Roßwag is a district of the large district town of Vaihingen an der Enz in the Ludwigsburg district , has around 1,300 inhabitants and is known as a wine-growing place .
geography
location
Roßwag is located on the Enz , about 30 km northwest of Stuttgart and 3 km west of Vaihingen an der Enz at an altitude of 218 meters. It belongs to Vaihingen an der Enz in the Ludwigsburg district and is right on the border with the Enz district .
Surroundings
The Enz forms a wide loop open to the north near Roßwag. The landscape around Roßwag is dominated by the valley of the middle Enz, which has formed the characteristic Enz valley loops on its way through the upper Muschelkalk . Even if the Roßwager feel they belong to the Heckengäu , which stretches along the eastern edge of the northern Black Forest to the area south of Nagold , from a physical and geographical point of view , their marking is counted as part of the Strohgäu in the natural area of the Neckar Basin .
Neighboring places of the district are Illingen and Mühlhausen an der Enz . In addition, the Vaihinger district boundaries Aurich and the Mühlacker district United Glattbach denunciation of the former Roßwager.
natural reserve
Around the Enzschleife south of Roßwag is the nature reserve (NSG) Enzaue near Roßwag and Burghalde with the most varied of site conditions: wide meadow meadows with meadow irrigation ditches and natural bank vegetation, oxbow lakes, rebound slopes, spring outlets with tuff formation and deciduous forest. The NSG Roter Rain and the surrounding area are located at the Altroßwag ruins . From Roßwag to Leinfelder Hof , the Enzaue is largely designated as a landscape protection area, which overlaps the Roßwager boundary with the FFH area 7018–342 “Enztal bei Mühlacker”. At the northern edge of the marking there is also the small LSG "Breite Egert", on the area of which a desolate settlement could once have been.
Viticulture
The steep, sun-exposed vineyard terraces established the reputation of Roßwager wines in the last century. The Enz Valley between Mühlacker and Vaihingen is one of the few wine-growing regions in Württemberg with pure, mineral-rich limestone soils. Roßwag has its own wine cooperative , and many local winegrowers deliver their grapes to the press . The multiple award-winning cooperative wines are also marketed directly here. The Roßwag-Mühlhausen cooperative winery has now also been joined by the Markgröningen winegrowers' cooperative .
history
Early history
A group of flattened burial mounds in the "Laihle", a high forest on the southern border of the district, presumably dates from the Hallstatt period .
Various soil and grave finds in the village itself and south of it indicate that Roßwag was already settled in the time of the Merovingians .
Medieval local rule
In 1148 Roßwag or the noble free Werner von Roßwag was first mentioned in a document. The Lords of Roßwag built their headquarters, Altroßwag Castle on the slope to the left of the Enz, in the 11th or 12th century. On the side of the Hohenstaufen they increased their possessions and came to political influence. So Albert was imperial of Roßwag Hofrichter of Frederick II. In the late 13th century the local nobility to split the village and right of the Enz , the castle Neuroßwag have built.
In 1300, with the consent of his brother, the local pastor Burkard von Roßwag, the noble free Rudolf von Roßwag sold the patronage rights to the Martinskirche in Roßwag to the Maulbronn monastery . After both lines of the local aristocracy died out and Roßwag had been sold in 1394 by their successors, the Lords of Stein and the Counts of Württemberg, to the Maulbronn Monastery, Altroßwag Castle was abandoned to decay and Neurosswag Castle at the request of Count Eberhard III. demolished by Württemberg . The procedure was so thorough that no remains can be found and their location on the right side of the Enz in the vicinity of the “Schlosswiesen”, “In der Burg”, “Burghalde” and “Hinter der Chapel” tubs south of Roßwag cannot be precisely located .
Modern times
Until the Reformation , the Roßwager parish belonged to the Vaihingen regional chapter in the Archdiaconate Trinity of the Diocese of Speyer . In the years from 1652 to 1661 and 1693 to 1703, the Protestant superintendent was connected to the Roßwager parish over the entire district of the Württemberg monastery in Maulbronn. After this monastery office was divided into two dioceses, the upper of the two was again linked to Roßwag from 1703 to 1744. Then this “upper superintendent” was moved to Dürrmenz .
The place was badly damaged during the Thirty Years War , as well as by the French invasions during the Palatinate and Spanish War of Succession . In the course of Enz corrections in the 19th century, the Enzarm to the left of the former Wörth was drained and the Roßwager Enzbrücke was relocated to its current location.
From the secularization in the course of the Reformation, Roßwag had belonged politically to the Wuerttemberg monastery office Maulbronn . In 1806 the place came to the Oberamt Vaihingen , which was expanded in 1938 to the district of Vaihingen . On March 1, 1972, Roßwag was incorporated into Vaihingen an der Enz and lost its independence.
On December 21, 1993, the place experienced a devastating flood caused by a dam breach. In 2006 the new Roßwager wine press was used for the first time.
coat of arms
The coat of arms of Roßwag shows a five-petalled, blue-seeded golden rose in red. The coat of arms symbolizes the place name, which does not come from a horse but from a rose, and comes from the former local nobility, the noble lords of Roßwag . As a community symbol, it was first recorded in the community seal in 1903.
Culture
Buildings
The town center with many old half-timbered houses and the Martinskirche, a fortified church built by the Lords of Roßwag in place of a previous building in the 13th century , which was largely given its current form with a late Gothic choir in the 15th century, is worth seeing . Most of the walls of the fortified church were torn down in 1842.
The "not very handsome town hall, built in 1706, used to belong to a local citizen" and is said to have been acquired by the municipality around 1800.
The Community Ortbild Roßwag (GOR) is committed to the preservation of the historic town center and the maintenance of the cultural landscape.
