The Tautschbuch (also Teutschbuch ) is up to 734  m above sea level. NN high wooded ridge on the southern edge of the Swabian Alb . The northern part of the area belongs to the municipality of Zwiefalten , the southern part to the city of Riedlingen .

Geography and geology

The Tautschbuch extends as a seven-kilometer long ridge from southwest to northeast, roughly parallel to the course of the Danube . Its steeper, less indented south-east flank rises around 200 meters above the Danube lowland, the Riedling basin. In the north it is bordered by the lower Zwiefalter Achtal and the mostly dry Tobeltal. The south and west sides are interrupted by several wells. Here the Michelfeld and the Pflummerner Mulde separate the Tautschbuch from the similarly structured elevations of the Reifersberg, Andelfinger Berg and Österberg.

As part of the albnahen tertiary hilly area consists of Tautschbuch from Upper Freshwater whose outcropping northwest sediments supports the southern border of the middle Alb with varying thickness. The ceiling of the ridge consists of a large area of Silvana limestone . Deposits from the later Tertiary era play a subordinate role: Juranagelfluh is completely absent, and gravel from the Urdonau , which covers the Emerberg beyond the Eight Valley , is only found here - possibly relocated - on the Michelfeld. The tongue of the Rißgletscher , which formed the Riedlinger basin, stored its terminal moraine on the southern slopes of Andelfinger Berg and Tautschbuch up to about 580  m above sea level. NN from.

Due to the small catchment area, the numerous springs on the Tautschbuchhang do not have a large discharge; Also, after a short run, part of the water seeps into the karstified white Jura limestone . After all, the amount was enough to set up local water supplies for the surrounding villages at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Tautschbuch is above 600  m above sea level. NN almost completely forested, with the limestone beech forest , partly characterized as sedge-pea-beech forest, still dominating today. There are no settlements on the heights (more, see Tautschhof below). To the west and south of the ridge lie the villages of Mörsingen and Pflummer in spring-rich hollows, and Grüningen , Daugendorf and Bechingen at the south-eastern foot of the slope .

According to the natural spatial structure, the Tautschbuch belongs to the Middle Area Alb (unit 095), as part of its southern peripheral landscapes and bears the designation 095.27.

history

Settlements from the Hallstatt and Roman times have been documented on the south-eastern slope of the ridge . The Tutisbouc was mentioned in a document in 1089, when the Counts of Achalm furnished the newly founded Zwiefalten monastery with property. The defining word of the toponym is traced back to a personal name Tuto , the basic word -buch , as in Schönbuch and Albuch , refers to the forest. The use of wood and pasture in the central forest area had been organized as a cooperative since the Middle Ages, with the communities of Mörsingen, Pflummer, Grüningen and Daugendorf being entitled to use it. In 1614 this area, given as 1090 Jauchert , was divided among the four villages - probably on the initiative of Württemberg , which had acquired the village of Pflimmern in 1606.

Tautschhof

Johann Heinrich Schütz, Minister and legal advisor to Duke Eberhard Ludwig in Württemberg , received the village of Pflimmern as a man's fief in 1722. The following year he set up the Tautschhof on a specially cleared area in the middle of the Tautschbuch. Next to the farm, which ran around 80 Jauchers, five day laborer's houses were built. In 1822, when the municipality of Pflimmern bought the farm, the settlement had 28 residents. All buildings were demolished by 1862 and the area was afforested at the end of the 19th century.
