history
Bisingen is one of the oldest settlements in the region. This is proven by numerous finds from the younger Stone Age , the Bronze Age , the earlier Iron Age and La Tène Period . The founding of Bisingen and Wessingen is attributed to the Alemanni around 300 AD, the founding of Steinhofen, Thanheim and Zimmer to the Franks around 500 AD. The first written mention of Bisingen and Wessingen comes from the year 786: the Franconian Count Gerold donates goods from Pisingun (Bisingen) and Uassingun (Wessingen) to the St. Gallen monastery . In the knight family of the Walger, feudal people of the Counts of Hohenzollern , Bisingen had its own local nobility with the castle seat Ror on a foothill of the Hundsücken. The Schlössle ruins are still a reminder of the Walger family and their importance for the history of the village.
Bisingen, like the now incorporated towns of Thanheim, Wessingen and Zimmer, belonged to the Hechingen District Office and thus to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen until 1850 . After the principality was mediatized, the places were in the Hohenzollern Lands and came to the Hechingen district in 1925 .
From 1944 until the end of the war there were a total of 4,163 prisoners in the Bisingen concentration camp, of whom at least 1,187 died during this period.
24 people died in an air raid by the US Air Force (USAAF) . The target was the railway systems in the center of the town, which were destroyed along with over 150 other buildings.
After the Second World War, Bisingen fell into the French occupation zone and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 , which became the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern in the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 .
As part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg on March 1, 1972, the two municipalities of Wessingen and Zimmer were incorporated. Thanheim was incorporated on January 1, 1974.
During the district reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1973, Bisingen was assigned to the new Zollernalb district .
