Stebbach is a village in the Heilbronn district in Baden-Württemberg , which has belonged to Gemmingen since January 1, 1974 .

geography

Stebbach is located in the Kraichgau in northern Baden-Württemberg. The place was once part of the former Gartachgau , a region that was predominantly populated in Franconian times along the Leins , a tributary of the Neckar . The place is about five kilometers east of Eppingen at an altitude of about 200 meters.

history

Half of the place Stebbach with Streichenberg Castle was when it was first mentioned in a document in 1311 as a Palatine fiefdom of the Lords of Gemmingen , who had their ancestral home in neighboring Gemmingen . Later the feudal holders were the lords of Mentzingen , Angelach and Neipperg . The other half of the village was a former accessory of the Steinsberg fiefdom of the Counts of Öttingen for the lords of Gemmingen. The castle Streichenberg was Hans von Gemmingen (1235 mentioned bailiff in Sinsheim ) and one of his sons in the district rooms built where an old had been carried out by Gemmingen expanding settlement.

Since 1520 the sole ownership was with the Electoral Palatinate , which means that the residents of Stebbach had to change faith ten times between 1525 and 1648 as a result of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation . The Palatinate gave the place to the Raugrafen (descendants of Marie Luise zu Pfalz ) in 1670 , before their successors, the Counts of Degenfeld-Schonburg , settled here in 1733 and built Schomberg Castle near the castle in 1820 . Stebbach came to the Principality of Leiningen in 1803 , which became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806 .

The Jewish community of Stebbach , which was temporarily important, had existed in Stebbach since the 18th century and comprised around 65 people in 1809 and around 75 in 1825, and thus more than 10% of the population. A synagogue existed from around 1800 and was expanded in 1829. As in Gemmingen and other places in the area, the size of the community gradually decreased due to emigration and emigration from the second half of the 19th century. In 1875 there were 42 people, in 1900 there were ten. In 1915 the Jewish community in Stebbach consisted of two women, whereupon the religious community was dissolved by the Baden State Ministry on January 23, 1915. The synagogue was demolished in 1947/48 due to its dilapidation.

On January 1, 1925, the district of Streichenberg, which goes back to the deserted rooms and in modern times only consists of Castle Streichenberg and Schomberg Castle, was incorporated into Stebbach. In 1939 there were 536 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 625. In 1952 a central water supply for Stebbach and Gemmingen was built.

In 1961, Stebbach became a “model village” for redevelopment and land consolidation . The redevelopment of the site meant demolition of most of the typical buildings in the center of the town; in retrospect, the architectural design of the current town center is viewed as unfavorable and not very identifying. Later attempts were made to counteract the unfavorable and insensitive redesign of the site with measures such as the reconstruction and reopening of the historic school building or the redesign of the church forecourt.

On January 1, 1974, Stebbach was incorporated into Gemmingen. On December 31, 2003, 1496 inhabitants were counted.
