Wettelbrunn is a district of Staufen im Breisgau in the border area between the foothills of the Black Forest and the Staufen Bay facing the Rhine with 673 inhabitants (as of 2012 microcensus).
history
In 1216, Wettelbrunn is mentioned for the first time in a document from the St. Blasien monastery , namely as Wetilbrunnen (fountain of the Wetil). There were two large monastery courtyards in the place. One, with the church, belonged to the cathedral monastery of Basel, which granted it to inheritance in 1289 . The other belonged to the Tennenbach Monastery , which set him up as a Grangie and also granted hereditary rights. In 1685 it sold its farm to the St. Trudpert Monastery.
In 1284 the Margrave of Hachberg renounced the bailiwick rights that he owned in Wettelbrunn. 1330 Messrs sold by Staufen their advocacies on the santa blasi rule Grosshof at this monastery. The lords of Staufen had local rule in the 13th century as a fiefdom of the Counts of Freiburg . The Austrian rule in 1602 pledged the place, which went to the monastery of St. Blasien as a fief with the rule of Staufen in 1738. During the time of Baden, Wettelbrunn belonged to the Staufen district office, and since 1936 to the district office / district of Müllheim. In 1971 it was incorporated into Staufen.
coat of arms
The coat of arms shows a golden stag, which points to St. Blasien, and underneath three staufe of the Lords of Staufen on a red shield.
Culture
The carnival parade in Wettelbrunn has become a symbol of village customs in recent years. Every year on “Fasnetsamschdig” there is a large parade in Wettelbrunn with a large number of guilds from the area.
The Wettelbrunn music association makes another cultural contribution to village life. It was founded in 1866. Every year he is involved in the Musikhock, in the Corpus Christi procession, on the White Sunday of the first communion children, in the patronage festival of St. Vitus and at Christmas.
St. Vitus Church
The parish church is dedicated to St. Vitus . It was first mentioned in Wettelbrunn in 1216. The tower is actually Romanesque. It was originally three-story. Probably in 1733 it was raised by one floor with large arched windows and thus received its original baroque shape, with a gable roof that lies across the nave. In this context, the sound arcades were walled up, but they were reopened in 1956. The tower flanks the south side of the church choir.

The reason for the increase was a fire in the church in 1732. The Gothic choir survived the fire and was incorporated into the newly built nave, to which it is connected by a semicircular triumphal arch. It has a groin vault without ribs, while the nave has a flat vaulted ceiling adorned with four medallions of the evangelists. Like the neo-Gothic version of the old baroque altar, they probably date from the second half of the 19th century.
organ
In the western part of the nave there is a swinging organ gallery on wooden supports. The organ was built in 1810 by Xaver Bernauer (1768–1831) from Staufen. The work was restored and rebuilt in 1968 by the organ builder Franz Winterhalter from Oberharmersbach . It works with a cone drawer , has two manuals , an independent pedal and twelve registers , but is now missing. That is why an organ building association was founded in 2016 with the aim of installing a new organ in the listed housing, which should be based on the sound of Xaver Bernauer's organ, but again with two manuals and 14 registers due to today's worship service requirements .
