geography

Geographical location

Vilsingen is located around three kilometers southwest of the center of Inzigkofen. The municipal area covers around 1196 hectares (as of December 31, 2010).

geology

At Vilsingen, the Ice Age glacier built a transition cone from which sands were sedimented in a reservoir (delta stratification in the Vilsingen gravel pit hanging alpine sands from Dietfurt). The crack - terminal moraine extends from southwest to northeast of Engelswies over Vilsingen to Sigmaringen . The Urdonau had an older course via Vilsingen and Pault .

Districts

The 1.6 kilometers north of Dietfurt and the desert of Puttenweiler belong to Vilsingen.

history

Prehistory and early history

The Vilsinger district was probably a Celtic settlement area. One (or more) burial mounds opened in 1880 in the “Vilsinger Forest” suggest this. The important find of half a wagon wheel with a conical wheel hub fitting and horse harness points to the remains of an Iron Age wagon grave , which is interpreted as a princely grave . A Hallstatt burial mound (HaD1) with bronze vessels was excavated in the "Eichwiesäcker" area. A so-called " Rhodian- Milesian", probably Etrustcan clover leaf jug made of bronze, which a farmer had excavated, indicates trade relations. The heavily supplemented oinochoe was probably made around 600 BC. Manufactured.

From Roman times , the road body of a 3.5 to 4 meter wide Roman road has been proven in the Vilsinger district . It stretched over 25 kilometers from Vilsingen through Kreenheinstetten and Leibertingen to Buchheim , Neuhausen ob Eck and Tuttlingen ( Tuttlingen Castle ). From Vilsingen it branched off on the one hand in the direction of Inzigkofen ( Roman estate Inzigkofen ) and Laiz (Donaufurt), on the other hand via Josefslust to Ennetach ( Ennetach fort ). Presumably the road system is part of the Donausüdstraße .

middle Ages

Vilsingen, together with Engelswies, is one of the earliest mentioned places in the region. They are first mentioned in the early Middle Ages in a document dated 793 in the St. Gallen document book. A Peratoldus made a large donation to the St. Gallen Monastery , including goods in Kelteswis (prescribed for Ingelteswis ) and Filisininga . In 817 Ingolteswis and Filisininga were involved in the transfer of ownership from Petto to St. Gallen; At that time, Vilsingen was part of the Baartoldesbaar under Count Karamann and part of the Scherragau . On April 3, 875 a church in Filisninga was mentioned for the first time . This happened in connection with the handover of the church by Count Adelbert to the St. Gallen Monastery, in addition to the associated areas ( Mansus ) on the Scheer, for 20 Jauchert .

In the 13th century Vilsingen belonged to the Gutenstein estate . In 1275 the parish of Vilsingen is mentioned for the first time, which belongs to the deanery Schömberg near Rottweil. Around 1300 Vilsingen and Dietfurt are owned by the Lords of Reischach . Dietfurt, Vilsingen, Inzigkofen and Pault together formed the small Dietfurt dominion , which was assigned to the Jungnau dominion in 1367 . The Nickhof is described in the Habsburg Urbar church as belonging to Vilsingen. From 1324 to 1370 Vilsingen is no longer listed as a separate parish in the parish register, but as a subsidiary of Gutenstein. In 1461, the St. Anna Chapel was first mentioned.

The Reischachian possessions Dietfurt, Vilsingen, Inzigkofen and Pault were sold in 1421 by Egg and Heinrich von Reischach to the Sigmaringen Countess Anna von Werdenberg for 2500 guilders. On April 21, 1525, Count Felix von Werdenberg had Vilsingen burned down. After the death of the last male Werdenberger in 1534, Vilsingen was inherited by Count Friedrich von Fürstenberg in the Fürstenberg family , but remained administratively under the Fürstenberg rule of Jungnau.

In 1669 a schoolmaster is mentioned for the first time in Vilsingen.

Modern

In 1806 the Jungnau rule was placed under the sovereignty of the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . In 1816 Vilsingen became its own parish again. On April 6, 1827, the citizens of Vilsingen were given full ownership of the communal forest by the Fürstenberg lordship, instead of the previous right to lumber. When the Obervogteiamt Jungnau was abolished in 1840 , Vilsingen and Dietfurt were assigned to the Hohenzollern Oberamt Sigmaringen . In 1840 the St. Anna chapel in the upper village was removed and is later used as a wash house. The construction of the community bakery dates back to 1847. In 1860/65, a field consolidation (land consolidation) is carried out in Vilsingen. The current parish church was built between 1870 and 1873, the schoolhouse and today's town hall in 1894.

In 1901 the Hohenzollern part of Thiergarten (left of the Danube) was incorporated into Vilsingen and the royal-Hohenzollern domain Nickhof, which had previously belonged to the Vilsingen community association, was re-incorporated to Inzigkofen. An earthquake on November 16, 1911 severely damaged the church, especially the steeple. On the occasion of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , Vilsingen was incorporated into the municipality of Inzigkofen on January 1, 1975. On January 1, 1977, the district of Thiergarten (Hohenzollern part to the left of the Danube) belonging to Vilsingen was reclassified to the municipality of Beuron after hearing the residents there . On September 3, 1978, another earthquake caused severe damage to the church tower. In 1993 Vilsingen celebrated its 1200th anniversary.

Culture and sights

Buildings

  • The neo-Gothic parish church of St. John and Paul from 1871 in the center of the village has a church tower that is 47 meters high and can be seen from afar. In the church there is a baptismal font by the Vilsinger artist Simon Korn, who lives in Munich. The baptismal font made of shell limestone, which he designed, created and donated, bears three images of the Holy Trinity in the top row along with the symbols of baptism; at the foot he bears the symbols of the four evangelists and the figures of the four great Latin church fathers as bearers of the baptismal secrets. It was consecrated on July 22, 1909.
  • The cemetery church Vilsingen is the second oldest church in Hohenzollern . The actual year of construction is unknown, but a document from 1465 says that the church is consecrated to the Queen Mother of God and the princes of heaven John and Paul. Investigations of the building revealed that part of the foundation wall goes back to the oldest church mentioned in 850; the church was built and changed around 1470. The frescoes are works of the 16th century. In 1627 the church was completely renovated. For example, arched windows and ceiling panels were installed. With the construction of a new parish church, the church ultimately became a cemetery church. The church has been renovated since September 2007 and consecrated at the end of May 2009, at a cost of 240,000 euros. The church is still owned by the Catholic Church and is now used as a funeral hall for funerals.
  • The Dietfurt ruin is a well-preserved keep , but it is not accessible. The medieval building was mentioned in 1274 as "castrum Dietfurt". The castle cave below is an important archaeological site.

Sports

The Skiclub Vilsingen eV, a division of TSV-Vilsingen eV, operates a small ski lift with a length of about 140 meters and a ski hut.

societies

Regular events

  • During the Swabian-Alemannic carnival the Vilsinger also teasingly Hornasen called (hair, nose). There are two interpretations for this: On the one hand, there are said to have been many men in the past with lush hair growth in their nostrils; others think it should actually be called urinary noses, because many people put their noses in sometimes disreputable things that were actually none of their business. Older people also know the name Käppeleschinder for the Vilsingers because they once converted a small chapel in the local area into a wash house.
  • The three-day village and bakery festival has been held annually in Vilsingen since 1981 . Specialties are the Vilsinger bread loaves and Dennetle.
