Heiligenberg was entitled to the lower court, tax and military sovereignty. However, the count's rights owned the county of Sigmaringen . In 1806 Schwäblishausen became Baden .

Zell was mentioned as Celle in the 13th century . The name can probably be traced back to the time when Swabia was Christianized by Benedictines , when cell churches were founded all over the country. In the course of history there has been a nomenclature differentiation to “Zell above the Andelsbach” , from which “Zell am Andelsbach” became.

From 1809, Zell am Andelsbach and Schwäblishausen were assigned to the Pfullendorf District Office in the Baden Seekreis as a municipality. Although Schwäblishausen was a municipality of the Pfullendorf district office, the mediatized Prince zu Fürstenberg was named as a registrar of Schwäblishausen until 1848 .

In 1934 the parish of Zell am Andelsbach was formed from the parish village of Zell and the farming village of Schwäblishausen, which was an independent parish of the Überlingen district from January 1, 1939 until it was dissolved on January 1, 1973 . In the course of the district reform of Baden-Württemberg , Zell am Andelsbach was added to the city of Pfullendorf. Since then, Zell and Schwäblishausen have belonged to the Sigmaringen district.

Culture and sights

Buildings

  • The Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul on the hill of the Kirchberg characterizes the landscape to a large extent. It goes back to the Romanesque period and its oldest part dates from before 1275. In 1880/83 the church had to be expanded after the village of Zell had grown significantly until it was consecrated in 1887 . Together with the churchyard and walling , it forms a whole in accordance with the Monument Protection Act. The massive, plastered sacred building is a simple hall church with a flat wooden ceiling, the gable roof of which marks a clear east-west orientation, with a transept in front, which ends on three sides with a stepped gable. The choir tower also has a gable roof and has bell and time display. On December 10, 1950, the then Archbishop of Freiburg, Wendelin Rauch , consecrated two new bells. The organ from 1975 comes from the organ building workshop Wilhelm Schwarz & Sohn . The furnishings include two sculptures of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, the church patron. They are located directly on the east wall of the church under the cross and are attributed to the Swabian Ulm master from Zell am Andelsbach . Next to it there are relief representations of the Saints Barbara and Catherine, as well as in a niche behind a lattice a "Christ in the dungeon on the chains". A statue of the Virgin Mary and a statue of Wendelinus are located on the former side altars of the parish church. The latter is testimony to a very lively pilgrimage to Saint Wendelin, who is still venerated in Zell today. When it is dark, the church is impressively illuminated.
  • Next to the church is the imposing parsonage of the former parish of Zell am Andelsbach from 1757. The yellow-painted building with a beautifully designed parish garden, striking mansard hipped roof and green shutters offers the parish large space for community activities and serves as a retirement home for Felix Kreuzberger, former pastor in Scheer. In the 1980s, the then ailing building was about to be torn down. Ultimately, the decision was made to carry out a comprehensive renovation, which cost around 800,000 German marks.
