history
The name of the village first appeared in a document from the Zwiefalten monastery in 1266, much later than most other places in the County of Zollern . For example, Hechingen was mentioned in 786 in a document from the St. Gallen monastery .
On the northern steep slope of the Zeller Horn, Zell Castle was from the 13th century on the site of today's Maria Zell pilgrimage church . There was also a settlement called Zell, which disappeared in the 15th century . The Lords of Zell were owners of the land around the Zollerberg long before the land was taken over by the Hohenzollern .
In the middle of the 14th century, the local nobility of Bollem, the Lords of Boll, sold their possessions and rights in the village. During the decline of the county of Hohenzollern from 1415 to 1429, the village was pledged to Württemberg . In the Bickelsperg camp book of 1435, which contains a precise description of the property and the rights of the Zollern counts derived from it, the vast majority of the place appears again in the possession of the Hohenzollern. In the 16th century, Boll belonged to the Stetten office . In 1544 around 170 people in 35 families lived in Boll. The proximity to Hohenzollern Castle by no means always brought advantages. Especially during the Thirty Years' War , the sieges of Hohenzollern Castle also affected the village at the foot of the mountain: plundering soldiers and requisitions were the order of the day. This also left its mark on the population. In the 18th century, the place, starving in considerable poverty, probably had hardly more than 40 inhabitants. The road to Hechingen, completed in 1838, brought a significant improvement to the entire infrastructure. Previously there was only one footpath and the last part of the way to Boll had to be made through the Zellerbach. However, real progress only arrived after the transition from Hohenzollern-Hechingen to Prussia in 1850. Boll now belonged to the Hohenzoller Lands . The transition brought far-reaching financial and economic improvements, which could also be seen in the steadily growing population. In 1880 Boll already had 682 inhabitants.
During the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , Boll was incorporated into the city of Hechingen on April 1, 1972.
politics
Up until the March Revolution in 1848, the Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen appointed a Vogt to administer Boll, and elections have been held ever since. Today a local council of seven members is elected, the mayor is Meta Staudt (2015).
