About this picture

Heroldstatt is a municipality in the Alb-Donau district in Baden-Württemberg .

geography

Heroldstatt is located on the Blaubeurer Alb , part of the Swabian Alb , about 25 kilometers west of Ulm .

Neighboring communities

The municipality borders the city of Laichingen to the north and east , the city of Blaubeuren for a short distance to the southeast, the city of Schelklingen (all Alb-Donau district) to the south and the community-free area of Münsingen ( Reutlingen district) to the west .

Community structure

The community consists of the two districts Ennabeuren and Sontheim and the housing estate Breithülen. The two grown village centers of Ennabeuren and Sontheim are connected by a modern community center. A new bypass road runs between the villages. This section of the L 230 is a motorway feeder from the Münsingen area to the A 8 and previously led through Ennabeuren and directly past Sontheim. However, the L 230 will still pass through Breithülen until it will be relocated to the south in the future. Ennabeuren and Sontheim are now being redesigned and redesigned as part of the town center renovation. In Breithülen, after the remunicipalisation, the neglected infrastructure (fresh water and sewage pipes) will be renewed in the course of a redevelopment area.

history

Ennabeuren

coat of arms

An assessment of Ennabeuren based on the place name as the foundation of the early medieval expansion period was confirmed with the discovery of a reliquary dated to the end of the 7th century . A nobleman Egilolf von Oninburrin was mentioned in a document in 1092, and a few years later the village itself, which at that time belonged to the Gundelfingen -Justingen-Steusslingen family association . The division of the place into two parts, which has shaped later history, probably goes back to an inheritance division of this clan in the 11th century, but was not handed down in writing until 1413, when Hans Truchsess von Bichishausen bought one half of the village while the other was owned by the Lords of Grafeneck found. The first part came to Count Georg von Helfenstein from the niece and heiress of the last Truchessen von Bichishausen in 1552, and to the Fürstenberg family in 1627 . The second half was divided again around 1490 when one of the three cousins ​​von Grafeneck, who ruled together, pledged his part - one sixth of the entire village - to his two step-sons, the von Baldeck brothers, who in 1510 gave their property to Württemberg as a fief. After the last male Baldecker had died in 1565 and two of his sisters by 1594, Württemberg moved into the fiefdom. By 1628, the duchy succeeded in acquiring the rest of the former Grafeneck property in several stages, so that now Württemberg and Fürstenberg each exercised half the local rule.

After Württemberg had ordered its (and the Grafeneckian) subjects to convert to the Protestant faith in 1594 , it divided the parish priests in 1603 - amid unsuccessful protest from the Urspring Monastery as the holder of the church rate - and appointed a second Lutheran pastor on site. Since the planned new construction of a Protestant church was not carried out, the existing church building served both denominations since then (until 1936). When the Fürstenberg half of the village fell to Württemberg in 1806, the village had around 300 Protestant and 200 Catholic residents.

In 1895 and 1938 Ennabeuren lost a total of 940 hectares - around half of the municipal area - to the Münsingen military training area. In 1942 this area was formally allocated to the Münsingen manor district.

Sontheim

coat of arms

Sontheim was probably built in the 6th or 7th century as an extension of Laichingen , with which it remained closely connected at all times. In the 11th century, sovereignty lay with the family of the (later) Count Palatine of Tübingen , whose house monastery Blaubeuren became practically the sole landowner in Sontheim through a donation. Like the bailiwick of Blaubeuren, the place fell to the Helfensteiners in 1282, but was then released from this property complex in the first half of the 14th century and transferred (together with Laichingen and Feldstetten) to Württemberg. In the course of the Reformation, the village received its own parish in 1537. Around 1800 it had around 420 inhabitants.

Heraldstatt

In the course of the community reform , the two previously independent communities merged on October 1, 1973 to form the new community of Heroldstatt. It was named after a hamlet left west of Ennabeuren and mentioned as Herolstatt or Herolfstetten from the 12th to 15th centuries .

A new community center with the Berghalle (multi-purpose hall, 1984, expanded in 2000) and the town hall (1987) was built roughly in the middle between the village centers, which are around two kilometers apart.

As part of the new Wendlingen – Ulm line under construction , the establishment of the Merklingen (Swabian Alb) station is being considered, and Heroldstatt will contribute financially to its costs.

Observation tower

  • The 30 m high Heroldstatt Tower is about 2 km northwest of the Ennabeuren district on the edge of the former Münsingen military training area and was built in 1981. The tower of the Swabian Alb Association is freely accessible.

Wind power test field

A test field for wind turbines is located northeast of the village . In addition to an Enercon E-17 built in 1989 with a hub height of 28 m, a rotor diameter of 17 m and an output of 80 kW, this also includes a 25 m high Darrieus rotor with a diameter of 15 m, built in 1990, with an output of 55 kW and used by the population is nicknamed "whisk". The E-17 was dismantled at the beginning of 2013 after suffering damage in 2012, as a repair was not economically viable. It was not possible to replace it with a modern system, as the site is too close to the buildings for today's large-scale systems. The trial operation of the Darrieus rotor was stopped after 10 years. World icon
