Winzer is a village in the municipality of Aletshausen in the Swabian district of Günzburg .
location
The village is located about two and a half kilometers east of Aletshausen on the eastern edge of the Riedel between the valleys of the Kammel west and the Mindel east. The Riedel falls very steeply towards the Mindeltal. Winzer is on the GZ 30 district road . The village is connected to the main town of the municipality via this and Bundesstraße 16 , which the county road meets north of Aletshausen. South of Winzer is the source of the approximately 18 km long Haselbach which flows into the Kammel near Naichen (municipality of Neuburg an der Kammel ) . The brook flows in an arc around the village to the west. At 583 m above sea level NN Winzer is the second highest village in the district of Günzburg - only the Waltenhausen district of Weiler is higher.
Place name
When the place was first mentioned in a document, it was called "Winzur", which means something like "to the winemakers, winegrowers". The name suggests that during the medieval climatic optimum on the steep slopes that sloped towards the Mindeltal valley, wine was grown, which could have been possible with the climate of the time.
history
Winzer was first mentioned in a document in 1067. The place probably belonged initially to the neighboring Hasberg lordship, which was bought by the Augsburg bishopric before 1316 . In 1550, some goods in winegrowers went to the Edelstetten women's monastery as fiefs , the rest stayed with the Augsburg monastery. This situation remained good 250 years to the place in the wake of secularization to Bayern came.
As a result of the regional reform on May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality, to which the neighboring village of Gaismarkt also belonged, was incorporated into Aletshausen.
Attractions
The Catholic parish church of St. Michael can be seen from afar , as is the Fugger Castle Kirchheim , which is located on the eastern edge of the Mindeltal valley . The choir and the tower of the church were built in the middle and towards the end of the 15th century, the neo-Romanesque nave in 1860. The predecessor of this nave was from the 1730s. The new building of the nave was probably necessary every time because of the danger of landslides. The interior of the church was changed several times. Between the years 1720 to 1734 the church, which was presumably held in the Gothic style , was furnished in baroque style. In the 19th century this equipment was replaced by a neo-Romanesque one. In the years 1936/37 there was a strong purification, which makes the interior of the church seem rather simple today.
In addition to the parish church, the parsonage , built in 1730/31 and expanded 15 years later, is also worth seeing, which was very richly furnished for a relatively small village. There are stucco ceilings in almost all rooms inside . In the garden with an orchard meadow there is a summer house.
Haseltal trail
In winter, the so-called Haseltalloipe is groomed west of the village along the Haselbach if the snow depth is appropriate . If the snow conditions permit, the trail is extended north to the GZ 7 district road (Niederraunau − Mindelzell) . Tracks are prepared for skating and classic styles. The cross-country skiing championship takes place on the trail every year.
Compared to the rest of the area of the district of Günzburg, the plateau near Winzer is particularly suitable for creating a cross-country ski trail, as the greatest snow depth is often measured there. In the northern part of the tracked route, which is no longer so high, the snow also lasts for a relatively long time, as the trail there runs in the narrow Hasel valley, which is shaded by forests.
