history
City development through the merger of two municipalities in 1940
Today's town of Wendlingen am Neckar was created by a decree of June 6, 1939 by the Württemberg governor Wilhelm Murr on April 1, 1940 from the formerly independent communities of Wendlingen with Bodelshofen and Unterboihingen. Wendlingen am Neckar was chosen as the name .
After the Second World War, the settlement of expellees , especially from the Egerland , resulted in a significant increase in population. On August 27, 1966, the city of Wendlingen am Neckar took over the sponsorship of the Egerland in Baden-Württemberg. They also brought the tradition of the Vinzenzifest from the Staufer town of Eger to their new home. Since 1952, the Vinzenzifest has been celebrated continuously with the Egerländer Gmoi and the local and traditional costume associations as one of the largest traditional festivals in Baden-Württemberg.
On December 15, 1964, the state government of Baden-Württemberg gave the municipality of Wendlingen am Neckar in the former district of Nürtingen the designation "city". Wendlingen once had city rights from 1230 to 1805. Wendlingen received this from the noble family of the Counts of Aichelberg. Due to the abolition of the estates in 1805, Wendlingen lost its town charter.
City expansion with municipal facilities from 1989
The structural development of the New Town Center , which was inaugurated in 1989, began in 1957 with the construction of a town hall, which was completed in 1959. The new city library has been in the city center since December 1987. The nave and the tower house were completed in 1988, as was the Saint-Leu-la-Forêt-Platz, which is planted with plane trees.
The new city center was finally completed with the opening of the city and culture center Treffpunkt Stadtmitte in 2009. This town house on the market square offers space for the music school, the adult education center, for clubs and the meeting place "MiT" (people in the meeting point). There are party rooms available for various occasions. The small hall can be opened for events on a glass front facing the market square and offers space for approx. 150 people. The large hall enables direct access to the outside with an attractive outdoor area and offers space for approx. 350 people. It is possible to connect the large and the small hall.
In addition, the construction of new sports facilities in the Gewann Im Speck was completed in 2009 . The sports park and the new two-part sports hall Im Speck are available to those interested in sports for training and playing in football, athletics and many other sports. In 2010 the sports park was completed by a tennis facility and later by a skate park with a street ball field.
Wendlingen am Neckar has been a school town with a fully developed school system since the 1990s. In addition to primary schools, a secondary school and a grammar school, the Wendlinger education system includes a special school, a primary school special class and a community school.
In the first years of the 21st century, Wendlingen am Neckar developed more and more into a bicycle-friendly city by expanding the inner-city cycle path network and installing charging stations for e-bikes at the central bus station. Bicycle boxes and a significantly larger bicycle parking space for commuters have also been created here.
In 2015 the city of Wendlingen am Neckar celebrated the 75th anniversary of the merger of Wendlingen with Bodelshofen and Unterboihingen.
Religions
The Reformation was introduced in Wendlingen in 1539 and in Bodelshofen in 1616. Alongside Pfarrhausen and Steinbach (today's Wernau) and Neuhausen auf den Fildern, Unterboihingen was one of the few Catholic villages in the near and far for centuries.
The Eusebiuskiche and the Johanneskirche in Wendlingen as well as the Jakobuskirche in Bodelshofen are Protestant. The St. Columban Church and the chapel in the end grain are Catholic. There is also a New Apostolic Church and institutions of other faiths.
History of the districts
Bodelshofen
The Bodelshofen manor was first mentioned in a document in 1268. At that time it was subordinate to the Dukes of Teck and came to the Lords of Wernau around 1400 . In 1740 Franz Gottlieb von Palm bought the hamlet from the lords of Mentzingen, who had owned the hamlet since 1680. The estate there is still owned by descendants of the Barons von Palm, the Barons von Massenbach .
In 1829 the hamlet of Bodelshofen was merged with the Wendlingen community. Nevertheless, Bodelshofen retained a certain degree of independence. As before, Bodelshof had its own civil rights. In 1934 Bodelshofen lost its independence and was incorporated into Wendlingen.
Bodelshofen is characterized in particular by the Hofgut and the Jakobus Church on the Way of St. James.
Unterboihingen
The first mentions of Boihingen can be found around 1100 and 1130 in the donation books of the Hirsau monastery. However, it is not clear whether unterboihingen or Oberboihingen is meant. A precise distinction between the two places goes back to a document dated June 5, 1336.
At that time, Unterboihingen was owned by the Counts of Hohenberg. Unterboihingen also belonged to the ancestral property of the Counts of Aichelberg and later the Lords of Wernau. In 1684 the tribe of the Lords of Wernau on the Lower Neckar went out with the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Konrad Wilhelm von Wernau, who came from Unterboihingen. Decades of inheritance disputes followed. For a short time, from 1730 to 1736, the mistress of Duke Eberhard Ludwig, Wilhelmine von Grävenitz alias Countess von Würben, was able to bring Unterboihingen into her possession. In 1739, Baron Wilhelm Ludwig Thumb von Neuburg acquired Unterboihingen, mainly through an exchange for half of the Lordship of Köngen.
The noble family Thumb von Neuburg is still the owner of the castle in Unterboihingen.
In 1805 Unterboihingen came to Württemberg and was assigned to the Oberamt Nürtingen .
The industrial age began with the Unterboihingen station of the Württemberg State Railways on the newly built line from Plochingen to Reutlingen in 1859.
Already in Roman times there was a Roman estate on the Unterboihinger district, a Villa Rustica with an associated Roman bathing facility, which was discovered in 1961. Although this is one of the most beautiful and largest bathing facilities in Baden-Württemberg with dimensions of 22 × 13 meters, it had to be covered again in autumn 1961. On a manor of this size, up to 50 people could have worked and lived there. A hitherto unknown wall of the facility was cut through the development of the area next to the bathing facility in autumn 2005. The bathing facility itself was not built over and is still in the ground.
A Roman road branched off in Köngen along the Lauter along the 23 km long Lautertal Limes , which ends at the Alblimes near Donnstetten . In 2016, an Alemannic burial ground from the 6th / 7th centuries was also found in Unterboihingen . Discovered in the 3rd century AD, a. a. with filigree disc brooches .
Wendlingen
Wendlingen is first mentioned in a document in 1132. In 1230, Count Egeno von Aichelberg gave the place city rights for the first time. Wendlingen came to the Lords of Lichteneck through the Counts of Aichelberg. Wendlingen came to Hans von Wernau in 1390 through an exchange of territory. Under the Lords of Wernau, the Eusebius Church was built in Wendlingen, which still characterizes the image of the "Städtle" today. Hans von Wernau's descendant Wolf Heinrich sold Wendlingen in 1545 to Duke Ulrich von Württemberg . Wendlingen retained its town charter and was incorporated into the state constitution of the Duchy of Württemberg.
Wendlingen was best known for its mills, which obtained their water power from a canal of the Lauter, the Mühlkanal . The first flour mill in Wendlingen was mentioned as early as 1276. At the beginning of the 19th century there were three grain and gypsum mills as well as a saw and an oil mill. At that time, Wendlingen was still surrounded by the reinforced wall and the deep moat. Since the medieval fortifications stood in the way of expansion, the three city gates were first demolished, the city moat filled in and the city wall removed. Only a few remains of the city wall have survived in Wendlingen. A section of the city wall was rebuilt in 1983 by the citizens' association using original stones at a historic location on Pfauhauser Straße. In earlier times there was still viticulture on the hillside northwest of the place, which was abandoned in 1820, but has been retained in the name of the residential area Weinhalde.
With the reorganization of Württemberg, Wendlingen lost its city rights in 1805 and thus its seat in the state assembly of the state assembly in Stuttgart . When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Wendlingen was assigned to the Esslingen District Office. The connection to the newly built railway line from Plochingen to Reutlingen in 1859 via the train station at Unterboihingen also led to the settlement of the first industrial companies, primarily in the textile sector.
During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , both Unterboihingen and Wendlingen came to the Esslingen district in 1938 . In 1940 the two previously independent communities of Unterboihingen and Wendlingen were merged. After the Second World War, Wendlingen became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Buildings
The Unterboihingen Castle , originally a medieval water castle from the 12th century, has an idyllic castle garden, farm buildings and a beautiful, cast-iron fountain from 1833. It is surrounded by an old castle wall with a picturesque corner pavilion. The castle is not open to the public. Parts of the property can be booked for events since 2015. a. the library, formerly probably a palace chapel. The complex also includes the office building built around 1800, the so-called rent office and the sheep house.
In the old town center of Unterboihingen are the former town hall and school building from 1807, the St. Columban's Church and the late Baroque former rectory, built in 1753, in which the city museum is now based. Since the prince-bishop of Würzburg, Konrad Wilhelm von Wernau, who came from Unterboihingen, bequeathed the ecclesiastical property of Unterboihingen to the Unterzell monastery and at that time Balthasar Neumann (died 1753) was a master builder in Würzburg, this parsonage was built according to plans by Balthasar Neumann, one of the most important master builders of the Baroque. The parish church of Unterboihingens, St. Columban, was built on the site of a late Gothic church, which was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style in 1910 according to plans by the architect Joseph Cades . Only the tower from 1593 remained. In 2002 the exterior was completely renovated. Next to the old rectory is the parish barn (1751/1752), the medieval third barn (1457/1458) and the bakery and wash house (1811). Not far away is the former tithe barn of the Esslingen hospital and Unterzell monastery, built in 1631, today a private building.
The little chapel to our dear lady in end grain , which was originally called Ad sanctum Columbanum im Hürnholtz , was probably built around the year 900 as a former pilgrimage chapel. The foundation walls of the preserved tower of the chapel speak for this. The chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1275. It has Romanesque parts in the altar area, but above all Gothic frescoes and Renaissance paintings, which were uncovered in 1971/72. The chapel is a historical gem and the oldest building in the city of Wendlingen am Neckar.
The Eusebius Church is a late Gothic hall church . It is a church named after Eusebius von Vercelli (283-371) and with its patronage it is a specialty as the only Eusebius church in Germany. It could well be that Liutward von Vercelli, as Bishop of Vercelli (880-899), obtained the necessary relic and either came directly from Wendlingen or at least had a strong connection to Wendlingen. The nave and choir of today's Eusebius Church were built in 1448, and the church tower was added in 1511. The gables of the west tower have decorations in the Renaissance style, which are rarely found in southern Germany. The church has been Protestant at least since Wendlingen passed into Württemberg hands. Worth mentioning are the ornate glass windows by Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen and a predella from the Ulm School, made around 1500. The panel in the choir shows the risen Christ in the circle of the Twelve Apostles. The more than 500-year-old Sidler bell, probably from the previous church, which was cast in 1501 and is one of the oldest still existing bells from the bell founder Pantlion Sydler, is remarkable .
The large outside staircase of the Eusebius Church was built in the 1970s. Opposite the church is the historic half-timbered Protestant rectory from 1779.
In Bodelshofen there is the Gothic Jakobskirche , which was mentioned as early as 1275, surrounded by a small cemetery in which former local families are buried. The Church of St. James was a meeting place for pilgrims on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela throughout the Middle Ages . It was only a few years ago that Gothic wall frescoes were uncovered inside, including a cycle depicting the Passion of Jesus. The Jakobskirche is also equipped with important glass windows from Stockhausen.
The hamlet of Bodelshofen is also used by the historic Hofgut from the 17th / 18th centuries. Century significantly shaped with his horse farm. The so-called Steffansche Haus, a neat half-timbered house at the crossroads, was probably built in the 17th century on the site of the Bodelshofen Gülthof, which was mentioned as early as 1292.
In the center of Wendlingen is the Protestant Johanneskirche, which - instead of being renovated - is now to be demolished (decision of 2015). The new community center is to be built in their place, into which the existing church tower is to be integrated.
The former station building was opened as Unterboihingen station in 1859 and extensively renovated in 2002/2003. Together with the former Unterboihingen post office, the goods shed and the so-called "Iron House", a railway house from 1900, the historic station ensemble was preserved.
Various buildings of the Otto factory in Unterboihingen are now considered cultural monuments of industrial and architectural history. The old main building was built by the building officer Otto Tafel , the newer building with the tower by Philipp Jakob Manz , the most important industrial architect in southwest Germany at the time, in the style of the Italian early Renaissance . Both architects also designed the Otto area in Wendlingen, which is a total cultural monument and is to be developed into an attractive residential, service, commercial and leisure area by incorporating the listed buildings. The ensemble of 14 historic, former masters' houses of the Otto company in Spinnerstrasse is also to be renovated.
The former Erwin Behr canteen from 1910 was completely renovated in 2010 and converted into the “Villa Behr” hotel-restaurant. The two former porter's houses are at the entrance to the Behr site. Noteworthy are the villas in Behrstrasse, which Erwin Behr had built for his senior employees in the Art Nouveau style.
The Lauterschule is a historic school building that was built from 1897. It is currently used as a Protestant parish hall. Not far from there is the former Waaghäusle on the Lauterufer, where z. B. the cattle, hay and straw were officially weighed. The Lauterufer should be more tangible and generally upgraded here in the future.
Testimony to the earlier Wendlinger mills and the mill canal, which was laid out in the Middle Ages, is the former power station Silber (later Lang) on the former Mühlbach at the junction of Silberstraße / Kanalstraße, which used the water wheel of the cement and gypsum mill that was previously located there. The Mühlkanal, which was later filled in during the canalization work, flowed in today's Kanalstrasse until 1962, further on to the right behind the houses on Vorstadtstrasse, where it flowed back into the Lauter. In the Schwenkgasse there is still the former so-called Middle Mill, later referred to as the Lower Mill, today a residential building. In the Austraße on the Lauter there is still the weir from which the Mühlkanal was previously diverted.
The Ulrichsbrücke over the Neckar connects Wendlingen am Neckar with Köngen and was built between 1600-1602 according to plans by Heinrich Schickhardt . It stands in the Köngener district and at that time was the only stone bridge in the vicinity with the Esslingen Pliensau Bridge. The bridge got its name from the publication of the novel "Lichtenstein" by Wilhelm Hauff, in which Duke Ulrich von Württemberg jumps on the run with his horse from a bridge near Koengen into the Neckar and escapes, although at that time there was none Bridge is likely to have given. Already in Roman times there was probably a bridge over the Neckar on the military and trade route from Speyer to Augsburg. Because of the increasing traffic, the new "Römerbrücke" was built next to the old bridge in 1975; the Ulrichsbrücke has since been reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.
