history
Until the 18th century
The place was first mentioned in a document from the Hirsau Monastery around 1120 . The goods at that time originally belonged to the Counts of Calw . One of the servants of the counts named Hingo gave the place its later name Hengstett, as it is still called today by its inhabitants. After the Counts of Calw died out in the 13th century, the place first came to the Counts of Zweibrücken , but came under the protection of Württemberg in the 14th century to the Herrenalb Monastery .
Neuhengstett was founded in 1700 by Waldensians who were accepted into the then Duchy of Württemberg. They initially called their place "Le Bourcet" - after their old homeland "Le Bourset". By a ducal decree, however, the place was renamed "Neuhengstett" in 1711, which means that the Hengstett since then became Althengstett. The Neuhengstetter Waldensian Museum provides information about the local history of the Waldensians.
Since the 19th century
Althengstett came to the Oberamt Calw in 1807 when the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg . In 1872 Althengstett got a connection to the route network of the Württemberg state railways with the Black Forest Railway . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg in 1938, Althengstett came to the Calw district. In 1945 Althengstett became part of the French occupation zone and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was merged into the present state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
Incorporations
On October 1, 1974, the two previously independent communities Neuhengstett and Ottenbronn were incorporated into Althengstett.

The parish of Neuhengstett goes back to the founding of Neuhengstett in 1699 by the Waldensians . The language of worship was initially French. In 1824 this parish was fully integrated into the Württemberg regional church.

This is to be built in the west of the train station so that it is closer to the village center.
