history

Early history

As the ending -ingen suggests, Aldingen is an Alemannic settlement. During the restoration of the Mauritius Church, archaeological investigations uncovered findings that the settlement can be traced back to the 4th century. Post holes in a wooden church from around 700 were uncovered. A stone church was built on this site in the late 11th century.

The place was first mentioned in 802 or 803 in a deed of donation from the St. Gallen monastery . In 1444 Aldingen came to the then County of Württemberg and was assigned to the Tuttlingen office. Aldingen became a Protestant town in the period of the Reformation in 1534. Schlößlesbühl Castle was once located in the area .

Territory affiliation

In the Kingdom of Württemberg , the place was assigned to the Oberamt Spaichingen in 1810 . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the community came to the Tuttlingen district in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the French occupation zone and was thus assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1975, the previously independent community of Aixheim was incorporated into Aldingen.

mayor

Banner, coat of arms and flag

In December 2013 Ralf Fahrländer succeeded Reinhard Lindner. He had held the office for 35 years.

badges and flags

Blazon : "In gold (yellow) a green linden tree on green ground." Heraldically correct it should read: "In gold (yellow) on a green hill a green linden tree."

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms awarded in 1930 is derived from the oldest seal image of the place from 1797, which showed a deciduous tree accompanied by four stars with a stag pole placed across the trunk, including two diagonally crossed branches. The meaning of the linden tree is unclear. Proof of a previous place of jurisdiction could not be found.

Flag: The banner or the hoist flag is green-yellow stripes lengthways or crossways with the coat of arms above or in the middle. The flag was awarded on August 17, 1970 by the Ministry of the Interior.

The municipality is affiliated with the "Donaubergland" tourist association.

traffic

Two ring trains meet in Aldingen

Aldingen is located on the Gäubahn and has been a train stop again since the ring train was introduced in 2003. The Aldingen station, which was closed for passenger traffic in 1977, is today one of the most successful ring train stops, where around 1000 passengers get on and off every working day. The high number of passengers at Aldingen train station can also be attributed to the fact that Aldingen is an important link between the ring train and bus services. In Aldingen, where the ring trains from the direction of Rottweil intersect with those from the direction of Tuttlingen at minute 30, bus services to Trossingen and the Heuberg are offered shortly after the arrival of the ring trains . Every working day, the ring train connects Aldingen every hour with Rottweil, where there is an intercity connection to Stuttgart every two hours , as well as with Spaichingen, Tuttlingen, Immendingen and Leipferdingen . Aldingen is part of the TUTicket transport association .

Aldingen is on the federal highway 14 between Rottweil and Tuttlingen. This provides a good connection to the neighboring city of Spaichingen. State and district roads connect the community with Trossingen, Schura , Aixheim and Denkingen.
