location

Waldshut-Tiengen is located on the Upper Rhine , which is significantly dammed in this section by the Albbruck-Dogern power plant . Its northern districts protrude into the southern Black Forest . The Waldshut core city is about two kilometers west of the confluence of the Aare into the Rhine, on the border with the Swiss canton of Aargau . The Aare is the largest tributary of the Rhine on its entire route. Tiengen is located near the confluence of the Wutach with the Rhine at the transition to the Klettgau . In addition to the Wutach, the Steina and Schlucht rivers , which flow into the Wutach in the urban area, should also be mentioned. This is why Tiengen was previously also known as the “fourth valley town”. Waldshut-Tiengen is part of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park . Waldshut and Tiengen are located in natural Englagen, any city expansion and redevelopment therefore come up against natural limits, so the construction of a new district began in Waldshut on the Aarberg, in Tiengen on the Vitibuck .

Topography and geology

The landscape ( south-west German stepland ) borders with the Rhine (groundwater channel ) on the Swiss plateau and was shaped by the glaciers and melt waters of the Ice Age ( Urdonau ), while the Black Forest area ( Hotzenwald ) is a basement of the Cambrian . The layers of the Triassic (geology) ( shell limestone , former gypsum quarry near Tiengen) also come to light. There were also drillings for the exploration of thermal water .

climate

The annual precipitation is 1155 mm and is therefore very high. It falls in the upper tenth of the values ​​recorded in Germany; Lower values ​​are registered at 92% of the measuring stations of the German Weather Service . The driest month is September, with most rainfall in December; then there is 1.5 times more precipitation than in September. The rainfall varies moderately. Lower seasonal fluctuations are recorded at 64% of the measuring stations.

Dogern , Albbruck , Dachsberg , St. Blasien , Weilheim (Baden) , Ühlingen-Birkendorf , Wutöschingen , Lauchringen and Küssaberg (all districts of Waldshut) and beyond the Rhine Koblenz , Leuggern and Full-Reuenthal (all canton Aargau / Switzerland). Like Görwihl, Tiefenstein and Rüßwihl

City structure

The urban area of ​​Waldshut-Tiengen consists of the two core cities of Waldshut and Tiengen / Hochrhein and the nine former municipalities of Aichen (with Gutenburg), Breitenfeld , Detzeln , Eschbach , which were incorporated into these two former cities as part of the municipal reform or merged with these two cities . Gurtweil , Indlekofen , Krenkingen , Oberalpfen and Waldkirch (with Gaiß and Schmitzingen ).

Waldshut-Tiengen includes the Homburg district and the Hasenhof near Breitenfeld. (The hamlet of Ettikon with the nearby Lauffen belongs to the municipality of Kadelburg ). For all nine formerly independent municipalities as well as for the Schmitzingen part of the municipality of Waldkirch, localities were set up in accordance with the Baden-Württemberg municipal code; that is, they each have one of the eligible voters in each municipal election to be elected Ortschaftsrat , with a mayor as chairman. The names of the localities are identical to the names of the earlier municipalities except for Aichen-Gutenberg (for the area of ​​the former municipality of Aichen), Gaiß-Waldkirch (for the two residential districts of the former municipality of Waldkirch) and Schmitzingen (formerly part of the municipality of Waldkirch). The number of local councils is six in all localities, but ten in Gurtweil.

Spatial planning

Waldshut-Tiengen forms a middle center in the area of ​​the upper center Lörrach / Weil am Rhein, the middle area of ​​which includes most of the towns and municipalities in the Waldshut district (with the exception of seven municipalities in the Bad Säckingen area ). In addition, there are cross-border links with the cantons of Aargau , Schaffhausen and Zurich in Switzerland.

Waldshut

The first indirect mention of the place Waldshut was found in a conciliation document issued in 1256 in the monastery of St. Blasien , in which an Arnoldo scultheto in Waldishuote was listed. The Freiburg historian Eugen Hillenbrand suspects a foundation in the context of the politics of the Counts of Habsburg near the middle of the 13th century. The first seal of the city from 1277 with the inscription Sigillum civium in Waldishut showed a forest ranger , the so-called "Waldshuter Männle", which was supplemented after 1468 by a coat of arms with the Habsburg lion. On the Easter holidays of 1298, Duke Albrecht prepared his army for two weeks before the decisive battle with Adolf von Nassau in the city. The entire provisions of the army were loaded onto 30 large ships in the Waldshut Rhine port mentioned for the first time. In 1349 a plague pogrom was perpetrated on the city's Jewish community. 1375 The Waldshuter Rhine bridge was part of the executive in the Aargau Gugler victim. - As compensation for the damage caused by the Guglers, the Königsfelden Monastery receives, among other things, the Nieder-Waldshut church fee. In 1380 King Wenceslaus gave the city the privilege of a particularly broad right of asylum. Among the numerous privileges of the city, which were preserved and repeatedly confirmed until 1496, there were previously asylum privileges in 1358, 1361 and 1363. In the battle of Sempach in 1386 the forest bailiff Rudolf von Schönau fell with other members of the Waldshut nobility and servants from the city.

In 1388, a Waldshut contingent, which had missed the battle near Näfels , took part in the defense of Rapperswil . In 1411, the last citizens of the once important Jewish community left the city in the run-up to the Gesera in Vienna . The city of Waldshut lost its southern administrative districts in 1415 due to the conquest of Aargau by the Confederates. The Waldshut coinage was notorious in Zurich. Hussite-minded citizens of the city were persecuted and burned. Damage occurred in 1444 when the Armagnaks were quartered for six weeks , to compensate for this the city was given the privilege of the market, which now takes place twice a year. During the Waldshut War in 1468, the city was bombarded and besieged by the Confederates for six weeks. The annual city festival, the Waldshuter Chilbi, commemorates this event . In 1469 the forest towns, the Habsburg possessions in southern Alsace and the town of Breisach were ceded to the Duchy of Burgundy by way of pledge . Five years later, Captain von Waldshut Wilhelm Herter von Hertneck rose to become the political and military leader of the Lower Association during the Burgundian Wars . A major city fire in 1492 destroyed 182 houses on around 40% of the city's area. Provocations by the Landsknechte stationed in Waldshut contributed to the outbreak of the Swabian War in 1499 .

The majority of the townspeople joined the Reformation in 1524 . In 1525 the Anabaptist direction prevailed under the pastor of the Upper Church, Balthasar Hubmaier ; together with various allies, she failed in her plan to push through against the provincial government in Ensisheim . The city lost important privileges for a long time. The Anabaptist and Reformed citizens were expropriated and expelled from the city. Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, represented in Waldshut by Veit Suter and Marx Sittich von Ems, allied himself in 1529 with the federal Catholic places in the Waldshut Treaty against the reformed federal cantons.

The city of Wahlshut refused to pay tithes to Bern in 1534 . In response to threats of war from Bern, 900 Vorarlberg soldiers were relocated to the city. In 1611 a plague epidemic claimed 568 victims. In 1612 rebellious Hauensteiners occupied the city and plundered the city armory. In 1633, during the Thirty Years' War, the city ​​was handed over to the Rhine Count Johann Philipp von Salm-Kyrburg-Mörchingen without bloodshed. Several citizens fell victim to the reconquest by the Duke of Feria in October of that year. In 1634 the abandoned city was occupied by Bernhard Schaffalitzky von Muckadell for eight weeks for Württemberg until it was relieved by the Landsturm. In 1638, the renewed conquest of the city by a command commissioned by Bernhard von Weimar initiated a twelve-year period under Swedish-French occupation law. In 1677, after the French occupation of Freiburg, Waldshut became the seat of the Upper Austrian government until 1698. In 1689 the town, abandoned by the residents (they had settled on the other bank of the Rhine), was briefly occupied by a military expedition to the French fortress of Hüningen during the Palatinate War of Succession .

In the War of the Spanish Succession of 1701, Waldshut was declared neutral and secured by federal regiments against plans of attack by the spa Bavarians, allied with the French, under Johann Baptist von Arco . Between 1713 and 1715, after the conquest of Freiburg by the Duc de Villars, Waldshut was again the seat of the Upper Austrian government. 44 houses, including the town hall (rebuilt in 1766), burned down in a renewed town fire in 1726.

In 1744 the city was occupied by the French under Armand Fouquet de Belle-Isle during the War of the Austrian Succession and until the beginning of 1745 it was added to the Electorate of Bavaria . For a few months until winter, Waldshut once again became the seat of the Upper Austrian government. During these months the town was unsuccessfully stormed by insurgent saltpeterers . In 1796 the revolutionary troops under General Moreau were welcomed with a freedom tree. While retreating via Waldshut, the French entourage was attacked by Austrian Chevaulegers and Freicorps . Another passage of the French took place in 1800. The Breisgau and the Ortenau were 1801 as a result of the peace of Lunéville and the peace of Amiens Ercole III. d'Este , the exiled Duke of Modena . The Capuchin monastery in front of the city became the property of the Principality of Heitersheim . Part of the Upper Church was demolished in 1804 and expanded to become the Liebfrauen parish church . Waldshut and his Capuchin monastery came to Baden in 1805 after the Peace of Pressburg and Breisgau. In 1813 the Waldshut Committee, an association of reactionary Swiss exiles, forged a plot against the Helvetic Republic. In 1825 Friedrich Frey-Herosé opened a chemical factory for the production of sulfuric acid in the former Capuchin monastery, which existed until 1834. In 1837 the guilds were abolished; the confiscated assets were used to found the Waldshut trade school. The city, which sympathized with the democratic movement, was occupied by the Württemberg military in 1848. The republican Kaspar Stützle was elected mayor in 1849 and deposed after the city was occupied by the Prussian military. The Basel-Waldshut railway line was opened in 1865. Seven years later the connection to Constance was inaugurated. A large part of the bourgeoisie joined the Old Catholic Movement in 1873 . In 1918 a bourgeois workers 'and soldiers' council was established. The arrival of the French in 1945 disempowered the local Nazi regime. In 1975, in a further phase of the community reform that began in 1971, the large district town of Waldshut-Tiengen was created.

Tiengen, Tiengen (Upper Rhine) until September 2, 1964, was first mentioned in 858. In 1146 Abbot Bernhard von Clairvaux visited the Tiengen Church. In 1224 Tiengen was owned by the Barons of Krenkingen , who owned a residential and defense tower here (today's Tiengen Castle ), and the Constance monastery . The right to mint was first mentioned in 1275. On March 28, 1388 King Wenzel granted the noble Johann von Krenkingen, his servant and court judge, the right to slaughter newe guldein muntze for the services rendered .

The city archive contains the description of the cause of the traditional Schwyz Day held annually , the original protocol of the Imperial Court Court: “On August 1st, 1415, the city was attacked by Duke Reinold von Urslingen with his mercenary army. The attack failed because of the bitter resistance of the citizens and, according to tradition, because of the support of the Blessed Mother Mary, who was invoked in prayer ”. Its organization is incumbent on the "Citizens Guild 1503". The Bishopric of Konstanz was Tiengen in 1448 to Ritter Bilgeri of Heudorf fief, which then by numerous feuds in 1468 the Waldshuterstrasse War conjured up. Tiengen was captured by the Confederates , destroyed and occupied by Schaffhausen troops.

In 1476 (after Bilgeri's death), Tiengen von Schaffhausen was returned to the diocese of Constance . In 1482, Bishop Otto IV von Sonnenberg handed over the city of Tiengen to Count Alwig and Rudolf, Count von Sulz . Tiengen thus became the seat of the Landgraves of the Klettgau . In the Swabian War of 1499 Maximilian I was forced to act as the Roman-German king against the Swiss, who wanted to break away from the empire . On April 18, 1499, Tiengen was completely looted and burned down; Waldshut was not involved. The Battle of Dornach ended what had started with the Battle of Morgarten . Switzerland was de facto independent. On September 22nd, 1499 the peace was made in Basel .

In the peasant war that began in Stühlingen , the rebels near Grießen were put down. Among the victims was the Reformed theologian Hans Rebmann . The sovereign was Rudolf V. von Sulz . The Küssaburg was blown up by its own occupation during the Thirty Years War . General Gustaf Horn and Bernhard von Weimar (who occupied Waldshut and Tiengen in 1638, Tiengen was again destroyed), Colonel Graf Villefranche and General Feria were involved in armed conflicts in the area as commanders of the time . The battle near Rheinfelden created a decisive situation . Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen described the horrors of those days in his books.

The princes of Schwarzenberg 1703–1806

On May 22, 1674, the eldest daughter of the last male Count von Sulz Johann Ludwig II , Maria Anna, married the Bohemian Prince Ferdinand zu Schwarzenberg at Langenargen Castle . On November 14, 1676, Johann Ludwig II signed a Fideikommiss and Primogenitur disposition in Tiengen, after which he was initially followed by Maria Anna in total ownership, then her children as the descendants. On October 11, 1677, the disposition was confirmed by Emperor Leopold . With this act, the various Sulzer rights and possessions were combined to form the unified, but not extensive, sovereign territory in the Kleggau . After the death of Johann Ludwig II on August 21, 1687, Maria Anna followed as the ruling landgrave and on September 27 received the homage of her subjects in Tiengen. After the death of the ruling Landgrave and married Princess zu Schwarzenberg in January 1698, the inheritance and legal consequences passed to her underage son Adam Franz, who was under the tutelage of his father Ferdinand. It was only after the death of Prince Ferdinand I on October 22, 1703 that Adam Franz zu Schwarzenberg united the dominions of his parents. According to his father's house law , the Kleggau subjects retained their national regulations and rights. With the Act of Confederation took place in 1806, the media coverage of the Barony of Schwarzenberg in Klettgau. In 1812 Prince Joseph zu Schwarzenberg also sold the civil rights and landlord rights to the Grand Duchy of Baden .

Transition to Baden and Heckerzug

Tiengen became Baden in 1806 and belonged to the Klettgau office and from 1812 to the Tiengen district office, which was dissolved in 1819; thus the city belonged to the district office of Waldshut.

The elections to the Frankfurt constituent national assembly were scheduled for June 7, 1848 in the Tiengen town hall of Tiengen ; Friedrich Hecker had set himself up for the district . He was elected by a large majority; but his election was declared invalid because he was considered a traitor after the failed Hecker move . A second ballot on October 16, 1848 again produced a majority for Hecker and was thus invalid again; so the electoral district remained without representatives in the Paulskirche . More under → Baden Revolution . The time of the Kulturkampf followed . There was a strong movement of Old Catholics in Tiengen . They received the parish church Maria Himmelfahrt for use for a long time.

War against France 1870/1871

Memorial for the fallen of Tiengen in the war of 1870/71

The lion monument on the castle wall by the sculptor Ludwig Gamp from Tiengen commemorates the dead in the war against France in 1870/1871 . He worked in Munich for a long time; let the lion refer to it. The monument was inaugurated on August 31, 1899.

First and Second World War

During the “ Reichskristallnacht ”, the synagogue from 1793 and shortly afterwards the old Jewish cemetery were desecrated. The stones were used to build a retaining wall. The Jews, who can be documented in Tiengen since 1454, were persecuted and had to flee. Five men and 14 women did not flee in time, they were imprisoned, their homes ransacked and dispossessed. The next day the women were brought back from the prison in Waldshut to the town hall in Tiengen. As far as is known, one woman was able to flee, but four women stayed in Tiengen and were picked up by the Gestapo on October 22, 1940.They were taken to the Camp de Gurs internment camp , where one woman died, one woman escaped, two of the women came later probably in the Auschwitz concentration camp . The men were immediately sent to concentration camps, three of them were released from the Dachau concentration camp in 1939 and were able to escape.

When the Allies were advancing from the direction of Waldshut shortly before the tank units arrived, four aircraft dropped around 60 cluster bombs on Tiengen on April 25, 1945 at around 1.30 p.m., claiming seven deaths and some injuries. The white flags were hoisted too late, so that planes flying over in the morning probably expected resistance. The Volkssturm was in action with 100 men until the end with Badoglio guns and bazookas. With the arrival of the French armored troops on the afternoon of April 25, 1945, Tiengen was handed over to the occupation .

According to another source, there were 6 fighters ( Republic P-47 and North American P-51 are to be assumed ) that flew from the west via Tiengen towards Breitenfeld, turned back there and dropped the cluster bombs on the route Fahrgasse - Trottengasse - Bahnhofstrasse . The mayor had forbidden the raising of white flags. It met Elfriede and Karl-Heinz Bellhäuser, eleven and seven years old, in a doorway. Elfriede died soon afterwards, Karl-Heinz succumbed after four weeks in the Waldshut hospital. In the Zubergasse a man who had looked out the window was killed by splinters. A woman with two children died at the train station; the air pressure had burst her lungs. A total of eight people died in the attack. The post office was half destroyed.

Courageous Tiengen citizens then hoisted white flags on the church tower and a father and his son went to meet the advancing troops in Waldshut to surrender, they were accepted as hostages. When they arrived in Tiengen in front of the town hall, the citizens surrendered. As a result of the resistance that had taken place, the occupiers took cruel revenge: all houses had to remain unlocked, they were commandeered and raped.

The tank brigade took up position in the district in the Linkeren and in the Hüller . For the higher ranks rooms had to be provided in the city. The march continued on the Zeppelinstrasse - (today's) federal road to Unterlauchringen.

Gurtweil / Krenkingen

Gurtweil with the Gutenburg (Upper Rhine) initially belonged to the prince abbey of St. Gallen , later to the Rheinau monastery , and since the Thirty Years War to the St. Blasien monastery .

Near the community of Weilheim (Baden) are the remains of Gut-Krenkingen Castle , a tower hill castle from the 12th century.

The town of Waldshut-Tiengen, newly formed as part of the community reform in 1975, exceeded the 20,000 mark when it was founded. Thereafter, the city administration submitted an application for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg approved with effect from July 1, 1976.

religion

Waldshut, parish church

Waldshut initially belonged to the diocese of Constance . In 1524, the former Catholic priest Balthasar Hubmaier , who after 1522 increasingly oriented himself towards Reformation and Anabaptist ideas, introduced the Reformation in Waldshut . But this could not last after the occupation of the city by Habsburg troops. As a result of being part of the Upper Austrian region , Waldshut and the surrounding area remained predominantly Catholic until the 19th century. The city had been the seat of a deanery since the 12th century. The neighboring town of Tiengen and its surrounding area also remained predominantly Catholic, although there were also followers of Hubmaier and his teachings, the Anabaptists . Since 1821 the Catholic parishes in what is now the city of Waldshut-Tiengens belong to the Archdiocese of Freiburg , namely to the two deaneries Waldshut and Wutachtal. They are combined into three pastoral care units: The pastoral care unit Maria Bronnen comprises the parishes of St. Marien Waldkirch, St. Sebastian Aichen and St. Simon and Judas Gurtweil as well as the neighboring parishes of St. Peter and Paul Weilheim, St. Stephan Weilheim-Nöggenschwiel, and St. Pankratius Berau and St. Laurentius Brenden (both in the community of Ühlingen-Birkendorf). The pastoral care unit Waldshut comprises the Liebfrauengemeinde and the neighboring community of St. Klemens in Dogern. In the deanery of Wutachtal, the two parishes of the Assumption of Mary Tiengen and St. Nikolaus Krenkingen belong together with the neighboring parish of Herz Jesu Lauchringen-Unterlauchringen to the pastoral care unit Tiengen.

Jewish families had lived in Tiengen since at least the 19th century and they built a synagogue at Fahrgasse 13 . It was desecrated in the November pogrom in 1938 . Today, several information boards in the village remind of the history of the Tienger Jews. They buried their dead in the Jewish cemetery on Feldbergstrasse , which was desecrated during the Nazi dictatorship and converted into a sports field. Today the area is set up as a memorial, on which 50 names of Jewish residents are listed who were buried here.

In the 19th century Protestants moved to Waldshut and Tiengen again. The Waldshut Protestants were initially looked after from Säckingen. In 1870 Waldshut received its own pastor and in 1890 a branch church was founded. In 1921 the community became its own parish. The Protestants of the districts of Eschbach, Indlekofen and Waldkirch and some neighboring communities also belong to the community of Waldshut today. In Tiengen, too, a community was established in 1871, which was initially a branch of Kadelburg. The Christ Church was built in 1905. It has had its own parish there since 1926. The Protestants from the districts of Aichen, Breitenfeld, Detzeln, Gurtweil and Krenkingen as well as some neighboring communities now also belong to the Protestant community of Tiengen. The Protestants from the Oberalpfen district belong to the neighboring community of Albbruck. The two communities Waldshut and Tiengen belong to the church district Hochrhein of the Evangelical State Church in Baden .

The establishment of the Waldshut Evangelical Free Church Community goes back to 1951. Church planters were mainly Baptist refugees from the former German eastern regions who had found a new home in Waldshut. In 1953 the Balthasar Hubmaier Church on Untere Haspelstraße was inaugurated. The name of the church is reminiscent of the Waldshut reformer and expresses the affinity of the community with his Anabaptist views. Within their free church , the Waldshut Baptists belong to the Evangelical Free Church State Association of Baden-Württemberg .

The Waldshut free churches also include the Adventist community , whose community center is located on Robert-Bosch-Straße.

The Old Catholics in Waldshut-Tiengen belong to the Catholic Parish of the Old Catholics Hochrhein-Wiesenthal , based in Säckingen . For their services in Waldshut, the Roman Catholic parish grants them the right to host in the old hospital chapel on Rheinstrasse.

There is also a New Apostolic Church congregation in each of the two districts of Waldshut and Tiengen .

The Jehovah's Witnesses have ever a Kingdom Hall .

In Tiengen is a small mosque Community Khuddam ul-Ahmadiyya .

mayor

A mayor stood at the head of the town of Waldshut, assisted by a council of eight members. Both were elected. In 1527 the mayor was temporarily installed by the sovereign. In addition to this there were also councilors ("Inner Council") consisting of four "old" and four "new" councils. The first was the mayor of the town, the mayor of the city. As a representative of the citizens there was an "external council" with guild masters. The internal council had a different composition in the 16th century: in addition to the mayor, the governor of the mayor, the town clerk and five councilors belonged to it. The external council then had six members. Since 1789 there was a mayor instead of the mayor's governor.

In Tiengen there was initially a mayor and six councilors, from 1422 an elected mayor and councilors as well as a bailiff appointed by the sovereign. The statutes were then changed several times. In 1703 the mayor carried the title of mayor.

The mayor of Waldshut-Tiengen has been named " Lord Mayor " since it was elevated to the status of a major district town in 1976 . This is now directly elected by the electorate for a term of eight years. He is chairman of the municipal council. His general deputy is the 1st alderman with the official title " Mayor ".

He is interpreted as a forest ranger and is therefore a so-called " talking coat of arms ". The crescent moon Madonna with the child is already printed in the old Tiengen seals. However, the blazon was changed compared to the previous colors.

School history

Gregor Reisch : The two-tier Latin school as the foundation of the Tower of Science

A Latin school is reported for Waldshut as early as the 13th century. The first mention of a schoolmaster was around the year 1300. Two-tier Latin schools were set up at this time to teach the choirboys of the town churches, in Waldshut the Johanniskirche. Instruction was given by the clergy. In the basement of the Johanniskirche, the lower church, in the Middle Ages was also the city archive. In the cleric Werner the Schreiber, who, according to Martin Gerbert, had a collection of 50 books in 1335, one can also assume the schoolmaster. Due to the existence of an important Jewish community up to 1411, the existence of a Jewish school can also be deduced, since the practice of faith required reading the Torah . The people priest of the upper church Johannes Schürmeiger bequeathed his textbooks containing library to his church on May 8th 1450. It is possible that the Latin school had already passed to St. Leodegar, the upper church, at this point in time. Full-time schoolmasters are occupied towards the end of the 15th century. In 1509 the cleric and Waldshut schoolmaster Bernharter obtained a benefice in Bolligen in Bern .

The Waldshut school system experienced a high point in the first quarter of the 16th century. The register books of the universities of Basel, Freiburg, Tübingen, Strasbourg and from 1500 onwards several students with the note "Waldishutanus" who, after completing their studies, became priests, reformers in the person of Heinrich Schürer as lecturers at Johann Amerbach . The Waldshut furrier and Baptist Jakob Gross was able to read and write. When he was arrested in Augsburg in 1527, he owned several books. A German school for Waldshut can only be assumed from the 16th century. The first more detailed information on the duties of the Waldshut schoolmaster can be found in the swearing-in form from 1631. Only during the French-Swedish occupation from 1638 to 1650 does the school seem to have ceased. The schoolmasters hired themselves out in neighboring Switzerland during this period. In the 18th century, the Waldshut schoolmasters complained that they were used for serf and guard duty on the walls. As a result of Maria Theresa's school reform, compulsory teaching in elementary schools was extended to six years. However, the Waldshut school system fell back for a long time due to the Josephine school reforms and above all due to the transition to Baden. The higher education entrance qualification, which was still intended exclusively for male students, could only be obtained externally at the beginning of the 19th century. The bourgeoisie preferred to send their sons to Freiburg, Villingen and Constance. The syndic Mathias Föhrenbach preferred to entrust his sons to Pestalozzi in Yverdon . Their admission was arranged by the Waldkirch parish administrator Philipp Jakob Nabholz .

In 1585, Lucas Beckh, a schoolmaster, was mentioned for the first time in Tiengen in Sulz and Schwarzenberg, due to his consistently dissolute lifestyle. (His son Johann Jakob von Beck brought it to the Imperial Council). Up until the 19th century, lessons were optional through the chaplains. From 1862 the Tienger students were referred to the Waldshut Higher Citizens School. The large Jewish community had its own school in private houses until 1861, which was first mentioned in an admission letter from 1718. From 1827 to 1876 there was an Israelite denominational school in Tiengen, which became obsolete with the introduction of compulsory schooling.

After the transition of Upper Austria to Baden in December 1805, a Grand Ducal Baden Study Commission worked out the restructuring of the school system that had been taken over. The grammar school in Villingen should be reduced in favor of Latin schools in smaller towns. Waldshut came last among the suggested locations. Which is provided with adoption of the Grand Ducal MOI of 28 December 1814 a school fund, built on the elementary school, two-class citizens and junior high school in Waldshut developed over a four classes grammar school (1840) and secondary school (1893) late to a grammar school (1906 ). Girls were not admitted until the 1901/02 school year. The Abitur could be taken from 1924, the renaming to the grammar school did not take place until 1948. The vocational school system began on January 16, 1837 with the start of the vocational school .

Based on 20 students at the beginning of the century, five teachers taught 45 students in Waldshut in 1870. The teachers' library, founded in 1810, comprised 300 volumes at that time, and the school library 200 volumes. In 1834, the teacher of the Waldshut citizen school Franz Xaver Holzapfel wrote a geometry textbook : Basic teaching of elementary geometry: with application to the calculation of areas and bodies for citizen schools , which was published in the first edition by the widow Maier in Waldshut and which was published in several editions. Raymund Netzhammer , Archbishop of Bucharest, attended the secondary school in Waldshut from 1871 to 1876.
