history

Untertürkheim 1685, forest inventory book by Andreas Kieser

Untertürkheim was first mentioned in 1121 as Durinkheim . The name probably goes back to an Alemannic chief in the 4th century. The place * Duringoheim was named after this. The name in today's dialect is (Onder-) Dürkna .

In the High Middle Ages, Untertürkheim belonged to the Duchy of Swabia and, after its dissolution, became a core component of Old Wuerttemberg . Due to its location on the river, the Neckar rafting company used to be an important source of income. Next to it was and is the wine due to the exposure of the Neckar valley slopes in Untertürkheim important. Numerous wine-growing businesses (some with broom taverns ) and two cooperative wine producers are located in Untertürkheim ( Untertürkheim Wine Manufactory ) and in Rotenberg.

In 1449, Untertürkheim was devastated by troops from the imperial city of Esslingen . In the Thirty Years' War, after the devastating defeat for the Heilbronn Bund in the Battle of Nördlingen , when the Duchy of Württemberg was defenselessly surrendered to the Imperial Army from 1634 , 240 buildings in Untertürkheim were burned down.

During the administrative reform of the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century, Untertürkheim remained assigned to the Cannstatt Oberamt and thus belonged to the Neckar District from 1818 . On October 22, 1845, the first Württemberg railway ran on the section of the Zentralbahn from Cannstatt to Untertürkheim.

The scheduled tram operation and thus the connection to the Stuttgart tram network took place on November 26, 1910 with line 15 from Schlossplatz via Wangen to the Untertürkheim Neckar Bridge.

In 1898 the cocoa and chocolate factory Staengel & Ziller, founded by Ernst Staengel in Stuttgart in 1857 - the name " Eszet " arose from the initials - moved to Untertürkheim. The famous Eszet wafers were produced here from 1933 . They have been manufactured by the Cologne-based Stollwerck Group since 1975 , Staengel & Ziller no longer exists.

Thanks to the negotiating skills of the mayor Eduard Fiechtner from Untertürkheim and Gottlieb Daimler , a purchase agreement was concluded with the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in 1900 . As early as 1903, the automobile factory set up shop in Untertürkheim, as its engine factory in the neighboring city of Cannstatt had burned down, making it the second production facility of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. The headquarters of Daimler AG have been here again since April 2006 .

In 1902 the United Seifenfabriken Stuttgart acquired Wasengelände near the Untertürkheim train station and had the architect Philipp Jakob Manz build large buildings for the soap boilers. Until 1933 the “Feurio” soap was produced in Untertürkheim, among others. The buildings were then sold to Daimler-Benz .

The company Eugen Bauer GmbH , known as "Kino-Bauer" , once the world's largest manufacturer of amateur and cinema film projectors, founded in 1907 by Eugen Bauer in Stuttgart, has been producing since 1928 in Untertürkheim opposite the train station. In 1932, Bauer was taken over by Robert Bosch GmbH (“Bosch Photo Cinema”), and in the early 1980s the production of film projectors was also discontinued, and in 1992 the photo cinema product area was completely dissolved.

The company Fahrzeugbau Hurst of Arthur Friedrich Hurst from Stuttgart began in 1946 with the production of "Hurst 250" automobiles . Production began in Untertürkheim in the summer of 1949. At the beginning of 1950 vehicle production was stopped after 47 copies.

On March 31, 1958, the port of Stuttgart was opened by Federal President Theodor Heuss . The northeastern part of the Neckar port (oil port) belongs to Untertürkheim.

Incorporation to Stuttgart

The Weingärtnerort was incorporated into Stuttgart on April 1, 1905 together with Cannstatt and Wangen .

When the city of Stuttgart was divided into districts in 1956, the Untertürkheim district was combined with the Luginsland district and the Rotenberg district, which was incorporated on May 1, 1931, to form the new Untertürkheim district .

When the Stuttgart districts were restructured on January 1, 2001, the Untertürkheim district was divided into the Benzviertel , Bruckwiesen , Flohberg , Gehrenwald , Lindenschulviertel and Untertürkheim districts. Since then, the town hall in Untertürkheim has managed a total of eight districts in the Untertürkheim district.
