by dense forests, which make up almost 80% of the municipality's area. The Teinach , a tributary of the Nagold, rises in a small nature reserve in the Neuweiler district .

Neighboring communities

Neighboring towns of Neuweiler are ( clockwise , starting in the north): Bad Wildbad , Oberreichenbach , Bad Teinach-Zavelstein , Neubulach , Altensteig and Simmersfeld , which all belong to the district of Calw. With Bad Teinach-Zavelstein and Neubulach, Neuweiler entered into a municipal administration association decreed by the legislator in connection with the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1975 and forms the municipal administration association Teinachtal with the two cities .

Community structure

The municipality of Neuweiler is made up of the (until 1974 independent) municipalities of Agenbach (state-recognized resort ), Breitenberg, Gaugenwald , Neuweiler, Oberkollwangen and Zwerenberg (state-recognized resort).

  • The village of Agenbach and the hamlet of Agenbacher Sägemühle on federal highway 294 belong to the former municipality of Agenbach .
  • The Breitenberg settlement, the Dachshof homestead and the hamlets of Glasmühle and Weikenmühle belong to the former municipality of Breitenberg.
  • The village of Gaugenwald and the houses on Grenzweg on the outskirts of Zwerenberg in the Gewann Aisbach belong to the former community of Gaugenwald.
  • The villages Neuweiler and Hofstett belong to the municipality of Neuweiler within the boundaries of 1974, and until 1850 the so-called mountain villages Aichelberg, Hünerberg, Meistern, Rehmühle and Kälbermühle also belonged to the Neuweiler district. From 1850, the mountain villages achieved independence as the municipality of Bergorte. In 1974 these were incorporated into Bad Wildbad as part of the municipal reform.
  • Only the villages of the same name belong to the former communities of Oberkollwangen and Zwerenberg.

history

All the villages were probably created as Waldhufendörfer in the course of the 11th century . The arrangement of the courtyard, which is characteristic of this type of settlement, followed by fields and then the forest, can still be seen in some places today. Gaugenwald was first mentioned in a document in 1139; the other districts were mostly mentioned in the 14th century. The history of Neuweiler also includes the Fautsburg and the mountain towns of Aichelberg, Hünerberg, Meistern, Rehmühle and Kälbermühle, which are now part of Bad Wildbad, and which were part of the Neuweiler office until 1850. Aichelberg, Hünerberg, Meistern, Rehmühle and Kälbermühle were granted communal independence as a municipality of Bergorte because of the geography with the small Enz Valley and the mountains, which is difficult to overcome, especially in winter. Later the name was changed to the municipality of Aichelberg and in 1974 it was incorporated into the town of Bad Wildbad. Today the Fautsburg Rundwanderweg / historical Fautsburg circular hiking trail also presents the history of Neuweiler in addition to the history of the mountain villages.

With the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Agenbach, Breitenberg, Neuweiler, Oberkollwangen and Zwerenberg came to the Oberamt Calw in 1810 , but the town of Gaugenwald to the Oberamt Nagold . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg in 1938, all of today's suburbs in Neuweiler became part of the Calw district.

On January 1, 1975, the community of Neuweiler was created in its current form through the merger of the former communities of Agenbach, Breitenberg, Gaugenwald, Neuweiler, Oberkollwangen and Zwerenberg.

The Oberkollwanger coat of arms was never a formal design that was supposed to symbolize a silver brook between green areas according to the location of the village; the brook once formed the border between the duchies of Franconia and Alemanni and the dioceses of Speyer and Constance .

Parishes

In the Romanesque period, the current suburbs of Neuweiler belonged either to Ebhausen or to Effringen before they became ecclesiastical. Today the formerly independent evangelical parishes of the suburbs belong to two different parishes in Neuweiler: Agenbach, Breitenberg, Neuweiler and Oberkollwangen to the Evangelical parish of Neuweiler, Gaugenwald and Zwerenberg to the Evangelical composite parish of Zwerenberg. Aichelberg, which belonged to the Neuweiler district until 1850, to the Neuweiler municipality until 1973 and to the Calw church district until the end of 2018 , with its Art Nouveau church has been a district of the city of Bad Wildbad since 1974 and has been part of the Neuenbürg church district since January 1, 2019 .

The Catholic Christians belong - depending on where they live - to different Catholic parishes in the neighboring communities. There is a New Apostolic Church in Neuweiler.

Economy and Infrastructure

Established businesses

Glass mill in the Teinach valley

The Neuweiler industrial estate includes companies from the geothermal energy , bus transport, beverage trade, timber trade, furniture / interior design, chemicals, metal, automotive and special vehicle construction sectors, etc. The company is the largest employer in the community with more than 350 jobs Veyhl in the Zwerenberg district, a manufacturer and product developer for components and assemblies for the office furniture industry . Around 650 commercial jobs are available in the municipality.

In Neuweiler-Breitenberg, the Solarpark GbR is currently the largest solar plant in the northern Black Forest. Since the end of 2005 , electricity has been generated here on an area of ​​around 1.7 hectares or a collector area of ​​around 5,000 m², with an output of 940 kWp , to supply around 350 households per year.

Another novelty is the geothermal park in Neuweiler; a building area in which only geothermal energy is used for the purposes of heating and cooling buildings. As part of a model project, the heating and cooling of the existing roads are to be implemented for the first time in Germany.

Hotels and restaurants

The only certified nature park hotel in the community of Neuweiler in the Black Forest Middle / North is the Landhotel Talblick and has been in the third generation in the Oberkollwangen district since 1965, a forest hoof village with a direct view of the border between the duchies of Franconia and Alemann and the dioceses of Speyer and Constancy. This hotel, along with many other gastronomic establishments, is part of a large number of overnight stays and excursions in the Neuweiler community and is part of the Upper Forest area. A part of the traditional activities such as the charcoal making and cone picking were carried out here . Extensive images can be viewed in the "Oberer Wald" bar of the Landhotel Talblick Nature Park. The pictures all come from the archive of the honorary citizen and former mayor Hans Schabert.

education

With the forest school, Neuweiler has a primary and secondary school with a technical secondary school . The primary school offers childcare from 7.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. There is a kindergarten in each of the districts of Neuweiler, Agenbach, Breitenberg and Zwerenberg. The educational offer is supplemented by courses at the adult education center and a community library.

Culture and sights

Protestant churches

Churches, some of which are 500 or more years old, are in Breitenberg, Gaugenwald, Neuweiler and Oberkollwangen. The modern church in Agenbach forms an interesting contrast. In Zwerenberg, the 19th century church still preserves an early remains of the tower.

Agenbach

Resurrection Church Agenbach, at the same time funeral hall

The Agenbach Church of the Resurrection was designed by the Stuttgart architect Martin Stockburger (1929–2015) and inaugurated on October 29, 1967 (height: 12.5 m with cross). The bourgeois community supported the plans and had a laying out and equipment room built for the cemetery. The Stuttgart artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler designed the thick concrete glass window in 1967 (Palm Sunday motif: Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey) and in 1974 the wrought iron altar wall cross with bread and wine motifs. The prayer bell (B'-bell) weighs 440 kg and bears the inscription “Alles was Odem”. The two-line C-bell weighs 310 kg and bears the inscription "Jesus Christ yesterday and today and the same in eternity".

Breitenberg

Breitenberg initially belonged to Effringen ecclesiastically. In 1512 Breitenberg became its own parish. The originally Romanesque choir tower church was later changed several times.

Gaugenwald

In terms of the church, Gaugenwald initially belonged to Ebhausen, in 1849 it was assigned to the parish of Zwerenberg. The smallest village church in Baden-Württemberg, in which a church service takes place regularly, was first mentioned in a document in 1080. The one-room hall church , which is owned by the bourgeois community, burned down in 1688, was demolished and replaced by the current building.

Neuweiler

The Neuweiler Stephanuskirche was built in several construction phases. The Romanesque barrel vault in the tower chamber on the ground floor is the only reminder of a previous Romanesque chapel. It had the typical location at a crossroads and may have been standing before Neuweiler was developed as a Waldhufensiedlung in the 11th or 12th century. The red sandstone tower that encloses the chapel can be assigned to the 12th century in terms of its design (pincer holes in the carefully carved corner stones). The reliquary and name of the fortified church: Stephanuskirche , probably dates back to this time of secured settlement . Parts of the nave and the Gothic font are to be assigned to the 15th or 16th century. The wooden gallery in the younger nave bears the year 1526 on a main column.

A symbol of increasing spiritual independence is the four evangelist bell from 1456, cast in C sharp by the Reutlingen bell caster Hans Eger . The tower, which is 33 meters high today, must have been without a roof in those days; the bell was attached to a belfry in the open air , which is betrayed by old traces of the weather. The church tower was not roofed over until the Baroque period (total height with church tower cock: 36 m).

With the lift of the first pastor Georg Silber in 1565, Neuweiler received its own Protestant parish. During the Thirty Years' War , citizens of Calw found hiding from the imperial troops in Neuweiler in 1634, among them Johann Valentin Andreae , who was granted asylum by the befriended pastor Jeremias Rebstock from Neuweiler. The wooden, painted epitaph from 1631 commemorates Rebstocks' woman who died in 1630.

The church wall dates from 1822 and surrounds the churchyard. The year 1641, which was put forward earlier, is an upside-down door lintel from 1792.

In 1927, donations from the poor people of Hofstett and Neuweiler completed the bells - for 13 years - until the Nazi regime melted down the new bells for armament purposes in 1940. The replacement bells from 1949 were of poor quality, one even cracked. In 1969, today's new bells were cast at the hour of Jesus' death and hung up in 1971 as part of an extensive exterior renovation of the church, during which the tower ball was also re-equipped and the Neuweiler cockerel was raised by a forged cross.

The earlier southward orientation of the interior from the end of the 16th century was related to the post-Reformation understanding of worship and the new cross-church concept : wide orientation of the numerous listening and seating areas as close as possible to the pulpit on the southern long side. The Neuweiler church owes its current interior view to the fundamental redesign in 1955/1956. The old altar, a mighty boulder, has been lost since then. The altar, baptismal font and pulpit were moved from the south side of the nave to the east. The Gothic baptismal font (in the center of the church until 1955) was given its new place in front of the new baptismal window. The choir and baptismal windows were artistically designed by Wolf-Dieter Kohler , as was the coffered ceiling. The organ was integrated into the sacristy annex. A Romanesque consecration cross that was exposed in the process was transformed into an altar cross by Helmuth Uhrig with a corpus. In 1975 the wooden panel was put on the wall. The sacrificial canes , artistically carved out of root wood, were designed and manufactured by Reinhold Kirn. The octagonal confirmation and Easter candlestick also came from his hand.

Oberkollwangen

Church in Oberkollwangen

Oberkollwangen initially belonged to Effringen. There was already a branch church in Romanesque times, which was first mentioned in 1411. In 1512 a common parish was established for Breitenberg and Oberkollwangen. The church in Oberkollwangen was consecrated to Saints Catherine, Barbara and the Twelve Apostles. It has been called the Church of Our Lady since 1525 . The current construction of the church dates mainly from 1595, the tower is still Romanesque.

Zwerenberg

In terms of church, Zwerenberg initially belonged to Ebhausen. Since the Romanesque period there was a separate branch church. In 1489 Zwerenberg became an independent parish. The choir tower of today's church dates in parts from the 12th and 13th centuries. The new building plans in 1840 by Calwer building inspector fishermen were from Württemberg court architect Gottlob Georg Barth revised and according to the "normal plan established by the State Churches" in 1847 Kameralamtsstil realized. The original pulpit altar wall became free for the large mural by Wolf-Dieter Kohler after the reconstruction in 1955–1959 : In the middle the motif of the ((mercy seat)) s (God's hand offers the world the sacrifice of the crucified, and the dove of the saint Spirit testifies to the divine mission of Christ). Angel choirs float around adoring the love of God revealed on the cross. From below, the cross of Christ receives meaning and interpretation for the history of lost humanity. On the left is temptation and fall, and thus the origin of sin and death. In contrast to the tree of knowledge with its disastrous fruit, the cross of Christ is interpreted as the tree of life, and a stream of living water flows from there towards the thirsty human being. On the right opposite Christ is shown with the victory flag, how he takes power from death and how Michael fights the dragon.
