history

The name Stocksberg is derived from the stocking of the forest (i.e. the removal of tree stumps ) when clearing. Count Ulrich V von Württemberg bought part of the hamlet in 1444/46 from the lords of Liebenstein and Talheim , the other from Konrad von Heinriet . He was thus part of Württemberg , was assigned to the city and office of Beilstein and formed a sub-municipality of Beilstein until April 1, 1931. The hilltop with the Stocksberg hunting lodge , on the other hand, remained in the possession of the Counts of Löwenstein and is still part of the town of Löwenstein today.

During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Stocksberg and Beilstein were assigned to the Oberamt Marbach in 1810 .

In terms of church, Stocksberg was a Protestant branch of Beilstein until 1852 and was then assigned to Neulautern to the east. In the course of the dissolution of the pastor's office in Neulautern, the Protestant Stocksbergers decided to rejoin Beilstein (church) on December 1, 2013. Originally, the hamlet consisted of four farms, which were later divided up more and more. In the 17th and 18th centuries, statistics and the Oberamt description of the neighboring Oberamt Weinsberg from 1866 showed great poverty, which only improved in the later 19th and then in the 20th century.

On January 6, 1919, citizens of neighboring Prevorst made a petition to the Württemberg Ministry of the Interior in which they applied to unite Prevorst and Stocksberg. However, the Beilstein municipal council decided not to go into this, and Stocksberg stayed with Beilstein. In 1924 the city of Löwenstein asked if Beilstein would agree to the incorporation of Stocksberg into Löwenstein. When Stocksberg demanded that the Löwenstein – Stocksberg road be chased in return, the Löwenstein local council withdrew its request on September 2, 1926. On April 1, 1931, the Beilsteiner sub-communities were abolished, Stocksberg became a Beilsteiner sub-town.

The Resurrection Chapel at the cemetery

In 1936, Prevorst , which was then part of Gronau, applied for independence and suggested that Prevorst, Stocksberg and the neighboring hamlets of Kurzach and Nassach be merged into one community. Beilstein was ready to do so, but for his part made demands for compensation through the allocation of Schmidhausen and Helfenberg (today part of Ilsfeld ) to Beilstein, which the state authorities did not want to go into, so the old situation remained. The last time the assignment to Beilstein was questioned in 1945 when the then acting district administrator of Heilbronn, Emil Beutinger, ordered in a decree ("Incorporation decree") of May 25, 1945 that Stocksberg should be administered by Neulautern. At the urging of his successor, District Administrator Hirsch, and the Stocksberg citizen, the Stuttgart Interior Ministry repealed the decree and ordered that Stocksberg would again be administered from Beilstein from July 1, 1950.

The industrialist Gerd Stieler von Heydekampf , who owned a country house near Stocksberg, donated a cemetery with a chapel to the hamlet with his wife Elisabeth in 1963 , the Protestant Resurrection Chapel , in which services are celebrated once a month. After his death in 1983, Stieler von Heydekampf was buried in the cemetery he founded.
