Wiedergeltingen is a municipality in the Swabian district of Unterallgäu and a member of the Türkheim administrative community . The clustered village is located in a break in the lateral moraine of the Wertach north of the Buchloe - Memmingen railway line and the A 96 Munich - Lindau motorway . The originally strongly agricultural structures have been fundamentally changed in recent years by the establishment of businesses.

geography

location

Wiedergeltingen is located around 40 km east of Memmingen in the Donau-Iller region in Central Swabia . The municipality is traversed by the Wertach in the west . On the south-western boundary of the municipality is the Irsingener See , a barrage of the Wertach. About 17 hectares of the area of ​​the Irsingener See are in Wiedergeltingen. To the north of it, the Mühlbach is diverted from the Wertach through a weir system, which finally flows back into it at Türkheim. The Small and Large Hungerbach flow through the eastern municipality . The southern part of the Wiedergeltinger Flur is divided into an eastern and a western half by a wooded ridge, the Heisteig . The Wiedergeltinger wood is located on the south-eastern edge of the municipality .

Expansion of the municipal area

The municipality consists only of the district Wiedergeltingen.

The municipality consists of the two officially named parts of the municipality, Wiedergeltingen ( parish village ) and Wiedergeltinger Mühle ( wasteland ).

history

The first traces of settlement in the Wiedergeltinger area go back to the Middle Bronze Age (1600–1200 BC) and the Hallstatt Period (800–500 BC). Corresponding soil monuments can be traced in the form of around 150 barrows south of the village. In addition, there are some finds of tools and jewelry from the mentioned time on the Wiedergeltinger corridor.

When the place was founded at today's location can only be narrowed down roughly. With the Alemannic conquest after the Romans withdrew, new settlers are likely to have come to the area around Wiedergeltingen in the 5th century. The rise of the Franks / Carolingians in the 7th and 8th centuries and the accompanying Franconian dominance over Alemannia led to several settlements from the north - u. a. The not far away Benedictine abbey Ottobeuren was founded in 764 by Franconian nobles. The place name also gives an indication of the time when the decisive settlement took place. The determining part of the name is the personal name Widargelt , together with the Alemanni suffix -ingen in place names , which means "among the people of Widargelt". The founding of the -ingen places in the area is generally dated to the 6th and 7th centuries. A probable interpretation is that Widargelt came to this area with a Franconian-Alemannic settlers during the period mentioned and took over the existing old settlement.

The connection between the place and the ruling family of the Guelphs is also likely to last almost until this time . These belonged to the Carolingian service aristocracy and also came to power and landed property with the Frankish expansion. a. in the southern German, Swabian region. Speculation as to whether in Wiedergeltingen - as also z. B. in Mindelheim or Kaufbeuren - a Franconian imperial court existed, could not be proven so far. The Welfenburg (see below) proven in soil finds could be considered for this; however, no corresponding studies have been carried out to date. Further early settlement witnesses are early medieval Wölbacker corridors south of the village in the immediate vicinity of the above. Barrows.

The first written mention of the place dates back to January 26, 1172, when Duke Welf VI. "In domo Welfonis ducis" - d. H. in the local Palatinate / Castle - issues a certificate. Welf VI. around this time gave extensive goods in Wiedergeltingen to the Premonstratensian Monastery of Steingaden, which he founded in 1147 . The place formed a closed Hofmark of the former imperial direct (up to the 15th century) abbey and was initially part of the Schwabegg rule , after which it was sold to the Electorate of Bavaria. Until the secularization in 1803, Steingaden held lower jurisdiction over the place and some villages in the area. In Wiedergeltingen a chief judge's office (Obervogtamt) was set up to manage the surrounding Steingadian possessions. One of the Wiedergeltingen chief judges was Anton Wilhelm Ertl (1686 at the earliest until 1696 at the latest), who published his Kurbayerischer Atlas at this time . His wife died in Wiedergeltingen in 1690. The division of jurisdiction common in the Middle Ages (minor offenses were punished by the local bailiffs, while the blood spell for serious crimes was exercised by the sovereign) subsequently led to repeated disputes between the monastery and the changing owners of the Schwabegg lordship, which the high jurisdiction claimed. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

As early as the early Middle Ages, the mill existed a little outside the village on a side arm of the Wertach, the Mühlbach, regulated by a weir (river kilometer 48.8) . On January 18, 1279, the Weingarten Monastery waived its rights to the mill, Mühlbach and Wehr in Wiedergeltingen in relation to the Steingaden Convent. Originally the weir mentioned was made of wood; Maintenance and repair after the spring floods were often the subject of agreements and disputes between the millers and the authorities in the form of the Steingaden Monastery. In the 17th century, the Türkheimer Mühle, which was initially located directly on the Wertach, was moved to the lower reaches of the Mühlbach by the son of the Wiedergeltingen miller Florian Spöttel. On September 15, 1924, the Lehne company (indirect forerunner of the plastic works now in place of the Türkheimer Mühle) as the owner of the water rights of the old Türkheimer Mühle am Mühlbach began planning a new concrete weir about 80 m upstream from the old wooden weir on the Wiedergeltinger Flur. As early as July 15, 1919, the Mindelheim district office approved the aforementioned company to expand and straighten part of the upper reaches of the Mühlbach up to the factory site. As a result, the stream lost its originally strongly meandering course in this part.

The location on the Landsberg - Mindelheim - Memmingen road occasionally brought prominent visitors to the place. After the double election in the previous year, King Ludwig the Bavarian and his opponents King Friedrich the Fair and Duke Leopold faced each other in the immediate vicinity of the town on the Wertach at the beginning of September 1315 . However, unfavorable terrain and bad weather prevented fighting, so that the place and its surroundings were not affected. In May 1501 parts of the retinue of the Roman-German King Maximilian I were in the village. This is likely to be related to the Reichstag that Maximilian held in Nuremberg in July of this year. On October 20, during the War of the Spanish Succession, associations of the Margrave of Baden under the leadership of Johann Matthias Graf von der Schulenburg were located near Wiedergeltingen to avoid a battle with Bavarian electoral troops stationed near Memmingen.

In the peasant uprisings on March 3, 1525, the rebels put down the Wiedergeltingen articles with a total of 13 demands and a. on taxes and duties, serfdom, bondage and real estate. The prelate of Steingaden monastery responded to these demands; Subsequently, however, there were further disagreements with the authorities, which could not be overcome even by an attempt to mediate by Landsberg castler Ludwig von Seimen. Thereupon the place was destroyed on April 20, 1525 by the troops of Duke Ludwig of Bavaria under knight Leonhard von Eck as a deterrent. In retaliation, the farmers burned the following year and a. the Steingaden monastery down. During the Thirty Years' War, the town near Heerstraße also suffered damage when mercenary armies passed through and brought the plague with them. 1646 is reported of Swedish troops who, under the leadership of Rittmeister Sittengast, dragged three riders stationed as "Salvegast" from Wiedergeltingen to Polling. After the end of the war, in 1649 the Steingaden Monastery made extensive payments to its subjects in the village in addition to payments for the reconstruction of the Mayerhof and the church with organ.

In 1683 the parents of the famous master organ builder Augustin Simnacher married in Wiedergeltingen ; he himself spent a few years of his childhood there and was confirmed here in 1697.

Until the time of the Swedish Wars (1630–1635), the village of Hermannstetten, which has since been abandoned, was located in the area of ​​today's south-eastern land border .

After Heeresstraße was the only connection to the next larger towns and cities for centuries, the Buchloe – Memmingen railway line was opened on May 1, 1874 and the Wiedergeltingen train station went into operation. Next to the station building there was a siding with a ramp for loading and unloading freight cars. On June 1, 1985, the last train finally stopped in Wiedergeltingen; the breakpoint was then abandoned.

The first post office in town was set up on May 1, 1894, the then mayor Norbert Lutzenberger took on this task due to a lack of applicants and the family kept the post office until 1947. Four years later - in July 1898 - a telegraph or Morse code was installed, which was replaced by a telephone in 1911. The post office or branch existed in different locations until the end of 1997.

On February 18, 1907, the two village dairies merged and the dairy cooperative Wiedergeltingen was founded. The decisive factor for this was the persuasion work of the pastor Benedikt Hebel, who was very open to the cooperative system. Construction of the dairy building began in June 1907.

In the spring of 1914, the place was connected to the electrical power supply.

In the municipal elections in June 1919, women in Wiedergeltingen also had the right to vote for the first time.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 1,035 to 1,411 by 376 inhabitants or 36.3%.

religion

Because the place belonged to the Premonstratensian Monastery of Steingaden, pastoral care was taken over by the priests of the convent until the monastery was secularized on March 25, 1803. The last of these Father Ludolf Schretter remained in the village as a village pastor until 1804.

A church was first documented in 1183, but there is also a document in this church with an uncertain date from the year 1179. The church was set on fire again in 1235 by the knights of Mattsies in the course of a dispute with the Steingaden monastery. The patron St. Nicholas ("Nicolai") is the first time in a confirmation Pope Gregory IX. mentioned on April 12, 1283. The foundations of the church that still exists today date to the 14th century, the choir was built around 1500, while the nave was completed around 1700. The high altar was taken in 1671 by Gottfried and Gotthilf Eisele from Marktoberdorf. In 1683 the altar leaves were renewed. In 1787 the nave was rebuilt; the ceiling painting, signed and dated by Johann Josef Huber, dates from this period. In 1872 the large altarpiece and the pictures of the two side altars, as they still exist today, were put up; all three paintings are by Johann Kaspar, Obergünzburg. After an "Ave Maria" bell hung in the tower as early as 1508 and further bells were purchased in 1666, four new bells from the Fritz Hamm bell foundry in Augsburg were picked up and installed in Buchloe on April 27, 1903. From 1921 to 1922, the nave was finally extended to the west by an extension based on plans by Michael Kurz , whereby the western entrance was replaced by two portals facing north and south. In 1928 and 1969, the church and the outside area were further renovated, during the latter of which the foundations of the medieval predecessor building were exposed.

Of the bells purchased in 1903, three had to be delivered on October 21, 1942 for war production; only the little Benedictine bell remained on the tower. After the war, three new bells from the Czudnochowsky foundry in Erding were purchased on August 14, 1949 ; their names are Nikolaus, Joseph and Antonius.

From March 20, 1902 until his appointment as cathedral capitular in Augsburg in 1918, Benedikt Hebel , who later became a member of the Reichstag at the center, was pastor in Wiedergeltingen. He stimulated u. a. the merger of the two village dairies to form the dairy cooperative in Wiedergeltingen.

A small chapel has existed near the Wiedergeltinger mill since 2011. The local Catholic parish is a member of the parish community in Türkheim.

education

In 1999 the following institutions existed:

• Kindergarten St. Nikolaus (sponsored by the Catholic Church): 50 kindergarten places with 46 children
• Elementary school: one with eight teachers and 159 students (elementary school)

There is evidence of a school on site since the 17th century. While teaching was initially carried out in the sacristan's apartment (most recently in house no. 12 of Josef Zimmermann), a schoolroom was set up in 1808 in the old Zehentstadel in Styria . From 1818 there was also a school and teaching garden, which, however, was left to the community shepherd Hiazint Dolch for free use for the cultivation of fruit trees. This practice was reprimanded in 1831 by the district court of Türkheim and referred to a planned new school building. In 1833/1834 a school was built on the site of the demolished Zehentstadels, initially with a hall for seven classes. In the later years numerous renovations took place; a second school hall was set up in 1883. During this time, the school was divided into workday and Sunday / holiday classes as usual. For the first seven years, the pupils attended the weekday school, then three years later the holiday school, which only consisted of a few hours.

As early as 1913, under Mayor Lutzenberger, the community bought a piece of land for a new school building; However, this was prevented by the First World War. From May 1939 a new school with two classrooms, a gym, a teacher's apartment and a community office based on designs by David Eberle took place there. The inauguration of the so-called New School took place in September 1942. In the years after the Second World War, the number of pupils at the elementary school increased, and later the children from Irsingen and Amberg started school there. Therefore, the old school had to be put back into operation with two classrooms.

In 1994 the new school was demolished again and replaced by a larger facility with six classrooms, various multi-purpose rooms, a gym and outdoor sports facilities. During this construction project, a buried cistern was discovered, which may have belonged to the Berchfrit on the Weiherwiese mentioned in 1864 . The old school was converted into the town hall in 2001 and embedded in an ensemble of a village square with a fountain.

Currently there is the St. Nikolaus Kindergarten in Wiedergeltingen, which is run by the Catholic Church and is housed in the former rectory. Originally the chief judge's office of the Hofmark of Steingaden monastery stood at this point, which was abolished with the secularization. In 1872 this building was demolished and replaced by the rectory that still exists today. After Anton Klotz had not had a new pastor in Wiedergeltingen since 1965, the rectory was rented for a few years until a kindergarten with two groups was opened there in 1994 after renovations.

The Catholic day care center St. Nikolaus Wiedergeltingen includes (as of 2019) in addition to the two groups in the main building, a day nursery with daycare on the upper floor of the town hall and a group of toddlers in the basement of the primary school. It has earned the title “House for Children”. The community is planning to expand the kindergarten by adding an extension over the next two years, so that crèche, day-care center and toddler group can also be accommodated at one location.
