geography

Wittlekofen is located on a hill between the Steinatal and the Ehrenbachtal .

history

The name is probably derived from the court of Witilinc . The oldest documented mentions were made around 1100 with Wolfganch de Witilinchoven , around 1102 with Bertoldus de Witilinchoven and Geroldus and Bertholdus de Witilinchoven (1102), by the Allerheiligen monastery , Geroldus de Wittelinchoven is mentioned in the Rotulus Sanpetrinus around 1111 and 1112 respectively . A plebanus is mentioned for the first time in 1246 .

The place initially belonged to the Lords of Roggenbach , Ministeriale der Zähringer . In the 13th century the Lords of Krenkingen took over the rule. In 1482 they sold to the Counts of Lupfen . In 1582 Wittlekofen came to the Lords of Mörsperg , who sold it to the St. Blasien monastery in 1602, making the place part of the imperial rule of Bonndorf . With the dissolution of the St. Blasien monastery in the secularization , Wittlekofen came to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became an independent municipality. On August 1, 1973 Wittlekofen was incorporated into the town of Bonndorf in the Black Forest.

Religion and church

Chapel of St. Nikolaus in Wittlekofen

In the years 1360 and 1370, a village chapel together with a castle chapel at the Steinegg Castle , which belongs as a branch to the Vermatingen parish, today's Bettmaringen , is mentioned for the first time. In 1592 a little church was consecrated in Wittlekofen. The chapel is dedicated to St. Nicholas . In 1766 the chapel received a baroque roof turret . The bell ringer service was provided in the "Kehrweg" until 1839, which means that every citizen was obliged to ring the bell every day from time to time. Originally the cemetery was arranged around the chapel. When the community came to the Grand Duchy of Baden, it was closed and a new cemetery was built on the outskirts. Wittlekofen was part of the Bettmaringen parish as a branch parish. Only with the establishment of the pastoral care unit Bonndorf-Wutach did Wittlekofen also come to Bonndorf ecclesiastically.
