Dätzingen

coat of arms

Originally the place belonged to the Counts of Fürstenberg . In the 13th century, the entire place came into the possession of the Order of St. John / Maltese . Dätzingen formed from 1263 a separate Coming and belonged to the Grand Priory of Germany Johanniter / Order of Malta, based in Heitersheim. The Reformation did not take place here. In 1806 Dätzingen came to the Kingdom of Württemberg and was assigned to the Oberamt Böblingen .

In 1850 Dätzingen had five Protestant and 640 Catholic residents who lived and worked in 86 main buildings and 43 auxiliary buildings.

Döffingen

coat of arms

Döffingen was under the Count Palatine of Tübingen , but fell to Württemberg in the 14th century . In 1388 the great battle of Döffingen took place here (see also Ulrichstein ), which brought the decisive victory of the sovereign princes under Eberhard II of Württemberg against the free imperial cities and led to the peace of Eger . Almost all of Döffingen was destroyed by a great fire on September 8, 1634 - but it was quickly rebuilt.

Döffingen already belonged to the office and later Oberamt Böblingen in the old Württemberg period. In 1850 Döffingen had 1,194 Protestant and 13 Catholic residents who lived and worked in 147 main and 124 outbuildings.

Administrative affiliation

During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Döffingen and Dätzingen became part of the Boeblingen district in 1938 . In 1945, both places became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
