history

Nagold 1899

Prehistory, antiquity and the Middle Ages

It is assumed that the Nagold Valley has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. In the time of the Romans there was a Roman manor at today's upper church. Under the Alemanni there was probably a loose court settlement near the mouth of the Waldach, which at the time of the Franks , when the so-called Nagoldgau formed around Nagold , condensed into a prince's court with village settlement. The place is mentioned for the first time as the seat of Nagoldgaugrafen Gerold , a brother-in-law of Emperor Charlemagne , as villa Nagaltuna in a document dated May 3, 786 (documented in a book in the monastery of St. Gallen ). It is likely that around the year 800, on the site of Hohennagold Castle, which was built around 1100, there was an early medieval refuge over the Franconian royal court near the Remigius Church . Other early counts in Nagoldgau mentioned by name included Anselm (around 966) and Hugo I (around 1007).

Count Hugo III. , a brother of Counts Anselm and Sigibot , moved his seat from Nagold to Tübingen around 1078, but continued to use the castle in Nagold to secure his rule. Count Hugo V. von Nagold was the first Count Palatine of Tübingen since 1146 .

Mechthild, the daughter of Count Palatine Rudolf II , brought Hohennagold Castle as a dowry to the marriage with Count Burkhard von Hohenberg. Their daughter Gertrud became the family mother of the House of Habsburg . Under the Count of Hohenberg , who came from Oberhohenberg ( Oberhohenberg Castle ) near Deilingen and who had appeared in the walled town since 1170, Nagold came to the County of Hohenberg in 1247. In 1260 this was divided and Nagold became the ruler's seat of the northern half under Burkhart IV. In 1300 the Nagold rule was also divided into the Nagold and Wildberger parts, with Count Otto I receiving the Nagold part. After a further division of the Wildberger part, the von Hohenbergs sold their four small counties to different gentlemen, whereby Otto II. Von Hohenberg-Nagold sold his county with the city of Nagold in 1363 to the counts of Württemberg . The other counties went to the Palatinate and Austria, among others.

Württemberg time

Nagold in Württemberg soon became the seat of an office , the boundaries of which have changed several times in the course of history. In the Thirty Years' War , after the lost battle of Nördlingen , Nagold also felt the effects of troops moving through, billeting and the plague, so that the city fell into disrepair at the end of the war. The subsequent wars of succession and coalition played out again and again around Nagold, so that the times of need lasted until after 1800, when a period of political stability followed 10 years after the elevation of Württemberg to a kingdom . Even after the regional reforms were completed in 1813, the city ​​remained the seat of the Nagold Regional Office , which had existed since 1759, and thus remained a district town. In 1821 the deanery was moved from Wildberg to Nagold. When the Kingdom of Württemberg was divided into four districts, Nagold came to the Black Forest district . On June 20, 1872 was Nagold station opened and the city on the Black Forest and Nagold train on the route network of Württembergische Eisenbahn connected.

Nagold 1906

A catastrophic event in Nagold's history at the beginning of the 20th century was the collapse of the Hirsch Gasthaus on April 5, 1906. When the Stuttgart entrepreneur Erasmus Rückgauer tried to lift the inn , the structure became unstable and finally collapsed. 53 people were killed and around 100 were seriously injured.

Nagold was a stronghold of the NSDAP from an early age . In the Reichstag election in May 1924 , the NSDAP achieved 19.4% in Nagold, while it received only 6.5% in the German Reich.

In 1938 an administrative reform was carried out in Württemberg during the Nazi era and in the course of this the Nagold District Office (or, since 1934, the Nagold District) was dissolved. The area came mainly to the district of Calw .

post war period

After the Second World War, the city of Nagold 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. With the district reform on January 1, 1973 , the district of Calw reached its present size. The district also became part of the newly founded Northern Black Forest region , which was assigned to the then newly circumscribed administrative district of Karlsruhe . The former Württemberg city of Nagold is now also administered from the former Baden capital, Karlsruhe.

Right-wing extremist parties were again successful in Nagold in the post-war period. In the state elections in 1968 , the NPD candidate was elected to the state parliament via the second count. In 1992 and 1996 , the candidate of the REP also succeeded in entering the state parliament through the second count.

In 1980 the population of the city of Nagold exceeded the 20,000 mark. Thereupon the city administration submitted the application for a large district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg then complied with with effect from January 1, 1981.

Churches

Protestant churches

Emmingen

The Oswaldkirche Emmingen was built in 1778 by adding the nave to a chapel from the 14th / 15th centuries, the basic structure of which still forms the present-day choir. Senior building officer Heinrich Dolmetsch renovated it in 1895 and arranged for the purchase and installation of the neo-Gothic pulpit opposite the three-sided gallery, which was previously installed in the Anglican (now Old Catholic ) church on Katharinenplatz in Stuttgart in 1868. During the renovation in 1929 by the Stuttgart architect Werner Klatte , an extension to the west of the nave, the addition of a sacristy and the color glazing of the choir windows were implemented. Rudolf Yelin the Elder J. provided two tracery windows (the middle one was closed to accommodate the choir organ) with glass paintings of the four evangelists and their symbols .

Hochdorf

The Gothic Michaelskirche Hochdorf stands out with its elegant octagonal spire on a square tower. Renovations are known from the years 1881, 1935, 1955 and around 2010, whereby in 1955 the gallery (with organ) that reached into the choir was removed and a new organ was initially installed in the choir, although it was removed during the most recent renovation and thorough modernization. The three colored windows in the 3/8 closed choir were created in 1935 by the Bietigheim artist Adolf Hess (1893–1953): Faith, love and hope ( 1 Cor 13:13  LUT ) are green in the color triad (hope: Sermon on the Mount and discipleship - left), Red (love: passion and resurrection - center) and blue (loyalty and faith: birth and baptism of Jesus - right). The earlier choir center window (Inviting Christ) and an ornament window are still preserved from around 1900.

Iselshausen

The Jakobuskirche Iselshausen was built in 1757 instead of a previous church from 1395. It carries a high ridge turret for the bells in the west. The interior is decorated with paintings of the apostles from the period of construction on the gallery parapet.

Mindersbach

The small church in Mindersbach was built in 1770 in a classical style with a western roof turret.

Nagold

  • Remigius Church: It is the oldest of the Nagold churches and stands on a former Roman estate . A first Alemannic church building already existed here around 680. The present church was built in 773 and is Romanesque with Gothic changes and extensions (e.g. the extended choir and the baptistery). Roman columns that were used to build the church can still be seen in the choir arch. Significant frescoes from the years 1320–1325 with depictions of the life of Jesus have been preserved inside, including an unusual scene in which the caring mother Mary apparently accompanies her child Jesus, who is carrying a fibula, to the first day of school. At the beginning of the 16th century, further frescoes were added in the area of ​​the baptistery. They show the saints Apollonia , Margareta and Ursula . In 1555 Nagold and with it the Remigius Church became Protestant. A beguinage previously connected to the churchwas closed and the frescoes were painted over. They were only rediscovered in 1880 and uncovered in 1920. After extensive renovation work, the Remigius Church was used again as a parish church in 1965. All the windows were designed by the Fürstenberg glass artist Emil Kiess : the choir windows as a "happy call and appeal to the community", in the nave, little tinted glasses for more light, and in the baptistery, the waves of water and the Holy Spirit are colorful. Today a modern lighting system lets both the frescoes and the entire interior of the church appear in atmospheric light.
  • Johanneskirche - Stadtkirche : The first town church , built around 1360 as a chapel consecrated to the Virgin Mary within the city walls, expanded in 1401, provided with a tower and choir and probably soon afterwards elevated to parish church, had become too small and dilapidated in the 19th century. After the completion of the Johanneskirche, it was demolished in 1876/77, whereby the "old tower" on the corner of Marktstrasse and Turmstrasse was preserved and today serves as the landmark of the city of Nagold. The double lantern in his helmet is characteristic. The floor plan of the old church can be seen from the paving of the pedestrian area at the base of the tower. As a new Protestant church was the Stuttgart Planning Director Theodore of Landauer the Johannes church designed and built until 1874 at state expense 1870th Architecturally, it is considered to be the successor to the Johanneskirche in Stuttgart on Feuersee by senior building officer Christian Friedrich von Leins and, compared to other neo-Gothic churches, shows its own architectural features that convey a generous feeling of space inside. The interior renovation from 1968 to 1970 unfortunately removed most of the fine neo-Gothic elements, so that only the exterior corresponds to the original plan. Shortly after the Second World War, this already affected the color-glazed choir windows donated by King Karl of Württemberg in 1874. They were gradually replaced by more modern glass paintings by Adolf Valentin Saile : Faith, love and hope ( 1 Cor 13:13  LUT ) are designed as a triad of colors: 1952 choir window center (passion; red main tone = love of Christ until death), 1954 Choir window on the left (Christmas; blue = faithfulness to God and human belief) and in 1969 choir window on the right (resurrection, Pentecost; green = hope and discipleship). The tower of the three-aisled building is 60 meters high and towers monumentally into the sky, especially when viewed from below the entrance stairs. The architects Panzer & Oberdörfer from Tübingen took care of the interior renovation in 2006.

Pfrondorf

The Nikolauskirche Pfrondorf was built in 1728 from a pilgrimage chapel from 1445, which forms the choir of the current church, where the organ is set up a little higher. The nave is not axially symmetrical to the choir, as it was widened to the north and there was provided with a covered gallery on the outside.

Schietingen

The Nikolauskirche Schietingen was built in 1575 as a hall church with a west tower and a straight room closure in the east and rebuilt in 1782. The east window is lead-glazed in delicate tones and is non-representational.

Vollmaringen

  • In 2007, the Bonhoeffer Community Center in Vollmaringen became the focus and worship area of ​​the parish through the renovation of a grocery store.
  • The Londorfer Chapel in the Vollmaringen district is essentially Romanesque. It lies between the parishes of Iselshausen , Mötzingen and Vollmaringen in the open countryside and is surrounded by a cemetery that is used by the Vollmaringer parish and was formerly the church of the abandoned village of Londorf. In the western part of the church building remains of the Romanesque masonry have been preserved. In the 15th century the chapel was extended to the east and provided with a polygonal east end. In the chapel there is a late Gothic wood carving and a stone crucifix from 1589.
