City structure

Sindelfingen consists of the core city and the districts of Maichingen and Darmsheim, which were incorporated as part of the 1971 regional reform . Both incorporated former municipalities are localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code , that is, they each have a local council , which is re-elected by the local population at each local election . The chairman of the local council is the mayor .

For several years now, the new Flugfeld district has been under construction on the area of ​​the former Böblingen airfield , a joint project between the cities of Sindelfingen and Böblingen. Two thirds of the district will be on the Böblingen district, the remaining third on the Sindelfingen district. In Areal Forum 1, for example, the state agency INUTEC-BW (Innovation and Technology Center for Environmental Technology and Resource Efficiency GmbH) was opened in 2011. The entire construction period is planned until 2031 .

In the core city, a distinction is made between residential areas with their own names, the names of which have emerged in the course of history due to the development and which, however, are usually not exactly definable. These include, for example, Königsknoll, Viehweide, Eschenried, Pfarrwiesen, Rotbühl, Spitzholz, Eichholz, Hinterweil and Goldberg.

Spatial planning

Together with the neighboring town of Böblingen, Sindelfingen forms a medium-sized center within the Stuttgart region , the regional center of which is Stuttgart. In addition to the two cities, the central area Böblingen / Sindelfingen also includes the municipalities in the central part of the district of Böblingen, namely Aidlingen , Altdorf , Ehningen , Gärtringen , Grafenau , Hildrizhausen , Holzgerlingen , Magstadt , Schönaich , Steinenbronn , Waldenbuch and Weil im Schönbuch .

history

Prehistory and Antiquity

In the 4th millennium BC There was a Neolithic settlement in the Gewann Hinterweil. Also in the Urnfield , Hallstatt and Latène times there were isolated settlements in the city area, as shown by broken fragments, burial mounds and urn graves. In the 1st to 3rd centuries there was a Roman vicus (street village) on the northern slope of the Goldberg , next to which there were smaller manors spread across the area. Soon after the fall of the Limes in AD 260, the Alamanni settled here and founded the three villages of Sindelfingen, Altingen and Bochtelfingen on what is now the Sindelfingen core area.

middle Ages

A predecessor of today's Martinskirche with cemetery has stood in the area of ​​an older manor house of the ancestors of the later Counts of Calw . In the Franconian period from the 8th to the 11th century, Sindelfingen was the center of a Franconian county that was subordinate to the later Counts of Calw, one of the most important noble families in today's Baden-Württemberg. According to the Sindelfingen annals written in the 13th century , Count Adalbert (II.) Atzinbart founded a Benedictine double monastery for monks and nuns in his Sindelfingen ancestral seat around 1050, which he soon moved to Hirsau to the Aurelius Monastery, which he had rebuilt, from which the world-famous reform monastery Hirsau emerged. Instead, he founded a canon monastery in Sindelfingen around 1065 , which was first mentioned in 1155 as "praepositura in Sindelvinga". For its construction, he demolished his ancestral seat with the older Martinskirche and moved his seat to Calw. There he built a new manor's castle and opened up a closed power territory through clearing work. The construction of the new Martinskirche in Sindelfingen proceeded only slowly; The crypt was consecrated in 1100 , but the actual church was not completed until 1132 by the Guelphs , who set up a mint in Sindelfingen . The Sindelfingen Canons' Monastery became rich and important over the next few centuries through further foundations, but in 1351 it came under the rule of the counts and later dukes of Württemberg . In 1476 they founded a new monastery in Tübingen, whose property formed the financial basis for the famous Eberhard Karls University . This new pen received most of the old Sindelfingen ownership. The Canons of Sindelfingen were the first professors and the provost Johannes Tegen their first chancellor. The following Augustinian Canons' Monastery was founded in Sindelfingen from what was left of the property and was finally dissolved by the Dukes of Württemberg in 1535 as part of the Reformation.

Sindelfingen 1681, forest inventory book by Andreas Kieser

Around 1130 the village of Sindelfingen came into the possession of the Guelphs with his neighboring village Böblingen through Uta von Schauenburg , the heiress of Count Gottfried von Calw and wife of Duke Welfs . In the ensuing dispute over inheritance, the village of Sindelfingen was burned down in 1133 by Uta's cousin Adalbert IV von Calw . In the second half of the 12th century there was a Guelph mint in Sindelfingen; a pot with numerous silver bracteates from this workshop was discovered buried in the floor of St. Martin's Church in 1973. The transfer of ownership to the Count Palatine of Tübingen has not been fully clarified; it is likely to have taken place via the purchase of the possessions of Welf V by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and a subsequent enfeoff to the Tübingen Count Palatine. As part of inheritance divisions, the villages of the Sindelfingen district came into the possession of Count Rudolf the Scherer of Tübingen-Herrenberg , the village of Böblingen to his cousin, who founded a town there around 1250. As a reaction, the city of Sindelfingen was founded in 1263 between the monastery district and the village of Sindelfingen by Count Rudolf the Scherer; the villages of Sindelfingen, Altingen and Bochtelfingen later merged into the new city. In 1274 King Rudolph wrote that Sindelfingen should enjoy the same freedom as Tübingen. Even before the city wall was completed, the Böblinger attacked the city of Sindelfingen. Since then, there has been a pronounced rivalry between the two neighboring cities.

Württemberg time

In 1351 the city was sold to Württemberg . The new masters introduced the Reformation in 1535 . For a long time, Sindelfingen remained an insignificant country town that could never come to terms with belonging to the Böblingen district within the Duchy of Württemberg and subordinate to the neighboring town. In 1607 the citizens of Sindelfingen finally managed, through an extraordinary tax payment to the duke, to be detached from this upper office and to become an official city independent of Böblingen without its own offices. This privilege was then taken from them again in the 18th century.

From 1562 to 1684, 34 women were suspected of being witchcraft in the witch hunts in Sindelfingen . 19 of the women accused were executed in witch trials , including Barbara Breuninger , who was sentenced in 1609 at the age of 85, and Judith Stick in 1615. The witch trials were held in the town hall in front of the city court.

When the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg was implemented , Sindelfingen remained assigned to the Böblingen Oberamt .

Mechanical weaving mills were introduced in the 19th century, and Sindelfingen became an important weaving town. The weavers' college in Sindelfingen dates from this time. In 1850 Sindelfingen had 4,304 Protestant and 6 Catholic residents who lived and worked in 461 main and 203 auxiliary buildings. As part of the construction of the railway from Stuttgart to Böblingen, the citizens of Sindelfingen paid for the fact that the railway line should run via Sindelfingen with its own station. After the payments had been received in Stuttgart, the route was moved back towards Böblingen without touching Sindelfingen. All of these events deepened the traditional hostility between the cities of Sindelfingen and Böblingen.

20th century

Significant industrialization took place in the 20th century. Machine factories as well as industries for automobiles, office machines, shoes, clocks and others were established. In 1914 the Daimler plant was relocated to Sindelfingen. The DEHOMAG , an office equipment factory that produced the predecessor of the computer and by 1929 IBM was bought, had in Sindelfingen based.

Wilhelm Friedle , director of operations at Daimler-Benz AG at the Sindelfingen plant until 1935 , brought the assembly line to Germany. Sindelfingen grew into an important industrial city.

During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Sindelfingen became part of the Böblingen district in 1938.

During the Second World War , Daimler-Benz became one of the largest producers of armaments. This was also ensured through the use of forced laborers who were deported to Germany, including around 3,000 women, children and men mainly from the Soviet Union and Poland in Daimler's own warehouse in Sindelfingen alone . At least 46 of them fell victim to forced labor, as evidenced by memorial stones in the old cemetery on Bleichmühlestrasse . Pregnant forced laborers were placed in a “maternity ward” in the Böblinger Allee camp , which, with its conditions, ensured that the newborns died quickly. The women were later forced to have abortions because their children were considered "racially inferior".

In 1945 Sindelfingen came under 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. Due to the industrial armament potential, the city was relatively badly destroyed in World War II , but was rebuilt afterwards. The high population growth in Sindelfingen led to the construction of numerous housing estates. The city, whose population was around 8,500 after the end of the war, exceeded the limit of 20,000 in 1957. As a result, the city administration submitted the application for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg approved with effect from February 1, 1962.

The New Town Hall at Rathausplatz 1

During the territorial reform in 1971, the urban area finally reached its present size. At the time, the state government planned a merger with the neighboring city of Böblingen to form the city of Böblingen-Sindelfingen and had even already decided. But before the new legal provision came into force, the unanimous resistance of the citizens of both cities meant that this plan could not be implemented.

On September 30, 1979, a meeting of around 700 supporters of the ecological movement took place in Sindelfingen, which resulted in the establishment of the Greens in Baden-Württemberg as the first regional association.

In 1990 Sindelfingen hosted the tenth Baden-Württemberg State Horticultural Show .

Sindelfingen is one of the first German cities where people with a migration background make up the majority of the population.

Religions

Martinskirche

Protestants

The population of Sindelfingen originally belonged to the diocese of Constance . Since the city had belonged to Württemberg since the 14th century , Duke Ulrich introduced the Reformation here from 1535 , so Sindelfingen was a predominantly Protestant city for centuries. She has been part of the Böblingen dean's office since then . The main church of the city is the Martinskirche , one of the oldest churches in the country (consecrated 1083). The associated parish of Sindelfingen was initially the only one in the city.

After the Second World War , the population increased sharply as a result of immigration, so the parish was divided. The Christ Church (church from 1958), the Johannesgemeinde (church from 1962) and the Reconciliation Church (Reconciliation Church from 1967 on the Goldberg) emerged. Within the Martinsgemeinde there is also the Markuszentrum, built in 1976; The Nicodemus Church in Hinterweil is organizationally part of the Christ Congregation and is located together with the Catholic St. Francis in the ecumenical community center. All four parishes form the Evangelical General Parish of Sindelfingen.

The Reformation was also introduced in the two districts of Darmsheim and Maichingen as a result of their early affiliation to Württemberg. There, too, there is a Protestant parish that celebrates its services in old churches, in Darmsheim in a former fortified church with a late Gothic west tower and frescoes inside, and in Maichingen in a converted choir tower church with extensions from 1609. The two district parishes also belong like all Sindelfingen parishes to the deanery or parish of Böblingen within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .

Catholics

Church “St. Joseph the Worker ”, built 1958–1960

Catholics in Sindelfingen only existed in large numbers after the Reformation at the end of the 19th century. In 1952, a church of their own was built for them, “The Holy Trinity”, and a parish was established. Further churches were built in 1960 (St. Joseph, parish since 1965), 1969 (Resurrection of Christ, parish since 1974), 1970 (St. Paulus, parish since 1974) and 1972 (St. Mary Queen of Peace, parish since 1974). Due to the particularly strong immigration of “ guest workers ” in the industrial city of Sindelfingen , there were new tasks for pastoral care, because most of them came from Catholic countries: Italy, Spain and Portugal as well as the large group of Croats from what was then Yugoslavia.

The Church of St. Stephan has been in Darmsheim since 1974. It belongs to the neighboring parish of Christkönig Dagersheim, with which it forms a parish. The Church of St. Anna was built in Maichingen in 1955. The parish of Maichingen was established in 1961.

In the newly built district of Hinterweil, there was first a provisional church building since 1980, which was used jointly by Catholics and Protestants. At the same location, an ecumenically oriented community center was inaugurated in 1993, there are two worship rooms for Catholic and Protestant worship. The integrated St. Franziskus Church has been part of the Josefsgemeinde from the start.

The Catholic parishes in the Sindelfingen urban area form pastoral care units 7, 9 and 10, some of which still include neighboring parishes. They all belong to the Böblingen dean's office (previously the dean's office in Weil der Stadt) of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .

Free Churches

In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches and congregations in Sindelfingen , including the Methodist Church (Erlöserkirche), the Evangelical Free Church ( Baptists ), a Christian, Turkish-speaking congregation ( Türkçe Konuşan Kilise Topluluğu ) and the former International Christian Center , now City Life Church . The New Apostolic Church and Jehovah's Witnesses are also represented in Sindelfingen.

Orthodox

Greeks have immigrated since the 1960s, almost all of whom are Orthodox Christians. They founded a "Greek community" as an association, which in 2013 celebrated its 50th anniversary. There has been a Greek Orthodox church in Sindelfingen since the early 1980s .

Muslims

Ulu Mosque in Sindelfingen

About 10% of Sindelfingen's residents are Muslim. There are several mosques and some communities organized as associations. The largest mosque in Sindelfingen is the Ulu Mosque.

politics

Municipal council

The municipal council consists of the elected voluntary councilors and the mayor as chairman. The mayor is entitled to vote in the municipal council.
