history

The Frohnstetter street names "Keltenstraße", "Römerstraße" and "Alemannenstraße" are reminiscent of an early settlement of the area. Among other things, Alemannic row graves were found here .

Frohnstetten itself was first mentioned in a document in 842. In the contract of Solomon with the monastery of St. Gallen , the place was bequeathed to the monastery. Since the Middle Ages the place belonged to the rule of Straßberg . Count Heinrich von Hohenberg returned the fiefdom to the secular Buchau women's monastery . The prince-abbess Anna I. von Winberg (1329-1353) transferred the fiefdom in 1345 to Rudolf von Reischach .

This was followed by frequent changes of ownership. In 1532, Dietrich Dieteg von Westerstetten acquired the castle with Straßberg including the hamlet of Frohnstetten. These properties remained in the hands of the von Westerstetten family for several generations.

The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) among the Swedes and the plague raged between 1632 and 1635 here as well. During this time, the hamlet of Weinitz im Hardt is said to have gone, its residents in honor of St. Sebastian, patron saint against the plague, had built a chapel in Hardt.

During the secularization in 1802 the secular prince-dynasty Buchau was abolished, the rule of Straßberg with Frohnstetten was assigned to the Princely House of Thurn und Taxis , which established the Oberamt Straßberg here. Four years later, the Princely House of Thurn und Taxis had to cede its political independence to the Princely House of Hohenzollern in Sigmaringen. In 1835, the landlord corrections were also transferred to the House of Sigmaringen through a purchase agreement.

Frohnstetten was one of the first communities in the Swabian Alb to install a pumping line from the valley for their drinking water. As early as 1842, two wells in the center of the village were put into operation, ending the health problems of rainwater use.

During the revolution of 1848 , citizens in Frohnstetten also revolted against the authorities and founded a vigilante group to overthrow Prince Karl von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen .

With the State Treaty of 1849, the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia . Frohnstetten then belonged to the Hohenzoller Lands . From 1854 Frohnstetten was an independent municipality in the Prussian Oberamt Gammertingen . When this formed the newly founded Prussian district of Sigmaringen together with the Sigmaringen Oberamt in 1925, independence was retained. Frohnstetten thus belonged to the state of Hohenzollern.

Towards the end of the Second World War in 1944, 170 evacuees from Oberhausen were housed in the village. In 1945 the French occupation took place without a fight. Frohnstetten experienced the boom with branches of the textile industry, which mainly gave work to women.

Due to the unpopular community reform , Frohnstetten was incorporated into the community of Stetten am kalten Markt on January 1, 1975.

With 1089 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2014), the place is the largest part of the municipality.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Parish church of St. Silvester in the town center.
  • The Catholic parish church of St. Silvester is located in the village. It was completed in 1617 by Alberto Barbieri von Roveredo under Georg Dietrich von Westerstetten and his wife Barbara, née Schenkin von Staufenberg. It has a funeral house and a rococo altar. The altarpiece of the high altar comes from the Saulgau baroque painter Johann Caspar Coler .
  • The Friedhofs - or Sebastianskapelle is a Catholic chapel in the Frohnstetten cemetery that was consecrated on July 31, 1938 and is modeled on the old Sebastiansweiler chapel in terms of size and construction plan. The chapel, previously used by the Frohnstetter parish, was dedicated to Saint Sebastian , the patron saint against the plague and infectious diseases. According to legend, survivors of the plague in the nearby village of Weinitz im Hardt were the builders of this chapel. Since the chapel was first mentioned in 1625, it could be related to the plague epidemic mentioned in the Zimmerische Chronik in the Upper Danube Valley and its surroundings in the years 1518 to 1519. In 1936, Sebastiansweiler with its two farms and the Sebastian Chapel had to give way to the construction of a field airfield for the Heuberg military training area . The material removed from the old chapel in December 1936 was used in the new building. The chapel has a neo-Gothic altar, a crucifix by the sculptor Franz Xaver Marmon and sculptures by the sculptor Strüb . An oil painting by a prisoner of war shows the desert of Sebastiansweiler.
  • There is a hilb in the center of the village .
  • Other sights are the old town hall and the old school, today used as a town house.
  • The pump house / fountain house is evidence of the local history of Frohnstetten. Today it is the home of the sports fishing club Frohnstetten 1978 e. V.
