To the former municipality of Zoznegg belong the village of "Zoznegg," the hamlet of "Berenberg," the farmstead "Geigeshöfe," as well as the houses of the train stations "Bahnhof Mühlingen-Zoznegg" (Train station Mühlingen-Zoznegg) and "Bahnstation Schwackenreute," (Train station Schwackenreute). The settlements "Greithof" and "Hinterberg" have merged into Zoznegg, as did the abandoned settlement "Sommerhof."

Geographical Location

edit

Zoznegg is located in the northeast of the Hegau region, at the transition to the Linzgau, approximately two and a half kilometers southeast of the center of Mühlingen, at an altitude between 582 and 683.7 meters above NHN (above sea level).[1]

To the north and northeast Zoznegg borders the villages of Schwackenreute and Mühlweiler (both belonging to the municipality of Mühlingen). To the east lies the village of Mindersdorf (belonging to the municipality of Hohenfels) and in the south it is bordered by the villages of Ursaul and Hoppetenzell (both part of the city of Stockach).

Geology

edit

Essentially, Zoznegg lies in the area of the Überlingen glacier tongue of the Rhine Glacier; in regional geology, this means: at the northern edge of the Outer Young Moraine or the Molasse Basin.[2]

Protected Areas

edit

In Zoznegg, besides several biotopes, the FFH area "Ablach, Baggerseen, and Waltere Moor" is designated.[3]

History

edit

Zoznegg is a medieval clearing settlement first mentioned in a document from the Imperial Abbey of Salem in 1329. The core of the settlement is located in the area of today's Hohenfelser Straße and Stockacher Straße. Here ran the long-distance road from Schaffhausen to Augsburg, which was later referred to as the "ordinari Landstraß" in the 17th century.

With its sale in 1465, Zoznegg passed from the County of Nellenburg to Austria. Zoznegg was now part of the Hindelwangen office, within the Nellenburg Cameral lordship.

The mediatisation due to the Imperial Recess of 1806 led to the Kingdom of Württemberg, and in 1810, with the border treaty between Württemberg and Baden, to the Grand Duchy of Baden. In 1843, the place came under the jurisdiction of the Stockach district office, which was renamed the Stockach district in 1939.[4]

With the dissolution of the Stockach district during the Baden-Württemberg district reform in 1973, the village became part of the Konstanz district.

On January 1, 1974, the municipality of Mühlingen was newly formed by the union of the municipalities of Mühlingen, Mainwangen, and Gallmannsweil. The present-day municipality was established on January 1, 1975, through the merger of this municipality with Schwackenreute and Zoznegg.[5]

Name

edit

Zotzneck (18th century), Zotznägg (1760), Zotznegg[9] (1767), Zoznegg: The place name is explained from the Old High German language and the combination of Zozo, the name of an Alemannic clan leader, and ekka, which stands for a mountain ridge. Both terms point to the period between 650 and 1000.

Berenberg

edit

The hamlet of Berenberg formed a special mark for a long time. After 1600, it belonged to the family of Danketschweil, then to the Lords of Liebenfels, and from 1727 to the beginning of the 19th century to the family of Beroldingen, then partially to the Barons of Buol. From about 1900 until after World War II, a large brick factory existed here. The separate district of Berenberg was incorporated into the district of Zoznegg in 1925, on which the Geigeshöfe, traceable since 1461, are also located.

Coat of Arms

edit
 

Blazon: "Under a golden (yellow) chief, therein a lying four-tined blue stag antler, in red the black capital letter Z."

Coat of arms explanation: The stag antler symbolizes the former affiliation of Zoznegg to the County of Nellenburg.

Economy and Infrastructure

edit

The citizens of Zoznegg used to live mainly from agriculture. In 1615, most people in Zoznegg were small farmers, day laborers, and craftsmen, including a baker, a weaver, and two blacksmiths. It wasn't until the 19th century that livestock farming, previously insignificant, began to increase.

In 1909, the harvest statistics for Zoznegg recorded 65 hectares of summer barley, 45 hectares of spelt, 35 hectares of winter wheat, 20 hectares of summer oats, 12 hectares of winter rye, 18 hectares of potatoes, and 3 hectares of fodder beets.

In the 1930s, Zoznegg had three masons and carpenters each, two butchers, shoemakers, tailors, and wainwright each, and one hairdresser, miller, blacksmith, and carpenter each. During the years of World War II, some businesses had to close, reducing the number of trades and crafts establishments available after the war, but they recovered with the currency reform of 1948.[10]

Drinking Water Supply

edit

Zoznegg is supplied with drinking water from the Gerhardsbrunnen as well as the Steinbühl, Weiherbach, and Brunnentobelbach springs.[11]

Postal Service

Before 1900

edit

Before 1821, private individuals had to deliver their mail personally to the Stockach postal station. Then, with the establishment of an official messenger service, private individuals could hand over their mail to an official messenger. This messenger initially brought the mail to the Stockach post office twice, and later three times a week.

In the 1850s, the official messenger service was abolished due to steadily increasing correspondence, its services were transferred to the postal service, and on May 1, 1859, the rural postal service was established. Five messenger districts were set up in the Stockach administrative district. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the messenger (Messenger District No. I) made his round from Stockach via Mahlspüren and Winterspüren to Zoznegg and then back to Stockach via Schwackenreute, Hoppetenzell, Zizenhausen, and Hindelwangen. Mail items deposited in the Zoznegg letterbox were stamped "9." by the postman before being forwarded.[12]

Today

edit

The Deutsche Post branch is located at Stockacher Straße 29.[13]

Transportation

edit

Zoznegg is connected to the highway network via district roads 6109 and 6180, both leading to federal highway 313.

Public Transportation

edit

Zoznegg is served hourly by bus line 100 (Stockach–Zoznegg–Mühlingen–Hecheln), with additional services during school hours running every half hour, and every two hours on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Thus, there are connections to Stockach and Mühlingen.[14]

During school hours, there are additional sporadic connections with line 101 to Hohenfels and line 7391 towards Meßkirch–Sigmaringen as well as via Hoppetenzell–Zizenhausen to Stockach. These places are otherwise only accessible by changing buses in Stockach or Mühlingen-Mühlweiler.

 
Train at the Mühlingen-Zoznegg Railway-Station (2024)

Zoznegg is part of the Verkehrsverbund Hegau-Bodensee (Hegau-Bodensee Transport Association) (VHB).

Between 1870 and 1972, there was a stop at kilometer 24.8 on the Radolfzell–Mengen railway line, which is now closed to passenger traffic. Since 2021, regular passenger services have resumed on the line for seasonal leisure traffic, and on May 1, 2024, the former Mühlingen-Zoznegg stop was reactivated.[15]

Hiking Trails

edit

In addition to several hiking trails marked by the municipality of Mühlingen, Route 15 of the "Burgenwege" (Castle Trails) runs through Zoznegg.

Buildings

edit
  • The church "St. Veit" was completed at the end of 1924. Following the laying of the foundation stone on August 19, 1923, inflation caused the relatively simple, neoclassically styled building to become the most expensive church construction in the Hegau region. In 1933, the Hemberger brothers painted the interior: in the nave, five ceiling paintings depict scenes from the life of Saint Vitus, one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
  • After 147 citizens of Zoznegg donated around 3,900 DM, the church received three new bells in 1954; the bell consecration took place on January 31.
  • The organ, purchased by the community in 1937, was freed from woodworm, restored, and equipped with an electric motor in 1956 for 4,500 DM.
  • The "Auerhof," located at Am Weiher 7, is probably the oldest preserved building in Zoznegg, with over 200 years of history.
  • Several wayside crosses at prominent locations, on hills, and at crossroads in and around Zoznegg are today considered small monuments by historic preservation and are partially under monument protection.

Clubs

edit
  • In April 1958, the Zoznegg Accordion Orchestra was founded in the Gasthaus Adler; on the founding evening, the orchestra had 83 active and passive members.
  • The Zoznegg Music Association was founded in 1924; at that time, the members of the Mandolin Club decided to form a brass band; today the association has over 80 active, passive, and honorary members.[16]
  • The cycling club "Wanderlust" Zoznegg, founded in 1912, evolved into today's Zoznegg Cycling Club; the first road race was held in 1963.
  • From its beginnings in 1903, the Schneckenbürgler (Snail Castle) Carnival Guild Zoznegg was founded in 1964; today it has over 150 costume wearers in six groups[17] and is a member guild in the Narrenvereinigung Hegau-Bodensee (Hegau-Bodensee Carnival Association).
  • After the DJK in 1929 and the re-founding meeting as Sportfreunde Zoznegg (literally translated to sports enthusiasts Zoznegg) in 1948, the Zoznegg Football Club regained its old name in 1954; in 1994, it merged with SV Winterspüren to form today's SG Zoznegg-Winterspüren.[18]
