Neckar section in Eberbach
View of Eberbach from the Wimmersbacher Steige

The city of Eberbach is located in the north of Baden-Württemberg , around 32 kilometers east of Heidelberg , in the Rhein-Neckar district ( Karlsruhe district ). It belongs to the European metropolitan region of Rhine-Neckar (until May 20, 2003 the Lower Neckar region and until December 31, 2005 the Rhine-Neckar-Odenwald region ).

geography

Geographical location

Eberbach lies in a widening of the Neckar valley at the foot of the Katzenbuckels , the highest elevation in the Odenwald at 626.8  m . It is located in the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park and on the Castle Road . In the north, Eberbach borders on Hesse. The direct connection to Brombach (Eberbach) runs through Hesse. The northernmost point of Eberbach, the Badisch-Schöllenbach district , is only 2 km away from Bavaria . Because of the once meandering Neckar, the district of Eberbach is particularly rich in surrounding mountains . In the immediate city area alone there are two such elevations, the Ohrsberg and the Hungerbuckel; There are a total of five surrounding mountains in the general area.

City structure

In addition to the city center, Eberbach includes the districts Neckarwimmersbach, Brombach , Friedrichsdorf , Lindach, Rockenau, Igelsbach , Gaimühle, Unterdielbach, Badisch-Schöllenbach and Pleutersbach .

The core city and most of the districts are on the right side of the Neckar. Neckarwimmersbach (formerly just Wimmersbach, renamed like this to distinguish it from Waldwimmersbach ), Rockenau and Pleutersbach lie on the left side in the knee of the Neckar, which bends from south to west, in the so-called Small Odenwald . Neckarwimmersbach is located directly on the banks of the Neckar opposite the city center. It has been incorporated into Eberbach since the Neckar Bridge was built in 1899 and has grown together with it, so that the historic town center of Neckarwimmersbach, originally located on a hill above the banks of the Neckar, is practically of no importance today.

The state border with Hesse runs through Igelsbach . Therefore, the north-eastern "Badisch Igelsbach" belongs to Eberbach, while the southwestern half of "Hessisch Igelsbach" belongs to the Hessian Hirschhorn . Similar conditions can be found in Schöllenbach, the greater part of which belongs to the Hessian municipality of Oberzent .

history

Until the 18th century

A noble family of the Lords of Eberbach is first mentioned in 1196, and the Eberbach Castle of the Worms diocese also existed in the high Middle Ages . The castle was first mentioned in 1227 when it was given to Henry VII , a Staufer , as a fief . The development of the town into a town can probably be traced back to him. In 1235 the castle became imperial . In 1297 the castle was pledged to various pawns. In 1321 the city was first mentioned next to the castle. In 1330 the castle and town were pledged to the Count Palatinate near Rhine , who in 1361 still received the right of patronage and by the 16th century managed to transfer the imperial city to the Electoral Palatinate . A cent has been recorded in Eberbach since 1360 , the mayor of the city was the bailiff of the Electoral Palatinate winery . After 1402 the castle was razed by Hans von Hirschhorn .

Between 1528 and 1555, the University of Heidelberg moved its headquarters to Eberbach several times because of the plague that raged there. As part of the Electoral Palatinate, Eberbach was reformed in the 16th century , but in the course of the Counter-Reformation there was a split in faith in the 17th century. The city ​​was only slightly damaged in the Thirty Years War , although the population here too suffered and there was great poverty. The population found their income in the timber industry and processing, fishing and shipping.

19th century

In 1803 Eberbach fell to the Principality of Leiningen , since 1806 the city belonged to Baden and was the seat of the Eberbach District Office until 1924 . There was a post office from 1838, a forestry office from 1841 and a district court from 1857 , and Neckartalstraße was built in 1849. In the years from 1845 to 1855 Eberbach suffered from the agricultural crisis that was prevalent throughout Europe. It was not until the second half of the 19th century that a phase of economic prosperity set in in the Neckar Valley, which in Eberbach was not only due to the freedom of trade from 1862 and the integration into the structures of the German Empire, in particular due to the Neckar Valley Railway, which opened in 1879 and the same time recorded chain towing on the Neckar was favored.

In 1891 the "first state-recognized, state-assisted, state-controlled institute for beekeeping in Germany" opened its doors in Eberbach under the direction of Johann Martin Roth . Eberbach could have become the German bee center, unfortunately negotiations with the city failed to get a plot of land for a new beekeeping school at a reasonable price.

In the late 19th century, the local structure of employment changed. Beginning with a cigar factory, later also with two horsehair spinning mills, a hammer mill, wire goods and machine factories, industry gradually took a firm place in the local working life. In 1895 there were only seven factories, but these already offered so many jobs at the only industrial site among the surrounding towns that around 1900 there were around 100 commuters. Industry in Eberbach flourished after the First World War when large industrial companies settled in the Itter and Gammelsbachtal valleys. The Eberbach Neckar Bridge was completed in 1900. The city grew from 2,400 inhabitants in 1800 to 6,000 around 1900. Neckarwimmersbach was incorporated in 1899, and the Baden part of Igelsbach in 1925.

20th century

As part of the Neckar sewer system, a barrage was built around 1930 and a general cargo port was built. In 1935, after the completion of eleven barrages between Mannheim and Heilbronn, shipping could begin on the Neckar.

The National Socialists described Eberbach as the stronghold of the movement in the Odenwald , but acts of resistance also came up early on: At the beginning of the Nazi era , the social democrat Adolf Knecht tried to remove the swastika flag from the town hall and was shot by SA men in the process. Knecht later honored the Eberbach citizens with a street name.

The Jewish community of Eberbach , which had only developed since the 19th century and flourished around 1900 with a community size of 138 people, was reduced to a community size of only by 1933 , especially in the wake of the global economic crisis of the 1920s due to migration to the cities 38 people still shrank, of whom several people managed to emigrate in the following years. During the November pogrom in 1938 , the synagogue of the Jewish community at the confluence of Adolf-Knecht-Strasse / Brückenstrasse was destroyed, as a memorial stone unveiled on the anniversary of the pogrom night on November 9, 1979 reminds us of, which - after being temporarily stored in a municipal facility - was back in 2013 exactly Place of the former synagogue was erected. As part of a partial redevelopment of the city quarter in which the synagogue was located, a free area with a synagogue square was named apart from the former site of the Jewish church; On the 75th anniversary of the pogrom night on November 9, 2013, another memorial was erected to commemorate the life and fate of the Eberbach Jews. The memorial was designed with the involvement of students from the local Hohenstaufen grammar school. The last 17 Jews living in Eberbach were deported to the Gurs concentration camp in 1940 as part of the deportation of German Jews . With the exception of three people, all of the abducted people died either in Gurs or later in extermination camps in the east. During the Second World War , parts of the old town were destroyed by American aerial bombs and the Neckar Bridge was blown up by members of the Waffen SS one day before US troops took the city. 6% of Eberbach, which had 7,296 inhabitants in 1939, was destroyed by air raids, with 26 people killed.

The Eberbacher Brücke was the first Neckar bridge to be rebuilt in May 1946. In general, there was brisk construction activity in Eberbach in the post-war period due to the prevailing housing shortage. The city curbed the at times haphazard settlement growth in 1954/55 with an extensive general development plan that lasted until the 1970s. In 1966 the housing stock had doubled compared to the pre-war level. At the same time, Eberbach was marked by economic upheaval during the economic miracle . While the previously dominant industry based on natural raw materials experienced an almost complete decline, several electrotechnical, metalworking and chemical-pharmaceutical companies settled there by 1960. Likewise, in the inner city area, which was to be relieved of traffic by Neckaruferstraße in 1961, the number of retail companies initially increased before a large-scale redesign of the inner city in the 1960s attracted service companies in particular.

Old town 1988

The modernization of the city center was also related to plans to start the spa operation in Eberbach with the rediscovered mineral springs - which has since been discontinued. However, many renovation efforts, especially in the early 1970s, including the demolition of several historically significant buildings, turned out to be rather unfavorable in retrospect, so that the old town center was again included in an old town redevelopment program of the state of Baden-Württemberg from 1977, which also eliminated mistakes of previous years was true. From 1983, parts of the city center were designated as a pedestrian zone .

Population development

On December 3, 1859, the Baden census counted 4017 inhabitants, of which 3110 were "Protestants", 875 "Catholics", 3 "dissidents" and 29 "Israelites", in 392 families. The "increase" since the last census in 1855 was 75.

Incorporations

Neckarwimmersbach was incorporated into the municipality in 1899. The Baden part of the Igelsbach community was added in 1925 (Badisch-Igelsbach).

On January 1, 1973 Lindach and Friedrichsdorf were incorporated, on December 31, 1973 Pleutersbach. Brombach and Rockenau followed on January 1, 1975. The suburbs mostly share the history of the city, so were already mentioned in the Middle Ages, from the 14th century in the Electoral Palatinate and after 1803 in Baden, in the case of the larger villages as independent communities.

coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: In silver (white) on a lowered blue wavy bar a black wild boar (boar) striding to the right .

The flag is blue / white (blue / silver). As an imperial city, Eberbach may originally have had the imperial eagle in its coat of arms. The imperial eagle was on the city wall at the upper gate. A photo, taken in 1909, has been preserved, as has the coat of arms stone that can be seen today in the city museum. The current talking coat of arms can be evidenced as a seal imprint since 1387. However, the appearance of the boar is very different from its current form, which was adopted in 1976.

Town twinning

Partnerships are maintained with Thonon-les-Bains ( Lake Geneva , France) and Ephrata (Lancaster County, Pennsylvania , USA).

Culture and sights

Buildings

Ruins of Eberbach Castle

Eberbach is located on the Castle Road , which leads from Mannheim to Prague and is particularly rich in castles and sights in this section of the Neckar Valley.

The Eberbach castle ruins above the town on one of the hills of the Odenwald was an important medieval castle that was destroyed in 1403 and only exposed again at the beginning of the 20th century. The large complex consisted of three spatially separated individual castles, of which imposing remains of the wall testify. On the Ohrsberg , which has now been enclosed by the town's development, was the Ohrsberg Castle , an old hilltop castle that has so far been little explored, of which only ditches around the mountain plateau and very few wall remains have been preserved. In a forest above Eberbach are the ruins of the Emichsburg, which was only built as a hunting lodge in 1828 .

The historic old town, which is now largely a pedestrian zone, has four well-preserved towers of the medieval city fortifications: The Powder Tower was built as a two-wing corner tower on the older corner fortifications of the medieval city wall from the 13th century and forms its northwestern end. The tower clock of the tower was built in 1766 by the Eberbach clockmaker Jakob Braun. The blue hat from the 14th century with its striking, shimmering blue slate roof marks the southwest end of the old town. The ground floor of the 14th century reel tower on Lindenplatz was temporarily the city dungeon and could only be reached from the upper floor by means of a cable winch (reel). Today there is a tin figure museum in the tower. The Rose Tower is the oldest and the only round tower of the city. The building with its 2 meter thick walls probably dates from the 13th century when the city was first fortified and was originally called the Roßbrunner Tower. In addition, the remains of the city ​​wall and the late Romanesque Bettendorf Gate have been preserved.

The old town hall from 1823 on the market square is one of the most successful works of the powerful Weinbrenner style ( classicism in Baden ). Johann Thierry, one of Friedrich Weinbrenner's most talented students, proved himself to be a master builder . The building, which is located on the historic Old Market , now houses a museum and was the third town hall building at this point. The first town hall was demolished in 1480, followed by a successor building that lasted until 1814 and gave way to the current building due to its disrepair. The ensemble on the market square is supplemented by other historical buildings. The historical "Hotel Karpfen" shows scenes and people from the city's history executed in sgraffito technique on its facade facing the market. Further sgraffiti with old, typical regional professions can be seen at the “Krabbenstein” inn.

The oldest stone building is the Thalheimsche Haus near the Pulverturm, once the seat of the Eberbach winery in the Electoral Palatinate , Leiningen's hunting lodge in the early 19th century , then district court and from 1965 to 1991 town hall, today the information center of the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park .

The Protestant St. Michael's Church from 1836 was built on the site of a St. Mary's Chapel that had existed since the 15th century at the latest. The Catholic parish church of St. Johannes Nepomuk was built by Ludwig Maier from 1884 to 1887 as a three-aisled building with two towers in the style of the Italian Renaissance. In 2005 the new building of the New Apostolic Church was completed. The modern building by the renowned Stuttgart architect Helmut Dasch is built in the style of contemporary modernism.

The city is rich in historical half-timbered houses . The most ornate ones are those at the Eberbacher Hof (former imperial city palace), which dates from the early 16th century , namely the Bettendorf house with Bettendorf gate and the Wecker house opposite (also called barracks ). The old bath house goes back to a medieval bath room with cross vaults, the neighboring Spohr house by the Haspelturm has a neat bay window.

There are numerous historical and modern fountains throughout the village , including a heraldic fountain with the coats of arms of all parts of the city, in front of the new town hall as well as the Kurpfalzbrunnen and the Neckarfischerbrunnen at Thalheimschen Haus. At the town hall there is also an imposing historical monument for those who participated in the war in 1870/71. Along the Neckar promenade there are various other monuments, u. a. a commemorative plaque to the American monastery founder Conrad Beissel, who emigrated from Eberbach, a Treidler memorial that depicts how the Neckar ships used to be pulled up the river by human strength , the Reifschneider sculpture to commemorate the occupation that used to be widespread here, the sculpture of a bark knocker , Women who used to work wood bark to tan leather, a stone carving monument that relates to a profession that was practiced for centuries in dozens of Eberbach red sandstone quarries, and (at the fishing fountain in the courtyard of the Thalheim House ) a sandstone recovered from the Neckar, the Has traces of historical chain tug shipping.

In the districts, historical buildings and monuments bear witness to the history of the places. In Neckarwimmersbach, the cuckoo fountain marks the historic center of the village. In Rockenau there are the ruins of Stolzeneck Castle and an old town hall and school building from 1894 with a war memorial. The Protestant Church of Refuge was built in 1959. The Rockenau barrage in the Neckar is also located here . There is also a historic town hall in Lindach. The old town hall of Pleutersbach, now used as a residential building, can still be recognized due to its bell tower and siren. The Pleutersbacher church is also more recent. Sandstone troughs as well as historical farm buildings attest to the agricultural tradition of the districts.

Above the Stolzeneck ruins, in the middle of the forest on the southern Hebert, lies the small Holy Cross Chapel, a former pilgrimage chapel that was built in 1516 and is known as the "Kirchel".

Natural monuments

In the urban forest of Eberbach, 200 m above the Steige settlement, there is one of the tallest trees in Germany , a Douglas fir ⊙ with a height of 61.60 meters (as of March 2008 - measured by the University of Karlsruhe, Geodetic Institute). The tree has grown since then and, according to the tree register, had already reached a height of 63.50 m in 2016.

There are various geological natural monuments in Eberbach. These are natural rock formations, block fields and former quarry walls, all in the lower and middle red sandstone.

Museums

Several museums can be found in Eberbach:

  • Local history museum of the city of Eberbach
  • Cooperage museum
  • Tin figures cabinet

Regular events

The following regular events can be attended in Eberbach:

  • Apple Day: mid-October, in downtown Eberbach
  • Wild garlic days: mid-March to mid-April (Eberbach has officially protected the name wild garlic capital )
  • Spring Festival ( Eberbacher Frühling ): mid-May (every Friday after Ascension Day up to and including the following Sunday)
  • Cuckoo Market: The Eberbach Cuckoo Market is a folk festival on the last weekend in August (Friday to Tuesday). The name goes back to an event documented in court records: In an inn in Neckarwimmersbach, which was still independent at the time, an Eberbacher was served a cuckoo instead of the pigeon he had ordered, which he also consumed and then sued the landlord. This cuckoo trial was fought at the Eberbacher Central Court, which was subject to the supervision of the Electoral Palatinate. The judgment text of January 8, 1605 has since been discovered in the holdings of the General State Archives in Karlsruhe. Today the cuckoo market takes place in Neckarwimmersbach itself, in the sports area "In der Au" and further towards Neckarbrücke. Previously, it was celebrated on the right bank of the Neckar in the old town between the powder tower and the “Grüner Baum” inn, and before that on the bank of the Neckar (“Neckarlauer”), which has now been built over with a bypass. The annual Eberbach Spring Festival ( Eberbach Spring ) takes place in the old town and in the immediately adjacent urban area .

Economy and Infrastructure

End station of the Odenwaldbahn
S-Bahn line S 1 in the station
