Community structure

The municipality of Brigachtal consists of the three districts Kirchdorf, Klengen and Überauchen. The districts are spatially identical to the former communities of the same name and their official designation is based on the name itself. Only the villages of the same name belong to the two districts of Kirchdorf and Überauchen, and the village of Klengen includes the village of Klengen, the hamlet of Beckhofen and the Ankenbuck houses . The place Eiginhova mentioned in 793 was the original name of today's church village, which was only given its current name around 1200 due to its function as a central church village for the surrounding localities of Urmark Klengen.

history

The municipality was founded as part of the administrative reform in Baden-Württemberg on October 1, 1974 from the previously independent municipalities of Kirchdorf, Klengen and Überauchen. It got its name from the Brigach , which flows through the municipality.
