In the east of the city of Heilbronn, near the Trappensee in the area of today's Hölderlinstraße, there was a place mentioned for the first time in 1037, but already settled in the early Middle Ages, which was originally an imperial estate and later came into the possession of the Counts of Löwenstein . In the high Middle Ages the place was mostly called Bockingen , whereas today's Heilbronn district of Böckingen, west of the Neckar , was then called Beckingen . The historical connection between the two places is unknown, and it is sometimes not possible to differentiate between them in historical sources. In 1238 the Mariental Monastery in Bogkingen was mentioned, which was located in one of the two places, but was probably united with the Monastery in Frauenzimmern after a few years .
The Count of Löwenstein sold the place to the city of Heilbronn in 1333 with the consent of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria . The marking comprised approximately 1,100 acres , including 426 acres of vineyards and the southern mountain plateau of Galgenberg . The acquisition of the mark was significant for Heilbronn because, after the acquisition of the Altböckinger mark, the territory of the imperial city comprised the entire valley basin of the Neckar basin surrounded by mountains . The place was given up after the transition to Heilbronn, and its inhabitants, probably mostly free winegrowers, were relocated to the imperial city. Since the late 15th century, the place is usually called Altböckingen in the files ; the prefix Alt- indicates that the place no longer existed then.
When it was sold in 1333, the rights of a couple of brothers were confirmed. This suggests that there was a lower aristocratic family in the area, which may even have owned a castle. This could have stood on a foothill of the nearby Gaffenberg at the Burgmal near today's Uhlandslinde.
A report by the Bishop of Würzburg from 1338 mentions that the place was already depopulated at that time. The still existing church is said to have been the "mother church of the parish and all churches and chapels in the town of Heylprunnen". A report by the Heilbronn council from 1504 says something similar. The church burned down in 1547. Their stones were used for the walls of the surrounding vineyards, the last remainder in 1756 for the construction of the orphanage.
In 1787, during the construction of the Jägerhausstrasse to the Jägerhaus in the area of the earlier settlement, numerous bones and a foundation wall were found. The last remnant of the former settlement was the shaft of a rod well , which remained on what was then Hörnlisweg (today: Arndtstraße ) until 1812 ; it was replenished afterwards. Today only a few field names - Böckinger Maisenholz , Böckinger Ried , Altböckinger Kopf and Altböckinger Backen - tell of the former place.
