history

The first evidence of settlement in the Early Iron Age (8th – 6th centuries BC) was found around 2.2 kilometers south of Rulfingen and 1.8 kilometers northwest of Rosna in 1890 in the forest "Fohrenstock" in the form of two burial mounds by the Fürstlich Hohenzollern archivist Karl Theodor Zingeler excavated. At least two burial mounds are located around two kilometers south-southwest of the village in the "Roßbühl" forest; Zingeler dug a mound 24 meters in diameter and 2.7 meters in height around 1890. Not far from Rulfingen, the paving of a Roman road towards Messkirch was discovered on the Ablach Canal . Bent tubes and a ferrule from a bronze sword were found near Zielfingen in the Ablachtal valley.

The village was first mentioned in 1231 when a knight Albero and Mr. Wernher de Ruolvingen as witnesses. 1304 Werner, his son Ulrich and his nephew Ulrich von Ruelfingen are named. The name "Rulfingen" probably comes from Rudolf , the leader of an Alemannic tribe .

The place was originally in the area of Goldineshuntare , then in Gau Ratoldesbuch and from 1290 in the rule, from 1460 Grafschaft Sigmaringen . In the 14th century, the village was largely owned by the Lindau Kanonissenstift . In addition, the convents of Mengen, Weingarten and Salem were wealthy.

Zielfingen ( 573.5  m above sea level ) is mentioned in the Habsburg land register as Zielvingen 1292. The place name (Zioltingen) is probably due to "Ziuwolf", a Swabian male name. Count Eberhardt der Milde pledged Zielfingen and other places to Count Eberhard von Werdenberg in 1399 . Tithe rights of the Buchau women's monastery are documented in 1478 and 1704. The Meierhof zu Zielfingen probably belonged to Bingen , one of the properties that were acquired at the same time as the city of Scheer . Through the Rhine Federation Act , Zielfingen was awarded to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen via the Habsthal Monastery .

The Grafschaft Sigmaringen passed through the hands of the houses of Württemberg and Werdenberg and in 1535 came to the County of Hohenzollern , which was divided in 1576, Rulfingen belonged to the County of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , which was elevated to a principality in 1623. In 1805 the Austrian feudal sovereignty ends .

With the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Rulfingen and Zielfingen came to Prussia in 1850 as part of the Hohenzollern Lands . From 1806 the places belonged to the first princely and from 1850 Prussian Oberamt Sigmaringen and from 1925 to the district of Sigmaringen.

Until the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg, Rulfingen and its suburb of Zielfingen were an independent municipality; on January 1, 1975, the place was incorporated into Mengen.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Old church in Rulfingen
  • There is a chapel in Zielfingen. When St. Agathe and Blasius was first mentioned in 1256, the building dates from the 17th century.
  • The Rulfingen parish church of St. Ulrich was built from 1759 to 1761 by Johann Michael Beer von Bildstein together with two people from Dornbirn, master builder Martin Ilg and master carpenter Hans Jakob Stoffler . The flat-roofed church was stuccoed in 1760 by Johann Jakob Schwarzmann . The church consecration took place on July 4, 1760 by the Constance Auxiliary Bishop Franz Karl Josef, Count von Fugger, in the presence of the Reich Prelate Georg Strobel von Petershausen. Historical documents show that a parish already existed in Rulfingen in 1275, and in 1304 as a branch. Around 1700 there was a chapel dedicated to Ortisei, but the exact location is not known. The name Ulrich von Augsburg as patron is mentioned as early as 1420. The church maintenance in Rulfingen was incumbent on the monastery to Mengen: until 1725 Wilhelmites , 1725–1735 Benedictines from the monastery of St. Blasien , 1735–1773 Benedictines from the monastery Petershausen . The St. Ulrich's Chapel was demolished in the Petershausen era and the current old church was built in 1759.
  • The new church is a modern structure consisting of a church, sacristy, Wendelinussaal and rectory. It is a concise architectural testimony to the 20th century. The church was consecrated in 1974. Later, the parish hall was expanded in a lot of personal effort. The colorful windows in the church, the organ, church and outdoor facilities have meanwhile been renovated. In 2011 the new way of the cross is to be inaugurated.
  • There is also a fountain and a Lourdes grotto in Rulfingen, which is maintained by the Rulfingen Fruit and Horticultural Association .
  • On the county road 8239, the local connection route from Hausen am Andelsbach to Rulfingen, there is a small monument around 1.5 kilometers from the village.

Natural monuments

  • The Gigele , or Gigeleberg formerly Kügelebühl , is the local mountain and at the same time the highest point of the village. There is a legend according to which the Gigeleweible, also Kügeleweib, resides in him. A way of the cross with stone steps, laid out around 1900, led up the wooded slope, where the Gigelekreuz, a large stone cross with a cross pedestal and pedestal, is located. The cross was made in 1909 by the then stonemason Johann Ott from Rulfingen. Ott returned from the First World War injured. He had built the Rulfingen war memorial in 1923. The stations of the Way of the Cross have disappeared in the course of the development. The origin can be assumed as a Celtic grave mound from the Hallstatt period like the tree castle near Hundersingen or as a medieval castle mound . In the 13th century a local noble family, the Ritte von Rulfingen, is mentioned. The Gigele could have been their castle seat, although no traces of settlement such as ceramics or roof tiles can be found around the Gigele. It is also assumed that the Gigele was the castle site of the Burkhardshausen settlement east of the Gigele. The name Gigele comes from “gügeln, hold a view”.
  • There are several lakes in the Upper Swabian Lake District (Südsee and Zielfingersee) in the districts of Rulfingen and Zielfingen . The mud flats and islands in South Sea II offer valuable breeding opportunities for lapwing.

Theater & cabaret

A former church building was converted into the cabaret old church in Rulfingen .
