history
antiquity
The earliest evidence of human settlement is the discovery of a brick kiln from the time of the Roman occupation in the Niederhofen district.
middle Ages
In the High Middle Ages, the area belonged to the Duchy of Swabia . 961 the place was called as Alamuntinga. A local nobility in Allmendingen was mentioned for the 12th and 13th centuries. Allmendingen Castle was located east of the Häusleberg (or Heilenberg) . In 1343 Allmendingen passed from the Counts of Berg to the Swabian foothills of the Habsburgs , who lent it to various noble houses as feudal lords.
Modern times
From 1520 Allmendingen belonged to the imperial fief of the Lords von Renner, who in 1593 sold their shares to the city of Ehingen , which guaranteed that Allmendingen remained Catholic. In the same year Ehingen sold the von Renner fief to Hans Walter von Freyberg zu Altheim. Since then, a lineage of the von Freyberg-Eisenberg family has determined the fate of Allmendingen. The two local castles also go back to the time of the rule of the Barons von Freyberg-Eisenberg .
With the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, Allmendingen fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg . In 1810 Allmendingen was subordinated to the Oberamt Ehingen . With the construction of the Danube Valley Railway , Allmendingen was connected to the Württemberg railway network in 1869 . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Allmendingen came to the district of Ehingen in 1938 . In 1945 Allmendingen became part of the French occupation zone and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. Since the district reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1973, Allmendingen has been part of the Alb-Donau district .
