geography

Geographical location

The Rems in Schorndorf, left the Röhmareal

Schorndorf lies in a deep valley widening of the Rems , which is bordered in the south by the Schurwald and in the north by the mountains and the Welzheimer forest . In the urban area, the small rivers Schornbach and Wieslauf, coming from the north, flow into the Rems . This flows through the city center from east to west. The old town of Schorndorf is located south of the river.

Neighboring communities

The following towns and communities border the town of Schorndorf; they are called clockwise starting in the west:

Winterbach , Remshalden , Berglen , Rudersberg , Welzheim , Urbach , Plüderhausen (all Rems-Murr district ), Adelberg , Wangen and Uhingen (all district Göppingen ) and Lichtenwald ( district Esslingen ).

City structure

Buhlbronn, Haubersbronn, Schornbach

Schorndorf consists of the core town and the seven districts of Buhlbronn , Haubersbronn , Miedelsbach , Oberberken , Schlichten , Schornbach and Weiler / Rems, which were incorporated as part of the regional reform of the 1970s . Some of the districts still have separate residential areas with a special name, Metzlinsweiler Hof zu Buhlbronn, Metzlinsweiler Mühle zu Haubersbronn, Unterberken zu Oberberken and Mannshaupten zu Schornbach.

In the core city, further residential areas with their own names are sometimes distinguished, the names of which have emerged in the course of history due to the development, but are usually not exactly delimitable. These include, for example, Fuchshof and Grauhalde.

The districts apart from the core city each form a village with a local council in the sense of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code .

Spatial planning

Schorndorf is a medium-sized center within the Stuttgart region , the regional center of which is Stuttgart. The south and east of the Rems-Murr district belong to the central area of ​​Schorndorf, i. H. the Rems- and Wieslauftal as well as adjacent areas. In addition to Schorndorf, these are the towns and communities of Alfdorf, Kaisersbach, Plüderhausen, Remshalden, Rudersberg, Urbach, Welzheim and Winterbach.

history

prehistory

The earliest traces of settlement in the Schorndorf area can be found as early as the Mesolithic and much more frequently for the Neolithic . In contrast, there are hardly any documented finds for settlement activity during the Metal Age ( Copper , Bronze and Iron Ages ).

Roman times

Archaeological finds from Roman times are known to a large extent. Under Emperor Antoninus Pius , from the middle of the 2nd century AD, the Limes was "brought forward" and had reached its extreme position ( Front Limes ).

The border of the Roman Empire shifted from the Neckar-Odenwald line to the east. The result was the new section of the Upper German Limes , which ran as a dead straight line from Fort Lorch to Fort Miltenberg am Main. At the same time was Donaulimes or upstream Alblimes moved to the north and created the new section of the Raetian Limes from the castle Lorch to the fort Eining , where he met shortly before Regensburg back to the Danube limes. By moving the Limes forward, the Remstal was included in the provinces of Upper Germany ( Germania superior ) and Raetia . The border between these two Roman provinces ran east of Lorch Fort.

In the course of the relocation of the Limes, new trunk roads were built or existing pre-Roman road connections expanded, in particular to connect the Cannstatt Fort with the Welzheim and Aalen Fortresses . In the area of ​​today's town of Schorndorf, several connecting roads met these streets in Roman times, the exact course of which is known only approximately.

In Schorndorf there was presumably a crossroad where an extensive street vicus developed. This could be proven on the northern edge of today's Schorndorf city area with the help of numerous archaeological sites. Other individual finds are a Roman villa rustica in Gewann Schornbacher Strasse, a stone flat screen of Maja and Merkur in Grafenhalde and a stone image of Merkur in Ramsbach.

Recently, however, revaluations of finds that have been stored in the city museum since the 1950s ( Viergöttersteine ) have led to the assumption that in the area of ​​today's Schorndorfer Nordstadt there “could have been a large Roman settlement” and not just a street vicus .

Early middle ages

A little to the west of the Roman site around 1955, during construction work on Christallerweg, scattered grave goods and Alemannic graves were found, some of which were deepened in the Roman cultural layer. The chronological classification of the objects covers a period from the middle of the 6th century to the time around 700. Although there are only a few finds, several finds are represented that can be described as individual items in southwest Germany and therefore from are of particular archaeological interest. In many cases, these are items that could indicate an elevated position of the deceased, which requires a socially differentiated, larger population group that has populated the area over several generations. A settlement belonging to the graves must have been in the area, but could not be proven by other finds. This early medieval settlement north of the Rems, which is not localized, was probably abandoned in the first half of the 8th century at the latest. The reason was assumed to be the risk of flooding due to the Rems flooding. From the fact that there are no settlements with the ending -ingen or -heim in the middle Rems Valley, research has so far assumed that the early medieval settlement in this region did not begin until after the Frankish expansion of rule. In previous research, Schorndorf was viewed as a settlement of the so-called older state development, which in this region is dated between the 7th and 9th centuries. Such a temporal approach is now corrected by the finds on Christallerweg, which date back to the 6th century.

In the 8th century, on flood-proof terrain south of the Rems, on an alluvial sand cone in the area of ​​today's town church, a new village settlement "uff dem Sand" developed as the origin of the medieval Schorndorf. The patronage of the church, which was consecrated to Saints Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, Nazarius and Celsus, may indicate a date. This suggests that the church was founded in the period after AD 765.

middle Ages

The first written mention of the place name comes from the year 1235. In a document, according to which a Heinrich von Waldhausen and his wife transferred properties in Urbach and Hülben to the Lorch monastery in exchange for two lifelong benefices , a “Dietericus de Shorendorf” is a witness among others “Listed. The same appears as "Dieterico de Sordorf" in another document of the Adelberg monastery from 1236 again as a witness. This time he is referred to as "ministerialis imperii", ie as a (Staufer) Reich servant . The predecessor building of today's castle is assumed to be the official seat (Ministerialenburg).

In the years that followed, Count Ulrich I von Württemberg (Ulrich the founder) used the grueling disputes between Frederick II and the Pope and the Upper Italian City Association , which caused the Staufen family to weaken and strengthen and expand his own household power. The place Schorndorf was probably acquired or annexed by Ulrich around 1250, although the exact circumstances are not known. The first urban settlement emerged under Count Ulrich following the Ministerialenburg. The first documented mention as a town in Württemberg comes from the year 1262, when Ulrich allowed the Adelberg Monastery to pass duty-free through his town of Schorndorf ("municipium nostrum Schorndorf") and its entire area. The city was expanded and fortified in order to secure the Württemberg rule against the remaining Staufer possessions in the east. The first mention of the court in Schorndorf ("judices iurati") and the earliest mention of city walls ("muros opidi") date from 1299, although the walls initially only included the part of today's old town between the market square and the castle. The western village "uff dem Sand" remained outside the walls as a suburb. Only in the course of the 14th century was the suburb with church and churchyard included in the walling. Between this so-called lower town and the eastern, so-called upper town, the still existing moat was filled in and the market square was created in the course of the 14th and 15th centuries.

The county of Württemberg pursued an aggressive expansion policy for several generations and repeatedly came into conflict with the empire and the imperial cities that opposed this expansion. The Schorndorf Fortress represented the entrance gate to Württemberg from the east and was therefore the scene of meetings and disputes several times.

During the Imperial War (1311-1312), which Emperor Heinrich VII led together with several imperial cities against Count Eberhard the Illustrious from Württemberg , he lost almost all of his land. Schorndorf was also besieged, conquered and handed over to the imperial city of Esslingen , which was a main enemy of Count Eberhard during the war. Only the death of the emperor and the political situation after the king's election in 1314 with Ludwig IV as king and Frederick the fair as the opposing king prevented the total defeat of Württemberg. Eberhard I then cleverly tacted between king and counter-king, so that he could not only compensate for the territorial losses, but also gain additional areas, and Schorndorf also came back to Württemberg.

In 1316 King Ludwig camped in front of the Schorndorf walls, without attacking the city, on his way to Esslingen, where he met his cousin and rival Friedrich the Beautiful in a battle.

Eberhard's son and successor, Count Ulrich III. von Württemberg, managed to get along with both kings without open conflicts through diplomatic skills. After the death of Friedrich he received the Reich Office of the Lower Swabian Governor from Ludwig. The resulting political weight at the imperial level, his regional alliance policy and the marriage property and legacy of his wife enabled the prudent Ulrich to significantly enlarge the Württemberg territory during his reign without fighting. In 1336 he was given the prestigious office of pioneer and imperial ensign from Ludwig, who has now been crowned emperor, and also known as Ludwig the Bavarian . During this time, the Schorndorf Fortress was spared fighting.

In August 1347 Ludwig IV stayed in Schorndorf again, this time with peaceful intent. A few months later, in December 1347, his successor, King Charles IV, was received in the city. Both issued a number of documents in Schorndorf, which underlines the importance of the city.

Under the reign of Ulrich III's sons, Count Eberhard II (Greiner) and his initially co-ruling brother Ulrich IV , the disputes between Württemberg and the imperial cities and the empire flared up again. The two count brothers abused the power they possessed through the office of governor conferred on them by the emperor, and suppressed the imperial cities in their district. Because of these attacks and because of their refusal to support his peace policy, Charles IV felt compelled, with the support of the imperial cities, to raise an imperial army against Württemberg. The emperor marched into the Rems valley via Aalen and a warlike conflict broke out near Schorndorf (Battle of Schorndorf in 1360). After an initially undecided course, the fresh supply forces that Karl had at his disposal were decisive. The two count brothers withdrew to the Schorndorf fortress, which was besieged by the emperor. A few days after Karl had the surrounding area devastated, the Württemberg counts finally gave up and submitted to the emperor. At the mediation of the bishops of Speyer, Augsburg and Constance a peace agreement was reached, whereby Karl contented himself with very moderate peace conditions.

Eberhard den Greiner was followed by his grandson Count Eberhard III at the head of the House of Württemberg . (the mildness) . His reign was characterized by a peace-keeping policy of alliances with the neighboring royal houses and imperial cities. This also gave Schorndorf a quieter time without major fighting. After the death of Eberhard III. (* 1362; † 1417) Schorndorf served his widow Elisabeth, b. Countess of Nuremberg, as a widow's seat, where she passed away in 1430, heavily in debt.

In 1431 the city hosted the king and later emperor Sigismund and the papal legate, Cardinal Julian.

The division of Württemberg through the Nürtingen Treaty 1442 (map) .png

Under the count brothers Ludwig I and Ulrich V , the country was divided in 1441, which was recorded on April 23, 1441. Ulrich received the eastern and northern part of the country with the residential city of Stuttgart, Ludwig the western and southern part of the country with the residential city of Urach. Schorndorf thus belonged to Württemberg-Stuttgart in the future. The division, which was originally limited to four years, was established as an unlimited division on January 25, 1442 by the Nürtingen Treaty .

On July 6, 1446, Ludwig I and Ulrich V joined Archbishop Dietrich von Mainz , Count Palatine Ludwig IV , Duke Albrecht VI. Austria and other princes in Schorndorf formed an alliance for two years to prevent the robberies in their lands.

When Count Ulrich V of Württemberg married Margarethe von Savoyen , widow of Count Palatine Ludwig IV., On July 9, 1449 , he committed her to the income of the city and the office of Schorndorf "and let her pay homage to her there" for her rich contribution. The fact that Margarethe actually ruled the town and office of Schorndorf as the actual mistress was shown by the fact that in 1454 she assigned the village of Weiler near Schorndorf to a certain Konrad von Lomersheim for his lifetime.

With the Münsinger Treaty of 1482 and the Esslingen Treaty of 1492, Count Eberhard im Bart (Württemberg-Urach) and Eberhard VI. (Württemberg-Stuttgart) cancel the division of the country again. The indivisibility of the state and the primogeniture (birthright) in Württemberg were made legally binding, creating an important prerequisite for the later elevation of Württemberg to a duchy . From 1495 Schorndorf became part of the newly created Duchy of Württemberg .

In 1634 the city burned down almost completely after the occupation by imperial troops under Walter Butler . In 1688, the women of Schorndorf, led by Anna Barbara Walch (later Künkelin), prevented the fortress from being handed over to French troops under General Mélac .

18th and 19th centuries

Gottlieb Daimler's birthplace in Höllgasse

In 1759, the office of Schorndorf was elevated to a higher office. In 1806, when the Kingdom of Württemberg was established, the Oberamt Schorndorf was reduced in size as part of a reorganization by transferring some communities to the neighboring offices. Gottlieb Daimler , the inventor of the first high-speed light gasoline engine, was born on March 17, 1834 in Höllgasse. The Remstalbahn was opened in 1861, making Schorndorf a station in the Württemberg railway network .

20th century

Schorndorf around 1900

With the reorganization of the district in Württemberg during the Nazi era , the Oberamt Schorndorf was dissolved in 1938 . The entire Schorndorf area came to the Waiblingen district .

During the Nazi era , political opponents were persecuted locally. They included the social democratic city ​​councilor Gottlob Kamm , who was interned in the Oberer Kuhberg concentration camp , and the SPD local chairman and union official Heinrich Talmon Groß , who lost his life in the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1945 . The city honors her memory with street names.

Since autumn 1943, the castle castle has housed a department of the Stapo control center in Stuttgart responsible for the political and police defense and the control of V-persons . The Gestapo library was also brought there to safety.

In the last months of the Second World War , the Schorndorfer section of the Remsbahn was repeatedly the target of Allied bombardments , which aimed to make this important railway line unusable. At Schorndorf there was also an American low- flying attack on a passenger train heading for Stuttgart during this time , killing both the locomotive driver and the stoker .

Shortly before the end of the war in 1945, American troops stood at the gates of Schorndorf, while the local armed forces associations were determined to defend the city. Ultimately, however, Walter Arnold , who later became an honorary citizen, succeeded in handing the city over to the Americans without a fight, which spared Schorndorf's historic building from fighting and has been preserved to this day.

In 1945 Schorndorf became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

The population of Schorndorf exceeded the 20,000 mark in 1963. Thereupon the city administration submitted the application to be elevated to a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg decided with effect from January 1, 1967.

In the years from 1972 to 1975 seven surrounding communities were incorporated and with the district reform in Baden-Württemberg on January 1, 1973, Schorndorf became the new Rems-Murr district.

In 2005, the Baden-Württemberg Home Days took place in Schorndorf .

In 2019 Schorndorf was one of the 16 participating cities and communities in the Remstal, which took part in the "Remstal Green Project". Each participating municipality contributed a sculpture or a building. The sculpture “Prisma” was installed in Schorndorf. In addition, streets and parks were decorated.

Schorndorf initially belonged to the diocese of Constance and was assigned to the archdeaconate ante nemus (Black Forest). As a result of belonging to the Duchy of Württemberg, the Reformation was introduced from 1534, as in the rest of Württemberg . After that Schorndorf was a predominantly Protestant town for many centuries. It soon became the seat of a deanery (see Schorndorf church district ) within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . Originally there was only the town parish of Schorndorf, to which several chapels belonged in addition to the parish church. When the congregation grew strongly due to immigration, the Pauluskirche congregation (church from 1966) and the Reconciliation congregation (church from around 1995) were separated in 1971.

All three parishes continue to form the overall Evangelical parish of Schorndorf. The current districts of Schorndorf used to belong to Württemberg and are therefore predominantly Protestant. The parishioners of Buhlbronn initially belonged to the Buoch parish, then to Oppelsbohm and since 1890 to the Schornbach parish, which became its own parish early on, but since 1971 Buhlbronn has had its own church, the Friedenskirche. Haubersbronn forms its own parish. Miedelsbach first belonged to Lorch, then to Oberurbach, partly also to Haubersbronn, from 1807 to 1989 to the neighboring parish of Steinenberg (parish of Rudersberg ), and has been an independent parish since 1989, which has had its own church, the Christ Church, since 1967. Oberberken initially also belonged to Lorch, later to the parish Hundsholz and in 1859 the place became a separate parish together with Unterberken. For a long time, Schlichten was a branch of the Winterbach parish. In the 19th century it became its own parish administration and in 1859 an independent parish, which also looks after the neighboring town of Baiereck (city of Uhingen ). Weiler / Rems was a branch of Schorndorf for a long time, but became its own parish in 1852. All parishes in the town of Schorndorf belong to the Schorndorf deanery.

In the 19th century, Catholics moved to Schorndorf again. In 1907 the Catholic Church of St. Martin was built in Schorndorf and in 1917 Schorndorf became its own parish. In 1955 the new Holy Spirit Church was built, which was rebuilt in 1970. The old St. Martin Church has served as a chapel since then. The Schorndorf parish also includes the Catholics from Buhlbronn, Ober- / Unterberken, Schornbach and Haubersbronn, but Haubersbronn has had its own church, St. Bonifatius, since 1955. The Catholics from Miedelsbach belong to the parish Heiligste Dreifaltigkeit Rudersberg, those from Weiler / Rems belong to the parish Mariä Himmelfahrt Winterbach , but Weiler has had its own church St. Stephanus since 1966. All of the above-mentioned Catholic parishes belong to the Rems-Murr deanery of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .

In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches in Schorndorf , including the United Methodist Church , the Evangelical Free Church Community ( Baptists ) and the Scala Christian Center of Volksmission Schorndorf e. V. The New Apostolic Church , Christian Science , the Seventh-day Adventists , the Christian Community and Jehovah's Witnesses are also represented in Schorndorf.

In May 2005 a mosque was inaugurated in the Hammerschlag industrial park .

At the top of the town of Schorndorf, “12 consules seu judices” were named in 1290, and since 1264 a “scultetus” was in charge. In the 14th century there was a bailiff , then a subordinate and a bailiff , who was in charge of the entire Schorndorf office. The offices of Waiblingen and Winnenden were subordinate to the Schorndorfer Obervogt until 1755. In the 15th century, a mayor also appeared as a representative of the court. Later there were four mayors and eight judges. Since 1819 the mayor has been called "Stadtschultheiß", since 1930 mayor, and when it was elevated to a major district town on January 1, 1967, the official title was mayor . This is elected directly by the electorate for eight years. He is chairman of the municipal council. His general deputies are the first alderman with the official title “First Mayor” and the second alderman with the official title “Mayor”.

The historic town center of Schorndorf is a listed building as a whole. The historic old town and especially the market square with the market fountain and numerous historic half-timbered houses are among the most beautiful in Germany. There is the town hall , which was built from 1726 to 1730 and is the city's landmark. On its back wall is the mosaic Die Weiber von Schorndorf from 1965 and in front of it the Gottlieb Daimler monument , not far from the Palmsche Apotheke , the Gauppsche Apotheke (parental home and later Carl Grünzweig's first training center ) and the former home of Walch-Künkelin. The Evangelical City Church from 1477 rises to the west of the market square. The former Latin school, which houses the city museum, is located on the church square. In the western part of the city behind the church is the house at Gumpbrunnen and opposite the asymmetrical house on the wall, which was built on the city wall. Honorary citizen Gottlob Kamm was born in this eye-catching house . Today there is a comic museum in the building.

To the east of the market square are the former hospital, the city archive and the castle . It was built by Duke Ulrich in 1538 and was the cornerstone of the state fortress built at great expense. It was as good as the only part of town, next to the church choir, that survived the conflagration of 1634 that left almost the entire town in ruins. On the fortress' filled moat, the listed forestry office was built in the late Art Nouveau style in 1913 . Further east of the palace garden is the Holy Spirit Church, which was built from 1952 to 1955 because of the growing Catholic community. Its tower, which defines the cityscape, was built in the 1960s.

To the east of the Lower Market Square is the Gottlieb Daimler birthplace in Höllgasse with a (small) museum and the former old bath in the alley behind it.

To the east, after the end of Johann-Philipp-Palmstrasse, the main street in the pedestrian zone, the former Villa Arnold , which houses the adult education center , rises in the park on the Stadthallensee . It was built by the manufacturer Arnold, who owned an iron furniture factory in Schorndorf. The Arnoldgalerie with some shops is located on this area along the railway line. It is considered to be a model project for city center expansion.

The striking signal box, which was built in 1962 and was also launched on the market as a kit for model railways in HO scale, is located at the station.

The indoor swimming pool Oskar Frech SeeBad , which went into operation in March 2008, is located in Lortzingstrasse on the Ziegeleisee . It replaced the old Schorndorf indoor swimming pool from 1964.

Known under the nickname "Schorni" is a 90-meter-high, reinforced concrete construction telecommunications tower in the baumasen industrial area in the west of Schorndorfer.

Schorndorf took part in the “16 stations”, the architectural project of the Remstal Garden Show 2019 , with the “Prism” on the Grafenberg, which is intended to offer a special view as a landmark on the vineyard. World icon

There are the following churches in the districts:

The evangelical church Haubersbronn is a choir side tower from the early 16th century, it was expanded and changed several times. The Protestant parish church Oberberken was built in 1859 instead of a church that was built before 1490. In 1974 it was rebuilt again. The Schlichten Evangelical Church was built in 1717 as a rectangular hall without a tower. The previous church, a chapel mentioned in 1460, burned down in 1707. The Protestant church in Schornbach was built in 1472, but the nave was not built until 1722.

Green spaces

Chapel in the old cemetery

There are various green areas and parks in the city center, for example the palace garden that surrounds the castle. To the east of the center is the Park am Parksee. This park consists of the former garden of the Arnold Villa and the lake, which was created due to a structural error. It was planned to build a town hall on the site, but the building hole filled with water. This is where the colloquial term Stadthallensee comes from, the press also referred to it as “Lago blamabile”, the lake is now officially called Parksee. The grounds and the lake were completely redesigned in 2010. In the park there is a 12.5 m long wooden pirate ship that is used as play equipment for children.

Ornate tomb in the old cemetery

The old cemetery is located south of the palace garden by the Heilig-Geist-Kirche. In addition to important and artistic old graves, it also has an abundance of different tree species and serves many as a place of rest and relaxation. The small, neat chapel is striking. Baden-Württemberg's first prime minister, Reinhold Maier , is buried in the cemetery. Since 1989 a memorial by the artist Reinhard Scherer has been commemorating the persecuted and the victims of fascism in the old cemetery . The occasion was the first visit of a Schorndorf Sinti family in 1988 who had escaped the Nazi extermination.

Opposite the Heilig-Geist-Kirche, on Tuller Platz, which is named after the first twin town, is the Feuersee.

To the south of this follows the Raible complex, a park that used to belong to the villa of the former city council and was made public to the population.
