geography
Tiny
The Kinzig rises in the district of Loßburg and flows into the Rhine after 93 km at Kehl .
Community structure
The entire municipality of Loßburg consists of the eight districts Loßburg, Betzweiler , Lombach , Schömberg , Sterneck , 24-Höfe , Wilder and Wittendorf with a total of 64 villages, hamlets, Zinken, farms and houses.
The official naming of the districts with the exception of the district of Loßburg takes the form "Loßburg- ...". In the districts with the exception of the district of Loßburg, six localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code, each with their own local council and mayor as its chairman, are set up, with the districts of Betzweiler and Waeler being combined into one locality. In some localities, the false suburbs are used accordingly, that is, the electoral area for the election of the local council is divided into several residential districts.
The Stehelinshof zu Vischach desert lies in the Lombach district .
history
The Lossburg area was originally obviously under the control of the Counts of Sulz . With the marriage of a daughter of Count Berthold von Sulz to Walther von Tiersberg († 1235, line Tiersberg / Geroldseck), the property must have passed to the Geroldsecker . The son Walther (2), now called von Geroldseck, married Heilika von Finstingen in 1252. Around this time the Geroldseckers, the later Hohengeroldseckers with their castle between Schuttertal and Kinzigtal, built the "Loseburch" with the place planned as a town. A city charter has not been granted. According to a dendrochronological examination of an oak beam from Loßburg Castle, the construction period was between 1252 and 1273.
From the Kinzigursprung the Geroldsecker drew a moat (ahd. Losi) to their new castle and expanded the hilltop castle into a moated castle according to their ancestral castle Lahr. Adolf Bach derives place names with Loose or Losen from "losi" (= drainage ditch). Dr. Schöck, head of the regional office for folklore in Stuttgart, sees such a derivation also applicable to Lossburg. The place was first mentioned in 1282 as "Loseburch" and in 1301 received market rights.
Water supply
The moat derived from the Kinzig, now called Mühlbach, once provided only a small amount of water for the place. Therefore, strict regulations for the water consumption of the Kinzig were enacted in the proclamations of Lossburg from 1539. The regulations go back to orders of the Geroldsecker from the 15th century. A special water-scooping point was created to keep everyone the same, i.e. H. treat fairly. A Teuchelleitung did not exist back then. The water should go to the mill by Saturday noon and should not be taken by any “poor man” to irrigate the meadows. The rulers had the privilege for four weeks. The moat should be kept half a shoe deep. No diapers may be washed in the ditch on site. Wash water should be scooped into a bucket. After that, the remaining water should not be poured away, but instead fed into the side stream. The language houses (wards, toilets) and the pigsties can then be cleaned of this.
Official affiliation
The Geroldsecker pledged their rule in 1468 to the House of Württemberg , which thus became sovereign. From 1501 the property was owned by Alpirsbach Abbey . In the peasant wars , the Loßburg peasant leader Thomas Maier played a major role, he was beheaded after the battle of Böblingen in 1525.
The Reformation carried out in Württemberg led to the secularization of the Alpirsbach monastery. Lossburg came to the newly created monastery office in Alpirsbach. In the course of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Württemberg , the place came to the Oberamt Freudenstadt at the beginning of the 19th century . During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Lossburg became part of the Freudenstadt district in 1938 . After the Second World War, the municipality fell into the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which in 1952 became the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Since the district reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1973, Loßburg has been in the Karlsruhe district .
Religions
Lossburg has been evangelical since the Reformation , but Lossburg also has a Roman Catholic church , named after St. Martin. In addition to the communities, there is also a local branch of the Liebenzeller community . There is also a New Apostolic church.
