history
Werrabronn, then still called Werren, is mentioned in the border description of 1486 and 1540. It gained importance because foreign customs were levied there until 1803 . The border line between the margraviate of Baden-Durlach and the Electoral Palatinate ran through Werrabronn - Weingarten was then part of the Electoral Palatinate, Grötzingen was part of the margravate Baden-Durlach. Until 1780 there was a customs house on the site , but it was demolished. In 1728 Margrave Karl gave the order to use the Werren spring in Werrabronn for the water supply to the Margravial Palace in Karlsruhe and commissioned Christoph Hecker von Hochdorf with the work. The water pipe actually went into operation, but was demolished again a short time later. Natural tufa from Werrabronn was partially used as a building material for the construction of Karlsruhe Palace . From 1728 onwards, millers from Weingarten as well as from Grötzingen made applications to use the water of the spring and to build a mill, which, however, was rejected until 1833. In 1833 the construction of a mill was approved, so that in 1825 the Werrenmühle started work on the Weingartner part.
After the Werrenmühle ceased operations, it changed hands several times until the community of Weingarten became interested in the lonely house. Weingarten intended to use the spring for drinking water supply, but was unable to do so at first because the Werrenmühle was on Weingartner's side, but the spring was on the Grötzingen side and had to buy the spring from Grötzingen in 1906 for 9,000 marks. Weingarten sold the Werrenmühle again, for a time it was used as a restaurant, until after the First World War it became a farm with a children's and recreation home. The buildings on the Grötzinger side were leased to a nursery after the First World War. Until 1986, Weingarten's drinking water supply was partially provided by the source in Werrabronn, but then it had to be taken off the network due to contamination.
today
Today the marking line between Weingarten and the city of Karlsruhe runs through the residential area. One of the two existing building complexes is located in the district of Weingarten and is therefore part of the Karlsruhe district and one in the district of Karlsruhe, i.e. part of the Karlsruhe district. Gut Werrabronn, an agricultural business in the fourth generation of the family, is located in the Weingarten district . Opposite, and thus in the urban district of Karlsruhe, there is a stone mason . Both companies have the address Werrabronn in 76356 Weingarten.
