geography

Geographical location

Tafertsweiler is located around 3.2 kilometers northeast of the main town of Ostrach in a terminal moraine landscape . The village is dominated by agriculture and is almost completely enclosed by a wide forest belt. The moraine material has been mined by the Weimar gravel dredger since 1983.

Expansion of the area

The total area of ​​the Tafertsweiler district covers around 1950 hectares (as of December 31, 2010).

structure

The village of Tafertsweiler consists of the four former Hohenzollern residential areas Tafertsweiler , Bachhaupten , Eschendorf and Gunzenhausen as well as the former Wirnsweiler exclave , which before the municipality reform belonged to the former Württemberg municipality of Friedberg , now a district of Bad Saulgau .

history

Tafertsweiler in the Ostrachgau was the property of the last baronial sprout Bertold von Bachobiten (Bachhaupten), who died as a monk in the Salem monastery . In 1175, Salem acquired Bachhaupten, Tafertsweiler and Eschendorf by will or purchase. In 1200, with the approval of Counts Konrad and Heinrich von Wartenberg, the possessions of Messrs Haller zu Gunzenhausen came to Salem. Thus the places Bachhaupten, Tafertsweiler, Eschendorf and Gunzenhausen formed the first Salemische Amt in Ostrachgau - the Amt Bachhaupten.

In 1603 the office of Bachhaupten was moved to the market town of Ostrach and was called Oberamt Ostrach. The secular bailiff was now in Ostrach, the clergyman, a priest, stayed in the castle at Bachhaupten as prefect and representative of the imperial abbot of Salem.

When the 40th abbot, Kaspar Oexle , ruled, the fateful end came over the free imperial monastery of Salem and thus for the "Upper Rulership", the region around Ostrach. On February 25, 1803, the princes were compensated for assignments on the left bank of the Rhine in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of Regensburg. In the context of secularization , the final hour also struck for the Reichsstift Salem.

According to the history book Salem or Salmansweiler from 1863, already at the end of 1802, months before the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss, the imperial monastery was expropriated and the dominion of Ostrach and its possessions were taken over, i.e. the Oberamt Ostrach with Ostrach and the surrounding villages such as Tafertsweiler , by the Princely House of Thurn und Taxis , which was already present in the region as the owner of the Friedberg-Scheer county on the right of the Ostrach.

The Oberamt Ostrach still existed after 1806 after a short affiliation to Thurn und Taxis, when it was mediated in favor of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen by means of the Rheinbundakt . Thurn and Taxis retained as a nobleman certain rights, the lower courts and the right to hunt. From then on the Oberamt Ostrach existed as a patrimonial office under Hohenzollern sovereignty. The manual of the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen from 1844 shows that the parish village of Tafertsweiler had 48 buildings and 171 inhabitants at that time and, including the noble forests of the Bachhaupten district, was 4356 acres in size.

Postcard from Tafertsweiler

Tafertsweiler belonged to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen from 1806 to 1829 in the Hohenzollern Oberamt Ostrach . In 1850 the Oberamt Ostrach went to Prussia as part of the Hohenzollern Lands . The civil patrimonial jurisdiction was abolished in 1852. In the course of a simplification of the administration, the Oberamt Ostrach was abolished by decree of March 28, 1862 and incorporated into the Oberamt Sigmaringen . Through the law to simplify administration of October 7, 1925, the municipality of Tafertsweiler became part of the Sigmaringen district . In 1948, a serious infectious disease could be restricted to the place by being sealed off.

As part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , the independent municipality of Tafertsweiler was incorporated into Ostrach on October 1, 1974.

coat of arms

The former municipal coat of arms of Tafertsweiler shows a split shield above in silver on a red lifting boom a red bucket, below in black a double row of red and silver slanted beams.

The coat of arms was awarded to the municipality of Tafertsweiler on February 15, 1949 by the Württemberg-Hohenzollern Ministry of the Interior . The lifting tree with a bucket is interpreted as a kind of quick scale. Following the proposal of the Sigmaringen State Archives, the coat of arms combines two coat of arms motifs in historical order: the motif of the Lords of Bittelschieß and the motif of the Reichsstift Salem , with which Tafertsweiler was connected until 1803.
