history

Dellmensingen was established in the 5th century through settlements in today's area and was first mentioned in a document in 1092, but burned down in 1246 in the battle for Ulm. In 1607 the lower castle was built , and the church followed between 1711 and 1712. About a hundred years after the lower castle was demolished in 1802, the first electricity-generating turbine was started up in 1904 and the place was first illuminated with 13 lamps in 1908. A short time later, a train stop was built in 1910 and the church tower was raised to a height of 48 m in 1912. At the end of the First World War in 1918, 37 Dellmersingers died.

In the following years the city continued to grow and in 1921 the Volksbühne Dellmensingen and the Dellmensingen sports club were founded, a second schoolhouse was built in 1930 and the water tower and several water pipes in 1933.

During the Third Reich from March to September 1942 there was a Jewish forced retirement home with around 120 Jews from Württemberg (mostly from Stuttgart). However, they were all deported to Theresienstadt in September . After the arrival of the first refugees from the east in 1943, Ulm was bombed on December 17, 1944 and the Ulm district office was relocated to Dellmensingen as a result. On April 23, 1945, French troops reached Dellmensingen, the war resulted in a total of 70 dead and 23 (still) missing Dellmensingen.

In 1955 the community bought the upper castle before it was incorporated into the town of Erbach (Danube) on July 1, 1974 .
