history

The former Römerschanze in the north

prehistory

The history of Türkheim can be traced back to the early Mesolithic . At that time, hunters and gatherers roamed this area. The first settlers settled there in the Neolithic Age . They lived from agriculture and animal husbandry. In the Bronze Age there was a settlement north of Türkheim on the Goldberg.

Around 500 BC BC the Celts penetrated the Türkheim area. They built a rampart ( Römerschanze or Keltenschanze ) on the Haldenberg, which probably served religious purposes. In the year 15 BC The Romans conquered the entire area, it became the province of Raetia with the capital Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg). Their main street, which led from Augsburg to Kempten , still runs through Türkheim today. In the 4th century, the Romans built a fortification on the Goldberg and gave it the name Rostrum Nemaviae .

After almost five centuries , the Romans were conquered by the Alamanni , who increasingly found their way into the area. The first Alemannic families settled demonstrably around 500 AD in Ettringen and Irsingen. In the 5th century there was a battle between the Frankish Merovingians and the Alamanni, from which the Merovingians emerged victorious. To seal this, they settled a Thuringian family association that was probably forcibly displaced in Türkheim. The name of the community comes from this home of the Thuringian . The development of the place name from Durincheim to Türkheim can be proven on the basis of historical sources. The first documentary mention of Türkheim, on the occasion of a Guelf donation to Weingarten Monastery, dates back to 1090. The name used by the autochthonous inhabitants of the village for the village is "Dürka".

The village up to the transition to Bavaria

In the early Middle Ages, the Schwabegg rulership came into being, to which Türkheim also belonged. The Guelphs sold this rule to the Waalers, the Lords of Riedheim , the Augsburgers Gossenbrod and Paumgartner, the Lords of Knöringen , the Counts of Rechberg , the Füllen of Windach and the Princes of Hohenzollern .

The right of patronage and the tithing of the Türkheim church had already been granted to the regulated canons of the Holy Sepulcher in Denkendorf in 1226 . After the Reformation , with which the Denkendorf monastery became Protestant, in July 1560 Denkendorf sold the Türkheimer tithe to the Augsburg citizen Hieronymus Kraft. He probably sold it to the Bavarian Duke Albrecht V at the beginning of 1561. The right of presentation was also transferred to the Bavarian mansion.

The market from the 17th to the 19th century

In 1666, Elector Ferdinand Maria released the pledged rule of Schwabegg from the Hohenzollerns and handed it over as a paternal inheritance to his brother, Duke Maximilian Philipp . When the elector died in 1679 and his son Max Emanuel was not yet of legal age, Maximilian Philipp was administrator of Bavaria until 1680. After that he retired to Türkheim with a state court. He brought the Capuchins to Türkheim and on October 7, 1700 raised the village to a market .

His wife Mauritia Febronia founded a hospital. The ducal court attracted artisans. The Türkheim carpenters, painters and sculptors' workshops supplied church furnishings as far as Switzerland. The Bergmüller and Hegenauer, Martin Beichel and Ignaz Hillenbrand were among their most important representatives.

The Benno- and Leonhardkapelle fell victim to the secularization in Türkheim. Due to a decree of King Ludwig I, the Capuchin monastery could continue to exist. As a place of jurisdiction ( upper and lower court ), Türkheim had a high degree of centrality, mainly places in the Flossach valley and in the southern perennials were part of the catchment area. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

The Dominicans from Bad Wörishofen set up a branch in Türkheim in 1859, which took over the local girls' school. Her confessor, Pastor Kneipp , came to the Türkheim monastery once a week. However, he did not apply for the vacant pastor's position in Türkheim. Commemorative plaques in the parish church remind that Türkheimers were also killed in Napoleon's Russian campaign and in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.

Concentration camp memorial, inscription:
Frommer atonement be consecrated this time.
That new we walk in righteousness.

The market from the 20th century to the present

In 1908 the Staudenbahn was opened from Türkheim station to Ettringen, which was extended to Gessertshausen in 1912. In 1917 Jakob Sigle bought a wood grinding shop on the Wertach and expanded it into a salamander shoe factory .

82 soldiers did not return from the First World War, 107 Turkheimers died in the Second World War and 99 remained missing.

In the autumn of 1944, the Todt organization began to build houses and a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp ( Kaufering VI ) for 2,000 prisoners, which consisted of a women's and a men's camp, near the upper train station (today Türkheim train station ) . The prisoners had to do forced labor for underground armaments production under miserable conditions , and hundreds perished. A memorial chapel reminds of this. American troops marched into Türkheim on April 27, 1945.

The most famous prisoner was Viktor Frankl , who was transferred from the Auschwitz concentration camp to Türkheim. According to him, was Dr. Viktor Frankl street named. It leads to a small cemetery that commemorates the victims.

After the Second World War, Türkheim lost some public institutions: 1960 the police station, 1969 the Türkheim district court and the agricultural school, 1977 the Dominican monastery, 1983 the hospital (today an old people's home); In 1987, passenger traffic on the Staudenbahn was stopped. The community was hit hard by the economic problems of its two largest companies, Salamander and Schneider . Salamander was split up and continues to exist, while Schneider closed down for good in 2005 after several attempts to save the bankrupt company.

In return, investments were made in education and infrastructure: a new grammar school was built in 1972. The Hauptschule offers the M-Zug, which makes it possible to pass the secondary school leaving certificate. As early as the 1960s, Bundesstraße 18 was built on Türkheimer Flur as an intersection-free road for motor vehicles , which, however, no longer meets today's traffic volume. By 2002, this section was expanded into a motorway. Since the A 96 was fully expanded in 2009, not only the state capital Munich, but Memmingen and Lindau can also be reached via four lanes.

In 2003 the second section of the bypass road was completed and the town center was freed from through traffic . Since then, the main street and some secondary streets have been redesigned and embellished in several stages.

Incorporations

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent neighboring community of Irsingen was incorporated.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2008, Türkheim grew 1,411 inhabitants or by approx. 27%. Increased growth has been evident since 2014. Between 1988 and 2018 the market grew from 5,256 to 7,290 by 2,034 inhabitants or 38.7%.

History of the other parts of the community

mountain

Berg is thought to have been settled from Ettringen around 1000 AD. Where the chapel stands today was probably the castle of a dynasty of the lower nobility in the Middle Ages. Welf IV donated Berg to Weingarten Monastery, which until 1533 gave it to various lords as a fief . The most important owner after that was the St. Jakobs benefice in Augsburg. At that time the hamlet had seven properties. Berg came to Türkheim during the time of Duke Maximilian Philipp.

Irsingen

→ Main article : Irsingen (Türkheim)

Irsingen was first mentioned in 1084. The place became a political municipality in 1818 and incorporated into the market in Türkheim on May 1, 1978. In the past almost entirely geared towards agriculture, Irsingen is also increasingly popular as a rural place to live. Today Irsingen has about 730 inhabitants and has its own club. The brass band of the music club, which also has a youth band, is well known. On October 3rd, 1998 the youth center Irsingen (better known under the name Juze Freiheit or Juze ) was inaugurated by the youth and customs association .

Blazon : “Divided; above two golden diagonal bars in blue, below in silver a green hilly landscape with a silver wave bar. ”The coat of arms was designed by the Schwageggis maintenance inspector Valentin von Drexel .

The sloping bars in the upper part of the shield are taken from the coat of arms of the former Grafschaft Schwabegg, but in the colors gold - blue (instead of silver - red); the green hills and the silver wave bar indicate the location of the market in Türkheim an der Wertach and the pre-alpine landscape. The baroque version of the coat of arms showed a house and a church in the foreground. The coat of arms was already expressly awarded for use in the seal in the award document of 1700, but only appeared in a simplified form on the mayor's medal and the official seal of the market in the first half of the 19th century.

flag

The flag of the market is striped blue and yellow (1: 1) with an applied coat of arms.

Due to the high expenditure and the low response, this project is likely to be subject to modification in the future. Critics find the label unsuitable and see the term ducal shopping with reference to the past of Türkheim as more suitable.
