Districts

District town hall Obertürkheim

When the city of Stuttgart was divided into districts in 1956, the Obertürkheim district was combined with the Uhlbach district, which was incorporated into Stuttgart on April 1, 1937, to form the Obertürkheim district. The most recent reorganization of the urban area on January 1, 2001 did not change the district of Obertürkheim, so that the district town hall in Obertürkheim continues to administer two districts.

Obertürkheim district

Obertürkheim am Neckar was first mentioned in 1251, on April 1, 1922 it was incorporated into Stuttgart. The district Brühl am Neckar belonged to the municipality of Obertürkheim until it was outsourced to Esslingen am Neckar on April 1, 1923 and was mainly used as pasture.

Uhlbach district

The wine village of Uhlbach , located in a valley basin, was first mentioned in a document in 1247. The Uhlbacher Kelter was mentioned as early as 1366, the Andreas Church was built in 1490 and the imposing half-timbered town hall was built in 1612. In 1923 Uhlbach and Rotenberg came to the Oberamt Eßlingen for a few years until it was incorporated into Stuttgart in 1937.

history

Esslinger Mélacturm above Obertürkheim

There are several theories about the origin of the place name. The first goes back to an Alemannic king with the hypothetical name Durinkhain from the 6th century. Proponents of this theory point to the discovery of an Alemannic princely grave on the Ailenberg near Obertürkheim. The name of the deceased in the grave is unknown. Another theory goes back to a group of Thuringians who are said to have settled here. There is neither evidence nor records for this, only parallels to similar sounding place names elsewhere (see Türkheim and Bad Dürkheim ). Another hypothesis on place names of the form Dürk / Türk / Zürch derives this from the Basque word iturri for source. The current name of the city is (Ober-) Dürkna in the local dialect

Both districts of the Obertürkheim district were border towns in the Middle Ages. Here the area of ​​the Württemberg met that of the Free Imperial City of Esslingen am Neckar .

The Mélacturm , built in 1575, stands on the Ailenberg and is already part of the fortification system of the free imperial city of Esslingen. This is where the legendary figure Schlurger lives, who shuffles through the vineyards of the upper Neckar suburbs at night and scares idle people or picks them up straight away.

During the administrative reform of the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century, Obertürkheim remained assigned to the Cannstatt Oberamt and thus belonged to the Neckar District from 1818 . On November 7th, 1845 Obertürkheim was put into operation as the third station of the Württemberg railway after Cannstatt and Untertürkheim on the Zentralbahn . From November 20, 1845, neighboring Esslingen was also connected to the railway line.

Transport and economy

The Neckar, which is navigable here, and the eastern part of the Neckar harbor lie within the district ; the Obertürkheim barrage is already on the Hedelfinger district.
