Jungnau is part of the Baden-Württemberg town of Sigmaringen in the district of Sigmaringen ( Germany ). Until the district reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1973 , Jungnau was an independent municipality; on February 1, 1974 the place was incorporated into the district town of Sigmaringen.
Geography and traffic
Jungnau, about seven kilometers north of Sigmaringen in the lower Laucherttal and the Obere Donau Nature Park , covers an area of about 2235 hectares. About 1/3 is owned by the municipality (mostly forest).
The village lies at 610 m above sea level , with the highest elevations in the district reaching just under 800 m in height.
Jungnau has a stop for the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn . The federal highway 32 (in this section identical to the federal highway 313 ) forms the through road.
history
The region was settled early on, as is shown by finds in nearby Veringenstadt . The oldest settlement in the Jungnau district is Hoppental (around 800 BC). A skeleton with two bronze arm rings was found in a cemetery from the Bronze Age .
Around 400 BC Chr. Were Celts settled in the area. The name “ Lauchert ” is said to come from them (Lochert-Luchat, later Luachert).
The Celts were followed by the Romans , who defeated the Celtic tribes and advanced north across the Danube . Around AD 80, the land was in their power. The Romans opened up the area and laid u. a. some Roman roads . On their routes are z. B. the old road from Sigmaringen to Jungnau and the Hochstrasse . In 1841 objects from this period were found ( iron implements , a ploughshare and hoe, chisels and arrows); In 1881 a Roman bronze coin was found near Nollhof.
Around 260 AD the Alemanni invaded what was then Roman territory and moved to the Swabian Alb and the Neckar . They founded localities whose names end in "-ingen". Ämpfingen and Indefingen, Outbound hamlet in the district Jungnau are due - both today as place names survived. The name of the first-mentioned settlement was derived from its founder (Ampho) and means "among the members of the Ampho clan ". The foundations will be in the 4th – 5th Dated 17th century AD.
Isikofen Castle was built around 1100 in the district around 2.5 kilometers south of Jungnau . In 1385 it was only mentioned as a castle stable . Remnants of the surrounding wall as rubble and the remains of a building can still be seen today. In the 13th century there was a castle in Schiltau (Schiltowe, Schiltow), which the Lords of Schiltau owned as a fief of the Gammertingen rulership . The Lord of Schiltau was named as a witness in 1200 (with him his castle with a settlement). Jungnau (as the name of a castle: Jungsowe (means something like "place in the meadow valley of the lords of Jungingen "), Jungnow) is first mentioned in 1333 when the Guta von Affelstetten donated goods to the St. Nikolausalmosen in Überlingen . The place came into being shortly before that, when Burkhard von Jungingen acquired Schiltau Castle and its settlement in 1316 and built a new castle ( Jungnau Castle ) in the immediate vicinity . From Schiltau Castle, only the remains of the wall overbuilt by houses and gardens are preserved. The keep of Jungnau Castle is still a landmark in the old village center. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the hamlets and villages mentioned below were dissolved in Jungnau.
timeline
Schiltau Castle was built before 1200 and a settlement was built at the same time. The nobles of Schiltau were a ministerial family that was in the service of the Counts of Veringen .
The Lords of Jungingen (Knight Burkhard von Jungingen) bought Schiltau Castle from Berthold der Schiltower in 1316. Jungnau Castle was subsequently built. In 1333 Jungnau was first mentioned as "Jungsowe". Both castles were handed over to the noble Hohenfels-Jungingen family in 1355. In 1367 the Lords of Reischach acquired the Jungnau rule (Jungnau with castle and forecourt, Schiltau castle with forecourt and other places). In 1385 Jungnau became a Hohenberg fiefdom, but remained in the possession of the Lords of Reischach.
In 1418 the Counts of Werdenberg acquired the rule (including Jungnau and the festivals). In 1423 Schiltau Castle was first mentioned as the Burgstall, but in 1444 it was again referred to as "Veste". This is considered the last mention as a castle seat.
In 1534, after the dynasty of that time died out , the Jungnau rule was passed on to the Counts of Fürstenberg as Allod . The Obervogteiamt Jungnau was established under the Fürstenbergers . In 1742 the Church of St. Anna was completed.
In 1806, as part of the reorganization of Central Europe by Napoleon ( Rhine Federation Act ), the Obervogteiamt Jungnau went to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , although the Fürstenbergers retained the lower jurisdiction and the police force. Therefore a patrimonial office was set up. In addition to Jungnau, this also included the places listed under 1603. The lower jurisdiction was handed over to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen in 1840 by the Fürstenbergers; on October 31, 1840, the patrimonial office was dissolved. The places were distributed to the Hohenzollern Oberämter Gammertingen , Sigmaringen and Straßberg .
Jungnau Castle was demolished in 1844. In 1885 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1925 Jungnau became part of the resulting Sigmaringen district by merging the Prussian authorities in Sigmaringen and Gammertingen .
On February 27, 1945, 32 people died in a low-level aircraft attack on a Hohenzollerische Landesbahn passenger train . In 1949 the current municipal coat of arms was awarded. On February 1, 1974, the community of Jungnau was incorporated into the town of Sigmaringen as part of the community reform.
During the floods at the end of May / beginning of June 2013 , after days of heavy rain, the Lauchert also overflowed its banks. Parts of Jungnau were under water.
