Titisee-Neustadt: Guide
Titisee-Neustadt is a city in southwest Baden-Württemberg, in the Freiburg (region)|Freiburg administrative region. The town is a Spa town|spa known for its Sebastian Kneipp|Kneipp hydrotherapeutic and curative methods. Furthermore, it is a winter sport centre.
Geography
The community of Titisee lies on the north shore of Titisee, a lake in the eastern Feldberg in the Black Forest, which ranges from 780 to 1 192 m above sea level. The community of Neustadt is found 5 km to the east. The town lies on a small river called the Seebach (Lake Brook) as it comes in from Feldberg-Bärental to feed Titisee, as the Gutach (Good Ach) as it flows out of the lake, and east of Neustadt, where it becomes a whitewater torrent, as the Wutach (Furious Ach). After flowing out of town, it then passes through the well known Wutachschlucht (Wutach Gorge), and ends by emptying into the Rhine.
Titisee-Neustadt's highest point is the Hochfirst, a peak overlooking the lake on the municipal boundary with Lenzkirch. It is 1 192 m high.
History
Titisee-Neustadt is divided into seven communities which historically have been separate, although they are now amalgamated into one municipality.
Neustadt
Neustadt was founded in 1250 by the Princes of Fürstenberg (princely family)|Fürstenberg. There followed various name changes: the town was called Nova Civitas in 1275 (which has the same meaning in Latin – "New City" – as the German language|German name Neustadt), in 1294 Neuwenstadt, in 1335 Neuwen-statt, in 1630 Neostadium and in 1650 New-Statt before it later became Neustadt. From 1669 to 1806 there was a Order of Friars Minor Capuchin|Capuchin monastery in Neustadt. In 1817, a great deal of the town was destroyed in a great fire. In the 18th century, the Clockmaker|clockmaking trade developed in the town to become a major part of the economy.
During the First World War, and shortly thereafter, a dearth of staple foods prevailed. In May 1919 came the first municipal elections, which saw both active and passive participation by women, who now had the Suffrage|franchise. This led to four women finding themselves on the town council. The mayor who took office in 1923, Karl Pfister (d. 1993 in Freiburg) created and safeguarded jobs. This he managed to do through a loan of, all together, 700,000 German reichsmark|Reichsmark, which he obtained through negotiations with major banks in the United States, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Through further job-making measures, such as public building schemes, about the time of the Great Depression, he was in a position to keep the jobless rate in Neustadt at a comparatively low 12%, whereas it was then 18% in Germany as a whole.
Later came the Nazism|Nazi régime, which used Der Hochwächter and the Echo vom Hochfirst, the local newspapers, for their own ends, later shutting them both down. Despite exerting this influence, the Party's share of the vote in Neustadt was always lower than in Titisee, where it compared with the national average. Nevertheless, the NSDAP local moved into the town hall in 1933, occupied its balcony and made an example of a few people in public life by removing them from office or sending them to the local concentration camp near Hüfingen. Blasius Müßle, who became mayor at that time, was replaced in 1935 by the later Kreisleiter (District Leader) Benedikt Kuner.
Langenordnach
In 1112 Langenordnach had its first documentary mention. In 1529 16 houses were named; the place did not yet have a chapel.
Rudenberg
In 1316 Rudenberg had its first documentary mention. In 1529 the place already had "several houses". In 1810, there were 191 inhabitants.
Schwärzenbach
In 1316 Schwärzenbach had its first documentary mention. In 1850, there were 427 inhabitants.
Titisee
In 1111 Titisee had its first documentary mention. In 1635 the names Dettesee and Titinsee first appear in documents. As of 1750 the name Titisee was commonly applied to the town. The town was put together from four parts, or valleys: Altenweg, Spriegelsbach, Schildwende and Jostal. For this reason, the town bore the name Vierthäler or Viertäler ("Four Valleys") until 1929.
Waldau
Waldau was first named in 1111 and the first documentary mention followed in 1178 in a Pope|papal document. Since 1807 there has been a Catholic parish.
Common history
Titisee-Neustadt came into being in 1971 with the amalgamation of the until then independent district capital of Neustadt with the communities of Titisee and Rudenberg. In 1973 and 1974, the communities of Langenordnach, Schwärzenbach und Waldau were added to the amalgamation.
