geography

location

Villingendorf is located on the eastern edge of the central Black Forest between 501 and 718 meters above the upper Neckar valley about four kilometers north of the district town of Rottweil .

Neighboring communities

The community borders in the west on Dunningen , in the north on the Rottweiler exclave Hochwald and Bösingen , in the east on Epfendorf and Dietingen and in the south on Rottweil and Zimmer ob Rottweil .

Community structure

The village of Villingendorf and the homestead Tannwald belong to the municipality of Villingendorf.

history

The village goes back to an Alemannic foundation from the beginning of the 5th century. This is proven by the excavations of the Alemannic cemetery in Gewann Teichwiesen in 1996. The oldest finds date from around 425. The most prominent finds from this excavation were an equestrian grave and a grave that contained a gold-handled spathe . So far, only a little more than 20 gold handle spaths have been found in the Swabian-Alemannic region. The ownership history of Villingendorf is extremely complicated, as is that of most of the villages in the vicinity. There must be a distinction between political supremacy, manorial rule, tithe rights and patronage rights, i.e. H. the right to appoint the pastor to be distinguished. These property titles were certainly much more concentrated in the early days than they were at the end of the Middle Ages. In early history, it was difficult to distinguish between political supremacy and tithe rights, also due to the documents.

Political supremacy

Probably as early as the 8th or 9th century, part of the village came to the St. Gallen Monastery , another part to Gengenbach Monastery . The possession of the St. Gallen Monastery in Villingendorf is difficult to record in a document. In 793 the Alemannic Count Berthold donated an extensive property, including the nearby Neckarburg , to the St. Gallen monastery and received this property back from the monastery for annual interest. Villingendorf is not mentioned in this document, but at that time it should have belonged to the rule of the nearby Neckarburg. The St. Gallus patronage of the village church and a special tithing share, the so-called "Portzehnt", which went to the gatekeeper of the St. Gallen monastery, however, prove ownership of this monastery in Villingendorf. The "Portzehnt" was awarded in 1278 by the St. Gallen Monastery to the citizens of Rottweiler Konrad, Trutwin and Ulrich die Blez for two Konstanzer Schillings annual interest. As a result, this tenth share was passed on and further divided. The "Portzehnt" is also known from Dietingen, east of the Neckar, which should therefore also have belonged to the Neckarburg property complex.

Since 1315 Reinher I v. Rüti in possession of the nearby Neckarburg and therefore probably also in possession (of parts?) Of Villingendorf. The lower nobility family v. Rüti is mentioned in a document for the first time in 1251. It came from the lost village of Reutin near Oberndorf and carried the three stars in the coat of arms, which are now also part of the Villingen village coat of arms. Reinher I was the local lord of Villingendorf, and he owned at least one large farm, the Ruprechtshof. Since his grandson Albrecht pledged Villingendorf and the Ruprechtshof to Wernher von Zimmer without the consent of the Count von Sulz, these title titles cannot be fiefs, but must have been allod (personal property). Between 1315 and 1352 the Neckarburg dominion was then divided among the sons of Reinher (I), Reinher (II) and Peter (I). The Reinher (II) line owned the front castle, while Peter (I) got the rear castle. Villingendorf, two courtyards in Neckarburg, the church in Dietingen and half of the Hohenstein stables and half of the village of Irslingen belonged to the rule of the front castle. This property then came into the possession of Albrecht v. Rüti, Reinher's son (II), who was apparently in chronic financial difficulties. In 1350 he had to give the Ruprechtshof in Villingendorf to Burk v. Kirneck pledged, then in 1353 the village of Villingendorf and the Ruprechtshof to Count Wernher von Zimmer. As a result, Albrecht v. Rüti to the feudal man of Wernher von Zimmer. Until 1451 the lords of Zimmer had come into the (shared?) Possession of Villingendorf.

In the first documentary mention of Villingendorf in a document from the Gengenbach monastery from 1139, the monastery had property in Villingendorf that was not further specified. In 1140 when a property in Niedereschach including the parish church there was donated to the Gengenbach monastery, 40 noble free people from the surrounding area witnessed this transfer of ownership. Among these, Leo and Wernher von Villingen (dorf) are also mentioned as officials from Gengenbach. Due to the location of the documents and the land ownership (which was only proven later with certainty), it can be considered certain that parts of Villingendorf, together with Beffendorf, Irslingen and Niedereschach, belonged to an inventory of the Gengenbach monastery. To this property belonged a so-called "Curie", an administrative courtyard (later usually called Fronhof) as well as the village bailiwick and probably other goods. In 1393, Konrad Bock (I), citizen of Rottweil, pledged the goods he had bought from Junker Egenolf von Wartemberg, known as von Wildenstein, including Vogtrecht zu Villingendorf, which were a fief of the Gengenbach monastery, against 40 marks of silver Rottweiler weight to his son Johann Bock but the redemption before. In 1428 Konrad Bock (II) was enfeoffed with the property of his deceased brother Johannes Bock, who had become a knight. These included fiefs of the Gengenbach monastery and the Vogtrecht that were not carried out further.

In 1447 Konrad Bock (III), the son of the above-mentioned Konrad Bock (II), sold the Vogtrechtszinsen as well as interest from various smaller estates, which he had previously held as a Gengenbacher fief, back to Abbot Egenolf and the convent of the Gengenbach Monastery.

From the years 1498 and 1528 there are two land records (descriptions of goods or possessions) of the Gengenbach estates. The land register of 1528 also describes the rights that the monastery in Villingendorf had, u. a. the court, which was held 3 times a year. Presumably this court was in the Fronwiesen on the Käppelebühl, which was still of special importance in 1528. The property complex of the Gengenbach monastery with farmsteads, gardens and meadows was probably closed in the northern part of the town hall on both sides of the "Stettener Weg", today Teuffenstraße and Schellenwasen. It was not until 1536 that the Gengenbach monastery sold this property to the hospital in Rottweil, which with this purchase rose to become the largest landlord in Villingendorf. The bailiff and court rights seem to have passed to the city of Rottweil.

In 1513, the Lords of Zimmer had already sold their part of Villingendorf to the Free Imperial City of Rottweil, so that the nearby Imperial City now had the sole say (Vogt rights, court rights, taxes, compulsory military service for farmers). Villingendorf remained in the political possession of Rottweil until Rottweil was incorporated into Württemberg.

Tithe history and patronage

The tithe was originally imposed on every Christian to pay the pastor and to support the church. It consisted of the major and minor tithe and the blood tithe. Later this levy also came into the possession of laypeople (see “Portzehnt” above) and other institutions. In Villingendorf, the "Portzehnt" came to various owners through inheritance distribution and sale. At least one sixth of some shares can be documented. One of these tithe shares came into the joint possession of the Rottweiler Brotherhood, Heiligkreuz, the Dominicans and the Johanniter around 1400.

Already in 1360 the Johanniter had already acquired the large and small tithe of this court with the purchase of the Ruprechtshof from Albrecht von Rüti. After that, the Johanniter gradually acquired almost the entire Villendorfer tithe. In 1789, however, a small tithe share is explicitly mentioned, which was linked to the ownership of the Neckarburg ("Neckarburger tithe") and for which the Johanniter had to make a small compensation payment. For this, the Johanniter had the patronage (= right to propose the pastor) and the duty to pay the respective pastor. However, it must be said that, especially in the 17th century, there was no pastor in Villingendorf at all, but rather Rottweiler religious priests very often take care of the community.

Manorial rule

The manor in Villingendorf is also very complex. In the 18th century there were eleven large farms in Villingendorf. Ten farms were feudal farms and only one farm was an own farm . A feudal farm (= borrowed farm) was not owned by the respective feudal farmer, but by a landlord. He got the farm in return for an annual, non-profit-related fixed fee, mostly in the form of money, grain and small cattle (chickens and eggs). In total there were 22 fiefdoms (or 23 if the Heiligenfelder should have arisen from an original fiefdom) that were cultivated by the 10 fiefdoms. This means that most of the feudal farmers not only had one fiefdom, but could combine several.

The feudal system originally goes back to the Germanic allegiance system. The warlord rewarded his followers with land holdings and dependent peasants who cultivated this land. Typically, this land was given out as a man's fief; H. the fiefdom fell back to the liege lord after the death of the fiefdom. In the same way, farm estates were often given to farmers as fiefs. Already in the early modern period, however, the feudal courtyards had passed into inheritance, i.e. H. the landlord usually did not intervene in the feudal succession and the farms were usually passed on or sold to the son or a son-in-law. Even the sale to a stranger from the family was possible under the right of inheritance. The dismissal of a farmer from the feudal relationship was theoretically possible, but in practice it was riddled with such obstacles that there is no known case of such a "Abmeierung" from the surrounding area. The "Abmeierung" of a farmer could only be enforced in a so-called "caduzity process" before an ordinary court. The landlord had to prove very gross misconduct on the part of his feudal farmer. Failure to pay interest, for example with poor harvests, and even mismanagement did not count as such reasons. In fact, the opposite was the case, because in the 17th and 18th centuries, peasant property rights increasingly approached “interest-bearing full property”. This even led to z. In 1696, for example, the hospital in Rottweil, as the landlord, bought back its own fiefdom of 200 J for the relatively high amount of 2,450  fl and from then on operated the property as a third farm, the higher yield (compared to the fiefdom) apparently justifying the high purchase price. Since the basic interest to be paid could no longer be arbitrarily changed since the 16th or 17th century and remained stable, the inheritance was a valuable possession. As the cultivation methods improved and the population increased, so did the value of hereditary bonds. They were sometimes sold and bought at very high prices even though the farmers, legally speaking, did not own the land. However, the farmers had to look after the upkeep of the farms themselves. With the consent of the landlord, individual parcels of the fief could even be sold; with constant taxes, of course. There were “good” fiefdoms with relatively low loads per manure and less good fiefdoms with high loads on the plots.

A variant of the inheritance was the fall fief. It was subject to the inheritance right, but in the case of change (death of the liege holder or sale) the "court case" or "removal" had to be paid. The only previously proven case fief in Villingendorf was the Alpirsbacher fief. The amount of 50 guilders that had to be paid in the event of a change was comparatively very high.

Especially at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th century, the landlords tried to get away from the "loan economy" and take the farms under their own management. In 1696 two farmers from Villingendorf had to sell their farms to Rottweiler institutions (hospital and presence) because of excessive indebtedness. Another farm came into the possession of a Rottweiler citizen around 1760. These farms were converted into so-called "existing farms" or, as a special form, the "third farms" and usually leased to a farmer for 4 to 10 years, either for a high fixed amount or, which also happened and as the name third farm implies, by submitting a third of the income. But now the owner and not the lessee was responsible for the maintenance of the farm. In order to avoid a conflict of interest, day laborers with very little ownership or even strangers were often brought to these farms ("assigned in inventory"). The existing farmers were no longer protected by inheritance law and could be dismissed at any time after their lease had expired. The relationship between the landlord and the existing farmer was precisely regulated by the existing contracts and arbitrary acts were almost impossible here as well.

There was also little fluctuation in the succession of tenant or existing farmers (e.g. the Spital-Third Courtyard). As a rule, the existing contracts were concluded over and over again with the same farmer (if he had done well), and after the death of the existing farmer, new leases were usually concluded with the son or son-in-law. The leases had a high economic value, and such a lease or existing contract was often enough as security when taking out a loan.

In Villingendorf, the feudal estates were sold in whole to a younger son or son-in-law until well into the 18th century. The proceeds from the sale were divided among the children of the feudal farmer. The feudal peasant couple reserved a personal property (usually a few fields or benefits in kind and free accommodation on the feudal farm). It was not until 1760 that two large Villingendorf feudal farms were divided. In other communities in the immediate vicinity with real division, however, the fiefs were often completely split up.

The farms and the fiefs

Altogether 22 fiefdoms could be proven in Villingendorf in the period from 1549 to around 1836 or 23 if the "Heiligenfelder" of the St. Gallus benefice are interpreted as the original fiefdom. To distinguish them, they were named after landlord and size or age. As already mentioned above, most of the feudal farmers were able to unite not just one fief, but several. In Villingendorf there are only 10 feudal farmers who divided the 22 or 23 fiefs among themselves. In addition, there was a large personal property that was passed on in whole. Each of these 11 farmers cultivated an average of 127 years (or just over 37 ha), gardens, fields, meadows and forests. The history of the fiefdom is extremely complicated as it was not tied to a specific court, i. H. the farm from which the fiefdom was managed could change over time. A courtyard building belonged to some fiefdoms in the 16th century, which is no longer verifiable in the middle of the 17th century (and later). The feudal lords or landlords of a fief also changed frequently. The location of most of the courtyards could be reconstructed with relative certainty by the middle of the 16th century.

The fiefdom of the Rottweiler hospital

In 1786 the Rottweiler Spital was the largest landowner in Villingendorf. The real estate comprised almost 500 J, originally divided into 5 fiefdoms, of which one fiefdom had fallen to the Rottweiler Presence Administration and was still managed. A fiefdom had been bought by the hospital and was managed as a third farm. In 1792, with the acquisition of the Alpirsbach fiefdoms (2 of which were originally owned by the Wittichen monastery), the hospital owned 3 more fiefdoms with a total size of 170 years. These, however, are among the original landowners; the Alpirsbach Monastery and the Wittichen Monastery.

The income-independent basic charges of the hospital in Villingendorf in 1786 amounted to 23 mtr 14 vrt veins, 6 mtr 11 vrt oats, 1 chicken, 12 shillings, 4 kreuzers. The additional income-related fees of the Spitaldrittelhof cannot be quantified as a lump sum.

While four of the five hospital fiefdoms from 1786 did not come into the possession of the hospital until 1536, the original so-called “old hospital fiefdom” has been in the hospital's possession since 1310. In 1786 the fiefdom comprised a total of approx. 89 years. In 1786, no farmstead belonged to this fiefdom. Only a garden is described that had Hofstatt rights and was located on the site of today's town hall. In 1549, however, a farmstead is mentioned at this point. When this building was destroyed or demolished and then not rebuilt could no longer be reconstructed from the existing documents. The old hospital fiefdom was united with the brotherhood fiefdom in one hand and was later divided. The latter fiefdom included a farmstead in the northeastern part of the Jockenwiesen (today's estate Gasthaus Krone, Rottweiler Str. 2).

The history of this fief can be traced back to 1310, when Konrad von Balingen ("Cunrat von Balgingen") donated half an estate to the "poor people in poor Spittal ze Rotwil". The other half belonged to Benzen Bäsgen and later came into the joint ownership of the St. Gallus benefice in Villingendorf, the Presence and the Petrus and Paulus benefice in Heiligkreuz in Rottweil. So it arose from the division of an originally larger property.

The Gengenbach Monastery

The remaining four fiefdoms of the hospital belonged to the original property of the Gengenbach monastery. In the first documentary mention of Villingendorf in a Gengenbach document dated February 28, 1139, the monastery had unspecified goods in Villingendorf confirmed by Pope Innocent. It can be regarded as certain that Villingendorf, together with Beffendorf, Irslingen and Niedereschach, was part of the equipment of the Gengenbach Monastery. The heart of the Gegenbach property was the Fronhof, which was originally divided into two halves. From it the later Spital-Third Courtyard emerged, which was the largest courtyard in Villingendorf. The three remaining fiefdoms remained fiefdoms. However, one came into the possession of the Presence (see below) who let the fiefdom be managed as a presence farm together with a fiefdom of the St. Gallus benefice. Presumably they originated z. Sometimes by merging smaller goods. The first reasonably reliable evidence of the three fiefdoms comes in a document from 1460. In 1536 the monastery sold its property to the hospital in Rottweil (see above).

The precedence

The presence was the community of chaplains from Heiligkreuz in Rottweil. In 1786 the Presence Administration had a courtyard in Villingendorf, the Presence Court, which was allocated in the inventory. The presence yard consisted of two fiefdoms, one of the hospital and a joint fiefdom of the St. Gallus benefice in Villingendorf, the presence administration itself and the apostles Peter and Paulus benefices in Rottweiler Minster. The two fiefdoms had been in one hand (at least) since 1549 and came to the Presence Administration in Rottweil in 1696.

Church Pfründe St. Gallus in Villingendorf

The church pledge St. Gallus in Villingendorf owned a total of 4 feudal estates in 1786 and a number of so-called "Heiligenfelder" in the district. A fiefdom was sold in 1696 together with a hospital fiefdom to the Presence Administration in Rottweil, which then had it managed. All fiefdoms are very poorly documented. Ownership of the St. Gallus Church Pfründe can already be proven in the years 1321 and 1324.

The Johanniter-Coming in Rottweil

In 1786, the Johanniter-Kommende in Rottweil had the large fruit tithe, the hay, small and blood tithe in Villingendorf, as well as the Jus Patronatus, i.e. the right to propose the pastor. The Johanniter also owned two inheritances and the Widum, the parish property. Ownership of the Johanniter can already be proven at the beginning of the 15th century. The second inheritance was acquired between 1528 and 1549.

Alpirsbach Monastery

The Württemberg monastery maintenance office in Rottweil, as the legal successor to the Benedictine monastery Alpirsbach in the Black Forest, owned a total of 3 fiefdoms in Villingendorf in 1786, of which two smaller ones originally paid for the Wittichen monastery in the Black Forest (see there). The former fiefdom has been documented since the beginning of the 14th century. owned by the Alpirsbach monastery. Although it is not mentioned among the furnishings of the monastery when it was founded in 1088, it should not have come into its possession much later. It was inherited, but a special feature here is that the change case or the "removal" (exchange, inheritance or sale) cost 50 guilders, a relatively very high amount.

Wittichen Monastery

In 1549 the Clarissini monastery in Wittichen in the Black Forest owned two smaller hereditary holdings in Villingendorf. These two fiefs passed into the possession of the Alpirsbach monastery before 1738. According to the short chronicle of the Wittichen monastery, most of the monastery burned down in 1663. In 1683 the two fiefs were sold to the Alpirsbach monastery in order to get money for the reconstruction of the monastery. When the fiefs came into the possession of the nuns could not be reconstructed.

Rottweiler brotherhood

The Rottweiler Brotherhood, a charitable association, owned a larger fiefdom in Villingendorf in 1786, which has been documented since 1495. The feudal house stood on the site of today's Gasthaus zur Krone.

The Dominican monastery in Rottweil

In 1786 the Rottweiler Dominicans had two fiefdoms in Villingendorf, one of which came into their possession as early as 1420 and the other not much later. The two fiefdoms are therefore referred to as the elder and the younger Dominican fiefdom. After the occupation of Rottweiler by Württemberg troops in 1802, the Rottweiler Dominicans were informed of the abolition of their monastery on December 29, 1802. The preacher's church was closed and the monks vacated the monastery by January 2, 1803.

The Rottenmünster Imperial Abbey

In 1738 the Rottenmünster convent owned two fiefdoms in Villingendorf, which were sold to the respective fiefdoms in 1767. Another fiefdom came from the St. Georgen monastery to the Rottenmünster monastery in 1739, the fiefdom of St. Michael / Neckarburg (see there). Of the two original fiefdoms, one had been in the Rottenmünster monastery since 1327, while the other fiefdom only came into its possession after 1500.

The Apostle Jacobus benefice to Heiligkreuz in Rottweil

In 1352 Mechthild die Steinin provided the Apostle Jakobus benefice to Heiligkreuz in Rottweil with some goods in Villingendorf, presumably the later inheritance of these altar benefices. This benefice is related to a St. James pilgrimage route that led from Balingen via Rottweil to Switzerland (and from there via France and Spain to Santiago de Compostela / Galicia).

St. Michael / Neckarburg

A very old fiefdom is the fiefdom of St. Michaelspfründe zu Neckarburg, which is documented as early as 1460. In addition, the tenth of a strip of fields, a total of about 10 J, went to St. Michaelspfründe in Neckarburg. Apparently the benefice was linked to the ownership of the Neckarburg, because with the sale of the Neckarburg by the Counts of Sulz in the first half of the 16th century, the benefice initially went to the Rottweiler Möck family and, after a brief change of ownership, to the St. Georgen monastery in the Black Forest. In 1739 it was sold to the Rottenmünster monastery, which then sold the fiefdom to the then feudal farmers as their own.

Zoppen's own property

In addition to the many feudal estates, only one larger property was found in Villingendorf over the centuries , which is referred to as "Zoppen" property after the first owner Hans Zopp (another descendant was called Hans Zopp). In 1786 it had a size of approx. 108 J and was managed by Johannes Schanz. The farm was located at today's Oberndorfer Straße 5. The house there was probably built after the Thirty Years War and is therefore one of the oldest houses in Villingendorf.

Population development

Villingendorf's population was characterized by growth for a long time, but since 2011 there has been a population decline from 3255 on May 9, 2011 to 3221 in the 3rd quarter of 2012 and further to 3203 at the end of 2012. Since 2018, an increase has been observed again.

According to the Baden-Württemberg State Statistical Office, 300 foreigners lived in Villingendorf in 2019 (3rd quarter), which corresponds to 8.8% of the total population.

Attractions

St. Gallus - The weeping women on the way to the tomb of Christ (Heiliggrabretabel)

St. Gallus - panel of the Marien or women's altar of the former Johanniterkirche Rottweil (around 1510)

The Church of St. Gallus contains parts of the Marian altar and the Holy Grave Table of the Johanniterkirche Rottweil, which was demolished in 1826. Commander Leonhard Gyß (1512–1538) probably had the late Gothic altar and the holy grave - according to Hecht - made in the workshop of Hans Wydyz . Before the restoration by the Diocese of Rottenburg, the Commander-in-Chief was marked on both works as the donor with a St. John's Cross, which was attached to the chest level of his coat - split like a swallow. In Villingendorf only the central relief of the Entombment of Christ has been preserved. The linden wood figure of John the Baptist, patron of the order and church patron of the Knights of St. John, like the depiction of Joseph of Arimathäa, belonged to the wing of the Holy Grave Table and is exhibited in the Dursch Collection in the Dominican Museum in Rottweil . Kneeling at the feet of St. John, the founder is still depicted today with a cross. You can also see predelle busts from the Marian altar in the Dominican Museum . The church was badly damaged during the siege of Rottweil by Guébriant in 1643. In 1760 it was renovated and the late Gothic depiction of the Holy Sepulcher was given a new version ( pike ). The Church of the Holy Sepulcher - as part of the Johanniterkommende Rottweil - was closed in 1810 by royal order.

The panel of the Marian altar on the left shows scenes from the childhood of Jesus (birth of Jesus, adoration of the three kings (epiphany), circumcision of Jesus) and the lamentation of Mary.
