Sulgen or Bergvorstadt Sulgen is a district of the city of Schramberg in the Rottweil district in Baden-Württemberg .

In official maps, Sulgen is referred to as Bergvorstadt Sulgen , Schramberg-Sulgen or Schramberg District Sulgen . Sulgen was a political municipality in Württemberg , which only existed from 1934 to 1939. Sulgen emerged from the formerly independent communities Sulgen and Sulgau. In the local dialect the place is still called "Sulga" or "Sulge" . The name goes back to an Old High German word sul , which means "swampy place, pool of water". The importance lies today in the word wallow for pools of water in which wild pigs wallow. Sulgen's local mountain is the Sulgener Berg , on which the Sulgen water tower is also located .

history

Sulgau

Sulgau was an old Württemberg parish and Protestant parish (Sulgau-Schönbronn). In 1444 Konrad von Falkenstein sold his Sulgau and Schönbronn possessions to Count Ludwig von Württemberg . In 1535 the Reformation prevailed in Wuerttemberg areas, and until the union with the Catholic Sulgen in 1934 the community remained a predominantly Protestant community. The special thing about Sulgau was that Sulgau itself had no church and the believers had to hike to Schönbronn, about seven kilometers away. This condition was not corrected until 1957 when a Protestant church was built in the unified Sulgen.

Sulgen

From the St. Wendelin chapel south of the old path, the later settlement and Catholic parish of Sulgen with the church of St. Laurentius developed on the plateau at the corner (today's Eckenhof). Sulgen was always a Catholic part of the Schramberg rule. In Sulgen, a village center with a church square and school developed around the church of St. Laurentius. This village center still exists today.

Period from 1934 to 1939

Sulgen, made up of Sulgen and Sulgau, only experienced a short period of political independence. It was forcibly united with Schramberg in 1939 by the National Socialists. This period is also closely linked to the name of David Deiber , the first mayor of the united Sulgen. David Daiber was murdered by the National Socialists in the Dachau concentration camp. Today, David-Daiber-Straße, which connects the new building area Eckenhof with the new Staige, reminds of David Daiber.

post war period

The mountain suburb of Sulgen experienced rapid change in the post-war period. The settlement area changed steadily, in the 1950s and 1960s the formerly separate settlements Sulgen and Sulgau grew together along Sulgauerstraße to form a coherent settlement pattern. In the 1960s and 1970s, the new building area Eckenhof was developed by Schramberger Wohnungsbau , and at the same time work began on the construction of the industrial area between the former Sulgau and Heiligenbronn . Sulgen has meanwhile become Schramberg's demographic growth engine. Much of Schramberg's industrial production is now on the Sulgen. The confessional boundaries have been smoothed or no longer play a role. The united Sulgen has changed its settlement area dramatically in the last 50 years. The former village structures of the Catholic-Bissingschen Sulgen and Evangelical-Württemberg Sulgau have virtually disappeared.
