词条 | Hechingen |
释义 | Hechingen Germany city, Baden-Württemberg Land (state), southwestern Germany. It lies in the Swabian Alp, southwest of Tübingen. From the 13th century it was the seat of the counts of Zollern (after 1623, princes of Hohenzollern-Hechingen); it passed to Prussia in 1850. Hechingen is a rail junction and manufactures machinery, textiles, and wood products. The Hohenzollern Castle on Hohenzollern Mountain (2,782 feet 【848 metres】) was destroyed in 1423 and rebuilt by Frederick William IV, king of Prussia, in 1850–56. It houses the Prussian crown jewels, and Frederick II the Great and his father, Frederick William I, are buried in its Christ Chapel. Notable buildings are the former abbey church of St. Lutzen (1586–89), the classical Collegiate Church of St. Jacob (1779–83), and Villa Eugenia (1786–1833), former residence of the prince. Nearby are Lindich Castle (1742) and the Stetten Abbey church (1280). Pop. (2003 est.) 19,499. |
