history

Voehringen

The Vöhringer mark is an ancient settlement area; proven to the Neolithic. After the Romans were driven out, the Alemanni took the land (indicated by the place name ending "ingen"). Vöhringen was first mentioned in 772 in a deed of donation from the Lorsch Codex . The dukes of Teck were the lords of the village . 1306 came the place to the county of Württemberg . Vöhringen belonged to the Oberamt Rosenfeld in the Duchy of Württemberg . At the beginning of the 19th century there were major territorial changes as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . The associated upheavals were also the reason for a new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg, founded in 1806 . The Oberamt Rosenfeld was dissolved in 1808 and Vöhringen was assigned to the Oberamt Sulz . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Vöhringen came to the district of Horb in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the French occupation zone and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. Through the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , Vöhringen came to the Rottweil district in 1973 .

The Vöhringer people have long been called Broatschuah (wide shoes ). According to a legend, an old Vöhringer trampled on a brood hen and its seven chicks .

Incorporations

On May 1, 1972, the previously independent community of Wittershausen was incorporated into Vöhringen. This had previously also belonged to the district of Horb and was first mentioned in a document in 1139 .

Religions

The place has been evangelical since then . Baptismal records have existed since 1584. The parishes in both suburbs belong to the Sulz am Neckar parish of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . The few remaining adherents of the papacy are parish in the Roman Catholic community in Sulz am Neckar . The New Apostolic Church, on the other hand, has congregations in both suburbs.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided from silver to red by a lace cut, the red field is covered with a fallen, silver ploughshare." The coat of arms and flag were awarded by the Ministry of the Interior on August 13, 1975.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms originally used but not officially awarded showed a fallen iron-colored (blue) ploughshare in silver. The ploughshare probably goes back to a seal image from the early 19th century and appeared in the coat of arms in the mayor's office seals until the 1930s. In 1955, the municipality tried to have the coat of arms and flag officially awarded. On this occasion, the coat of arms was expanded to include the so-called Sulzer points in order to distinguish it from other ploughshare coats of arms. The Counts of Sulz are the oldest known local lords of Vöhringen. In 1095 they transferred their local property to the Alpirsbach monastery .

In addition, a large is truck stop with Flippothek in the industrial area "Ziegelhütte" at the highway exit.
