Tennenbronn

History

The first historic occurrence of the term "Tennenbronn mit Kirche" (Tennenbronn with church) is from a certificate of Pope Alexander III (1159–1181) for the monastic community of St. Georgen issued on 26 March 1179. In the Late Middle Ages, the ownership is also contributed to the Sirs of Falkenstein und Rechberg, by the 16th century the Falkensteiner and St. Georgener properties were then owned by the dukes of Württemberg. Tennenbronn at the time was divided into a Protestant and a Catholic part (Tennenbronner Vetrag 1558), with the Catholic part being aligned to the Herrschaft Schramberg (a small duchy in Baden-Württemberg) or Anterior Austria respectively. The late gothic church "Unsere Liebe Frau" (our dear Lady, meaning Mary, mother of Jesus) was built in 1453 and burned down to the ground in 1901. It became a Protestant church and its predecessor building has already been a parish since the 12th century. The Catholic village had its own parish since 1786, and in 1848 the church St. Johann Baptista was erected. Because of the Napoleonic changes the two places of Tennenbronn became part of Württemberg in 1805 and due to a barrier treaty between Württemberg and Baden in 1810 they became part of Baden. Napoleon did not want to cross the Kingdom of Württemberg with his army on the march/its campaign. Tennenbronn was conferred to the Grand Duchy Baden on Napoleon's order, because the military road of Offenburg on the Benzebene to Konstanz was touching on the district to Tennenbronn. On 1 October 1922 the Protestant and Catholic part of Tennenbronn were united politically to one municipality. Tennenbronn belonged to the superior office of Baden, which is called Hornberg, after that, from 1857 onwards, it was part of the superior office Triberg and since 1924 it is part…
