Memorial for the Deported Jews of Jöhlingen

Highlight • Monument

A vertical old and a new railway sleeper make up the basic structure of the Jöhlinger memorial stone. With this material, the creators of the stone want to point out the involvement of the Reichsbahn in the deportation. The old threshold has the task of reminding - the new threshold has the task of warning against the repetition of totalitarianism and racism. Five red iron bars with the names of the five deported Jöhlinger Jews on them connect the two railway sleepers.

Historic Chain Weir on the Walzbach

Highlight • Monument

Easy to reach. Shady, cool spot. Unfortunately, no more detailed information on the age or year of construction of the weir. Will it still work?

Steppe Heath at Bittberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful ravine leads through it. Unpaved and through a small forest.

Schlossberg Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Schlossbergsee is (today) a rainwater retention basin for the Walzbach. A strong dam with emergency overflow ensures safety in extreme rainfall.

Flood retention basin at Schlossbergsee

Highlight • Structure

Floods and devastating flood events used to occur more frequently along the Walzbach. This could only be stopped with the construction of the retention basin. This has a backwater volume of 175,000 cubic meters. History expert Klaus Geggus from the Citizens' and Local History Association writes: "Until the construction of the retention basin, regular flooding by the rolling stream ("dirty rolling") in the event of sudden cloudbursts/thunderstorms were common. Not only the Bahnhofstraße was affected, but at times even the entire Oberdorf.”
In the flood of the century in May 1746, three people lost their lives and three houses were completely destroyed by the water, according to Geggus. In the "Heimatbuch Weingarten (Baden)", local historian Pastor Albert Nikolaus cites the years 1929, 1931 and 1934 as examples of high water and flooding. "But there were also floods in the post-war period," reports Klaus Geggus. "The otherwise peaceful village stream developed into a raging river that flooded the banks and caused terrible damage, especially in the upper village above the Untermühle and from the Mützenau to the Kanalstraße."

Historical Chain Weir

Highlight • Monument

The dammed Walzbach stream above and the mini waterfall at the old chain weir are definitely worth the tiny detour.
