history
Seedorf was first mentioned in 786 in a document from Count Gerolds, in which Dunningen was also named for the first time. The area around Seedorf was settled earlier. The oldest traces of settlement go back to the remains of Roman manors and those of the Roman road between the Waldmössingen fort and Arae Flaviae (Rottweil). A village was probably founded in the seventh century, a long time after the Alemanni had taken over the country, as the ending of the name "village" indicates. It is assumed that the place used to be further east, in the Altdorf corridor, as stone slab graves and a gold coin were found there. The village owes its name to two now drained karst lakes .
As already mentioned, Seedorf was mentioned for the first time in 786 and only eleven years later, in 797, the heiress of Count Gerolds, the nun Ata, confirmed the gift of Seedorf to St. Gallen. The later Emperor Heinrich II founded the diocese of Bamberg in his day and, in order to preserve it, donated the town of Seedorf in 1007. It is also proven that Seedorf owned a noble local nobility at that time, the Lords of Seedorf built a stately moated castle that was later removed.
In the period that followed, the Bamberg property rights gradually passed to the regional nobility and the Rottweiler patricians before the Zimmer family came into being in the 14th century. The story of the hearing-impaired Vogt von Seedorf has been handed down from Zimmer's chronicle. Under the rule of the Lords of Zimmer, the moated castle functioned as the second home of the gentlemen, as a widow's residence and temporarily also as the seat of government for the so-called “Herrschaft vor Wald”. Seedorf had its own local chaplain since 1432 and, as a result of the foundation, a chaplain for the castle chapel.
In the Peasants' War of 1524/25, the Seedorfer emerged as rebels. 70 years later, in 1595, the place was sold to the imperial city of Rottweil because the Zimmer male line had died out. Another 100 years later, the Agatha Chapel, which is still preserved today, was built. In the 17th and 18th centuries Seedorf had to overcome a number of crises from which the village suffered badly. These include the Thirty Years' War as well as the Succession, Predatory and Revolutionary Wars. As a result of the Napoleonic upheavals, Seedorf and Rottweil fell to Württemberg in 1803, and today's parish church was built in 1844.
So far, the place was characterized by agriculture, but in the 19th century the rural Seedorf felt a major transformation. The trigger for this was the abolition of serfdom, which was followed by the dissolution of the " tithe ". Weaving and straw weaving mills brought additional jobs to the town, and finally the population found work in the up-and-coming factories in Oberndorf, Schramberg and Rottweil. At the beginning of the 20th century, Seedorf could be supplied with running water and electricity and since 1945 the quality of life has changed due to the spread of cars and paved roads. From then on the townscape changed completely, a new building area was built in the southeast. On the occasion of the administrative reform in Baden-Württemberg, Seedorf became part of the municipality of Dunningen on January 1, 1974. At the end of the 20th century, two industrial parks were created between Seedorf and Waldmössingen and between Seedorf and Dunningen, which brought additional jobs to the region. Today around 2,000 people live in the Seedorf district of Dunningen and agriculture is increasingly withdrawing from the village.
religion
In Seedorf there is the Catholic parish of St. George , which has 1,600 members. The church , which forms the spatial center of community life, was built in 1844, the tower roof structure in 1893. In 1960 and 1961, the church was rebuilt and it received a choir extension; it was last renovated in 1983. Today it offers seating for 500 - 600 guests on benches. There are five bells hanging in the 46-meter-high tower, four of which were purchased in 1949 because they had to be delivered during the Second World War . A special feature is the church organ , which is installed on a porch, which creates better room acoustics. Part of the organ dates from 1920, and was then rebuilt from 1963 to 1965. The new three-manual organ, which has 34 registers and 2200 pipes, replaced a two-manual organ. Another specialty is the arrangement of the church itself. The altar faces west and not east as usual.
There are rooms available in the rectory built in 1851 for the many groups, clubs and institutions.
The parish has a parish office together with the parishes of St. Martin Dunningen and St. Johann Baptist Lackendorf, with which pastoral and pastoral measures are also carried out. The three parishes have formed a pastoral care unit together with the parishes of Bösingen, Herrenzimmern and Villingendorf since 2001 .
The Protestant parish of Schramberg-Sulgen is responsible for the Protestants living in Seedorf .
