Ammerbuch
Ammerbuch (German pronunciation: [ˈamɐbuːx]) is a municipality in the district of Tübingen of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated 7 km northwest of Tübingen and between 345 and 551 meters above sea level. The name Ammerbuch is a portmanteau of the two locations between which the municipality is situated — Ammer Valley and the Schönbuch nature park.
The former municipal coat of arms shows in gold (yellow) a rooted green beech, covered with a lowered blue wave beam. The tree symbolizes the Schönbuch, the blue wave beam the Ammer. The six aspiring branches and six indigenous roots of beech represent the six villages that form village Ammerbuch today.
The oldest evidence of a settlement in the Ammer Valley goes back to the Neolithic period. Tools, huts and tombs have been found on the Kirchberg in Reusten, and their age is estimated to be about 6,000 years.
In Pfäffingen, Entringen and Poltringen there are foundations of Roman estates. A Roman road, which was later known as King Street or Ammer Valley road, led from Sumelocenna (today Rottenburg am Neckar) via Unterjesingen, Poltringen, Reusten and Altingen to Herrenberg and continued to Portus (today Pforzheim). From 84 to 260 the Ammer Valley was dominated by the Romans before they were ousted by the Alemanni.
In the 3rd century, Alemanni originating from northern Germany settled in the Ammertal and on the Schönbuch slopes. Probably in the 5th or 6th century the six villages arose that now form Ammerbuch. The County Palatine of Tübingen sold their possession in 1293 to the Bebenhausen monastery. Their seat was the Roseck Castle, above Unterjesingen at the edge of the Schönbuch.
After the dissolution of the monastery Bebenhausen 1534/35 the villages came for the most part to the Duchy of Württemberg and became Protestant. In 1699 Pfäffingen came to Württemberg, the half of Altingen, two-thirds of Poltringen and part of Reusten came in Austrian possession and were partly Catholic as part of Further Austria.
In 1806 Napoleon rewarded Württemberg for its allegiance, annexing Austrian lands near Rottenburg to it. The villages were administered since 1808 by the Oberamt Herrenberg. In the reorganization of German districts by the Nazis in 1938, Ammerbuch became part of the Tübingen district.
The current municipality of Ammerbuch was founded on 1 December 1971 via local government reform, merging the prior municipalities of Altingen, Breitenholz, Entringen, Pfäffingen, Poltringen, and Reusten.
