history
prehistory
The grave of an Alemannic nobleman from the time of the Migration Period (dating around 460–480 AD) was found in Validlingen, the so-called grave field of Validlingen . Among the grave goods was a splendid spangenhelm and a gold handle spatha . The finds are now kept in the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart. Such weapons were reserved for the ruling class, which points to an important position of the place in this early period.
Until the 19th century
Wildberg was first mentioned in a document on April 23, 1188. The occasion was the marriage contract of Konrad II, Duke of Swabia and Rothenburg , the second youngest son of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa, with the Spanish princess Berengaria of Castile . While the Counts of Hohenberg have been in Wildberg since 1237, the Count Palatine of Tübingen never appear in a document. In 1364 Wildberg became part of the Electoral Palatinate and in 1440 part of Württemberg ; until 1807 it was the seat of a Württemberg office . In 1618 the castle was destroyed after a fire caused by a lightning strike . It was only rebuilt as a castle in 1698 and destroyed again in an air raid on February 22, 1945.
19th century
At the time of the Kingdom of Württemberg Wildberg was part of the Nagold District Office . The old Wildberg office was dissolved in 1807 as part of the new administrative structure of Württemberg . In 1838, the pastor Karl Georg Haldenwang (1803–1862) from Simmozheim founded the first disabled pedagogical facility in Southern Germany with the “rescue house for feeble-minded children” . On June 20, 1872 Wildberg was connected to the route network of the Württemberg railway via the Black Forest and Nagold Railway .
20th century
During the Nazi era in Württemberg , Wildberg and most of the communities in the Nagold district were assigned to the Calw district in 1938 . After the Second World War, Wildberg fell into the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 . 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 became part of the newly established Northern Black Forest region , which was assigned to the administrative district of Karlsruhe . Since then, Pforzheim and Karlsruhe have also been involved in decisions about Wildberg's affairs. Today's city was re-formed on January 1, 1975 by the merger of the city of Wildberg and the communities of Effringen, Validlingen and Sulz am Eck. On April 1, 1971, Schönbronn was incorporated into Wildberg.
Religions
Wildberg has been evangelical since the Reformation . The Protestant parishes of Wildberg and the districts of Effringen, Schönbronn, Validlingen and Sulz am Eck belong to the Calw-Nagold church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . The Catholic Church Wildberg belongs to the parish of St. Petrus and Paulus Nagold and thus to the pastoral care unit Upper Nagoldtal and to the deanery of Calw .

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Wildberg is connected to the national rail network by the Nagold Valley Railway ( Pforzheim - Horb am Neckar - Tübingen ). Trains to Pforzheim and Tübingen run every 30/60 minutes.
Buses to Gärtringen and Herrenberg run every hour, so there is a connection to the Stuttgart S-Bahn and the Ammertalbahn in the direction of Tübingen and Reutlingen.
The most important thoroughfare is federal road 463 , which also follows the course of the Nagold Valley . About the on Deckenpfronn and Gaertringen leading past road L357 and L358 On Sulz am Eck and Mr. Berg is A81 just a few minutes.
Between May 2009 and July 2013, the city ran a pilot city bus project , which was primarily intended to promote the mobility of senior citizens and handicapped people. During the day, a handicapped-accessible mini low-floor bus connected all the settlements and districts of Wildberg with one another every hour. In the residential areas it was possible to “stop on call” , and in the city center fixed stops were made. With financial support from the district, the city bus was included in the tariff for the public transport company Bäderkreis Calw with rail and regional buses. This special form of operation was terminated in July 2013 because the city bus, which ran between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., was mainly used by young people in the afternoon instead of the targeted seniors. After that, on September 1, 2013, the city administration went back to a normal line schedule, with a focus on regional connections to S-Bahn stations in the neighboring district of Böblingen .
The Wächtersberg-Hub airfield is a special airfield and is located about one kilometer southeast of Wildberg.
Educational institutions
Wildberg has a secondary school and a secondary school , which are combined in the "Wildberg Education Center". There is also a primary school in the core city and in the districts of Effringen, Sulz am Eck and Validlingen .
Churches
Effring
The Evangelical Church of Our Lady in Effringen is one of the most beautiful village churches in Württemberg. This Marienkirche from 1379/1502 had a Romanesque predecessor. On the remaining tower from 1300, the Gothic choir was built from 1379 by the new patron saint Conrad Grückler from Bulach, as the previously authorized Stein am Rhein monastery was no longer financially able to do this. This choir became the patronage burial place of the Grückler and contains corresponding grave slabs. The rich parish priests of the Grückler family could be filled over several generations with clergymen. The sacristy and the furnishings of the choir with its niches, frescoes and choir stalls date from the end of the 15th century. The cycle of pictures on the left shows Maria, who gave the church its name, and the "four great virgins" Katharina, Dorothea, Barbara and Margaretha, on the right next to the choir arch St. George. The church was completed with the construction of the late Gothic three-aisled nave with stone pulpit from 1502. Its special design, especially of the central nave vault, consists of the sky hole framed by the evangelist symbols , the rich, original and realistic painting of plants and animals to depict a sky or paradise garden with pronounced Christian plant symbolism (around 1520) in all vaulted areas and in figurative architectural sculpture on vaulted consoles and keystones. As a result of the Reformation introduced in Württemberg in 1534, the Effringer "Kirchherr" and Neubulach pastor Gallus Grückler sold the Effringer patronage right to Duke Ulrich and became the first Protestant pastor here. The organ case comes from the Rococo. A glass painting from 1420, namely a crucifixion group, has been preserved and inserted in the east window of the south wall of the nave after the restoration in 1957. In 1964, the Stuttgart glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler designed the glass painting opposite in the north aisle and the non-representational colored glazing in the choir. In the old Romanesque font, the baptismal window contains several themes (from bottom to top): a family and congregation gathered for baptism, looking up to the modern version of the medieval depiction of the mercy seat for the Trinity and thus the three articles of the creed . The image fields above the central Holy Spirit motif of the dove show hopes at the end of the days: unusual are the two groups of people accepted in the Last Judgment (the damned are missing!) And in the middle of heavenly Jerusalem the Lamb of God, from whose heart a river of living water ( Rev 22:13 LUT ) goes out. The Marienkirche Effringen was renovated inside and out by architect Hermann Hornbacher in 1964.
Validlingen
As a former fortified church, the Michaelskirche in Validlingen is almost completely surrounded by a defensive wall up to 1.5 meters wide and 3.5 meters high - and up to the 19th century it was also surrounded by a floodable ditch. It was built between 1465 and 1467, with the sacristy with Romanesque elements being the oldest part. The choir originally had a reticulated vault. In front of the clear-glazed tracery windows there is the organ with 13 registers from 1815 by the organ builder Weinmar from Bondorf with a magnificent baroque prospect. The interior renovations and redesigns of 1958/59 with the removal of the upper gallery and changes to the remaining gallery and enlargement of the window openings in the nave made the church brighter and friendlier.
Schönbronn
The Protestant church in Schönbronn was expanded from a chapel to a simple hall church in 1776 .
Sulz at the corner
The Protestant Michaelskirche in Sulz am Eck is surrounded by a massive wall and is located on a small hill above the Agenbach. It was first mentioned in 1449, a previous building as early as 1311, whose choir tower from the middle of the 12th century with its choir vault (today sacristy) became the choir side tower when the nave was rebuilt in 1489. The choir tower sacristy contains remarkable Romanesque and late Gothic stone carvings. Since the expansion in 1750, the nave has had a coffered ceiling painted with floral ornaments, a high-footed pulpit with a Romanesque baptismal font in front of it and a Baroque organ front. An extension was built in 2005.
Wildberg
- The Protestant Martinskirche was built in 1467. Before that, Wildberg and its branch church belonged to Sulz am Eck under the patronage of Reuthin Monastery , which became independent in 1392. Its building was destroyed in the great city fire in 1464. The new building in 1467 was designed as a three-aisled basilica, with the choir in particular coming from Aberlin Jörg , the builder of the collegiate, Leonhards and Spitalkirche in Stuttgart and other churches in the state. The church council builder Wilhelm Friedrich Goez redesigned the nave in 1772/73 into a single-nave hall without rows of columns with a three-sided gallery and built an organ gallery into the choir. There, in the vaulted choir behind the expressive altar crucifix, the organ with rococo prospectus was fundamentally renewed and restored in 1979. The war damage from 1945 was repaired in 1955 by Oberbaurat Ostermeier. The last interior renovation in 2015 was headed by architect Rolf Kugel. The base of the nave side tower contains a side choir chapel with an old baptismal font and several epitaphs . Since 1934, through the colored lead glass window in six biblical images (Jesus crucified, deceased and risen) by the Stuttgart artist Walter Kohler, it has also been used to commemorate the fallen. Three modern stained glass windows were created by the Stuttgart painter and sculptor Willy Wiedmann in a rare so-called policon painting : 1976 the Jerusalem window in the south wall of the choir (above: Heavenly Jerusalem as a goal of promise and hope, including the parable of the Good Samaritan in ten small, abstract image areas) and in 1979 in the north wall of the ship two more, the window of St. Martin and the window of Jesus' anointing (by the sinner Lk 7.36-50 LUT or through Maria Joh 12.1-8 LUT ). All three windows deal with the commandment to love one's neighbor ( Joh 13,34 NIV I give you a new commandment ).
- The Catholic Church of Our Lady was built in 1963–1965.
