history

Until the 19th century

The name Münsingen probably goes back to an Alemannic clan leader Munigis, who headed a Huntare in what is now the city . In 775 the name appears for the first time in a deed of donation from the Lorsch Abbey . After the rule of the Franks, the place went to the county of Urach , which sold it to Ulrich I of Württemberg in 1263 . In 1339 Münsingen was granted city rights. When Württemberg was divided by the Nürtingen Treaty of 1441, Münsingen was added to the Urach part, until the reunification of the County of Württemberg was concluded in the Münsingen Treaty in 1482 . On October 23, 1654 Münsingen was raised to the status of an official city.

The size and importance of Münsingen is originally derived from its strategic location. Münsingen was the Württemberg counterpart to the Danube town of Ehingen , which is located in the western part of Austria . After the significant increase in area of ​​the Duchy, now elevated to the Kingdom of Württemberg , which were established by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the Rhine Federation Act, the Oberamt Münsingen was expanded to include many New Württemberg areas at the beginning of the 19th century . In 1893 the construction of the railway reached Münsingen, with which the connection to the route network of the Württemberg State Railway came.

In Münsingen includes the following ruins and remains of the castle: Castle Bichishausen , castle Buttenhausen , castle Hohengundelfingen , castle Hohenhundersingen , castle Hohloch , ruin low Gundelfingen .

The Böttinger marble , which is said to have been discovered by chance during the construction of a house in 1750, is of cultural and historical importance . It was installed in the marble hall and stairwell of the New Palace in Stuttgart in the 18th century . Quarries in the northeast of Böttingen were closed in 1964 and are not accessible due to the risk of falling rocks.

The Stephanuskirche in Gruorn

20th and 21st centuries

In 1895, the Württemberg army began to set up a military training area for the XIII. Army Corps . In the Third Reich it was used again by the Wehrmacht and in 1942 it was declared a community-free area of ​​the Münsingen estate . The Russian Liberation Army under Andrei Andreevich Vlasov was set up there in 1944 . The New Camp, which was built in 1915 and has been called Herzog-Albrecht-Kaserne since 1965 , was finally closed on March 31, 2004. The barracks area was converted into a park settlement by the municipality. The 6698 hectare former military training area and the former community of Gruorn have been open to the public on designated paths since April 2006 .

During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Münsingen became the district town of the Münsingen district from 1938 . In 1945 the city became part of the French zone of occupation and was thus assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 , which was merged into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

On the night of June 3rd to 4th, 1957, several dozen of the 450 inhabitants of the Magolsheim community jointly destroyed a house in which a Sinti family wanted to move in the next day . The municipality of Magolsheim had previously tried all possible ways to prevent this family from moving. When this did not succeed, the locals resorted to vigilante justice and dragged the two-story house down to the foundation walls. In a trial in 1958, 31 people were sentenced to probation in prison for violating the peace and destroying buildings, but according to broad sections of the public they were "morally right". The " Magolsheim Affair " was one of the clearest signs of still widespread antiziganism in the Federal Republic of Germany.

After the dissolution of the Münsingen district as part of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , the city fell to the Reutlingen district in 1973 .

Incorporations

Bichishausen in the Great Lautertal

Dürrenstetten was united with Gundelfingen as early as 1822. As part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , the following previously independent municipalities were incorporated into Münsingen:

  • July 1, 1971: Auingen, Böttingen and Dottingen
  • January 1, 1974: Apfelstetten and Gundelfingen
  • April 1, 1974: Bremelau and Trailfingen

Religions

Martinskirche interior view

The Münsingen Church is mentioned for the first time in 804. The core city of Münsingen and the districts of Apfelstetten, Auingen, Böttingen, Buttenhausen, Dottingen, Hundersingen, Rietheim and Trailfingen come from the Lutheran area of ​​Altwuerttemberg religiously. The Reformation was introduced here in 1537. The border between Württemberg and Upper Austria ran through the Magolsheim district . Due to this peculiarity, this small place has two churches (Protestant and Catholic). The other districts of Bichishausen, Gundelfingen and Bremelau are shaped by their former Fürstenberg and / or Upper Austrian affiliation with Roman Catholics .

The city was the seat of the Münsingen church district of the Evangelical State Church in Württemberg before it merged with the neighboring Bad Urach district to form the Bad Urach-Münsingen church district on December 1, 2013 .

In addition to the two major denominations, the New Apostolic Church , the Baptists , the Methodist Church and the Münsingen Biblical Church are represented in Münsingen today .

In today's district of Buttenhausen there was a Jewish community . The proportion of Jewish families in the area was very high, as was their integration in the population. During the November pogrom in 1938 , the advanced SA troops therefore had to arrest the mayor, who stubbornly resisted the desecration of the synagogue . Then the church was burned down, and the remaining families were subsequently deported and thus victims of the Shoah . At the former location on the Mühlsteige a stone reminds of this event. In addition, a memorial with the names of the 45 murdered Jewish residents was erected in the center of the village in 1961 . The Jewish cemetery , which was used from 1787 to 1943, received a memorial stone.

There is also a mosque in Münsingen , which is operated by the Turkish-Islamic Community of Münsingen e. V., an association under the umbrella organization DİTİB . The community has about 70 members.

During the renovation from 1969 to 1972, remnants of the previous Romanesque building and a Gothic fresco cycle Reichenau School (Passion, Crucifixion) in the choir were uncovered. The nave is adorned with an octagonal pulpit with peasant paintings and a rococo organ from 1786.
  • Auingen : Auingen was originally a subsidiary of Münsingen. In 1360 a chapel was consecrated to St. Pankratius. It was replaced by a new building around 1600. In 1947 Auingen became its own parish. The nave of the Pankratius Church was rebuilt in 1957 by the architect Klaus Ehrlich (architect) on the tower from 1600. The Stuttgart artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler created the colored glazing in the choir (lamb as a symbol of the sacrificial death of Jesus; Heavenly Jerusalem ) and designed the wrought-iron rosette on the outside above the south main entrance ( Pantocrator with the seven stars), made by the Stuttgart art blacksmith Arno Jordan. The crucifix on the altar cross, which is over four meters high, was carved by the artist Emil Jo Homolka from Königsfeld / Black Forest.
  • Böttingen : Originally, Böttingen was a branch of Münsingen. In 1496 the place became its own parish. A chapel of St. Peter was mentioned as early as 1360 and was replaced by a new building in 1511. Today's Petruskirche was rebuilt in 1958 in place of the old church. The altar window from 1958 (Resurrection, Second Coming of Christ) also comes from the Stuttgart glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler.
  • Buttenhausen : A church and parish St. Michael was first mentioned in 1275. In 1508 there is also a mention of a St. Nicholas chapel near the castle. The patronage rights had changing masters. The Reformation was introduced in 1569. Today's St. Martin 's Church is a neo-Gothic building from the early 19th century. The tower of the previous building was taken over. In 1965 the Stuttgart glass artist Adolf Valentin Saile created the glass paintings in the choir (parables according to Lk 10-15, LUT  EU : prodigal son, great feast, good Samaritan).

  • Gruorn , the former village in the middle of the now abandoned military training area Münsingen , is only geographically part of the nearby Münsingen and Trailfingen until its evacuation in 1939. As a community-free area , it has been a deserted area without residentssince and after the end of the military training area and its military use in 2005.

Above all, the design of the ten expressive church windows with glass paintings by Ursula Nollau characterizes the barren church interior. The northern choir window, in particular, illustrates the historical connections that affect Gruorn with the quote from the Bible: How is the city so desolate that was full of people! . This is how the lamentations of Jeremiah begin ( Klgl 1,1  LUT ), in which the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple (around 586 BC) is sung about. - The Kreuzkantor Rudolf Mauersberger (1889-1971) composed the then created Trauermotette under the impressions of the destruction of Dresden in World War II for the Dresden Cross Choir, an a cappella work, composed on Good Friday and -Saturday, 1945.

The old church in Magolsheim was initially used simultaneously until it collapsed in 1870. At the same place, the current Protestant church in neo-Romanesque style was built by the Münsingen official builder Bosler in 1871.
