Finds show a settlement since the 8th century BC. In Roman times the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes crossed the area around the town until 150 AD . A small Roman fortification suspected since the 19th century , the small fort Duttenberg , was discovered in 2011 to the southwest, below the village in the Jagsttal. In the area of ​​the historical town center, excavation finds indicate further Roman buildings. In the years around 260 n. Chr., When the Alemanni conquered the Neckar region, they founded north of the present location to location joke Lingen , but they gave up again later. Duttenberg was then founded in the course of the Franconian conquest around the year 600. The original settlement was probably in the Jagsttal on the site of the former fort. The Duttenberg district was mentioned for the first time as a tutumer marca in the Lorsch Codex in a donation from a Reginolf to the Lorsch monastery dated to 778 . To have been between 780 and 800 of the site to the north seems misplaced on a ridge, as in a donation of Bern from 798/799 from first Dudunburc is talk.

The Duttenberg Castle existed in the Middle Ages and was inhabited by the Lords of Weinsberg in the 14th century . Then the castle came to the Lords of Wittstatt from Hagenbach. In 1460 a city wall was built by Hans von Sickingen . The fortifications of the castle were later removed and a castle-like mansion with outbuildings was built in place of the castle. The local wine press, which was bought by the Teutonic Order in 1599, also belongs to this facility . In 1688 the order also acquired the manor house, and the buildings have been privately owned since 1769.

The Duttenberg Church must have been built very early because it was the mother church for the communities Offenau, Bachenau, Hagenbach and Heuchlingen. The church, first mentioned in 1302, is said to go back to a pre-Romanesque building. In 1730 the presumably medieval church burned down. The baroque church of St. Kilian was built in its place . In the late Middle Ages, the Kreuzkapelle was also built outside Duttenberg , which is located at an earlier Roman cult site.

In 1805 Duttenberg came to the Electorate of Württemberg . During the implementation of the administrative structure in the newly founded Kingdom of Württemberg , Duttenberg was assigned to the Neckarsulm District Office in 1806 . In 1933 there were 443 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 435, and at the end of 1945 there were 483. During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Duttenberg became part of the Heilbronn district in 1938. At the end of the Second World War, the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was merged into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. On March 15, 1972 Duttenberg was incorporated into the city of Bad Friedrichshall.

Duttenberg is still strongly characterized by agriculture. Part of the factory premises of the Offenau sugar factory of Südzucker AG is located in the Duttenberg district. Otherwise there are no noteworthy businesses. Duttenberg is the place of residence for commuters from the surrounding cities and communities.

Beer and wine

The Engel brewery in 1964

Duttenberg has long been known for the Duttenberger beer produced in the local Engel brewery . Long before the boom in city and street festivals, the Duttenberger Bockbierfest , which is held twice a year, gained national importance. Today the Duttenberger Bockbierfest is held once by the Bockbierfest Förderverein TSV Duttenberg and once by the Musikverein Duttenberg. However, for a long time it has not achieved the supra-regional importance as it used to be, which is probably due to the closure of the Engel brewery.

The vineyard area in the shell limestone slopes in the Jagsttal (locations: Brenner and Schön) is still 3.5 hectares today. It is managed by part-time wine growers and belongs to the Württemberg wine-growing region . Duttenberger wine is officially marketed in the Besenwirtschaft Wörner, Würzburger Straße. Some winemakers deliver their grapes to private wineries or to the Heilbronn-Erlenbach-Weinsberg cooperative winery . In the autumn, the local fruit and horticultural association presses home drinks for many after-work guests in the old wine press . The original Swabian specialty Schiller wine is cultivated here, i.e. the joint development of white and red varieties into a rosé cuvée .
