Wellingen (Breisgau)
Wellingen or Wöllingen was the name of an abandoned village in the Rhine valley about one kilometer northeast of Wyhl am Kaiserstuhl , Emmendingen district , on the road to Weisweil . It is mentioned for the first time in a possibly forged document, according to which Bishop Heddo of Strasbourg bequeathed goods there to the Ettenheimmünster monastery in 762 . The Einsiedeln monastery later owned the place "Wenelinga in pago Brisikewe", "Wellingen im Breisgau", which the later Emperor Otto II. 972 confirmed. The St. Margarethen monastery in Waldkirch was also wealthy in Wellingen. From 1308, the Augustinian canons of St. Märgen in the Black Forest acquired Wellingen and Wyhl.
The church of Wellingen was dedicated to St. Gertrud von Nivelles and a branch of the parish of St. Blasius (Wyhl) . It is mentioned for the first time in 1341: “Item a garden in villa whether the kilchen next to Sant Gertrud Garten.” It was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War and was never completely restored.
"The turmoil of the War of the Spanish Succession seems to have completely ruined the Wellinger Höfe that still existed." The last Wellinger moved to Wyhl. When the "Wellinger Bann" is mentioned in protocols from the 18th and 19th centuries, this only meant the area, no longer a place with homes.
Holy Mass was sometimes still celebrated in the half-ruined little church . In the dilapidated church tower, the farmers looked for protection from storms until the community decided in 1812 to break it off because it was life-threatening. The following night he fell in a violent storm.
A red sandstone cross on the road to Weisweil is a reminder of the village. On a stone bench below it says: “This is the resting place of the city of Willingen. Donated by Stephan Thrönle in 1856. “Thrönle, born in Wyhl in 1813, got rich in an adventurous life in Africa, returned to Wyhl, donated the cross there, but became impoverished and emigrated again.
About 60 m west of the cross, a slight bump in the ground hides the remains of the Gertrudiskirche.
