Unterriexingen is located on the Glems and has been a district of Markgröningen in the Baden-Württemberg district of Ludwigsburg since 1973 .

geography

geology

Unterriexingen lies on a river terrace of the Enz , which is divided by the Glems and rises to the south and was covered by a layer of loess from the Ice Age . Before that, Enz and Glems cut their way through the rock layers of the Lower Keuper and the Upper Muschelkalk over the course of millions of years . For example, river gravel from the Enz can still be found on the Muckenschupfs plateau southwest of the village .

Location and network of paths

The place is located on the northern edge of the Strohgau around four kilometers north of Markgröningen. The Glems and a Mühlgraben flow through Unterriexingen, which at times divided the community into two domains and come together at the Bachmühle and in front of the lower Glemsbrücke. The Glems flows into the Enz about 400 meters below the village . To the left of the Glems estuary there used to be a ford through the Enz. With dry feet, you could get to the steep vineyards of the village on the opposite Enzhang over a footbridge at today's Enzbrücke and directly to Großsachsenheim. To the right of the Enz a path ran over the Remminger Schlössle to Tamm . A path to Grüningen ran west of today's country road . Through the Glemstal one came to the deserted Guckenhäuser and Talhausen . To the west of the village, the roads forked to Pulverdingen and Oberriexingen or Enzweihingen.

Unterriexingen also includes buildings on the Hohberg, the Frauenkirche on the height southwest of the village and Aussiedlerhöfe in the west.

Neighboring places

The settlements Großsachsenheim , Untermberg , Markgröningen , Talhausen , Aichholzhof , Pulverdingen , Enzweihingen , Leinfelder Hof and Oberriexingen are around Unterriexingen (clockwise from the north).

Desolation

In the West, under Riexinger denunciation was probably in the 17th century by a dialed in place Burg Dauseck expanded. It is not known when the Guckenhäuser settlement in the Glemstal south of the Hohberg was abandoned. In the 16th century, the settlement of Remmingen east of Unterriexingen was given up in favor of Untermberg. It is possible that there was once a settlement near the Frauenkirche, but so far no information is available.

history

The plateaus around Unterriexingen were already settled in the Neolithic Age. Several burial mounds date from Celtic times. During construction work, a grave with gifts from the Merovingian era was found in Weberstrasse .

The name "Ruotgisina" appears for the first time in 793 in an inventory of the former Lorsch monastery . At this time there is no distinction between Unter- and Oberriexingen . This is first documented for the year 1342, in which the name "Nidern Ruexingen" is mentioned. In the original feud letter from 1396, the place was then called "Undern Rüxingen". Here the first known non-aristocratic residents of Unterriexingen are listed as subjects of Württemberg: "Barnhort Kratzenbuch, Schulthais zu these zitten, Haintz Schnider, Harman Engel, Haintz Metzensun, Hantz Melwer, Cuntz Kuof, Burklin Humelin, Auberlin Hamburg, Cunrat Seman, Bentz Klotz, he is called Schraden, and Hans Emhart von Grüningen ”.

Power relations

Around 1100, the once noble lords of Riexingen appear in the register of the monasteries in Hirsau and Reichenbach . From 1396 at the latest, when the twelve Württemberg residents of “Undern Rixingen”, together with the renegade Grüninger citizens, had to swear eternal loyalty to the Württemberg counts by original feud letter, the local nobility shared the place with the House of Württemberg .

In 1447 Seifried Osterbronn von Riexingen sold his remaining property and the part in Unterriexingen that could be leaned from Württemberg to the related Schwarzfritz von Sachsenheim and settled at Bromberg Castle. Currently, the gentlemen from Riexingen are saying goodbye to their headquarters bit by bit. The last male representative of this sex was Georg II von Riexingen, who died in 1560. They were followed by the Lords of Sachsenheim, Jakob Christoph Schenk von Winterstetten , his sister Anna von Remchingen and finally their daughter Margaretha von Gemmingen , who bequeathed their district to the Lords of Sternenfels . Martin von Sachsenheim sold the Württemberg fiefdom in 1493 to Ludwig von Nippenburg . Subsequently, the lords of Lützelburg were enfeoffed with it until 1682 . From then on, more than half of the village was directly in Württemberg hands. The castle and 7/32 of the village sold the Sternenfelser in 1687 to the Lords of Sperberseck , whose share came in 1717 through marriage to the Barons Leutrum zu Ertingen . In 1763 Ludwig Christoph Leutrum zu Ertingen sold his share of the place to Johann Friedrich Erasmus von Hopfer, who had owned the Pöllnitzschen Schlösschen since 1762 (demolished in 1969). In 1815, Hopfer's property came back to the Leutrum von Ertingen family through marriage. After twenty years of vacancy, the family of Countess Irmela Leutrum zu Ertingen and Prince Alexander von Ratibor and Corvey live in the castle, which was renovated in the 1970s.

Arch bridge over the Glems

The inhabitants were either subject to local rule or subject to Württemberg, at times depending on the location of their house on the left or right of the Glems as a natural border. The Württemberg residents were mostly assigned to the Grüningen Office (from 1758 Oberamt) and, after its dissolution, from 1806 to 1938 to the Oberamt Vaihingen . With the rise of Württemberg to a kingdom from 1806 until the end of the First World War, the family of the local aristocracy was also subject to the king by Napoleon's grace.

Until the Reformation , the Frauenkirche and the village church belonged to the Vaihingen rural chapter in the Archdiaconate of Trinity of the Diocese of Speyer .

Contemporary history

During the Nazi era, several bunkers and tunnels were built on the right edge of the slope towards the Enz in the course of the Neckar-Enz position . On the Unterriexingen markings, some remains of these structures, which were built in 1936/37 and were mostly blown up after the war, are still visible. Under the code name "Gallinit", a tunnel system was driven into the slope on the left side of the Enz during the war. They should serve for the underground, bomb-proof production of armaments.

From October 1944 to May 1945 there was a subcommand of the Wiesengrund concentration camp in Vaihingen an der Enz in Unterriexingen , which in turn was a satellite camp of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp . The prisoners were mainly used to build airfields, tunnels, in the quarry and to clean up after air raids in the area. Inadequate nutrition, hard labor and, in some cases, the arbitrariness of the guards, 250 out of 500 prisoners died. The concentration camp cemetery above the road towards Oberriexingen is a reminder of them.

During the Second World War , the community lost 70 residents who died in combat or in captivity. There were no civilian casualties.

As a result of the expulsion from their homeland , numerous Catholics came to the village, which led to the construction of the Catholic church in the Nonnenpfad and the erection of the Ostlandkreuz above the Frauenkirche. In 1960 a New Apostolic Church was also consecrated.

On January 1, 1973 Unterriexingen was incorporated into Markgröningen.

On July 25, 1980, the RAF terrorists Juliane Plambeck and Wolfgang Beer were killed in a collision with a gravel transporter on the road to Untermberg (K 1684).

politics

The merger with the neighboring dwarf town of Oberriexingen , which was proposed in the course of the community reform and which is obvious because of the name , was rejected by its citizens. The Unterriexinger felt more closely connected to Markgröningen anyway and, with 87.3 percent of the votes cast, they were in favor of incorporation into Markgröningen, which took place on January 1, 1973. Unterriexingen brought in 1889 inhabitants and 729 hectares of land on the reporting date.

The false choice of part of the town was supposed to guarantee that the inhabitants of Unterriexingen would in future be adequately represented in the Markgröningen municipal council. The mayor Heinz Keck, who was in office until 1972, became first alderman in Markgröningen until he retired. After that, this post was no longer filled. Lately the abolition of the false choice of part of town has been discussed.

coat of arms

The blazon of the Unterriexinger coat of arms changed in 1936 reads: A black eagle catch in gold.

Until then, the coat of arms showed the foot of a swimming bird in different variants, which can still be found on old boundary stones along the former boundary (see illustration). The seal of the community also bore a waterfowl's foot, a leg of a goose. During the Nazi regime, the eagle-horned "cuckoo's mallet" was created, which the municipality had in its coat of arms until 1972.

The approx. 100 km long Enztal cycle path touches the village in the north of Oberriexingen and continues to Untermberg . In 2013, two bridges over the Enz were built for 1.36 million euros and the previous route along a heavily trafficked road that is poorly suited for cycling was disarmed, creating “the most expensive cycle path in the district”.
