history
Ancient and Middle Ages
In early history, the area around Tuttlingen was probably located in the settlement area of the Celtic Tulingers , who from 15 BC onwards. Were subjugated and romanized by the Roman Empire . As part of the later Roman province of Upper Germany , the region lay on the Upper German-Raetian Limes on the Donausüdstraße ( via iuxta Danuvium ) until around 95 AD . At that time, there was probably a fort in the area of today's Tuttlingen old town . Due to the dense settlement of the area nowadays, excavations have not been carried out so far, so that very little is known about the Tuttlingen fort . After the withdrawal of the Roman legions, the Suebi and / or Alamanni settled in the local area.
In the Middle Ages , Tuttlingen was first mentioned in a document in 797 and a short time later it belonged to Reichenau Monastery . The place received city rights before 1338 and belonged to Württemberg since 1376/77 .
With the construction of the fortress on the Honberg, Tuttlingen was expanded by Eberhard im Bart around 1460 to become a first-rate border fortress .
Early modern age
As a fortified southern outpost of Württemberg, it was always fought over during the Thirty Years' War . The main event was the battle of Tuttlingen on November 24, 1643 , in which the entire French army was wiped out by the united imperial-Bavarian troops under Melchior Graf von Hatzfeldt , Franz von Mercy and Johann von Werth .
In 1703 a French army of around 35,000 men crossed the Rhine again during the War of the Spanish Succession under Marshal Villars , took the Kehl fortress and finally turned against the Kinzig valley. There were only 4,000 defenders of the Swabian Empire under the command of Prosper Ferdinand von Fürstenberg-Stühlingen . He recognized the hopeless situation and, with luck, was able to withdraw to Wolfach . Gengenbach , Zell am Harmersbach and Haslach were taken by the French, Hausach razed to the ground. The Wolfachers, however, were lucky. After some hesitation, Villars had his army march south through the Gutach Valley to Villingen. There he failed on May 4th and 5th a coup d'état on the inadequately fortified city. On May 12th he met the Bavarian troops under Elector Maximilian II Emanuel in Tuttlingen . In the same year they jointly defeated the imperial troops in the First Battle of Höchstädt .
Tuttlingen was already the seat of an upper bailiff's office and in 1755 it became the seat of a Württemberg upper office , which was changed several times in the course of its history.
On November 1st, 1803, Tuttlingen burned down completely within the city walls . The city was rebuilt from 1804 onwards according to a plan by the master builder Carl Leonard von Uber with classicist, right-angled streets and square-style houses.
Tuttlingen after the city fire in 1803
Through the Rhine Confederation Act of July 12, 1806, Tuttlingen fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden together with the part of the Tuttlingen Oberamt on the right side of the Danube . However, in October of the same year, this area was re-incorporated into the Kingdom of Württemberg via the exchange and epuration agreement and, according to the administrative structure, confirmed as the seat of the Tuttlingen District Office. In 1830 the two Württemberg exclaves within Baden, Bruderhof (267 hectares) and Hohentwiel (116 hectares), were assigned to the Tuttlinger Stadtflur and from 1851 belonged to the city of Tuttlingen as sub-communities. This condition remained until the end of 1968 (see Württemberg exclaves ). The connection of the city to the route network of the Württemberg railway in 1869 was of decisive importance for the later industrial development . The former Tuttlinger train station was replaced by a new building in 1933.
During the Nazi era in Württemberg , the Tuttlingen Regional Office was renamed the Tuttlingen District in 1934. In 1938 the district was transferred to the Tuttlingen district , which was expanded to include the dissolved Spaichingen district . During the Second World War there were prisoner-of-war camps and forced labor camps in Tuttlingen , in which workers who were forcibly assigned to the local industry were housed. In February and March 1945, Tuttlingen experienced a total of five air raids , four of which mainly targeted the train station. On April 21, 1945, parts of the French 1st Army occupied the city. Tuttlingen thus became part of the French zone of occupation . Railway bridges were blown up and until 1952 the “Mühlau” POW camp, the “Dépôt de transit N ° 2”, was a transit and release camp for hundreds of thousands of German prisoners of war in the French occupation zone. Today the Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium and the Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium are located on this site .
In 1947 Tuttlingen came to the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , in 1952 to the newly founded state of Baden-Württemberg and there in the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern .
In 1949 the population had already exceeded 20,000. Therefore, when the Baden-Württemberg municipal code came into force on April 1, 1956, Tuttlingen was declared a major district town . The two Tuttlinger exclaves Bruderhof and Hohentwiel were incorporated into the town of Singen (Hohentwiel) in 1967 and early 1969 respectively . During the district reform in 1973 , the district of Tuttlingen was expanded to what it is today, increasing the number of inhabitants by a third and the area by three times - at the same time, the district was now assigned to the Freiburg administrative district .
History of the districts
Möhringen was first mentioned in 786 as Mereingen. Around 973 the place came to the Reichenau, which lent it to various noble families. In the 13th century Möhringen was the seat of the Reichenau Bailiwick. Around 1300 Möhringen was probablyelevated to the status of cityby Heinrich von Klingenberg , Bishop of Constance. In the 15th century jurisdiction was also transferred to the Klingenbergs, who sold the town with the villages of Eßlingen and Ippingen to the Fürstenbergers in1527. In 1806 Möhringen came to Baden and initially belonged to the Oberamt Möhringen, from 1813 to the Amt Engen, from 1824 again to the Amt Möhringen, from 1844 again to the Amt Engen and after its dissolution in 1936 to the District Office Donaueschingen , from which the district Donaueschingen emerged in 1939. When it was incorporated into the city of Tuttlingen on January 1, 1973, Möhringen became part of the Tuttlingen district. Möhringen has had the title of "state-approved climatic health resort" since 1980.
Nendingen was first mentioned in 1092, but the place was probably founded much earlier. It was owned by the Counts of Nellenburg , who passed it on to the Hirscheck- Konzenberg and the latter to the von Wartenberg . Finally he came torule of Weitingen through the Counts of Zollern . In 1411 Nendingen was part of the Mühlheim rule , but numerous monasteries had property in the village. With Mühlheim Nendingen came to Württemberg in 1805 and was assigned to the Tuttlingen District Office.
Eßlingen was first mentioned in 1225 as "Esselingen". As part of the Möhringen rule, the place came to the Principality of Fürstenberg in the 16th centuryand came to Baden in 1806. First Eßlingen belonged to the Oberamt Möhringen, from 1813 to the Amt Engen, from 1824 again to the Amt Möhringen, from 1844 again to the Amt Engen and from 1849 to the Amt or District Office Donaueschingen, from which the district of Donaueschingen emerged in 1939. When it was incorporated into the city of Tuttlingen on June 1, 1972, the place became part of the Tuttlingen district.
Incorporations
The following communities were incorporated into the city of Tuttlingen:
- June 1, 1972: Esslingen
- January 1, 1973: City of Möhringen and Nendingen
The town of Möhringen and the community of Eßlingen belonged to the Donaueschingen district before they were incorporated .

religion
Tuttlingen initially belonged to the diocese of Constance and was assigned to the archdeaconate “ante nemus” (chapter Meßkirch). As a result of belonging to the Duchy of Württemberg, the Reformation was introduced here, as in the rest of Württemberg, from 1535 onwards by Ambrosius Blarer on behalf of Duke Ulrich . After that, Tuttlingen was a predominantly Protestant city for many centuries. It soon became the seat of a deanery (see Tuttlingen church district ) within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . The main Protestant church is the city church of St. Peter and Paul (also: city church), originally a small chapel that was expanded several times and became a parish church after the Reformation. The previous parish church was Martinskirche, which was located in front of the town by the previous rural settlement of Tuttlingen. It was destroyed in the Battle of Tuttlingen in 1643 and replaced by a small chapel in 1862. The town church burned down in the town fire in 1803 and was then rebuilt. When the community grew rapidly due to the influx of people, the Martinskirche was built in 1958, the Resurrection Church in 1966 and the Reconciliation Church in the Lohmehlen residential area in 1986. Several pastors work at the four churches. Together with the Wurmlingen Church of the Redeemer, the congregations form the Evangelical General Church Congregation of Tuttlingen.
The districts of Tuttlingen remained predominantly Catholic as they belonged to Fürstenberg or to the Johanniterkommende Villingen. But there are also Protestant parishioners there today. In the Eßlingen district, they initially belonged to the parish of Öfingen ( Evangelical regional church in Baden ), but were re-parish in 1977 to the parish of Talheim (Württemberg). The Möhringen Protestants initially belonged to the parish of Immendingen, but there has been its own church since 1952 and now also its own parish. The Protestants from Nendingen belonged to the Mühlheim parish until 2010, and from January 1, 2011 they were integrated into the Tuttlingen town church. In Nendingen there has been its own church "Christ's Crib" since 1970. Since the Eßlinger Protestants were assigned to the parish of Talheim, all Protestant residents in the city of Tuttlingen belong to the Evangelical Church in Württemberg.
In the 19th century, Catholics moved to Tuttlingen again. The Catholic Church of St. Gallus was built from 1868 to 1872, and was made a parish in 1873. After the construction of the Maria Königin church in 1961, a second parish was established there in 1965.
In Nendingen, the local Catholic Church has been maintained by the Johanniterkommende Villingen since 1366. In place of the old church, today's church of St. Peter and St. James was rebuilt in 1755. The tower was not added until 1863. The parishes in Nendingen and the two Tuttlingen Catholic parishes belong to the Tuttlingen-Spaichingen deanery of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
The Catholic communities in Eßlingen and Möhringen, however, belong to the Donaueschingen deanery of the Archdiocese of Freiburg , because both communities belonged to Baden from 1806 . The Eßlinger church of St. Jakob the Elder and Andreas was built in 1494 and enlarged in 1854. The church of St. Andreas Möhringen was built at the end of the 16th century, but there was already a church before. The tower was added in 1934.
In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches in Tuttlingen , including the Methodist Church (Immanuelskirche). The New Apostolic Church and Jehovah's Witnesses are also represented. Especially by younger immigration came Islam to Tuttlingen, so today three Muslim communities, the Merkez Camii the Turkish religious authority , a Bosnian is Muslim community and the Albanian-speaking community with mosque.

Coat of arms and banner
|
|
Blazon : "In the golden, silver bordered shield, three black stag poleslying ontop of each other" |
| Justification for the coat of arms: A lily was depicted in the city's seals since the 18th century . This is a symbol on landmarks. Before that, however, only the stag from the Württemberger were shown. This was placed in a larger shield in the 16th century, which is why you can find a bordered shield today. This seal then established itself as the city's coat of arms. The lily coat of arms was then no longer used. |
The flag is blue and yellow. It is shown with and without a coat of arms.

Numerous corpses from Tuttlingen and the surrounding area were cremated in the city's crematorium , including murdered and perished concentration camp prisoners from the regional concentration camp subcamps. An obelisk commemorates their fate .
In May 2016, the first five Stolpersteine were laid in the pedestrian zone , and 17 more followed in October 2017.
Buildings
The Protestant town church gives the townscape something characteristic. Since the city center burned down completely in 1803, there are no historical buildings. The city church was built with great effort and with many donations and is a ray of light in the otherwise rather simple inner city. Its richly structured Art Nouveau facade is considered one of the most beautiful in southern Germany.
The Catholic parish church of St. Gallus was built by Georg Morlok from 1869 to 1873 and rebuilt from 1937 to 1939. Other churches are the Evangelical Martinskirche (1958), the Evangelical Resurrection Church (1968) and the Evangelical Church of Reconciliation and the Catholic Church of Mary Queen (1961/63).
The late medieval Honberg Castle was destroyed to the ground in the Thirty Years War. The two towers, which are now symbols of the city, could only be rebuilt in the 19th century through donations on the initiative of a support association. The extensive remains of the wall of the fortress are now home to events such as the Honberg summer and offer the best view of the city center. Another castle ruin is the Luginsfeld castle ruin , located in the northeast of the city center on the southwest tip of the Leutenberg.
Tuttlinger Hut describes a roof shape typical for the city. It is a hipped roof variant that is supposed to protect against a city fire. When the city center was redesigned after the city fire in 1803, this special roof shape became the standard for the city center.
In the districts there are old Catholic and two new Protestant churches (see section Religions).

Mechanical engineering and the building trade are also important employers. Until a few years ago, Tuttlingen was also known as the “ shoe city”. The shoe industry settled on the Danube due to numerous tanneries , of which only a few still exist today. The tanning trade in Tuttlingen enjoyed good conditions thanks to the Danube and the widespread cattle farming. Cattle breeding dominated agriculture due to the poorly fertile soil and the cultivation areas that were often flooded in spring.
