history
Until the 18th century
Alpirsbach emerged as a settlement around the eponymous 1095 by Bishop Gebhard III. Alpirsbach Monastery consecrated by Constance, a Zähringer . The name Alpirsbach is probably related to Adalbert von Zollern , one of the founders of the monastery. The Alpirsbach property was also a locus , which means that there was already a settlement on it. It was found by the monks and must have existed for some time, which is also indicated by the information that the three founders owned the predium Alpirspach by virtue of inheritance law. The -bach name Alpirsbach has the personal name Adalbirn in the foreground . It was ultimately also taken over by the monastery. With the abolition of the Benedictine abbey due to the Reformation , Alpirsbach became the seat of a Wuerttemberg monastery office , which led to the growth of the settlement surrounding the Alpirsbach monastery, because craftsmen, officials and guild representatives settled here.
Mining (gold, silver and cobalt) led to prosperity in the community since the late 17th century.
19th and 20th centuries
After the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg , the monastery office was abolished in 1810 and Alpirsbach came to the Oberamt Oberndorf . The departure of the authorities also led to a decline in prosperity and population. In the middle of the 19th century, poverty led to increased emigration, especially to Wisconsin . In 1861 the first volunteer fire brigade in the entire Oberndorf Oberamt was formed in Alpirsbach . After the situation had improved, King Karl von Württemberg granted the municipality of Alpirsbach town rights in 1869 . On November 3, 1886, Alpirsbach had a connection to the rail network of the Württemberg railway through the Kinzig Valley Railway . The municipal hospital with twelve beds was opened in May 1897.
The administrative reform of April 25, 1938 led to membership in the Freudenstadt district . On May 3, 1938, the neighboring town of Rötenbach was incorporated. After the Second World War, the city of Alpirsbach fell into the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
A flood in December 1947 caused considerable damage.
religion
The Reformation was introduced in Alpirsbach in 1535. The Alpirsbach monastery was abolished. Although the monastery came under Roman Catholic rule again during the so-called interim from 1548 to 1552 , the new Protestant denomination was then able to establish itself permanently.
In the former Benedictine abbey, whose most famous evangelical abbot was Johann Albrecht Bengel , evangelical Christians have been meeting since 1933 as Church Work Alpirsbach to revive worship, praise, adoration and intercession in the evangelical church. The meaning of the church should be considered and the church and its members should turn from the renewal of worship to a renewal of church and society. They cultivate the choral prayer , which is largely unknown in the Protestant Church today, and the Gregorian chant , which they want to regain for the Protestant liturgy .
The Catholic parish of St. Benedict uses the former refectory of the monastery as its church room. The altar wall was designed by Wilhelm Geyer .
