history
Until the end of the Middle Ages
Settlement of the area around Vaihingen can be traced back to the early Neolithic . Excavations in recent years have uncovered a large settlement as well as numerous burials of linear ceramics ( ceramics culture ).
Towards the end of the 3rd century AD, the Alamanni invaded the Roman-dominated Neckar basin and founded most of today's towns. Around 500 the area around Vaihingen was Frankish, Christianized and incorporated into the diocese of Speyer . In the order of 750 Karl man made structure in Gaugrafschaften Vaihingen was the Enzgau assigned and developed into the main town this county. Accordingly, the Vaihinger "stand Kirchherr " to the Reformation the country Chapter Vaihingen the archdeaconry Trinity in the diocese of Speyer (see map).
The first documentary mention of Vaihingen could have been made as early as 779 together with Grüningen and Hochdorf an der Enz in a document about a gift from the Franconian Enzgau Count Kunibert to the Fulda monastery . However, it is not clear beyond doubt whether this is to Vaihingen or around the late Middle Ages Outbound Vöhingen in Schwieberdingen acted. The district of Riet was first mentioned in the Lorsch Codex in 812 .
Around 1230, Count Gottfried von Vaihingen (1189–1234) laid out the town of Vaihingen between Vaihingen Castle, already mentioned in 1096 (today's Kaltenstein Castle ) and the village settlement near the Peterskirche. In 1252, Vaihingen was expressly designated as a city in a document. Through his marriage to Agnes, sole heir to the noble Belrein von Eselsberg , Count Konrad II von Vaihingen was able to record territorial gains on the edge of the Stromberg and take over the protective bailiwick of Rechentshofen Monastery , which he made into a family burial place. Eselsberg Castle, included in the legacy , later became the headquarters of the counts.
After the city fire of 1291, the Vaihinger counts sold large parts of their property. The town and castle of Vaihingen came to the Counts of Oettingen via the Margrave of Baden in 1334 and to the Counts of Württemberg in 1339 . Vaihingen became an official city of Württemberg and , in 1758, an upper administrative city .
Early modern age
Under Emperor Charles V , Duke Ulrich von Württemberg was expelled from his country in 1519 . The new lord of the state and thus also of the city was Emperor Karl V, who ceded Württemberg to his brother Ferdinand. With the help of Protestant princes, Duke Ulrich recaptured his land in 1534 and introduced the Reformation . Vaihingen became the seat of a deanery. In the Schmalkaldic War (1546–1547) Vaihingen was occupied by Spanish troops in 1547.
The area between Heilbronner Strasse and Stuttgarter Strasse was destroyed by fire in 1617. A year later, the residential area behind the town hall including the town church fell victim to another fire.
The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) also brought hardship and misery to Vaihingen. Troops of Protestants and Catholics were quartered alternately in Vaihingen. Looting and requisitions brought agriculture and trade to a standstill, and famines arose. In 1635 the plague raged, which further decimated the population. Despite the immigration of expelled Protestants, it took a long time until the pre-war level of around 1500 to 1600 inhabitants was reached again. In the Palatinate War of Succession (1688–1697), Vaihingen was looted by the French in 1692 and burned down almost completely in 1693. Only about 20 houses within the city walls were spared from the flames. From 1697 the town church was rebuilt.
In 1720 the town hall was rebuilt. During the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Coalition Wars ( 1792–1815), troops marched through the city again and again or were billeted. In 1784 a city fire destroyed 30 houses.
19th century
Ten years after the Kingdom of Württemberg was founded in 1806 and one year after the end of the wars of liberation , a famine caused by crop failures and cattle diseases began in the year without summer 1816. Only then did a gradual economic upswing set in. The city became too small. In 1829 a new gate was built in the northeast and a suburb was built in the north. In the aftermath of the revolution of 1848 there was an economic crisis caused by crop failures and inflation . This caused many to emigrate .
In 1853 the Württemberg West Railway Stuttgart - Bruchsal was opened. The nearest train station, "Vaihingen-Sersheim", was three kilometers from the center. In the era of industrialization in particular , the lack of a centrally located rail connection to the Württemberg railway network had a negative impact. There was emigration of companies and the population.
20th century
It was only with the opening of the Vaihinger Stadtbahn in 1904 that Vaihingen was connected to the modern transport network.
During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the Maulbronn and Vaihingen districts were merged to form the Vaihingen district. Vaihingen became the seat of this new district. In July 1944, the Vaihingen concentration camp was established in the lower Glattbach valley . It was formally a satellite camp of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp . Several hundred concentration camp prisoners, mainly Polish Jews from the Radom ghetto, had to do forced labor here under catastrophic conditions . From November 1944 the camp served as a "sick and recovery camp" for the Natzweiler satellite camps on the right bank of the Rhine. In reality it was a death camp with up to 33 deaths a day. The concentration camp cemetery between Vaihingen and Ensingen, on which memorial stones with the numbers 1–1488 are placed, testifies to the dead . The workhouse at Kaltenstein Castle housed up to 600 men who were imprisoned there because of their non-conformist way of life, but also because of criminal and political offenses. A memorial on the outer wall of the castle names 27 Polish, Czechoslovak and German names of victims. On April 8, 1945, the Second World War ended for Vaihingen , and the French marched in.
After the end of the war, Vaihingen came to the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. With the elections to the local council and district council and to the state constituent assembly for Württemberg-Baden in 1946, the establishment of the post-war order began.
On July 25, 1969, two F-104 Starfighter aircraft of the Canadian Air Force collided in a deep flight path . One of the pilots was killed in the crash, the other was able to save himself with the ejection seat. The fuel tank of a machine broke through the roof of a house in Mühlhausen (Mühlacker). During rescue attempts, two helpers were seriously injured by a detonation.
As part of the regional reform of the 1970s, the population of the city of Vaihingen an der Enz exceeded the 20,000 mark. Thereupon, the city administration applied for a major district town , which the Baden-Württemberg state government decided with effect from January 1, 1973. At the same time was under district reform the district Vaihingen dissolved. The eastern part and with it the city of Vaihingen an der Enz came to the district of Ludwigsburg , the western part became part of the new Enz district .
With the opening of the Mannheim – Stuttgart high-speed line , Vaihingen received the new Vaihingen (Enz) station in 1991 .
