Sitzenkirch is a district of the city of Kandern in the southern Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg. Located on the southern foothills of the blue (also Blue ), the place offers many opportunities for hikes. He has a village character and is surrounded by meadows and forests.

Sitzenkirch has three access roads, which lead in southern, eastern and northern direction. The main axis leads in the north-south direction via Landesstraße 132 (Breitestraße) from Kandern to Badenweiler via Sehringen.

The 3.7 kilometer road increases from Kandern over 123 meters of altitude and leads to the 474 m [first] high passport St. Johannis width which corresponds to an average gradient of 3.3%. The small pass connects the Eggenental to the Lippisbach valley. The Breitenhof is on the pass height, west of which is a hiking car park. The border between Kandern and the Schliengen administrative community also runs on the pass. The northwest ramp branches off from a kilometer north of the pass height from the L 132 to the west towards Obereggenen. The a total of 2.7 -kilometer -long distance is 128 meters of altitude and corresponds to an average gradient of 4.7%.

In the center of Sitzenkirch, the L 132 branches off another pass road (K 6313) northeast towards Käsacker and continues to Vogelbach.

The relatively small district includes a number of geological units. In essence, the large Black Forest rim averaging from north to south is essentially responsible for this. This pulls from Bürgelnwald about the Job , east on Rebberg Gone to the Mühlenmatt , there is somewhat distracted by a small cross -fiction (which follows the Lippisbach a bit here). It then sits down by the residential development between Wässerleweg and Upper garden , then east past the Wässerlehof towards Mohrensattel fort. [2]

To the east of this disorder we are in the forested crystalline base mountains of the Black Forest. Here is the light to reddish-gray Malsburg granite, in which the Lippisbach and its minor streams have incorporated its valleys. Large blocks of this granite were installed at the retaining wall of the vineyard.

To the west of the Black Forest edge, we are located in the Black Forest Vorbergzone, in which layers of the bunge with the Rheingraben formation, which once also camped in the area of ​​the Black Forest, but have largely fell on the removal there. The broken cover mountains form the fracture floors of the Black Forest.

Am Mühlenrain And further northwards follow from east to west to west, north-south stripping stripes from Buntsandstein, Muschelkalk and Keuper, i.e. the normal triasy layer sequence, but not on top of each other, but side by side. The strong vertical movement when climbing the Black Forest has caused the layers to be “dragged” steeply near the Black Forest edge, so that they are even more or less perpendicular in some places. [3] This layer towing is thanks to the side of the layers. However, loess clay and Fließerdeskecken are largely denied the view into the deeper surface. This applies in particular to the width, wavy divided hollow between the village and Sankt Johannisbreit . Here showed sparse information that from the outcome of the town via the Stegacker and Long to St. Johannis Breite Already the next young layer sequence, the Unterjura (lias), forms the surface. The eastern slope of Steineck and Stutz Only easily build up to the Black Forest Central Jura (Dogger) layers. We are here outside the area of ​​the steep layer towing towards the Black Forest edge. The layers are therefore normally stored on top of each other. Below it is u. The opalin tone at risk of slipping, above it the main trogen stone consisting of hard limes, which is the forested, self -broken and cultural Jurkalktafel from Rütten – Steineck-Hohfohren-Schorne The picture.

South of the village, the Lippisbach dug its valley between different mid -jura lights. To the west it is again the main trogen stone, eastern it is predominantly softer, loess -covered sediments around the hamlet of Wässerlehof. Immediately north of the Liebenau A small subjura juror appears directly at the Black Forest Rid, a small game of Buntsandstein and Keuper south of it.

Informative tour: The path from the mill rain to the partridge initially leads via Keupertone (occasionally its bright colors can be seen in deeper cattle traces). The partridge reaches the shell limestone visible in an overgrown quarry behind the edge of the forest. On the descent to the upper Mühlenstraße, the Buntsandstein appears at the Wegbord, and after crossing the Black Forest rim near the confluence with the K6313, the Malsburg granite is reached.

The first documentary mention as a “sitting circh” [4] takes place in 1120 in connection with the foundation of a Benedictine women’s monastery that was created on the ground on the ground of a donation to the St. Blasien monastery. Spiritual care was carried out by the provost of Bürgeln.

Sitzenkirch and Sitzenkirch monastery were victims of a feud between Rudolf I of Habsburg and the Bishop of Basel, Heinrich III. by Neuchâtel-Erguel. A fire destroyed the monastery to the foundations, and parts of the place were also affected. The current Church in Romanesque style was built in 1290 and was consecrated to St. Hilarius.

The Margraves Hachberg-Sausenberg, Rudolf III. And Otto, donated the altar to the Holy Cross in 1366. [5] Margrave Otto was buried in 1384 in the church in Sitzenkirch. Margrave Heinrich († 1318) and Margrave Hugo († 1448) are also reminiscent of him and his relatives that are also affected in the church.

The monastery was incorporated into the St. Blasien Monastery in 1492. In the peasant war, on May 3, 1525 [6] The whole village and the monastery devastated, only the church was spared. The nuns fled to Basel and no longer returned.

In 1597 there was the first documentary mention of the mill. In 1611 the mill became the possession of the Kammüller family. The construction of the mill, as it is still preserved and can be visited today, took place in 1755.

In the Battle of Schliengen on October 24, 1796, violent fights between the Austrian troops under General Nauendorf and the French associations under General Ferino took place in and around Sitzenkirch, with the Austrians ultimately taking the place.

In 1822, Karl Köllner bought a house and agriculture on the former monastery area after the originally intended purchase of Bürgeln Schloss dragged on. Köllner was part of the Protestant mission movement and founded a home for impoverished Jewish children in Sitzenkirch. After Rabbi defended himself against the worries of Jewish children, Köllner changed his concept and now led a home for difficult to educate, neglected Christian children, as was also operated by Christian Friedrich Spittler at the Buggen Castle. [7]

After the Second World War, Sitzenkirch became an independent village in the then district of Müllheim in 1949. A sub -location of the city of Kandern in the Lörrach district became a sub -location of the city of Kandern by a municipal reform on March 1, 1974. [8]

In 1972, the Janz team rented a building in Sitzenkirch, in which the classes of the school for missionary children, which was rebuilt in 1973 in “Black Forest Academy”. Up until 1997, most classes were moved to Kandern. In 2009, the Black Forest Academy and the Free Evangelical School in Sitzenkirch founded a bilingual primary school (German/English).

On July 21, 2000, the 246.5 kilometer -long 18th stage of the 87th Tour de France from Lausanne to Freiburg im Breisgau led through Sitzenkirch around 4:28 p.m. The last sprint rating before the finish in Freiburg was decreased in Sitzenkirch. [9] Jacky Durand, located in an outlier group, was able to win the sprint rating for himself in front of Salvatore Commesso, the later stage winner, and Jens Voigt. [ten]

Highly speaking is spoken in Sitzenkirch.

At sights, Sitzenkirch offers the monastery church with grave slabs in the choir and a super -sloken old mill wheel.

In the village there is the volunteer fire brigade, Sitzenkirch department. The volunteer fire brigade in Kandern was founded on March 1, 1862 [11] .

The singing club Sitzenkirch 1864 e. V. was founded in 1864 and closed after over 100 years in 2007. [twelfth]

The children’s choir “Dorfhoppsa” has been around since 2016, which also offers musical activity for smaller children.

Since 2018, the MSC Sitzenkirch Motorsport Club has been around, which, among other things, regularly organizes well -attended classic car meetings for motorcycles, cars and tractors.

There are hiking trails in Sitzenkirch, for example to Bürgeln Castle, to the Sausenburg or also for high blue.

In 1843/44, two hectares of vines were planted below and above the vineyard. At that time, all families in the village still had their own vines. Due to a variety of impairments such as frost, pests and weak yields, the reba cultivation was gradually reduced at the beginning of the 1950s. Today, only one plot with the Spätburgunder variety is managed by a family.
