geography
Geographical location
Zimmer is about seven kilometers east of Schwäbisch Gmünd in the Rems valley at the confluence of the Krümmlingsbach into the Rems. It is located between Hussenhofen and Böbingen an der Rems . Other neighborhoods are Bargau , Beiswang, Iggingen and Bettringen .
The Hirschmühle residential area is one of the rooms .
history
In provincial Roman times, a Roman road ran through what is now the district , connecting the Schirenhof fort with the Unterböbingen fort and finally ending in Aalen . Unearthed ceramics are evidence of settlement activity in Roman times. In the absence of structural findings, no statements can be made about the type of settlement.
Zimmer is believed to be first mentioned in a document in 839, when Emperor Ludwig the Pious allowed the Abbot of Fulda to exchange 10 abandoned Huben in " Zimbra " from the royal vassal Helmerich for goods in Steinheim am Albuch and Hammerstadt .
The Count Palatine of Swabia furnished their Anhausen monastery in the early 12th century with their goods in " Cimbren ". However, both the “Zimbra” from 839 and the “Cimbren” from the Dillinger family cannot be identified beyond doubt as today's Zimmer.
In 1333 knight Konrad von Rechberg and Hohenrechberg sold the last Rechberg property in the form of his rights and goods, including the bailiwick and the proprietors, to a citizen of Gmünd. In 1324, Walter the old Kurz donated, among other things, 2½ Malter grain from his fields in rooms to the hospital as alms.
The Gotteszell monastery and the peasantry from Zimmer signed a contract in 1372, which regulates the reading of a Friday mass in the chapel in Zimmer by the pastor of Iggingen, whose branch was Zimmer. 1440 this contract is confirmed. The church patronage was initially in the hands of the Lords of Rechberg, and later at Gotteszell Monastery. During the Reformation , the former Lorch subjects were parish in the Protestant parish of Oberböbingen, while the Catholic subjects in Gmünd remained in the parish of Iggingen along with the chapel.
In 1543, the village regulations recorded the imperial city of Schwäbisch Gmünd and the Lorch monastery as the sole local lords in rooms.
In 1587, a flaud forge is mentioned at the foot of the Schmiedeberg , which processed scrap iron for the then important scythe forge in Gmünd.
In 1802, Hussenhofen and Gmünd became part of Württemberg and, with rooms, were added to the Böbingen mayor's office. In 1819, Hussenhofen was transferred to the newly formed Herlikofen community . Zimmer and Hirschmühle were not incorporated from Oberböbingen to Herlikofen until April 1, 1938.
Up until 1917, Zimmer received its drinking water from the local Bronnwiesenquelle , before the place was connected to the state water supply via the Mutlanger water supply group. From 1920, Zimmer was connected to the power grid of the Ueberlandwerk Jagstkreis .
With the construction of a new residential area in Gewann Lachgang , the transition from an agricultural hamlet to a residential community began in the 1950s. In 1968 the kindergarten was inaugurated in the village.
When in 1968 the citizens of the Herlikofen community voted on incorporation into Schwäbisch Gmünd, there was a stalemate in both Zimmer and Hirschmühle. While both the citizens of Hussenhofen and the residents of Herlikofen voted with clear majorities for the incorporation into Schwäbisch Gmünd, the opinion of the rooms and the Hirschmühle was divided. There 107 residents voted for and 107 residents against the incorporation.
On January 1, 1969, Herlikofen was incorporated into Schwäbisch Gmünd. Hussenhofen became an independent district with rooms, Burgholz, Hirschmühle and Birkhof. Zimmer and Hirschmühle were guaranteed a seat in the local council as part of the false selection of a part of town. In the local council of Hussenhofen-Zimmer, rooms has 2 seats.
Deer mill
Hirschmühle was first mentioned in a document in 1284 as the property of the Lorch Monastery, when the abbot and convent of the Lorch Monastery Hürschmann gave the younger the Hirschmühle as a fief. In 1870 there were 13 residents in Hirschmühle, in 1900 30 residents. Since the 1950s, the former Mühlenplatz became a commercial site with a sawmill. Hirschmühle has developed into its own hamlet by building a housing estate .
