geography
location
Balingen lies on the edge of the Swabian Alb in the Eyach valley , a tributary of the Neckar . South of the city are the so-called Balinger Mountains , including the Plettenberg , the Schafberg and the Lochen (with Lochenstein and Lochenhörnle). To the west of the city lies the Lias Plain of the Kleiner Heuberg .

Grosselfingen , Bisingen , Albstadt , Meßstetten , Hausen am Tann , Dotternhausen , Dormettingen , Geislingen and Haigerloch .
City structure
The city consists of the core town and the districts Dürrwangen , Endingen , Engstlatt , Erzingen , Frommern , Heselwangen , Ostdorf , Roßwangen , Stockenhausen , Streichen , Weilstetten and Zillhausen , although most of these districts were only incorporated into Balingen as part of the community reform of the 1970s .

The number of members in the local council depends on the number of inhabitants of the locality and is between 7 and 13. In each of the localities there is a local administration, quasi a "town hall on site", the head of which is the mayor. The nine localities are: Endingen, Engstlatt, Erzingen, Frommern (with Dürrwangen and Stockenhausen), Heselwangen, Ostdorf, Streichen, Weilstetten (with Roßwangen) and Zillhausen.

history
Medieval city foundation
Balingen was first mentioned in 863 as Balginga . In the 12th century, various nobles acted as local lords of the small village. There was probably a castle too. Balingen belonged to the Haigerloch rule , which existed until 1162 , when it fell to the Counts of Hohenberg . In the first half of the 13th century, the transfer to the Counts of Zollern took place , who made the place the seat of the Schalksburg rulership . The city of Balingen was founded in 1255, about 200 meters upstream to the previous settlement in a headland between Eyach and Steinach . The latter was only diverted later in the course of the city fortifications. The new main arm formed the southern moat, the old course the western one. With the town charter, the settlement grew rapidly and received a wall.
Wuerttemberg official city
In 1403 Balingen was bought by Württemberg (see The saga of the Hirschgulden ); the city soon became the seat of an office. In the 15th century, the city was pledged several times, including to Count Hans von Werdenberg and the Lords of Bubenhofen . The bailiffs and senior bailiffs responsible for the city resided in the former Zollern Castle .
As in 1350, Balingen was ravaged by the plague between 1463 and 1465 . After it had subsided, the so-called Sebastian Brotherhood was founded in honor of the plague saint Sebastian , whose annual accounts (1468–1528) are in the city archives. In the 16th century the plague reappeared. In 1610/11 it must have killed around 400 residents. Reliable figures are not available. The Thirty Years War led to the renewed spread of the plague. In 1635 the death toll must have been even greater. Experience with the horrors of war led to the founding of a new brotherhood in 1673 . In it craftsmen came together. Your drawer can be viewed in the tithe barn today.
The rebels from poor Konrad took control of the city in 1514.
From 1598 to 1600 the mayor's widow Anna Murschel was involved in a witch trial.
After the fires in 1724 and 1809, the town was rebuilt with a regular floor plan.
Oberamtsstadt in the Württemberg royal period
In 1758 Balingen became the seat of an upper office, which was considerably enlarged in 1806 with the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg through the annexation of formerly Upper Austrian and knightly areas and the city of Ebingen .
From 1810 the Oberamt Balingen belonged to the Landvogtei on the upper Neckar and from 1818 to the Black Forest District . Since the 19th century the residents mainly operated jersey weaving and were active in the glove and shoe manufacture, others operated cattle trade. With the opening of the Balingen railway station on the Zollernalbbahn in 1874, it was connected to the rail network of the Württemberg State Railways .
41 people - 5 in Margrethausen , 15 in Laufen , 10 in Frommern and 11 in Balingen - were killed by the Eyach flood on June 4th and 5th, 1895. Huge amounts of water from a thunderstorm tore down railway tracks between the Frommern and Laufen stations before it reached Balingen, flooding fields, uprooting trees, bridges and weirs, but above all, mills.
Republic and time of National Socialism
Since 1918/19 the city was in the free state of Württemberg . During the administrative reforms in Württemberg during the Nazi era , the Oberamt Balingen was renamed the Balingen district in 1934 and transferred to the Balingen district in 1938 .
From 1944 to 1945, plants and satellite camps of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp ( Frommern and Erzingen concentration camps ) were operated in the districts of Frommern, Engstlatt and Erzingen in order to extract fuel from oil shale as part of the desert company .
Although Balingen had never been a center of Jewish faith, the general practitioner Dr. Alexander Bloch and the textile manufacturer Herbert Schatzki, who took over the jersey factory founded by Gottfried Reiber and Carl Roller in 1889 in Bahnhofstrasse in 1920. By 1927, the company was able to expand roughly threefold . After years of exclusion, both emigrated in 1937.
The cattle dealer Wilhelm Levi from Haigerloch , whose wife Bertha was born in Balingen, apparently operated cattle trade here. He was deported with his wife and daughter Senta. Bella Levi was shot dead on March 26, 1942 in a mass execution in Bikernieki . Senta died on August 23, 1944 in the Stutthof concentration camp .
post war period
After the Second World War, the city of Balingen was in the French occupation zone and in 1947 became part of the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which in 1952 became the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
As a result of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , Balingen became part of the newly formed Zollernalb district since 1973.
With the incorporation of various surrounding communities, Balingen's population exceeded 20,000 in 1973. Thereafter, the city administration applied for a major district town, which the state government of Baden-Württemberg decided with effect from January 1, 1974.
History of the districts
The Balingen districts have a different history, but almost all came to Württemberg via the Counts of Zollern in 1403. Here they belonged to the Office or Oberamt Balingen, from which the Balingen district emerged in 1934 . Only Roßwangen did not come to the Balingen district until 1938, previously the place belonged to the Rottweil District Office .
Incorporations
The following municipalities have been incorporated into the city of Balingen or merged with the city of Balingen:

religion
The area of today's city of Balingen initially belonged to the diocese of Constance and was subordinate to the archdeaconate ante nemus sive nigrae silvae . As a result of belonging to Württemberg, the Reformation was introduced in most parts of the city in 1534 , so that they were predominantly Protestant for many centuries. Only Roßwangen remained Catholic because this place was administered by knighthood and the local lords did not carry out any Reformation. In all Protestant locations there is therefore a Protestant parish and a mostly old Protestant church. The first Balingen church was mentioned in 1255 and was dedicated to Our Lady. It was the parish church of the old village of Balingen and initially remained the parish church of the city after it was founded. But it was outside the city wall. The St. Nicholas chapel, mentioned in 1343 in today's city center, became in the 15th and 16th centuries. The present town church was built in the 17th century and elevated to a parish church in 1516. As a result, the previous church was used as a cemetery church. In 1547, Balingen became the seat of a superintendent , which later became the parish of Balingen . The superintendent was initially subordinate to the general superintendent (today prelature) Tübingen, later Bebenhausen, 1810 again Tübingen, 1823 Reutlingen, 1913 Ulm and since 1956 Reutlingen again.
As a result of the strong growth of the municipality of Balingen, further parishes were established in the 20th century. In 1954, the old cemetery church became a parish church again (parish Balingen Ost, to which the parishioners in Heselwangen now also belong) and in 1968 a new parish center with another parish was established in the Schmiden residential area. The three parishes now form the Evangelical Parish of Balingen in the Balingen deanery of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . The Protestant parishes in the districts of Dürrwangen (with Stockenhausen), Endingen, Engstlatt, Erzingen, Frommern, Heselwangen, Ostdorf, Streichen, Weilstetten and Zillhausen also belong to the Balingen dean's office.
In the 19th century, Catholics again moved to Balingen, and later also to the other Protestant districts. In 1899 the congregation was able to build its own Church of the Holy Spirit, which was elevated to a parish in 1918. The parish of Balingen also includes the Catholics of the Engstlatt and Ostdorf districts, but Engstlatt has had its own church, St. Johannes Apostel, since 1966. The Church of St. Paulus was built in Frommern in 1965, and was made a parish in 1970. The local community also includes the Catholics in Endingen, Stockenhausen, Streichen, Weilstetten and Zillhausen. The parishioners of Erzingen belong to the parish Dotternhausen. The Catholic Church in Roßwangen was built in 1948, incorporating parts of the previous church from 1668, but a church is mentioned there as early as 1275, which was consecrated to St. John the Baptist and St. Dionysius. All Catholic parishes in the city of Balingen are now part of pastoral care unit 3 of the Balingen dean's office in the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
Since 2012 the former infirmary chapel has been used as an Orthodox Church of the Russian tradition, St. Martin von Tours used it.
In addition to the two large churches, there are also parishes in Balingen that belong to free churches , including the Evangelical Methodist Church , two Evangelical Free Church communities (Kernstadt and Zillhausen) and the Church of God . The New Apostolic Church and Jehovah's Witnesses are also represented in Balingen.

Blazon : "Under a golden shield head, in it a black stag pole, square of silver and black."
