Schatthausen is a village in the Rhein-Neckar district in the north-west of Baden-Württemberg . It is a district of the large district town of Wiesloch and has 1595 inhabitants ( as of December 31, 2005 ) .

geography

Schatthausen is located in the north of the Kraichgau natural area near the southern tip of the sandstone Odenwald . Neighboring communities are Baiertal in the south and Gauangelloch in the north, as well as Meckesheim and Mauer in the east and Nussloch in the west. The village is also five kilometers northeast of the core city of Wiesloch and about 15 kilometers southeast of the university town of Heidelberg .

Schatthausen is located in the upper valley of the Gauangelbach , which it flows through in a south-westerly direction. In the local area the Krumbach , the Gänsbach and the Ochsenbach flow one after the other . A distinction is made between the lower village in the Gauangelbach valley, the upper village on the Gänsbach in the southeast, to which the Scheerbach still runs, a larger new development area that extends up the Störchelberg to the right of the Gauangelbach , and a smaller new development area west of it beyond the Ochsenbachmulde.

history

The place was first mentioned in writing under the name Schadehusen in 1294 in the course of a court sale. At that time it was subject to the jurisdiction of the Meckesheimer Zent . In the high Middle Ages, Schatthausen was not yet viewed as a separate place, but the castle with the castle estate and village were still part of other rulers. In the high Middle Ages, the castle estate was probably owned by the noble free von Hohenhart , around 1300 the family of ministers of the same name von Hohenhart and Messrs. Gabel von Obrigheim shared ownership. Later, the gentlemen of Sickingen acquired a share of the Schatthausen, which they were able to expand around 1400 through the marriage of Schwarz-Reinhard von Sickingen and Margarete Gabel von Obrigheim. After Sickingen's death around 1439, the property passed to the Counts of Neipperg and from them to Philipp Sturmfeder . When Hans Sturmfeder divided the inheritance among his children in 1562, the Schatthausen area that belonged to the youngest daughter Katharina and her husband Hans von Bettendorff was treated as a separate unit for the first time. Around 1590 the place was jointly administered by two Bettendorff brothers, who sold the place to the Kechler von Schwandorf family due to overindebtedness, who sold the place to Eberhard von Weitershausen in 1599 . Since the Bettendorff had sold the place with mortgages, there were long disputes with the creditors that dragged on until after the Thirty Years' War . Only the Gerner von Lilienstein family , into which one of the two Weitershausen heirs had married around 1660, was able to satisfy the creditors. In the 1670s, Wollrad von Brüggen († 1685), a Gerner son-in-law, took over local rule. His son August Erich Philipp von Brüggen rebuilt the place, which was still marked by the Thirty Years War, from around 1700 onwards. He also brought back into his possession the church patronage of the reformed village, which was sold by the local authorities in the 14th century . To rebuild the place he also settled Catholics and Anabaptists, who were initially denied the practice of religion. His children remained unmarried and managed the place together.

Since the jurisdiction of the Schatthausen rule fell to the Electoral Palatinate in the 14th century , the aristocratic lords repeatedly fought for special rights against the Electoral Palatinate, including in the central treaty of 1560. The Electoral Palatinate gradually curtailed these rights again from the 17th century, especially in the time around 1700, when the local rulers lived in Speyer and the officials of the Dilsberg office offered themselves as a closer court instance. Around 1750 the office of Dilsberg intervened particularly strongly in the remaining special rights of the local lords. Presumably, Dilsberg made use of the backing of the Schatthausener Catholics, whom the local rulers had been denying their own meeting room for several decades and who, with support from Dilsberg, increasingly came into opposition to the local rulers. The last surviving daughter of Brüggen, Wilhelmine, finally failed to manage the place. She bequeathed the place to her nephew Karl von Zyllnhardt , who had also inherited the place Mauer . In 1795 he granted the local Catholics a prayer room, but was unable to resolve the local social tensions.

In the 19th century, following the dissolution of the Electoral Palatinate, rule passed to the Grand Duchy of Baden , in which Zyllnhardt local lords again asserted special rights. Via Karl von Zyllnhardt's daughter, who married Karl Göler von Ravensburg in 1826, Schatthausen came to the Göler von Ravensburg , who own the castle estate to this day. The special rights of local rule were lost with the replacement of the aristocratic privileges and the standardization of the Baden laws, in which Karl Göler von Ravensburg had not least contributed. The tensions between the lords of the castle and the municipality remained tense at that time, but improved again after the electoral rights ceased to exist in 1848. After all, the castle estate was also the town's most important employer and the landlord contributed to the welfare of the political community with foundations and donations.

While Schatthausen was a rather poor farming village in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was later possible to develop new branches of the economy with tobacco growing and lime extraction . From the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century there was a mine in the limestone quarry on the Hummelberg in Schatthausen.

From May 14, 1901 to 1968, Schatthausen owned a train station on the Wiesloch – Meckesheim railway line , which lost its passenger services on June 1, 1964.

In the course of the regional reform, Schatthausen was incorporated into Wiesloch on January 31, 1972 .

Culture and sights

Volunteer firefighter

For its residents, the city holds Wiesloch a department fire department ready to Civil Protection to ensure optimal. The Schatthausen volunteer fire brigade consists of active members as well as a senior team and a youth fire brigade . The Schatthaus fire brigade is equipped with a fire fighting vehicle (LF 8/6), a multi-purpose vehicle (MZF) and a trailer.

Buildings

  • The moated castle Schatthausen was built after 1562 by von Bettendorff, presumably on the site of an earlier manor house and later rebuilt several times. The three-wing, three-storey complex is now owned by the Göler von Ravensburg family and is surrounded by an intact moat. The castle estate once also included a farm yard and a mill.
  • The Protestant church in the center of the village was built from 1746 to 1749 on the site of a previous building that had been destroyed by flooding, and in 1903 it was rebuilt and the bell tower was added according to plans by Hermann Behaghel . The original pews and the baroque pulpit of the church fell victim to a renovation around 1965. During a renewed renovation from 1988 to 1991, attempts were made to restore the original condition inside and out. There were once three bronze bells in the bell tower, which had to be delivered during the First World War and were replaced by steel bells in 1919. There is a war memorial by the Protestant church.
  • The Catholic Trinity Church was built in 1959 on the site of an older Catholic chapel from 1861. Its bell tower has three bronze bells from Schilling in Heidelberg.
  • The town's schoolhouse was built in 1909 and an additional floor was added in 1967. Its predecessor buildings were the Protestant schoolhouse, which was later used as the town hall, by the Protestant church, and a Catholic schoolhouse that was demolished to build the fire department garage.
  • Before the construction of the water pipeline in 1927, the population supplied themselves with water from wells. One of these historical wells has been preserved in the upper village. There is also a statue of a donkey, which is considered the village's mascot. The modern goose fountain also reminds of the historical fountains and the agricultural character of the place .
  • At the southeastern end of the upper village, the railway line from Wiesloch to Meckesheim, built in 1900 and 1901, crossed the Gänsbach valley on a three-arched railway viaduct. The building is a listed building, but, as of the end of 2015, is in great need of renovation.

politics

Local council

Schatthausen has had its own local council since it was incorporated in 1972 in accordance with the Baden-Württemberg municipal code . It has a total of ten members and has been made up of the following parties since the local elections on June 7, 2009:

The mayor is Fritz Sandritter (Free Voters).

coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: A black anchor in gold . It goes back to a seal from 1764 and was proposed to the municipality by the General State Archives in 1900. This accepted it, but did not use it in the community seal. In 1955 it was officially awarded again by the Ministry of the Interior and the colors that are borrowed from the Palatinate Lion have now been determined. The anchor was possibly derived from the coat of arms of the von Brüggen family. These had a trident and ruled from 1677 to 1794.

Sports

With the MSC Schatthausen , the village has an internationally important bicycle and motorcycle trial club. It also holds high-level competitions on the site of the quarry in Schatthausen.

Another sports club with a large number of members is FC Fortuna Schatthausen , which serves various sports in several departments.
