history

Prehistory and prehistory

Already in prehistoric times, the Ablachtal near Schnerkingen was the most favorable place in terms of settlement topography. Four grave mounds with a diameter of 12 to 21 meters and a height of one to two meters bear witness to this first settlement in the princely Fürstenberg forest district “Dreibühl”. They had not yet been examined in 1887. After the Romans were gradually pushed back by the Alemanni from southwest Germany to what is now Switzerland, Vorarlberg and Alsace from AD 213, old settlements emerged during the Alemannic conquest in the fifth and sixth centuries. The clans name their settlements after the clan chief. The old word for relatives is "Ingen". Schnerkingen emerged as one of those many villages that end in “ -ingen ”.

Middle Ages and Modern Times

The first mention of Schnerkingen comes from the early Middle Ages and is in the year 871. In the High Middle Ages there was a local nobility in Schnerkingen - the Lords of Schnerkingen . The representative of the sex, which is becoming insignificant, was a Conrad von Schnerkingen , "fidelis" of Count Heinrich von Veringen . It is mentioned in a document in the course of an exchange: In 1273 the Wald monastery transferred ownership of a farm in Schnerkingen, which Conrad von Schnerkingen had received from Count Heinrich von Veringen, to the Reichenau monastery and received ownership of the from Reichenau Hof, called Wiler .

The High jurisdiction was 275 years at the since 1319 barons and counts of rooms . These ruled the city of Meßkirch and its six parent villages Rohrdorf , Heudorf , Schnerkingen, Wackershofen as well as Ober- and Unterbichtlingen . Schnerkingen therefore belonged to the Messkirch rule . The rule began with the marriage of Baron Werner von Zimmer the Younger († 1393) to Anna Truchsessin von Rohrdorf († 1350; a branch line of the Lords of Waldburg ), which was confirmed by purchase in 1354, and ended with the death of Count Wilhelm von Zimmer (1549–1594).

In 1575 two now unknown drawing painters and cartographers were commissioned by the Meßkirch Ettergericht to reproduce the Etter boundaries of the city and its six ancestral villages. The remeasurement of Schnerkingen begins on the bridge, as you go over the Ablach, at Hanns Römers house. From there in the middle of the Ablach down through the Mühlreder, with Hanns Kimpels Bachofen behind, and Hauß. Towards Miller's garden corner, towards Mößkirchen worth. From such a corner straight ahead, across the street to the Fußstigle, on the Mößkircher footpath. From there, back to the Zeunen and the garden, across the cart path, into the beer tree, which stands there in the Hague where the paths part. From there, hinder the Zeunen and Gartten down to the Stigle on Waldtmannsweyler footpath. From there straight into the very corner, where the pear tree stands, in Eberlin's gardens. From such a corner and pear tree over the two streets, straight into Eberlin's hewhäuslin. From there straight into the Ablach and the Ablach right down to the Bruckenn again. ” The reason for the views with descriptions of the boundaries of the city and the views of the town was a long smoldering legal dispute between the rooms and the Werdenbergers and their legal successors, the Counts of Hohenzollern. It was about the village and city limits of the Zimmerische Herrschaft Meßkirch. Count Wilhelm von Zimmer's defense speech with the claims of his family has outlasted the times; this is not known from the Hohenzollern family. Negotiations were held about the jurisdiction for the punishment of high court cases Inneretters and Ausseretters. After only six months of dispute, both sides reached a compromise on July 9, 1576. According to this, in the event of a crime within one of the six Dorfetter or in the city of Messkirch, the rule of the Counts of Zimmer is responsible; if the crime occurs outside of the Etter, the Count of Hohenzollern is the court lord.

Later Schnerkingen belonged to the Principality of Fürstenberg , it was subordinate to the Fürstenberg Office of Messkirch . In 1806, the Fürstenberg territory was mediated due to the Rhine Confederation Act in the wake of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and largely added to the Grand Duchy of Baden . From 1809 Schnerkingen belonged to the Baden lake district . The rulership of the princes of Fürstenberg took place through the district office of Meßkirch . The court in Constance was responsible .

20th century until today

As early as 1931, the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Baden issued a decree to the Meßkirch district office, initiating negotiations on the connection of Schnerkingen to Meßkirch. In all places with fewer than 500 inhabitants, it was necessary to examine whether they should join forces with one another or with a larger municipality. In November 1931, the Schnerkinger municipal council refused to merge with the city of Messkirch. In 1934 the district office of Meßkirch again reminded of this decree and argued: Schnerkingen belonged to the parish of Meßkirch, the students went to school in Meßkirch, and there were a number of other joint facilities. Again the Schnerkinger refused. Above all, they complained that Meßkirch levies citizens' tax, water interest, drinks tax, and fire protection tax; none of these measures are known in Schnerkingen.

Even the draft agreement of the district office, in which the Schnerkinger were guaranteed a council seat in Meßkirch, the retention of the previous citizens' enjoyment and the previous tax rates for a period of ten years, they could not change their mind.

They met again on March 1, 1935; Messkirch was ready to make more concessions, but the negotiations dragged on. Then the NSDAP got involved. The then Reichsstatthalter in the Baden Gau, Robert Wagner in Karlsruhe, made short work: On April 1, 1936, the community of Schnerkingen was incorporated into Meßkirch. That the church Schnerkingen, despite tough, five-year resistance, lost its independence and District of Meßkirch was, is part of a decision by Robert Wagner , NSDAP - Gauleiter of Baden founded. The great financial hardship and the resulting financial collapse of underperforming communities were named in the decree as justification for the measure. Due to the common use of the church, kindergarten, school and cemetery, however, there were close relationships with Meßkirch even before the incorporation, which made integration much easier. The last village mayor, Wilhelm Häuptle, had to take his hat off.

Beginning with the dissolution of the District Office in Messkirch in 1936, its communities were incorporated into the Stockach Office . With Messkirch, Schnerkingen came to the newly formed Stockach district in 1939 . With effect from January 1, 1973, the Stockach district was dissolved and Schnerkingen and Meßkirch became part of the Sigmaringen district.

Population development

In 1827 the place had 108 inhabitants, in 1832 and 1834 there were 126 inhabitants in 30 families; Mayor was Anton Hach. In 1845 there were 15 households with 108 Catholic residents. While there were already 249 inhabitants in 1908/09, Schnerkingen had 300 when it was incorporated in 1936.

politics

Coat of arms relief above the town hall entrance

There is no separate local administration and a local mayor, which Schnerkingen would actually be entitled to like the other suburbs, the administration is carried out by the city. Wishes and interests are represented today by city councilors from their own ranks in the Meßkirch municipal council.

coat of arms

Only the Schnerking local coat of arms on the gable side of the former Schnerkingen town hall and as a coat of arms in the stairwell of the Meßkirch town hall reminds of the loss of independence as a community of Schnerkingen. It is a donation from 1986 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of Schnerkingen to Meßkirch. The coat of arms shows a yellow mill wheel on a blue background in the yellow-blue cloud border. The cloud border indicates that it belongs to the Fürstenberg dynasty.

Culture and sights

Schnerkingen lies on the section of the Hohenzollern Way of St. James between Messkirch and Wald .

Buildings

Chapel of Peter and Paul
  • The chapel Peter and Paul is built in the late Gothic style of the 14th century; the majority of the Schnerkinger farms are oriented towards the church. The frescoes in the church date from the 15th century. The chapel had two bells. When the order came in during the Second World War to hand in all bells, a bell that had a crack was given. The other bell - nobody knew about it - was kept and so the Schnerkinger were the first to ring the bells again after the war. After the bell got a crack in 1974, it was brought to Heidelberg for repair. The chapel with its paintings on the walls is one of the few preserved sacred buildings from the Zimmer era and therefore of particular importance in terms of local history.
Former town hall with village square and fountain
  • The former town hall was built in 1909, acquired in 1999 by the Narren-, Kultur- und Sportverein (NKSV) and today serves as the club restaurant "s'Rathaus" of the Schnerkinger village community.
  • Schnerkingen has two fountains: the fountain of the fools, culture and sports club in front of the town hall, with a water playground across the street, and the fountain near the Muffler house.
  • There are also walled-in cannonballs in Schnerkingen as a reminder of wars, an idea that was imitated by the cannonball with the number 1799 in the Bietingen parish church of St. Cyriak . The cannonball comes from the battle of Meßkirch on May 5th, 1800.
  • Across the new Ablach Bridge, not far from the Meßkirch school center, there is a field cross that is not the one described by Martin Heidegger. It is more recent and was donated by Anton Braun and Ferdinand Schad.
  • In the direction of the valley mill are the two Rudolf chapels .

Remarks

  1. ↑ Etter description: The late Gothic chapel with the patrons St. Peter and Paul is surrounded by paths. The village has 25 half-timbered houses, 17 of which are thatched. All gardens are fenced off in an orderly fashion. The largest house in town is at the highest point. The Ortsbach flows past it. The servant's room with an outside staircase indicates the farm of a full farmer. Perhaps it belonged to the "old Eberlin von Schnerkingen" , the rich farmer and grain trader. Opposite the chapel is a large fountain with two rectangular well troughs. The fountain is fed by the Hennenbächle, which splashes down from Messkirch's local mountain, the Hauptbühl, to pour into the Ablach. A large mill, driven by three undershot water wheels, stands on the banks of the Ablach. In order to increase the flow speed of the sluggishly flowing water in the mill area, the bottom of the brook was raised, and a lateral narrowing accelerated the watercourse. In front of the mill, two side arms branch out in an arch into the meadows and back into the Ablach. Cf. Falko Hahn (fah): When half the city ran away . In: Südkurier of January 22, 2009.
