Schöllbronn is on the edge of the northern Black Forest and is a district of Ettlingen . In May 2005, the 3000 inhabitant mark was reached for the first time. The place is known for its forest swimming pool and the church of St. Bonifatius built in 1880 . The neo-Gothic church is also often referred to by the Schöllbronn population as the " Cathedral of the Alb valley ", as it is quite large for an ordinary village church.
geography
Schöllbronn is between 210 m above sea level and 400 m above sea level, the town hall square (in front of the church) is 330.2 m above sea level. The district area is around 681 hectares , of which 379 hectares are forest (56% of the Schöllbronn district). Thus, Schöllbronn has most of the forest area within the Ettlinger district.
history
Schöllbronn was first mentioned in a document in 1254 as "Villa Scheltebrunnen" and is one of the oldest settlements on the left Alb plateau.
In 1435 the village charter was granted.
Schöllbronn only became completely Baden in 1457 after the old feudal lords had sold their property to the margraviate of Baden for 2,700 guilders . After the division of the margraviate in 1535, the people of Schöllbronn had to change their denomination eight times within 100 years .
The Thirty Years' War did not stop at Schöllbronn either, and during the War of the Polish Succession there were isolated battles on the Ettlinger lines (still visible today between Schöllbronn and Spessart).
After the Second World War , Schöllbronn was occupied by French troops.
The place was designated as a resort in 1970, but an official appointment as a climatic health resort was never sought. Today, however, tourism no longer plays a particularly important role. Schöllbronn has well-developed hiking trails, shelters and a barbecue area.
Schöllbronn has been a district of the large district town of Ettlingen since October 1, 1974 , after a merger with the neighboring communities of Spessart , Schluttenbach (both now also districts of Ettlingen) and Völkersbach (now part of the municipality of Malsch ) during the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg . to the community of Schönreuth had failed. The people of Schöllbronn attach great importance to the fact that this is not an incorporation , but a voluntary amalgamation (unlike the village of Spessart).

politics

Due to the false choice of part of the town , Schöllbronn was represented with two votes in the Ettlingen municipal council. After the abolition of the false choice of suburbs, the local population feared that Schöllbronn residents would no longer move into the city's general council and thus reduce the representation of political interests. This was not confirmed, as in 2009 two Schöllbronners and in 2014 even three Schöllbronners were elected to the Ettlingen municipal council. In the local elections in 2019, however, no Schöllbronner was elected to the local council.
