It was a [[Free Imperial City]] of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] for nearly 600 years. Line 26: [[File:Pfullendorf Hauptstraße b.jpg\|thumb\|left\|The Hauptstraße]] [[File:Pfullendorf. Old house believed to have been built in 1317.jpg\|thumb\|left\| The 700-year-old house]] ===Early history=== Pfullendorf was founded by the [[Alamanni]] tribe during their third wave of settlement and might have been named after a clan chief named ''Pfullo''. According to another theory, it was named ''Dorf am Phoul'' (''Pfuol''), meaning ''village on the Phoul''. Line 32 ⟶ 33: ===Free Imperial City=== {{Infobox ~~former~~ country \|native_name = ''Reichsstadt Pfullendorf'' \|conventional_long_name = Imperial City of Pfullendorf \|common_name = Pfullendorf ~~\|continent = Europe~~ ~~\|region = Central Europe~~ ~~\|country = Germany~~ \|era = Middle Ages \|status = City Line 59 ⟶ 57: \|capital = Pfullendorf }} [[File:~~Political~~Reichsstadt ~~map~~Pfullendorf ~~of the Linzgau north of Lake Constance~~Territorium, ~~circa~~Pfeffel ~~1800~~1746.~~jpg~~png\|thumb\|left\|~~Political map~~Territory of Pfullendorf in the ~~Linzgau,~~ mid-18th century]] In June 1220, Emperor [[Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor\|Frederick II]] elevated Pfullendorf to the status of Imperial City. However, the prince-bishops of Constance, as the biggest landowners in the Linzgau and patrons of several religious institutions such as Holy Spirit Hospital in Pfullendorf, continued to exert significant political influence over the whole area. At the [[Council of Constance]] (1415), [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor\|King Sigismund]] granted ''Blutgerichtsbarkeit'' ("Blood justice" or the right to pronounce sentences of death or mutilation) to the town, a status that confirmed the city as being answerable to God and to the Emperor only. Starting in 1383, Pfullendorf ruled itself according to a constitution that gave decisive powers to the town guilds and provided for the annual election of the mayor. A 50-member “High Council” also elected annually, was vested with executive authority alongside a 17-member “Small Council” chaired by the mayor. With brief interruptions, this guild-based constitution remained in force until 1803 and was to serve as a model for other cities. Line 66 ⟶ 64: Pfullendorf became a member of the powerful [[Swabian League]] in 1488 and took part in the war of 1492 against Duke Albrecht of Bavaria. The city was assigned to contribute 4 footmen, 6 horsemen, 4 wagons and 8 tents for the campaign. Like a few other small Free Imperial Cities in the vicinity of Lake Constance, Pfullendorf was comparatively untouched by the turmoil that engulfed Germany during the [[Protestant Reformation]] and it was to be one of the 12 Free Imperial Cities, out of 50, that was to be officially classified as Catholic at the Peace of Westphalia, that also explicitly stated for the first time that Free Imperial Cities enjoyed the same degree of independence ([[Imperial immediacy]]) as the other [[Imperial State\|Imperial Estates]].{{cn\|date=March 2023}} Although the Black Death, the Peasants' War, the Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, the War of the Spanish Succession and the French Revolution left their marks on the region, Pfullendorf was able to avoid major destruction. During the Thirty Years’s war, the city was fought over for five hours in 1632 and the pilgrimage church of Maria Schray, along with its Gothic choir, was burned down. ===End of the Free Imperial City of Pfullendorf=== [[File:Pfullendorf circa 1900.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Old Pfullendorf in 1900]] [[File:Pfullendorf Rathaus, circa 1905.jpg\|thumb\|right\|The Town Hall circa 1905]] Like most of the other 50 Free Imperial Cities, Pfullendorf lost its freedom in the course of the [[German mediatisation\|mediatisation]] of 1803 and was annexed to the Margraviate of Baden. The old hospital building in the center of town was sold and in 1845 (it now houses the restaurant ''Deutscher Kaiser'') and a new hospital opened on the site of a former monastery near the Upper Gate. The city was connected to the railway network in 1873-75. Line 81 ⟶ 77: ==Culture== The [[German Army]]'s Special Operations Training Centre ({{~~lang-~~langx\|de\|Ausbildungszentrum für spezielle Operationen}}) is located in Pfullendorf, as was the [[NATO]] International [[Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol]] School following its move from [[Weingarten (Baden)\|Weingarten]] to its closure in 1999. In 2001 the United States Army took command of the I-LRRP School in Pfullendorf and the name was changed to the International Special Training Centre (ISTC). ISTC is the International Wing (I-Wing) of the German Ausbildungszentrum Special Operations. ===Twin towns=== Line 88 ⟶ 84: * [[Saint-Jean-de-Braye]] in [[France]] since May 1, 1987 [[File:Wendel Dietterlin, Portrait.jpg\|thumb\|125px\|[[Wendel Dietterlin]], portrait from 1599]] ==Notable Pfullendorfers== * [[Wendel Dietterlin]] (c.1550–1599), mannerist painter, printmaker and architectural theoretician. * [[Hugo Rahner]] (1900–1968), a Jesuit theologian and ecclesiastical historian. * [[Daniel Schuhmacher]], ''[[Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Season 6)\|DSDS]]'' winner for Season 6.▼ * [[Roderich Kiesewetter]] (born 1963), former Bundeswehr general staff officer, now politician (CDU) ▲* [[Daniel Schuhmacher]] (born 1987), singer and songwriter, ''[[Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Season 6)\|DSDS]]'' winner for Season 6. * [[Sinan Gümüş]], [[Galatasaray]], professional football player. === Sport === * [[Achim Hollerieth]] (born 1973), former football goalkeeper, played 210 games * [[Sinan Gümüş]] (born 1994), footballer, formerly for [[Galatasaray]], has played over 150 games ==References== Line 107: {{Authority control}} [[Category:Sigmaringen (district)]] [[Category:Free imperial cities]]
