Friolzheim is a municipality of the Enz district in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The Friolzheimer Riese telecommunications tower was located here.
History
The village of Friolzheim gradually became a possession of the House of Gemmingen [de] in the 15th century, but then sold the village to Hirsau Abbey. Friolzheim remained a possession of the monastery until it was dissolved in 1807 following German mediatization. Under the Kingdom of Württemberg, Friolzheim was first assigned to Oberamt Calw [de] in 1807, then to Oberamt Leonberg [de] on 26 April 1808. Following the 1973 reorganization of Baden-Württemberg's districts [de], Friolzheim was assigned to the Enz district.[2]
Geography
The municipality (Gemeinde) of Friolzheim covers 8.54 square kilometers (3.30 sq mi) of the Enz district of Baden-Württemberg, a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. Friolzheim is physically located at the edge of the Black Forest and the Upper Gäu [de]. Most of the municipal area lies in the Heckengäu, a region characterized by karstified and forested muschelkalk hills covered with thin layers of soil.[2]
A portion of the Federally-protected Tiefenbronner Seewiesen [de] natural reserve is located in the southeast of the municipality.[2]
Coat of arms
Friolzheim's municipal coat of arms is divided vertically between an image of a stag in gold upon a field of blue on the right, and five bars – three gold and two blue – on the left. The bars on the left are from the coat of arms of the House of Gemmingen [de], while the stag is a reference to Hirsau Abbey. This pattern was drafted and accepted on the suggestion of the Central State Archive Stuttgart [de] in 1937, as Friolzheim had had no coat of arms until then. It was officially approved by the Federal Ministry of the Interior on 11 December 1957.[2]
