history
Earliest settlement
Celtic barrows from the Hallstatt period were found in the upper community forest .
The first settlement on the Egau in the area of the village of Dischingen goes back to the Alamanni , when they crossed the Roman Limes from the north around 260 AD and advanced to the Danube. This is evidenced by finds from graves with finds such as bow brooches, some with runic writing.
middle Ages
Dischingen was first mentioned in a document in 1049. In the Middle Ages Dischingen belonged to the County of Dillingen . Goods were given by the Counts of Dillingen to the Heiligkreuz monastery in Donauwörth, the Lorch monastery and the Neresheim monastery . Heinrich von Dischingen is bishop of Eichstätt from 1228 to 1232. The noble family von Dischingen possibly lived on the Knollenburg . In 1334, the Dillingisch - Helfenstein goods passed to former Dilling servants, those of Hürnheim - Katzenstein . At that time, the court in Dischingen was exercised by the Oettingian bailiffs. The Lords of Trugenhofen , based at Trugenhofen Castle at the current location of Taxis Castle, lost their Dischingen possessions in 1339 to the Counts of Oettingen-Wallerstein.
Herdegen II von Katzenstein left his possessions to the Counts of Oettingen in 1354 , but acquired the entire Trugenhofen estate with the entire town of Dischingen again in 1365. Only about a year later, on October 13, 1366, he received the market rights for Dischingen from Kaiser Charles IV. He was also given all judicial powers.
Emperor Charles IV gave, among other things, the right to hold a fair on St. Mary Magdalene's Day (July 22nd). This right is still used today with the annual Dischinger market festival in July.
Modern times
After the War of the Landshut Succession , the Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg was formed in 1505 , to which Dischingen also belonged. In 1734 the Princes of Thurn and Taxis succeeded in getting Dischingen into their rule. As part of the mediatization , Dischingen fell to Bavaria in 1806 and came to the Kingdom of Württemberg through the border treaty of 1810 , in which it was subordinated to the Oberamt Neresheim . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Dischingen came to the Heidenheim district in 1938. In 1945 the area of the municipality became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
Religions
Dischingen remained untouched by the Reformation and remained Roman Catholic . Today it belongs to the Catholic Dean's Office in Heidenheim in the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese . The Protestant believers belong to the parish of Fleinheim-Dischingen in the parish of Heidenheim .
