Wennfeld

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wennfeld is a desert that is located in the Südstadt district of Tübingen . The location in the south-east of the city of Tübingen is located near today's Wennfelder Garten street . Today the area is built up and no longer recognizable as a desert.

history

Wennfeld was mentioned in a document as Wemmenvelt in 1296 and Wendfeld in a misleading manner since 1439 . The row burial ground on the northern slope of the Galgenberg, with finds around 675 AD , probably belonged to the settlement .

The mark was counted as part of the Tübingen ban as early as 1346. It was initially owned by the Count Palatine of Tübingen and came via the Reutlinger Bächt and the Lords of Wurmlingen in 1339 to St. Blasien Monastery , which combined the property in a single courtyard. The farm was sold before the 16th century and the land was bought by the Tübingen hospital in 1661.

Wennfelder Chapel

The Wennfeld Chapel or Nikolauskapelle , which no longer exists today , stood on a plot of land that is now bordered by Eisenhutstraße , Wennfelder Garten and Görlitzer Weg . The chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1330. Some sources think it is likely that the chapel was built because of the frequent flooding so that the water would turn around here. That is why it was dedicated to St. Nicholas as the patron saint of water. In the Kusterdinger forest there is still the so-called Wendacker blade .

From a note from 1569, which Wennfeld describes with the following words: "Garten zu Wendtfeldt, then in front of jarn a cappelin or Kirchlin zu St. Niclausen", it emerges that the chapel was demolished in the 16th century. In the Swabian Chronicle published in 1591, Martin Crusius mentions the chapel in connection with the Welfenschlacht of 1164. A handwritten note in Greek in his personal copy (in the University Library of Tübingen ) reports that the abandoned chapel was ultimately used as a brothel.

This property is still marked with the owner "Stiftungspflege Tübingen" on a land map from 1935.
