Wutöschingen is a municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg ( Germany ). The entire community was formed from five localities in 1975 as part of the community reform . The Wutöschingen small center was shaped early on during the industrialization of the Upper Rhine region by an aluminum plant and the necessary infrastructure.

Wutöschingen is located in the central Wutachtal on the federal road 314 and a section of the Wutachtalbahn that was reactivated in 2018 .

geography

The community with its five districts is located on the southeastern edge of the Black Forest on the course of the Wutach , which rises on the Feldberg and flows into the Upper Rhine near the district town of Waldshut-Tiengen . The valley location delimits the Black Forest foothills and the northern mountain range of the southern border . The Wutach is also the border to the Klettgau landscape to the east and south .

In the environment, which is characterized by forest and agricultural use, there are two commercial districts, screened off from the living areas, mainly with companies in the aluminum industry.

Community structure and neighborhood

The municipality of Wutöschingen includes, in addition to the current main town of the same name, Wutöschingen, the villages of Horheim , Schwerzen , Degernau and Ofteringen .

Neighboring communities are in the northwest Ühlingen-Birkendorf , in the north Eggingen , in the east Klettgau , in the south Lauchringen . In the west, Wutöschingen borders on the area of ​​the city of Waldshut-Tiengen . The border with Switzerland is nearby. Since the municipal reform there has been an agreed administrative partnership with Eggingen.

local community

Due to the aluminum works with the new workers and their families, the farming village of Wutöschingen was concerned with social issues at an early stage, so that administration and population were closely intertwined through problem-solving. This gave the place greater importance in the surrounding area, a development that did not make municipal unification easy in 1975, but has leveled off again today.

Communal activity

School project

A major effort by the community over the years was the construction of the community school, the building of which was directly coordinated with an innovative concept of school and teaching organization.

This is particularly evident in the White House , which implemented the large space requirement when defining individual workstations for the students (today: “learning partners”) by means of a (financially advantageous) solution 'in height instead of in width'.

“Spatial design (we understand) as the 'third educator'; because the spatial design of the learning environment with the creation of a feel-good atmosphere in our learning houses [...] was an indispensable basis for the success of our project. "

- Georg Eble, mayor
Medical center
Medical center (with pharmacy) in the center of the village
  • Wutöschingen countered the problematic medical care in rural areas with the construction of a "medical center" in the center of the village. In November 2018 the community succeeded in “winning a doctor”. The three-story building with underground parking, two practices and the pharmacy should be completed in September 2019.
  • The " AWO  Seniorenzentrum Sonnengarten" with nursing home, built in 1993 and opposite the medical center, is one of the beneficiaries: "We urgently need home visits that no doctor from another community can do." The center with 50 nursing places and 30 apartments is fully booked and has long waiting lists. The condition of the system is perfect, except for small things that will be fixed in 2019.
  • Roswitha Stoll's weather station is also part of a nationwide weather observation network, who “has been recording and recording the weather in Ofteringen since 1994 as a weather observer for the German Weather Service (DWD) […] and] as a thank you for her 25 years of voluntary work Weather service badge awarded ”.

politics

Wutoeschingen generated on the Raumschaft strong industrial development high revenues that were invested in the expansion immediately - in recent years, especially in the "secondary-school program" and up to date - with the inclusion of reserves - in the expansion of the industrial zone near Horheim.

Municipal council

In Wutöschingen, the municipal council is elected using the spurious selection of a part of town. The number of local councils can change due to overhang mandates . The municipal council consists of the elected voluntary councilors and the mayor as chairman. The mayor is entitled to vote in the municipal council. The local elections on May 26, 2019 led to the following final result. The turnout was 53.9% (2014: 44.2%).

coat of arms

Blazon : "A five-spoke black mill wheel in gold over a lowered blue wavy bar."

The new municipal coat of arms, which was approved by the district on January 1, 1977, takes up the mill wheel motif of the village of Wutöschingen. The wave bar expresses the location of the community on the Wutach.

The coat of arms of the village of Wutöschingen shows a split shield above in silver a half eight-spoke black mill wheel at the division, below in red a golden ploughshare. The place took on the coat of arms in 1906. The picture was found on a coat of arms stone from 1611 on the village chapel.

The flag is striped blue and yellow.

mayor

Georg Eble has been mayor since 1999. In connection with the establishment and development of the Alemannenschule, the Swiss school developer Peter Fratton wrote: “The most important thing is a mayor like Mr. Eble, who ensures that the political will is implemented and then gets involved, as many people do when they build their own houses know: The details make the whole thing. "

Georg Eble is chairman of the supervisory board of Volksbank Klettgau-Wutöschingen .

household

The 2018 budget with a total volume of 34.3 million euros reached a record high, which was due to the investment amount of 16.23 million euros (from 5.4 in 2017); primarily through the expansion of the Horheim industrial park. The reserves shrank from over 11 million euros to a remainder of 4115 euros. The new borrowing of 3.5 million euros was also high. "Nevertheless, the council was in a positive mood and passed the budget unanimously."

  • The electricity network operator in the Hochrhein regional plant (RWH) made a loss at the 2017 annual financial statements, which resulted from network takeovers. A small loss is also expected in 2018 due to renovation investments, but a profit is expected in 2019 due to increasing lease income. The Hochrhein regional plant was founded in December 2012 and has bought back the power grids from ED netze GmbH. "The limited partners are: Municipality of Wutöschingen and Municipality of Lauchringen each with 32.45 percent, Badenova Freiburg (25.10 percent) and Stadtwerke Waldshut-Tiengen (ten percent)."
Building areas
  • When it was determined in June 2017, the 'Grünweg' building area in the Schwerzen district with 16 building sites and the planned expansion was developed by May 2018. The area has a separation system for waste water (mixed water pipe).
  • In April 2019, the local council approved the development of a new building area 'Mausäckern-Unter den Langwiesen 2' in Wutöschingen towards Schwerzen with "27 building sites for single-family houses, seven building sites for semi-detached or single-family houses, two building sites for six terraced houses each and three building sites for multi-family houses" .
Renovations

For the complete renovation of the primary school in Degernau, the municipality is providing 1.4 million euros of its own funds, plus a state grant of almost 400,000 euros. There are 710,000 euros in state grants for the Alemannenschule Wutöschingen.

industrial Estate

The previously 63,000 square meter industrial area near the village of Horheim was expanded by 14.5 hectares by a municipal council resolution at the beginning of May 2018. The required direct connection to the federal highway 314 has not yet been fully clarified, as this is also planned to be extended to three lanes. The development work began on November 13, 2018; the costs (excluding land acquisition) are 5.5 million euros. "As a compensatory measure for the expansion of the industrial area, the 'Stockenweg' (from Schwerzen towards Küssaberg) [as a dirt road for agricultural traffic] is being dismantled."

Community institutions

The municipality covers 26.47 km²; 7.58 km² are forested, of which 5.5 km² are community property.

Supply and energy
  • In addition to the administrative community, Wutöschingen and Eggingen form the Mittleres Wutachtal wastewater association .
  • As a partner together with the municipality of Lauchringen, the Stadtwerke Waldshut-Tiengen and the badenova Freiburg Operation of the Regionalwerk Hochrhein (RWH) since the buyback in 2012 with its own power grid.
  • In order to secure the long-term water supply, the municipality entered into a public law agreement to investigate the groundwater conditions in the Klettgau channel .
Entrance area of ​​the senior citizens' residence
Social facilities

The senior citizens' residential complex (AWO Seniorenzentrum Sonnengarten ) in the town center was decided by the municipality as an alternative to the "conventional (n) form of housing senior citizens in retirement homes (discussed)" and the construction in 1988 by the municipal council. Construction began in March 1993 and the first residents moved in in October 1994. "The senior citizens' residential complex supervised by Wutöschinger is [...] a showcase project with great charisma for the entire district." Today there are 30 residential units, a meeting place with numerous offers and events, and a diverse environment.

In the meantime, numerous other communities have followed suit with similarly conceived projects.

schools

In the village of Wutöschingen there is the Alemannen elementary school with an elementary school branch in Degernau and the Auwiesenschule as another elementary school in Horheim.

The Alemannenschule in Wutöschingen is a community school that will include a grammar school upper level from 2019 - in Baden-Württemberg there are only corresponding facilities in Tübingen and Konstanz. The new building required for the upper school will be erected by the community, starting in the new school year 2019/2020 with an interim solution. The plans for the extension are already in progress, "in the coming school year the first eleventh grade will begin at the ASW [...] in the next few years around 20 new high school teachers will be hired."

The Alemannenschule was among the 15 finalists for the German School Prize in 2019 . On June 5, 2019, the school was awarded one of the five more equal prizes following the main prize, each endowed with 25,000 euros in prize money.

The media library in the center of Wutöschingen
Media library

The forerunner of the media library was the library, which was opened in April 1982 in the Rathauskeller and “developed into a real hit with the public from year to year, as evidenced by the constantly increasing number of visitors.” It was also unique in the district the extension to a video library (1989). In 2011, the municipality quickly grabbed it when a grocery store closed in the town center - with the plan to bring the library out of the basement as a “media library” together with a privately operated café after 30 years. The inventory includes 12,000 books and AV media. The media library is popular as a forum for numerous 'reading hours' by well-known book authors, with a variety of events for children and exhibitions by local artists.

economy

Industry

In addition to business operations in various sectors, the village of Wutöschingen has been home to Aluminum-Werke Wutöschingen (AWW) for over a century and thus the origin of today's concentration of other companies in the aluminum industry. With 600 employees, AWW is still the municipality's largest employer. The AWW is thus one of the five largest employers in the Waldshut district. The annual turnover is around 180 million euros. In February 2019, the AWW municipal council approved the demolition of the old production hall and the reconstruction of an expanded production hall for the installation of the new press 8. "The AWW intends to renew itself in several construction stages by 2025."

In November 2018 , the company Stobag-Alufinish ( STOBAG AG ) built a central, 8000 square meter logistics and storage hall in the Horheim industrial park . The Wutöschingen-based company reserved the next 16,000 square meters in the new industrial park. This is intended to centralize the entire company system. Stobag-Alufinish has 200 permanent employees and wants to promote "housing construction for affordable rental apartments" in the local community.

The aluminum industry is the "defining industrial force of the community."

Transport infrastructure
New platform on the B 314 traffic axis

The federal highway 314 , which bypasses the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen, directs traffic to the A 81 motorway in the direction of Stuttgart and Munich runs through the municipality . The former route of the B 314 through several localities has meanwhile been shifted to bypasses.

The railway line running parallel to the road (and the Wutach) was shut down in the post-war period and since 1973 it served as a feeder to the touristically attractive Wutach Valley Railway from Weizen to Blumberg .

Starting in September 2018, the Blumberg railway company , leased by Deutsche Bahn operator of the section of the Wutachtalbahn, from Lauchringen station to Weizen, with the support of the neighboring communities, set up a 'school service' running several times a day. Wutöschingen built a new platform.

The Catholic Church in Wutöschingen

Parishes

Since Wutöschingen belonged to the parish Schwerzen for centuries and was only separated from it in 1937, the place did not have its own church, but only one built in 1591 and dedicated to Maria Magdalena and Jakob the Elder. Consecrated chapel that served the congregations until 1945. It was demolished in 1991. The bell of the chapel stands in front of the new church today.

1954 to 1959 the new Catholic church was built. Since 2015, the Catholic parish has formed a joint pastoral care unit with the Catholic parish of Klettgau. The pastor is Thomas Mitzkus. On August 13, 2015, the 300th anniversary of the consecration of the Church of the Assumption of Mary was celebrated in Degernau.

The Protestant parish founded in Wutöschingen in 1956 (today the Wutachtal parish together with the Protestant parish in Stühlingen) maintains the Peace Church in the Wutöschingen district , which was consecrated in 1957. In 1980 it was completely renovated. David Brunner has been the pastor since July 1, 2015.

Tourist profile

The Wutöschingen places are not geared towards tourism, but their location is favorable for various tourist activities - there are undeveloped forest areas and paths along the river in the immediate vicinity; in the immediate vicinity to the north the Wutach Gorge , the museum route of the Sauschwänzlebahn (a former strategic bypass) and on the Swiss side in Schleitheim (the former Roman town of Juliomago ) a thermal bath museum . On the left of the Wutach the old town of Stühlingen with Hohenlupfen Castle , one of the starting points of the peasant war .

In the south and east lies the German-Swiss landscape of Klettgau with the Küssaburg - bounded by the Upper Rhine to northern Switzerland - to the east is the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen and to the west via Lauchringen you can reach Waldshut-Tiengen with its traffic-calmed old town.

The Trotte was in operation until 1910
Sights in the localities
  • The former Trotte from 1566 is located in the main street of Wutöschingen. The building used as a club house received an exterior renovation in 2019.
  • Like Wutöschingen, Horheim also belonged to the Schwerzen parish for centuries and therefore had no church. The Antonius Chapel, consecrated in 1695, is located here. Every year on January 17th, a pilgrimage service is held on the feast of St. Anthony . A previous chapel stood at the “courtyards” in the former village of Lütisloh and was consecrated to St. Margaret. It was removed. There is also the small Dorneck chapel built in 1805 by the forester Johann Baptist Vogelsang. It was fully restored in 1988.
Classicist pulpit with reliefs by Johann Friedrich Vollmar , Schwerzen Church
  • An ancient settlement is located near Schwerzen on Semberg, which is located directly at the village : "It is assumed that there must have been a ring castle there, which may also have served as a refuge for the valley dwellers [...]." Region it could go back to the Celts or their predecessors. Today a way of the cross leads from the chapel at the foot of the mountain to the hill. In the chapel, which was set up in 2002, there is the alabaster coat of arms of von Beck, which was taken over from the antipendium of the former castle chapel.
Willmendinger Castle
  • The Maria-Himmelfahrtskirche is located in Degernau on a hill. However, one suspects two previous buildings. The parish itself is one of the oldest in the Wutach Valley. In the church there is a pilgrimage Madonna and one of the oldest bells in the region. It was cast in Schaffhausen in 1300. On August 13, 2015, the 300th anniversary of the consecration was celebrated.
  • The menhir and especially the dolmen (presumed grave site) on the road from Degernau to Klettgau are of great historical importance . The dolmen makes an assignment to the megalithic culture possible. There are various hypotheses about the function of the circular opening - the matter of the "soul hole" is considered a more romantic interpretation.
  • In the district of Ofteringen is the Marienburg monastery , which was only built in the 19th century. was set up in the former castle of Ofteringen. It is still run by the Benedictine nuns today . Natural medicines and spices are produced in the monastery. The monastery is supported by the Marienburg Monastery Friends Group.
  • The Castle Willmendingen , in the old Alternative resort of Schwerzen, was built in 1609 by Johann Jakob Beck , bailiff in Klettgau, Imperial notary and Landschreiber of Vaduz. Franz Xaver von Beck sold the palace to Prince Josef II. Von Schwarzenberg in 1801 or 1803 , and the Prince von Schwarzenberg again to Baden in 1812. In 1923 the municipality bought it. Today it is privately owned and modern apartments have been furnished.

History (overview)

The community of Wutöschingen, which was newly formed in 1975, is a modern administrative unit and thus only the result of historical development after the end of the Second World War. With the community reform, Horst Albicker became mayor (1975–1999), and Georg Eble has been mayor since 1999.

The village is called "Öschinge" in the local dialect. Öschingen was also the name of the village in modern times from 1600 to 1825.

In the previous centuries, this uniform history was only given within a broad framework, for example in the fact that the villages belonged to the Landgraviate of Stühlingen. At that time, however, the villages still had a large number of 'lesser lordships' and thus belonging to various noble families and monasteries through landed property.

What is unique, however, is an amalgamation to form the Wutental rulership , which dates back to the 13th century and is made up of the former main town in the area, Horheim, and the villages of Schwerzen, Willmendingen, Lüttisloh (today's “Höfe” near Horheim), Wutöschingen and Ofteringen from the Krenkinger family were. The exception to today's municipality was Degernau, which previously could get a relatively independent position.

Menhir from Degernau

Wutental changed hands frequently, but remained as a unit until 1806, when the smaller princes were dissolved into the Grand Duchy of Baden , in a “communal context”.

Old story

The ensemble of the Menhir von Degernau with the associated stone grave ( dolmen ) also stands out from prehistory as a regional specialty. It is only gradually becoming known that there is a whole '(building) series' of these monuments from the megalithic culture along the High Rhine.

Semberg from the direction of Schloßbückle

The Celtic hilltop castle on the Semberg near Schwerzen is almost as important in the region , as ramparts can still be identified here. Nearby is the Schloßbückle , whose affiliation is difficult to determine - an unusual assumption is that it could have been a Roman fortified complex that was used to observe the Celtic Sembergs.

Romans

Map showing the Roman Army Road in the region

15 BC Two armies had occupied the territories of northern Switzerland during the Alpine campaigns under Augustus and the XIX. (19th) Roman legion near Bad Zurzach / Rheinheim or the Upper Rhine. A permanent camp was set up near Dangstetten and subjected the Celts who settled in the region - the destruction of the oppidum near Altenburg / Rheinau in the Rheinschleife testifies to this. The Romans probably occupied today's Klettgau as far as the Wutach as a border line to the north. Political events in the empire and the defeat in the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD then delayed further expansion and only in the Black Forest campaign in 72/73 AD did Rome push the border further until finally the Limes line . The Roman city of Juliomagus (thermal bath museum) was built near Stühlingen / Schleitheim .

In the middle of the Wutach Valley there are hardly any finds that can be dated except for a bronze plaque in the Wutach, which has an independent and curious history:

According to a report in a regional Nazi party newspaper in 1937, the previous year schoolchildren had found metal leaves that they brought to their teacher in a car workshop in the village. Other parts of it had already been welded into a car engine, but after a curious history of search and rediscovery, the fragment of a bronze plaque was largely reconstructed:

“It could be a dedicatory inscription for members of the 7th , 11th and 14th Legion . The 7th Legion was stationed in Vindonissa (Windisch) near Brugg / CH; it was also subordinate to troops in the area of Arae Flaviae (Rottweil). [...] The creation of the panel can thus be dated to the time from 70-100 AD. "

The archaeologist Jürgen Trumm does not rate “the location in the middle of the Wutach Valley as a coincidence […], since this north-east-south-west running valley represents the natural connection to the upper Danube. The strategic importance of the Wutach Valley was already taken into account in Augustan times with the construction of the legionary camp in Dangstetten. "

The local researcher Horst Merkel also notes Roman coin finds in the area and also of ceramic parts in the Gewann Storchengarten in Wutöschingen.

Middle Ages and Modern Times

After the dissolution of the Roman Empire, Germanic multiple waves of attack and retreat from the high-Rhein-line in the 5th century. Chr., Populated now the Alemanni the country. At that time the villages with the ending '-ingen' emerged, later also the -heim-places under the Franks ; other names and endings can also go back to Celtic settlements (Schwerzen and Degernau).

The empires of the Merovingians and Carolingians followed and around 800 Charlemagne introduced the Gau division: Since the Wutach became the border between Klettgau and Alpgau , affiliations are difficult to determine, as older ownership structures defined the rulers in the villages.

Rule of Wutental

Since the rulers (aristocratic families), which were still predominantly local in the 12th and 13th centuries, grouped their territories as uniformly as possible, the (present-day) towns of Schwerzen, Willmendingen, Horheim, Lüttisloh (present-day “courtyards” near Horheim), Wutöschingen and Ofteringen became part of the aristocratic family the Krenkinger connected to the "Herrschaft Wutental". The Krenkinger owned Wutental until 1361. After the decline of this noble family, the rulership changed several times for a short time under different noble families.

In the 15th century, larger spheres of power formed, in the region, the Confederation , which was formed in what is now Switzerland, played an influential role.

The Wutach at the height of the industrial park near Horheim in the direction of Lauchringen. Straight line through the Tulla regulation, 1830.

Slowly the Middle Ages, the time of predominantly local relationships and disputes was over, the Carolingians had already ruled the Central European area for a time and according to the political (ruling) structures, wide economic relationships had formed and, above all, weapon technology developed, so that central Landscapes (and the Upper Rhine area was one of them) were covered with wars for centuries.

The defeat of the peasants in 1524/25 and the Thirty Years' War had a particularly devastating effect , entire regions often shared a common cruel fate.

Only with the formation of the great nation states - after the reorganization by Napoleon with the founding of the Grand Duchy of Baden - the 'army trains' with their looting, pillage and desecration were over. In other words, the modern forms of wars with their front formations spared the villages, at least in the southern Baden region, from complete destruction, massacres and often years of terror by hibernating armies or occupation troops.

When the French army marched along the German-Swiss border, Wutöschingen was surrendered without a fight on April 25, 1945. The aluminum works in Wutöschingen were almost completely dismantled by the French occupation administration in 1946/47.

Since the post-war period, there has been a relatively undisturbed development.

  1. “50% of general practitioners in the Waldshut district are over 60 years old. […] Two general practitioners from Wutöschingen retired in 2014. “A long, cost-intensive search across Germany had no results. It was only the offer of inclusion in the planning of a medical center that led the interested doctors to an applicant. Mayor Eble: "For us, Frau Doktor Schuh is like winning the lottery." (Sandra Holzwarth: Communities are building the medical future , Alb-Bote, November 10, 2018.)
  2. The exception to today's municipality was Degernau, which was in closer contact with the villages of today's Swiss Klettgau via the pass to Erzingen - the ancient connection is designated by a menhir as a waypoint - and thus retained a certain degree of independence on both sides could.
