history

prehistory

After the floods in February 1990, small Stone Age artifacts were found in the Nonnenwiese area in the Nagold Valley between Altensteig and Ebhausen (so-called “reading finds”), mainly Paleolithic and preliminary assessments that aroused the attention of experts. The Baden-Württemberg State Monuments Office then carried out excavations in the summers of 1991 and 1995. Numerous small stone artefacts such as scratches or burins were found that belonged exclusively to the Mesolithic Age and thus rather questioned the chronological classification of the findings from 1990. The investigation of the excavation finds of the State Monuments Office showed an approximate time horizon of 10,000 to 8,500 BC. Traces or structures of settlement were not recognizable or could be derived from finds. One therefore assumes a camp site or an outdoor station of nomadic groups mainly from the Mesolithic period, which may have been temporarily visited several times.

middle Ages

Since Altensteig belonged to the Altensteigdorf parish until 1570 , it can be assumed that Altensteigdorf and its parish arose before Altensteig. A clear indication of this is that the church in Altensteigdorf is dedicated to St. Remigius , a Frankish saint to whom many churches were consecrated until the eleventh century. The residents of Altensteig were buried in the Altensteigdorf cemetery until 1717.

The name Altensteig is first mentioned around 1100 in connection with Heinrich von Altensteig. The alleged first mention of the name Altensteig in 1085, sometimes still cited, goes back to the folklorist and local researcher Friedrich Heinz Schmidt in 1950 and was soon invalidated.

It is possible that Heinrich von Altensteig is already, like the Lords of Altensteig later, in connection with a now largely forgotten castle ("Zum Thurm"). This castle stood - in contrast to the later, today visible castle or palace complex - on the spur of the so-called Schloßberg below the industrial area Turmfeld on the right of the Nagold. On the Schlossberg there are still small remains of walls and clearly visible moats. The Bergsporn is from the streets Turmsteige and Schloßbergstr. framed, whose names still point to the historical place. It is possible that Altensteig originated as a small hamlet at the foot of this castle. The lords or bailiffs of Altensteig were feudal people of the Count Palatine of Tübingen.

In July 1287, the "Castrum Altinstage" - the old castle  - was first mentioned in a document. At the same time, a settlement around the castle was certainly meant. Some historians believe that the settlement had city status in 1287. In 1280 Altensteig came under the rule of the County of Hohenberg . In 1398, Margrave Bernhard I of Baden acquired the Altensteig rule , which from 1500 was also part of the Swabian Empire .

Württemberg time

In 1603 Altensteig came to the Duchy of Württemberg and became the seat of the Altensteig office, which was converted into the Altensteig Oberamt in 1808 . After only two years, the Oberamt was dissolved in the course of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg and Altensteig came to the Oberamt Nagold . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Altensteig came to the Calw district in 1938.

Altensteiger parish

Altensteig was the seat of the Altensteig parish for centuries . This extended along the original extent of the parish of Altensteigdorf and included the districts of the localities Altensteig, Simmersfeld , Überberg, Fünfbronn, Beuren, Lengenloch and Ettmannsweiler as well as the areas of the current localities of Gompelscheuer and Enzklösterle up to Hohloh . According to the name, the first-named places belonged to the parish Altensteigdorf for a long time and performed labor for the mother church Altensteigdorf. Above all, this parish formed a community with legal capacity similar to a forest cooperative or market community including administration and the highest representative body, in which all residents with citizenship had extensive and free rights to use the forest, whether for forest pasture or wood use (firewood and construction wood) for their own needs . Furthermore , the streams were available to them both for watering cattle and for fishing . All rights of use extended exclusively to private personal use. There were thus some similarities with the rights and usage rights of the earlier Dornstetter Waldgeding in the vicinity of the northern Black Forest .

1303 the usage rights of the parish were first mentioned, in 1830 it was dissolved. The real, sovereign ownership structure had unusually no restrictive influence on the rights of use of the "parish relatives" (= parish residents with citizenship).

Historic trades

Both the tannery and the rafting were operated in Altensteig for centuries, but have now completely disappeared. The tannery was first mentioned in Altensteig in 1550. In 1995 the last tannery in Altensteig gave up its activity. The soft Nagold-water and the strong cattle farming in the area as well as the trees of oak , spruce and fir trees whose bark for Gerberlohe was used ensured good tannery conditions. In Altensteig mostly tannery predominated .

The rafting on Enz and Nagold was first mentioned in a document in 1342, and it was probably from 1623 that the Nagold was made raftable in the Altensteiger area. With the narrow-gauge railway Nagold – Altensteig , the city of Altensteig was connected to the route network of the Royal Württemberg State Railways in 1891 . The railway line was built primarily for freight traffic, because the timber rafting industry encountered more and more difficulties. Thus, at the end of the 19th century, the wood increasingly being processed in new local sawmills , which achieved higher market prices than the rafted long timber, as well as the simpler and cheaper transport via the new and expanded transport routes such as railways and roads, had the rafting industry towards the end of the 19th century . increasingly displaced. On February 1, 1913, the rafting on Enz and Nagold was finally abolished. The rebuilt Monhardter Wasserstube below Altensteig an der Nagold still bears witness to the Altensteig rafting business.

post war period

After the Second World War, the city of Altensteig fell into the French zone of occupation and thus became part of the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 . In 1952, the provisional post-war state was added to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern and has since been part of the new federal state of Baden-Württemberg. With the district reform on January 1, 1973 , the district of Calw reached its present size. The district also became part of the newly founded Northern Black Forest region , which was assigned to the then newly circumscribed administrative district of Karlsruhe . The former Württemberg city of Altensteig is now also administered from the former Baden capital Karlsruhe.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

The Altensteigerle was a 15.1 km long narrow-gauge railway (gauge 1000 mm) from Nagold to Altensteig, which was opened in 1891 and closed in 1967.

Educational institutions

The Christophorus-Gymnasium Altensteig (CGA) was founded in 1956 by Arnold Dannenmann as a private school, which belonged to the Christian Youth Village Association in Germany and was then called Jugenddorf-Christophorusschule Altensteig. It was attended by boarding school students as well as external students from Altensteig and the surrounding communities. The CGA has been partially nationalized since 1991 and fully nationalized since August 2003. According to the business magazine Capital, the CGA is one of the best 20 schools with upper secondary school in Germany in 2005.

Furthermore Altensteig offers a secondary school (Friedrich-Boysen-Realschule), the primary school Walddorf, the primary and special school Markgrafenschule and the secondary school Hohenbergschule.

Churches

  • Evangelical City Church Altensteig : Altensteig belonged to the parish of Altensteigdorf until 1570, but had dependent chaplains, their chaplains and priests in common at the medieval-Romanesque chapels St. Anna (missing), St. Leonhard (remains) and St. Nikolaus until the Reformation led spiritual life in the Altensteiger Marienbruderschaft . The city of Altensteigfinally became Protestantunder the margraviate of Baden-Durlach in 1556, 500 years after it was first mentioned in a document. The chaplaincy became a diaconate. In 1570 the late Gothic changed Nikolauskapelle was raised to the parish church for the city. With the increase in the population (1570: 200, 1768: 1050), the Nikolauskirche became too small and also dilapidated. Due to a lack of space within the city wall, the new city church was built outside from 1773 to 1775 according to plans by the church council builder Wilhelm Friedrich Goez (execution: the Nagold master builder Georg Christoph Reich) with double galleries for more than 800 people and the old Nikolauskirche until 1869 canceled. Some objects from it were used. The middle position of the pulpit emphasizes the central importance of the proclamation of the word of God, the organ opposite the word proclamation emphasizes the spiritual character of the music. 2 x 12 gallery columns symbolize the addition of the new to the old covenant (12 tribes of Israel). Above everything stands the risen Jesus Christ on the pulpit cover. The then new building in front of the city walls symbolizes the expected heavenly Jerusalem , a motif that Professor Rudolf Yelin the Elder. J., as part of his overall artistic concept for the church renovation in 1961, put on the top of the Old and New Testament pictorial themes on his altar mural.
  • Altensteigdorf : The Protestant Remigius Church in Altensteigdorf is one of the oldest in the area. The late Romanesque tower with the tower choir probably dates from around 1200. There on the north wall there are still worth seeing frescoes : above the announcement, birth and adoration of Jesus, below his flagellation, carrying the cross and undressing before the crucifixion. The church is first mentioned in written records in 1275. In 1757 the spire was replaced and the tower was shortened from 33 meters to 26 meters. In 1903 the nave was extended to the south and provided with larger windows. The asymmetrical widening of the nave required a new roof and the neo-Gothic wider western front. The north gallery from 1714, the baroque font from 1697 and the crucifix under the triumphal arch have been preserved. Further renovations followed in 1966 and 1992. The glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler created the Easter sun in 1966 as a resurrection symbol in the east window of the choir to replace an ornament window from 1903. In this context, the late Gothic frescoes ( evangelist symbols ) on the east wall of the choir were hidden under plaster and thus secured.
  • Berneck : The Protestant Laurentius Church was elevated to a parish church between 1466 and 1471, the Gothic choir was added in 1490, and in 1508 it was first mentioned as St. Mary's Church . The wall paintings in the choir room, the tomb of the politically important Landhofmeister Balthasar von giltlingen († 1563) and his wife Agnes von Gemmingen (Lord von giltlingen was local lord in Berneck and introduced the Reformation there in 1536), a Pietà made of linden wood (around 1420) and the late Gothic baptismal font and the sacrament house are cultural and historical features that characterize this church building. The single-aisled hall church with a coffered ceiling and a roof turret was rebuilt in 1661 after a fire. The choir with an irregular 3/8 end contains frescoes , the sacristy a late Gothic cross vault. The crucifix behind the altar was made around 1700. There are numerous tombstones and epitaphs. In 1753 the church was rebuilt and expanded (roof turrets , cross-church-like additions). - 1965 renovation with exposure of the frescoes and dismantling of the pulpit altar.
  • Hornberg : A Church of Our Lady was first mentioned in 1368 in a document from Reuthin Monastery . It belonged to the Ebhausen parish, from which it was separated in 1489. Later, the Hornberg Evangelical Church came to the Zwerenberg parish, from which it is still looked after today. The colored glass windows were created by Wolf-Dieter Kohler .
  • Lengenloch : Evangelical branch church of Altensteigdorf, which was almost completely renovated in 1751
  • Spielberg : The Protestant Johanneskirche is an old church with Romanesque and Gothic elements. It was separated from the mother church in Haiterbach in 1490 with the consent of the Württemberg feudal lord, Duke Eberhard. In 1491 the vicar general of the responsible diocese of Constance raised the Spielberg chapel to the parish church for the village. The independent parish of Spielberg was thus created. The Romanesque church tower was later given a half-timbered bell house. The choir arch between the square nave and the cross-vaulted tower choir, which was walled up around 1960, was exposed again thirty years later.
  • Überberg : In 2001 an evangelical parish hall was inaugurated here.
  • Forest Village : The Protestant St. John's Church with a tower from 1593 was in 1840 in Kameralamtsstil built. It is a large rectangular hall church with two rows of windows and has 500 seats. When the choir and chancel were rebuilt from 1955 to 1957, a lead glass window (motifs from the history of salvation: Adam - birth of Christ - ruler of the world) was installed. The design comes from Professor Rudolf Yelin the Elder. J. , who also designed the principles as part of his overall artistic concept . The southern stained glass window (Entombment, Lamentation, Resurrection of Jesus) by the artist Käte Schaller-Härlin from 1920 originally had its place in the choir and, together with the Fallen Memorial Book (foundation of the civil community) in the barred niche, formed a reminder and memorial. Unfortunately, the work of art was improperly divided and built into an extra-wide frame profile. The baroque crucifix on the wall towards the choir still comes from the old church. The organ from 1842 by Franz Anton Engelfried from Mühringen has been renovated several times, most recently in 1979 and 2011 by the organ builder Scharfe from Ebersbach an der Fils. It has 17 registers.
  • Wart : The Protestant church Wart still contains Gothic elements and was structurally changed in 1768. As part of the renovation in 1912/13 and the external extension of the gallery staircase under architect Theodor Dolmetsch , the Stuttgart artist Rudolf Yelin the Elder designed the middle choir window with an Art Nouveau medallion (Jesus' encounter with the disciples from Emmaus) and the Stuttgart painter Adolf Reile designed the three frescoes -Medallions above the choir arch (Peter, Jesus blessing, Paul).

Culture and sights

Altensteig is on the western route (from Neckar to Lake Constance ) of the southernmost regional route of the German half-timbered road . Altensteig is also located on the Ostweg , a long-distance hiking trail from Pforzheim to Schaffhausen , which leads past many sights such as Altensteig Castle from the 12th century.

Raft in the Monhardt water room

The New Palace was built in 1604 according to plans by Heinrich Schickhardt . Altensteig is therefore one of 21 member cities of Heinrich-Schickhardt-Kulturstraße . The Bäck-Schwarz tavern was built in 1459 and is one of the oldest houses in the old town, which is well worth seeing.

The Berneck district is particularly popular for the castle (with a 38 meter high shield wall ) and its charming townscape.

The Altensteiger torch fire is a special historical custom. Every year on Christmas Eve, piles of wood several meters high are lit on the Hellesberg and Schlossberg. Locals and guests wave hand torches or self-made giant torches.

The historical "Monhardt Wasserstube" is a reminder of the time of rafting. It is located in the Nagold between Altensteig and Ebhausen. In the years 1985–1987 it was restored true to the original according to plans from 1883. The water room documents how the Nagold was dammed in earlier times in order to transport large quantities of wood as raft wood from the Black Forest to distant areas.

The numerous, mostly no longer in operation sawmills in the vicinity of Altensteig are also connected to the wealth of forests in the Black Forest and the forest ownership of the inhabitants . Above Altensteig or on the general demarcation of the city of Altensteig, there were found in the Nagoldtal and the side valleys that flow into it, such as the Zinsbachtal and Köllbachtal (in which the Berneck district is located) as well as the Schneitbach and Omersbachtal (both no longer within the city limits) many earlier sawmills, some of which no longer exist, while others have been converted and dedicated to inns or houses. But especially the “Kohlsägemühle” in the Zinsbachtal, a few kilometers from Altensteig, is still used as a joint sawmill by around 40 partners from the surrounding villages. After a restoration of the old, overshot and metal waterwheel system - the modern saw frame is of course operated electrically - and the renewal of the mill wheel, there are always visits. The current mill or saw gate building was otherwise rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, although the "Kohlmühle" was first mentioned in 1614. There is a small restaurant next to the mill building.

With the Christophorus-Kantorei , one of the best youth choirs in Germany (3rd prize at the German Choir Competition 2006 in Kiel , 1st prize 2010 in Dortmund ) is based in Altensteig, which has made the name of the city known through lively concert activities in Germany and the world. The Christophorus Kantorei was founded in 1962 by church music director Jürg Wieber, and Michael Nonnenmann has been in charge since 1993.
