Entringen

Entringen is a part and the administrative seat of the municipality Ammerbuch in the district of Tübingen in the state of Baden-Württemberg (Germany).

Saint Michael's Evangelical Church dominates the town center with its striking green tower.

The grave of a well-equipped warrior was found in the 1930s in the area of today's Bahnhofstraße/Zeppelinstraße, and points to an Alemannic settlement dating to the 5th century.

Entringen developed over the centuries by the Alemannic settlement to a predominantly agricultural, Württemberg village.

In 1855, the municipality acquired six looms in order to provide a practical education, as well as livelihood, for children from poor families.

The coat of arms of the formerly independent municipality Entringen contains a horizontal black deer rack that connects to Württemberg with a floating duck reflecting on water; it was accepted by the community in 1929.

In the choir is a triptych by Manfred Luz (2002): Michael has the fallen angel in his place shows him at the same time the way to the light.

This scene was painted in 1913 by Gunhild von Ow and hangs today in the guest room.

He is remembered as a Christian educator and father, a teacher of the Swabian pietism as one of the great pioneers of the Inner Mission and as a songwriter.

In the Naturpark Schönbuch there is a Hermann-Lons Fountain, designed and build by a group of friends around the Tübingen artist Ugge Bärtle in the mid-1920s.
