history

Middle Ages with the nobles von Schelklingen and the Counts von Berg

The original owners of the village and the Schelklingen castle were free lords of Schelklingen, probably related to the lords of Steusslingen, Justingen, etc.

In 1127 three brothers, called von Schelklingen, donated goods to the Urspring Monastery. Through purchase, marriage or inheritance, the Schelklingen rule came to the Counts of Berg around 1200 , from whom the later Counts of Berg-Schelklingen emerged . Margrave Heinrich I von Burgau and his wife Adelheid, probably the daughter of the last noble von Schelklingen, fathered Ulrich as the firstborn, who had to share the inheritance with his brother after his father's death in 1242. Ulrich received the rule of the House of Berg in the west of the Iller and the small rule of Holzheim near Neu-Ulm, between Iller and Roth and called himself Count von Berg (-Schelklingen) in future. His brother was Heinrich II. Von Burgau and ruled as margrave over the area east of the Roth and with Burgau, so that he added a lily to the coat of arms and seal of the counts of Berg because of the demarcated margraviate of Burgau.

Schelklingen was first named city ( civitas , city ​​law ) in 1234 . The last Count of Berg-Schelklingen sold the rule to the House of Austria in 1343 and received it back as a fief. When the last count of Berg-Schelklingen died in 1346, the Schelklingen rule fell to Austria.

Schelklingen was later administratively assigned to Upper Austria and remained Austrian until 1806.

The financial difficulties of the Dukes of Austria and the prestige on the part of the nobility associated with owning their own rule led to the frequent pledging and conferring of the Schelklingen rule (together with Berg and Ehingen).

Pawnbrokers

Pledger of the lordships of Ehingen, Schelklingen and Berg Ludwig von Freyberg (* Wuerttemberg Castle 1468, † Öpfingen May 21, 1545) and his wife (married in 1488) Sibylla von Freyberg born. Gossenbrot (* 1479, † 1521)
  • 1438–1458 Hans the Rich von Stadion († 1458 childless)
  • 1459–1503 his nephew Burkhard von Stadion († 1493), son of Ludwig von Stadion († 1449)
  • 1507–1530 Ludwig von Freyberg zu Öpfingen
  • 1530–1568 Konrad von Boyneburg

In 1568 the city of Ehingen was able to buy itself out of a new pledge and at the same time acquire the lien over Schelklingen. From 1568 to 1680 the town and the rule were administered by Austrian governors .

Feudal rule of the Schenk von Castell

In 1680, Imperial Count and Bishop of Eichstätt Marquard Schenk von Castell remembered his services to the emperor. As a thank you, the lords of Berg and Schelklingen were initially pledged and left in 1732 as a man fief from the front of Austria . The feudal rule of the Schenk von Castell lasted until the middle of the 19th century. Franz Ludwig Schenk von Castell played an important role for Schelklingen at the end of the Ancien Régime . As a result of the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, Schelklingen fell to the Electorate of Württemberg , as a thank you for the Württemberg arms aid that Napoleon had provided. The transition of state rule from Front Austria to Württemberg in the course of mediatization also gradually ended the aristocratic rule over Schelklingen. The Counts Schenk von Castell gradually sold their property in Schelklingen.

Württemberg time

Schelklingen came in 1808 with the implementation of the new administrative divisions in the Kingdom of Württemberg to Oberamt Blaubeuren .

In 1879/80 years pastor Wilhelm Hummel in Schelklingen founded a Catholic rescue facility for boys , the St. Konradi House (Konradihaus), in the building of the bankrupt malt factory and the associated Gasthaus zum Hecht by Joseph Baumeister .

In the 19th century Schelklingen developed from a town of craftsmen and farmers to an industrial town. The abolition of the Urspring Monastery in 1806 made the complex free for other uses. In 1832, the state of Württemberg sold the former monastery to the factory owner Georg Reichenbach , with the condition that a cotton factory be set up there. The later Mechanische Weberei Urspring ( MWU ) was relocated to a new building on Ehinger Strasse in Schelklingen in 1906/07. Most of the factory buildings in Urspring were demolished. The MWU went bankrupt in 1953 and was closed.

A second branch of industry that emerged in the 1830s was matchmaking. The basis was the invention of the phosphorus match. Three factories developed, which also employed many women and children at home. Most of these factories closed in the early 20th century.

In 1912, after the Dreikönigsmühle on the Achtopf had been converted into the municipal electricity and waterworks, a new grain mill was built in Urspring, which is now used as a school building. From 1907 to 1930, the Urspring buildings were essentially empty apart from one inn. It was not until 1930 that the former monastery complex found a new use with the establishment of the Urspring School, a Protestant rural education home and grammar school.

In the late 19th century, after Portland cement had been invented, the new branch of the cement industry developed in the Blau, Ach and Schmiechtal valleys. In 1889 the first Barbey'sche, later Hammerstein'sche cement factory was built in Schelklingen, and in 1902 the large complex of the Stuttgart real estate and construction business , which shut down the Hammerstein'sche cement works and set up cement workers' apartments there. The new factory attracted a large number of foreign workers, including many Italian workers, some of whom became resident. The cement plant was later bought up by Portland-Cement-Fabrik AG Heidelberg and Mannheim AG , now HeidelbergCement .

Nazi era

During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Schelklingen came to the district of Ehingen in 1938 .

In 1941, the St. Konradi House was confiscated by government agencies and a resettlement camp ( SS camp) was set up there until 1945 . It was intended to be used for the forcible re-education of internees from Alsace , who were deemed “racially pure”, and to test the “ability to Germanize” other forced deportees.

post war period

After the end of the Second World War, Schelklingen was part of the French occupation zone and was thus assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 , which became part of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Spatial development of the urban area

In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , the following municipalities were incorporated into Schelklingen or merged with Schelklingen:

  • March 1, 1972: Hausen ob Urspring and Justingen
  • April 1, 1972: Ingstetten and Hütten
  • July 1, 1974: Schmiechen (union with Schelklingen to form the new town of Schelklingen)
  • January 1, 1975: Gundershofen and Sondernach

Before the district reform, Schelklingen, Hausen ob Urspring and Schmiechen belonged to the district of Ehingen , the other municipalities to the district of Münsingen . During the district reform of Baden-Württemberg in 1973 , all places in Schelklingen became part of the Alb-Danube district .

Religions

Overview

Schelklingen was predominantly Catholic until 1806 due to the fact that it belonged to the former Schelklingen rule (town of Schelklingen, Hausen ob Urspring and Schmiechen) and the monastery rule from Urspring to Upper Austria . The places of the former imperial rule of Justingen (Justingen, Ingstetten, Gundershofen and Hütten) were reformed from the middle of the 16th century until after the end of the Thirty Years War under the Barons of Freiberg according to the doctrine of Schwenckfeld , but were after the repurchase of the rule by the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg Johann Christoph von Freiberg (1665–1690) recatholicized. But as part of the rule Neusteusslingen was Catholic under the barons of Freiberg zu Neusteusslingen; after the reign of the Duchy of Württemberg fell back in the late 16th century, the Reformation was introduced there.

Today there is a Roman Catholic , Protestant and New Apostolic church in Schelklingen .

There is also a Muslim population. Most Muslims are followers of Sunni Islam . Since the early 1960s, Islamic fellow citizens have settled here through immigration , mainly from Turkey . For some years now, there has also been a small place of prayer for the Muslim population on the outskirts of Schelklingen.

mayor

During the Austrian period, the city administration was in the hands of the ruling mayor and his predecessor, the mayor . They were supported by the internal and external council , each with four members (councilors, deputies). The city offices (such as city calculators, church administrators, hospital administrators, etc.) were divided among the councilors. The term of office seems to have been a year; but re-elections were possible, as the mayors' long terms of office show. After 1806, Württemberg introduced the office of mayor elected for life and later changed to the title Stadtschultheiß . In 1930, the official title of mayor was introduced in Württemberg , which is still used today. The mayor is currently elected for a term of eight years.
