history

The first documentary mention as "Sitzenkirken" occurs in 1120 in connection with the founding of a Benedictine convent that was donated to the monastery of St. Blasien . Spiritual support was provided by the provost von Bürgeln .

Sitzenkirch Abbey and Sitzenkirch village fell victim to a feud between Rudolf I of Habsburg and the Bishop of Basel, Heinrich III. from Neuchâtel-Erguel . A fire destroyed the monastery to the ground, and parts of the place were also affected. The current church in Romanesque style was built in 1290 and was consecrated to St. Hilary .

The Margraves Hachberg-Sausenberg, Rudolf III. and Otto , donated the altar to the Holy Cross to the church in 1366 . Margrave Otto was buried in the church in Sitzenkirch in 1384. He and his relatives, Margrave Heinrich († 1318) and Margrave Hugo († 1448), who were also buried in the church, are remembered by tombstones adorned with coats of arms.

The monastery was in 1492 was as an independent provost incorporated in the monastery of St. Blaise. During the Peasants' War on May 3, 1525, the whole village and the monastery were devastated, only the church was spared. The nuns fled to Basel and never returned.

The mill is mentioned for the first time in 1597. The mill passed into the possession of the Kammüller family in 1611. The mill, as it is still today and can be visited, was built in 1755.

In the battle of Schliengen on October 24, 1796, fierce fighting took place in and around Sitzenkirch between the Austrian troops under General Nauendorf and the French units under General Ferino , with the Austrians ultimately taking the place.

In 1822 Karl Köllner bought a house and a farm on the former monastery site after the originally intended purchase of Bürgeln Castle dragged on for too long. Köllner belonged to the evangelical missionary movement and founded a home for impoverished Jewish children in Sitzenkirch. After rabbis resisted the enticement of Jewish children, Köllner changed his concept and now ran a home for difficult-to-raise, neglected Christian children, like one that was run at Schloss Beuggen by Christian Friedrich Spittler .

After the Second World War, Sitzenkirch became an independent village in what was then the district of Müllheim in 1949 . As a result of a community reform on March 1, 1974, Sitzenkirch became a suburb of the city of Kandern in the district of Lörrach .

In 1972 the Janz team rented a building in Sitzenkirch in which classes from the school for missionary children, renamed in 1973 as the “ Black Forest Academy ”, were taught. By 1997 most of the classes were relocated to Kandern. In 2009 the Black Forest Academy founded a bilingual primary school (German / English) together with the Free Evangelical School in Sitzenkirch.

Viticulture

In 1843/44, two hectares of vines were planted below and above the vineyard. At that time all families in the village still had their own vines. Due to a variety of adverse effects such as frost, pests and poor yields, the cultivation of vines was gradually reduced in the early 1950s. Today only one plot of the Pinot Noir variety is cultivated by a family.
