history

In 1244 a Schenk von Celle was first mentioned as a witness in a document from the Counts of Freiburg; he probably belonged to their ministry , although the place should have belonged to the county of Sulz . Schenkenzell passed in 1250, presumably as an inheritance from the Counts of Sulz to the Lords of Geroldseck , some administrators were appointed to the castle and some, especially in the 15th century, were inhabited by the owners themselves. Schenkenzell was first mentioned as a place in 1251.

The Schenke Eberhart was mentioned together with his sons Konrad and Burkhart in a document (SC PINCERNE DE SCHEnZELL, round seal with a split shield, above half a growing eagle, below a rafter, see Schenkenberg Schenken , Schenkenberg Castle , Alpirsbach Abbey ).

Luitgard von Wittichen founded the Wittichen (Poor Clare) monastery in 1324.

In 1498 the rule of Schenkenzell was sold by the Lords of Geroldseck to the Counts of Fürstenberg . The Schenkenburg was destroyed by the Counts of Fürstenberg themselves, in 1534 it was only a ruin.

In 1806 Schenkenzell fell to the state of Baden with the Fürstenberg rule of Kinzigtal . The community split up in 1819 into the communities Schenkenzell and Bergzell. The village and the keep belonged to Schenkenzell, and the farms to Bergzell. The church, parish and school associations remained joint property.

The first road was built in 1849. Progress began in 1886 with the completion of the Kinzig Valley Railway . From 1890 on, Schenkenzell was transformed into a climatic health resort , and it was officially recognized in 1973.

In 1937 Bergzell was reunited with Schenkenzell. After the Wolfach district was dissolved, the municipality was assigned to the Rottweil district in 1973. On January 1, 1974, the parish of Kaltbrunn was incorporated into Schenkenzell.

particularities

For some areas, the municipality of Schenkenzell has entered into an agreed administrative partnership with the neighboring town of Schiltach . As a so-called “fulfilling community”, it takes on the tasks of preparatory land-use planning ( land use plan ), the committee of experts and the administration of the joint facilities (neighborhood school, outdoor swimming pool and sports hall).

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Schenkenzell shows a silver bull's head on a blue shield with a gold ring through the nose, which is surrounded by two gold six-pointed stars. The coat of arms has been in use in its current design since 1958.

Town twinning

In 1991, after five years of getting to know each other, the town twinning with the municipality of Schenkon from the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland was officially signed, thus formally sealing the partnership.
