Wimmental is a suburb of the city of Weinsberg ( Heilbronn district , Baden-Württemberg ). The former community was incorporated into the city of Weinsberg on January 1, 1975. It has 637 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2015) and an area of 2.80 km² and forms a separate village there .
geography
Wimmental lies in the upper valley of the Sülzbach (formerly called Gerbersbach in Wimmental), a side valley of the Weinsberger valley . The next places are only a few kilometers away the to Bretzfeld belonging Dimbach in the Northeast, which to Obersulm belonging Sülzbach to the South and also belongs to the vineyard Grantschen in the southwest.
history
Wimmental was first mentioned in a document in 1254; it belonged to the Lords of Weinsberg . In 1441 it went to the Electoral Palatinate , which gave it as a fief to the Lords of Neuenstein , who sold it to the Schöntal Monastery in 1487 . In 1504 the supremacy went to Württemberg . As the property of the Schöntal Monastery, Wimmental took part in the Reformation , but was re-Catholicized in 1628 . As a result, the majority of Catholics still live in Wimmental today, unlike in the core town of Weinsberg and its other suburbs.
After the abbey of Schöntal was abolished in 1802/03, Wimmental came into complete possession of Württemberg and was initially assigned to the Heilbronn Oberamt from 1803 to 1806 . During the further implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Wimmental was assigned to the Oberamt Weinsberg in 1807 . An administrative reform carried out by the People's State of Württemberg in 1926 led to the dissolution of the Oberamt Weinsberg, so that Wimmental came back to the Oberamt Heilbronn, from which the district of the same name emerged in 1938 . In 1939 there were 276 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 345. Since the place had become part of the American occupation zone after the Second World War , it had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was merged into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
As part of the municipal reform from 1970, it was initially planned to let Wimmental merge into the newly created municipality of Obersulm . This met with rejection because the place had always oriented itself down the valley. A citizens' meeting on March 11, 1973 showed that the residents were clearly in favor of joining the city of Weinsberg. A citizens' hearing on January 20, 1974 confirmed this with a majority of 86% (with a participation of only 38%). The integration contract was signed on March 7, 1974, and the voluntary integration into the city of Weinsberg took effect on January 1, 1975.
Religions
Wimmental first went through the Reformation as a property of the Schöntal Monastery and later re-Catholicization in 1628. Therefore, the majority of the inhabitants are still Catholic today. For them there is the parish of St. Oswald, which, in addition to Wimmental, is responsible for Grantschen and the two neighboring parishes of Weinsberg, Ellhofen and Lehrensteinsfeld , and has around 1,600 members. (Status: 2013) Together with the Catholic parish of St. Josef in Weinsberg, it has formed the "Lower Weinsberger Tal" pastoral care unit since 2002 . The Protestant Christians in Wimmental belong to the Evangelical Church Community of Sülzbach , which has around 1,650 members, 170 of them from Wimmental (as of 2013). According to figures from the Weinsberg city administration, as of June 30, 2015, 224 residents of Wimmental are Catholic and 198 Protestant.
politics
Local council and local council
Two seats are reserved for representatives of Wimmental in the Weinsberg municipal council. Since Weinsberg chooses a part of the town after the Unechte , the Wimmental representatives are not only elected by the inhabitants of Wimmental, but by all the Weinsbergers.
At each local election, a local council with six members is elected by the eligible population of Wimmental , who can be heard on important matters affecting the locality. Since the 2009 election, the Free Voters' Association Weinsberg 1950 (FWV) and the CDU have each been represented by three members in the Wimmental local council. There were no other nominations other than FWV or CDU.
Mayor and mayor
At the suggestion of Ortschaftsrats out of Weinberger council elects a volunteer for each village mayor . In Wimmental, this has been Reiner Michel since 2014 (as of 2014).
The last mayor of Wimmental before incorporation was from 1968 to 1975 the long-time CDU member of the Bundestag Egon Susset , who was also the first mayor from 1975 to 1977. His successors in this office were Rudolf Hörbe from 1977 to 1997 and Hugo Baum from 1997 to 2014.
badges and flags
The Wimmental coat of arms shows: In silver on a green ground on a red pole, a green vine with blue grapes, covered at the bottom with the golden capital letter W. The flag colors of Wimmental are blue and white.
The coat of arms was added to the community stamp after 1930 and goes back to a colored drawing in a copy of the village rules from 1566 made in 1692, which the Schöntal bailiff and clergyman Joseph Müller gave to the town for the new year 1692.
Culture and sights
Buildings and monuments
The former Baroque office building of the Schöntal Monastery, the so-called Pflegehof , built in 1678 and expanded in 1748 , now houses the Catholic rectory. The parsonage is half- timbered, the courtyard wall is adorned with baroque sculptures. Directly opposite is the former Schöntalische Kelter from 1581.
In the stone house , a building from around 1600, the Catholics held their services from 1650 to 1686 because of difficulties with the Württemberg rule.
The Catholic Church of St. Oswald was built from 1845 to 1849 in the neo-Romanesque style in place of a smaller chapel from 1453.
Above the village in the vineyards on the Altenberg, the Ave Maria chapel was built in 1854 and inaugurated on October 10 of the same year. It was donated in 1852 by the winemaker Josef Sebastian Reistenbach (1759-1854). The approximately 7 m long and 4 m wide sacred building has a tower-like structure and a bell. In addition, a picture of St. Aloysius was donated in 1894 and the picture of St. Joseph with baby Jesus in 1895.
In 1900 the Kapellenberg was supplemented by a way of the cross up to the chapel, which was donated by Franz B. Harlacher. Harlacher also donated a crucifixion group at the chapel: Jesus and the thieves on the cross, which was created by the sculptor Kaiser, Iggingen, for around 2,000 marks.
