Sindringen is a suburb of Forchtenberg in Hohenlohekreis in northern Baden-Württemberg . Sindringen is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper German-Raetian Limes .
geography
Sindringen is located on the right bank of the Kocher , into which the Sall flows, about 8 km west (downstream) of the main town of Forchtenberg. Sindringen includes the Holzweiler Hof and Neuzweiflingen (Trautenhof) farms as well as the Schießhof and Ziegelhütte residential areas.
history
Finds show that people lived in this area long before the beginning of the era. Celts , Romans , Alemanni and Franks have left their mark on Sindringen. The Romans drew a border wall past Sindringen, the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, which leads via Öhringen into the Jagst valley. The small fort in Sindringen built in the current location was responsible for monitoring the digester and the Roman border crossing it. The traces of the ancient border fortifications can be seen in a ford built by the Romans on the Kocher and in finds in the woods. The foundations of a Roman watchtower can be seen above the confluence of Salltalstrasse and Kochertalstrasse.
Sindringen was first mentioned in 1037 in the Öhringer foundation letter. In 1322 the Lords of Weinsberg granted the town town charter , and from 1328 on, Sindringen was owned by the Lords of Hohenlohe. After they introduced the Reformation , the city fell to the Catholic line Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein in the 16th century . In 1744 there was a calendar dispute in Sindring . The Protestant citizens were forbidden by Count Hohenlohe-Bartenstein to celebrate Easter according to the Julian calendar on March 29th, instead Easter should be celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar on April 5th. The Protestant pastor Yelin was deposed, and Mayor Edelmann was mistreated and taken into custody. After five years of distress from troops billeted by the Count, the Margrave of Ansbach and his military moved into Sindringen and subjugated the Hohenlohe Count.
During the Second World War, Sindringen was twice the target of an air raid in April 1945, as a result of which around a third of the buildings caught fire, but no fatalities were recorded.
On January 1, 1972, the cities of Forchtenberg and Sindringen merged with the communities of Ernsbach and Muthof to form the new city of Forchtenberg.
Increased construction activity from 1988 to 1995 east of the city wall with the creation of around 120 new apartments increased the number of residents in Sindringen to over 1000 people.
