Community structure

history

Wehingen was first mentioned in a document on March 27, 793 in a deed of donation from the St. Gallen monastery. In 843 the village belonged to the Reichenau Monastery and until the 14th century the Reichenau Monastery was also the largest landlord. In 1197 the lords of Wehingen were named for the first time with the knight Hugo von Wehingen . Above the district of Harras, the castle of the Lords of Wehingen was built on the "Schlosshalde", the extensive remains of which are still visible today and indicate a larger castle complex. In 1351 the Lords of Wehingen sold the festival for 600 pounds heller to Duke Albrecht of Austria , who often used the festival as a pledge for his extensive debts. In 1355 the Reichenau monastery sold the village of Wehingen "with its people and goods" to the Alpirsbach monastery. The Lords of Wehingen entered the service of the Austrian dukes. In the following years, the various justice systems in Wehingen led to frequent disputes. Austria claimed and exercised all sovereign rights despite all objections from the Alpirsbach monastery. At that time, the Alpirsbach monastery was the owner of four Kehlhöfe (cellar farms = manor farms) in Wehingen and was the patron saint of the parish of Wehingen, which also included Gosheim. In 1582 Wehingen was finally transferred to the Upper Austrian County of Hohenberg. Austria now had sovereign rulership and retained it until 1805, when Wehingen came to Württemberg .

On October 28, 1828, a fire in Wehingen destroyed 42 houses and with them the apartments of 80 families in just a few hours. The construction aid of the Kingdom of Württemberg essentially owed Wehingen its present-day appearance. The market rights granted in 1830 made Wehingen one of the most important places in the royal superior office of Spaichingen . With the regional reform in 1938, Wehingen came to the Tuttlingen district .

religion

Catholic Church

A pastor in Wehingen was first mentioned in 1245. The church set of the parish church consecrated to St. Ulrich, which is first mentioned in a document in 1299, belonged to the Reichenau monastery and, like the entire town, was sold to the Alpirsbach monastery in 1355 . In 1649, Württemberg exchanged the church rate for the St. Blasien monastery , which ceded it to Austria in 1725. As a result, he returned to Württemberg in 1805. After a fire, the church was rebuilt and consecrated to St. Ulrich on October 3, 1738 . The nave was replaced by a neo-Romanesque nave in 1898/99 and consecrated again on September 19, 1899.

The first parish church in Wehingen , the Fronhofer Church in Fronhofen , was first mentioned in a document in 843. The Fronhof church in its current form dates from Romanesque and late Gothic times and received a tower with a stepped gable in the 15th century.

Protestant church

In addition to Wehingen, the parishes of Reichenbach, Gosheim, Deilingen and Egesheim also belong to the Protestant parish of Wehingen. For the entire area of ​​the parish there is a Protestant church, the Christ Church, built in 1962. Before the Second World War there were only a few Protestant Christians on the Heuberg. This situation changed after 1945, when many refugees and displaced persons came from the formerly German eastern regions, so that the Protestant population increased. Due to the influx of Russian-German repatriates, mainly from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan , the Protestant parish has grown again.

New Apostolic Church

The congregation of the New Apostolic Church in Wehingen belongs to the church district of Villingen-Schwenningen .

Islam

Since 1983 there has been a Turkish-Islamic cultural association in Wehingen that maintains a mosque in Wehingen.

Coat of arms and banner

	Blazon : "In blue over a lowered silver (white) zigzag bar, a silver (white) wing covered with a blue zigzag bar."
	Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms, first awarded in 1930, is derived from the coat of arms of the Lords of Wehlingen. In order to avoid confusion with the coat of arms of the former municipality of Tieringen , the wing was added in 1961.

"The banner is striped white and blue lengthways with the coat of arms above the middle."

Infrastructure and economy

As a result of the fire on October 28, 1828, in which large parts of the village were destroyed, Wehingen received construction aid from the Kingdom of Württemberg in the form of privileges, such as the market rights granted in 1830 and the settlement of state institutions. Since then, various offices have been established in Wehingen by royal order.
