About this picture

Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl is a city in the Kaiserstuhl , located in the middle of the Upper Rhine Plain in Baden-Württemberg and forms the northwestern part of the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district . The town of Vogtsburg, which emerged from the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , was created in the 1970s through incorporations and amalgamation of seven Kaiserstuhl communities and has around 5600 inhabitants.

geography

Geographical location

Aerial view of the central Kaiserstuhl

With the exception of Burkheim, the individual villages of Vogtsburg are embedded in the valleys of the inner Kaiserstuhl. The horseshoe-shaped main ridge of the Kaiserstuhlgebirge, which opens to the west, essentially forms the outer boundary of Vogtsburg, which is marked in the west by the Rhine, here borders on Alsace and thus on France .

geology

The Kaiserstuhl Mountains were created by massive fractional tectonic events that were shaped to a much smaller extent by volcanic activities. The loess layers, which are up to 30 meters thick, form another striking geological feature and, in addition to the climate, are partly responsible for the high fertility of the area.

climate

The relatively low altitude and the sheltered location by the Vosges and the Black Forest promote the almost Mediterranean micro-climate.

history

Even if the city of Vogtsburg is one of the youngest cities in Germany, the individual districts look back on a history that is usually more than a thousand years old. The earliest finds in Oberbergen can be assigned to the band ceramists (around 5500-4950 BC) from the Neolithic Age .

In Bischoffingen there are sites that point to late Neolithic corded ceramists (around 2800–2200 BC). Further excavations uncovered graves dating from the cultural and historical epoch of the Bronze Age 1700–1200 BC. Be assigned. In more recent early history from around 800 BC. There are numerous references to a dense settlement of the Celts , which reach up to the advance of the Alemanni around 200 AD. For example, Oberbergen is the most important settlement area in South Baden during the Hallstatt period .

Today's city was created on January 1, 1975 under the name Oberrotweil through the merger of the city of Burkheim and the communities of Achkarren, Bischoffingen and Oberrotweil. At the same time, the two communities Bickensohl and Schelingen were incorporated into Oberrotweil. As early as January 1, 1973, Oberbergen was incorporated into Oberrotweil.

On April 15, 1977 the name of the city was changed to Vogtsburg in the Kaiserstuhl .

Due to the horseshoe shape of the Kaiserstuhl, which is only open to the west towards the Rhine, Vogtsburg was not easy to reach before the breakthrough of the car as a means of mass transport. This has led to a stagnation of the population since 1870. The total population from 1880 to 1980 was stable at 5000 people. During this time there was great emigration. Only since 1980 has the population increased again due to new development areas.

Buildings

Thanks to the districts of Achkarren, Oberrotweil, Schelingen and Altvogtsburg, Vogtsburg has four Weinbrenner- style churches .

The St. Michaels Church in Niederrotweil was first mentioned in 1175 (according to Dehio even in 1157), but it is much older. According to Reclam's art guide, it could date from the 8th century. Is aware of this building because of its only in 1951 exposed frescoes from the mid-14th century, but especially because of the carved wooden altar, a late work of Master H. L . The altar is considered an outstanding example of the late Gothic and is dated to around 1530. The organ, built in 1758 and located in this church since 1833, is the oldest surviving organ in Breisgau.

Niederrotweil with Michaelskirche

The St. Romanuskirche in Altvogtsburg was built in 1835/36 as a branch church directly on Landstrasse. The plan initially provided for a church for 700 people, but was revised by the district master builder Hans Voss and adapted to the size of the community, i.e. reduced in size. The hall building has a choir and two side rooms. The high altar comes from the workshop of Franz Xaver Marmon , the windows from the Freiburg glass workshop Helmle & Merzweiler . The interior, which was initially only given a light coat of paint, was given a historicist design from 1883 and decorated with ornamental pictures, wall paintings and stylized tendrils by the Freiburg painter Anselm Endress . After both the building structure and the furnishings were threatened due to the ingress of water and the building structure was severely damaged, not least because of vibrations from traffic on the nearby street and light earthquakes, the church had to be closed. The German Foundation for Monument Protection is committed to saving the church.

The parish church in Schelingen was planned by Christoph Arnold , a nephew and student of Friedrich Weinbrenner.

The old town of Burkheim is entered through the city gate; it consists essentially of the development of a single cobbled street and is extremely romantic and idyllic. At the end of the town, the old castle ruins stand on the mountain spur, below which the river bed ran before the Rhine was straightened.

Remains of the ruins of Höhingen Castle can still be found above the Achkarren on the Schlossberg .

Church and monastery “St. Peter on the Kaiserstuhl ”of the Pauline Order , which was located on the Neunlindenbuck near the skull. The small monastery existed since at least 1373. Little is known, but the monastery may not have survived the Reformation, so that one has to assume the end for the 16th century.
