history
_-_cropped.jpg)
Aulendorf until 1950
Aulendorf was first mentioned in the 10th century as Aligedorf . At first it was Welf property , then Staufer , from the late Middle Ages under the Lords of Königsegg, then under the Counts of Königsegg-Aulendorf and from July 12, 1806 under Württemberg . In 1682 Aulendorf received market rights after the newly formed Königsegg-Aulendorf line had moved here in 1681. In the Kingdom of Württemberg the place belonged to the Oberamt Waldsee .
Aulendorf has been on the Ulm – Friedrichshafen railway since May 26, 1849 , and when the Herbertingen – Isny railway was opened on July 25, 1869, the place became a railway junction . The Aulendorf locomotive station, which was still preparing peat -fired locomotives for operation until 1910 , was expanded into a railway depot after the First World War .
During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Aulendorf came to the Ravensburg district in 1938.
After the Second World War, Aulendorf was part of the French occupation zone and thus became part of the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
In 1950 Aulendorf was elevated to the status of town, in 1956 the Progymnasium and 1974 the fully developed grammar school opened.
Incorporations
On February 1, 1972, the previously independent communities of Blönried, Tannhausen and Zollenreute were incorporated into Aulendorf.

mayor
- 1954–1968: August Kink
- 1968–1988: Heinz Lang (CDU)
- 1988-2004: Johannes Heinzler (CDU)
- 2004–2008: Georg Eickhoff (CDU)
- 2008– : Matthias Burth (independent)
Georg Eickhoff (CDU) surprisingly announced his resignation on May 27, 2008. Matthias Burth, who was elected on August 31, 2008 and who was previously a treasurer in Talheim , has been in office since October 1, 2008 . For the period from June to October, Edgar Schaz, leader of the Free Voters faction in the Ravensburg district council, was appointed by the municipal council as administrative administrator .
Indebtedness
In 2008, the city of Aulendorf had around 64 million euros in debt with 10,000 residents. This made it the most heavily indebted community in Baden-Württemberg. The debts stem mainly from a failed spa policy in the 1990s and urban mismanagement.
The spa clinics and thermal baths built under Mayor Johannes Heinzler (CDU, 1988–2004) could not be operated profitably from the start. The resulting deficits were covered by the city. Missing annual accounts, fake contracts and booking tricks made it possible to cover up the financial problems from the supervisory authorities for years. At the end of 2004, Aulendorf's official debt was 20 million euros. In 2008, Heinzler was sentenced to a fine by the Bad Waldsee District Court for breach of trust. He had sold urban land below its value.
The mayor from 2004 to 2008, Georg Eickhoff (CDU), privatized the clinic and the nursing home. In addition, he presented a budget security concept that provided for the closure of local administrations, the cancellation of association subsidies, the introduction of hall fees and savings in cleaning services. Nevertheless, the debt load rose to 64 million euros under his aegis. The city lost six million euros because it did not collect sewer and sewage fees from homeowners. Eickhoff accused Kurt Widmaier of the district administrator of the Ravensburg district of having violated his duty to supervise the community during the years in office of his predecessor and thus complicit in the mountain of debts in Aulendorf. The municipal council decided on December 27, 2007 to sue the state of Baden-Württemberg as the legal supervisor of the Ravensburg district for 22.3 million euros. The lawsuit was withdrawn by the local council on August 25, 2008.
The municipal examination institute (GPA) came to the conclusion in June 2008 that the city can no longer dispose of the mountain of debt on its own. She accused the administration of a non-transparent presentation of the actual financial strength, a lack of countermeasures and deficiencies in the structural and procedural organization. Mayor Eickhoff resigned from office shortly before the GPA report was handed over.
In 2009, the Baden-Wuerttemberg Council of Ministers decided on a package of measures that provides the city of Aulendorf with financial aid amounting to 39.2 million euros by 2016, while at the same time making drastic savings. Aulendorf is the only town in Baden-Württemberg that receives financial support from the state.
In 2014, Aulendorf's debt repayment exceeded the targets set in the financial aid agreement concluded with the state of Baden-Württemberg. The total debt was just under 24 million euros. The debt burden was reduced by around 34 million between 2010 and 2014. Until the financial aid contract with the state expires in 2016, 3.23 million euros are still to be repaid.
By the end of 2018, the city's debt is expected to have shrunk to 13 million euros. At the same time, the municipality plans to have reserves of EUR 8.6 million.
