history

Roman times: manor and Roman bath

Roman bath (shelter)

→ Main article : Roman bath (Wurmlingen)

In Wurmlingen there are the remains of a Roman manor and a Roman bath . At the time of the Great Migration , the Alemanni used this bath in connection with a wooden house, one of the rare specific uses of Roman facilities by the Teutons. The remains of the bath building are preserved under a protective house.

Middle Ages: Alemannic settlement and local foundation

In an Alemannic burial ground in the area of ​​today's railway station Wurmlingen Mitte, the spear blade from Wurmlingen was recovered in 1929 (when the railway line was expanded to two tracks at that time) . Wurmlingen was first mentioned in a document on March 30, 797 in a deed of donation from the St. Gallen monastery as "Wurmeringa". The name goes back to the proper name Wurmhari or Wurmheri (cf. -ingen ). Wurmlingen Castle stood on the district .

A historical connection to Wurmlingen near Rottenburg could not be proven for a long time. However, a document indicates a connection: the brothers Albert, Friederich and Heinrich von Wurmlingen, known as the Hohin, lords of Wurmlingen and ministerials to the Counts of Zollern , sold their vineyard in Pfaffenberg (Kapellenberg) to Wurmlingen near Rottenburg on December 7, 1252 with the consent of her master, Count Friedrich von Zollern , to the Kirchberg convent .

Early modern times: Konzenberg rule

Castle from 1602, now a school

During the early modern period , Wurmlingen was the central place of the Konzenberg rule (cf. Konzenberg Castle ), which was owned by the cathedral chapter of the Diocese of Constance and, in addition to Wurmlingen, also included several neighboring villages. This centuries-long membership of the cathedral chapter still shapes the townscape today with its castle and the neo-classical St. Gallus church next to the simple old farmhouses that have long been used as residential houses. In 1803 Wurmlingen and Konzenberg fell to Baden , then in 1806 to Württemberg , with the administration by the Tuttlingen District Office .

Modern times

St. Gallus Church from 1784

The rural character remained until the turn of the 20th century. Due to the strong growth of the leather processing and medical technology industry in nearby Tuttlingen since the completion of the Stuttgart – Tuttlingen – Singen railway , many residents have found jobs there. Notable industry developed in Wurmlingen itself only after the end of the Second World War, mostly from small-scale craft roots (graphic, paper processing industry, medical technology, automotive suppliers).

During the Baden-Württemberg regional reform in the early 1970s, Wurmlingen remained independent despite efforts by Tuttlingen to incorporate Wurmlingen. The favorable location on the outskirts of the prosperous industrial city of Tuttlingen and the growth of the local industrial companies enabled the municipality of Wurmlingen to develop prosperously with minimal per capita debt. The community has been debt free since 2002.

Events in recent history

→ Main article : Plane crash on July 27, 1934 near Tuttlingen

badges and flags

Blazon : "In gold, a standing, fire-breathing black dragon, turned to the left."

Justification for the coat of arms: The official seals used by the municipality in 1930 already contain the lindworm as a seal image, but without a shield. As a “talking” image for the place name, it was also suitable for a regular municipal coat of arms, the colors of which were determined by the municipality in 1935 at the suggestion of the Stuttgart archive department. The black and gold tinging is likely to have its model in the Württemberg colors. Wurmlingen, which belonged to the Konzenberg dominion until 1802, was swapped from Baden to Württemberg in 1806.
