history

In the municipality of is right Bömbachs on the slopes of Egenhauser Kapfes the Outbound village Sindelsteta. Sindelstetten appears for the first time in a document dated to the year 1005, but forged, from the 12th century and around 1100. As early as the middle of the 14th century, the hamlet was only mentioned in various documents as a district of Egenhausen ("both Egenhausen"), but was still mentioned as a district and the residents of Sindelstetten in tax books at the beginning of the 16th century. In the second half of the 16th century, the place was probably finally given up - in favor of Egenhausen. In 1624 Sindelstetten is referred to as a lost hamlet .

Egenhausen itself was first mentioned in a document in 1353. In 1398 the Counts of Hohenberg sold the place to the Margraviate of Baden , before Württemberg bought it up in 1603 and incorporated it into the Altensteig office . For centuries, the place shared the fate of the city of Altensteig , only 3 km away , but was able to maintain its independence through the district and community reforms in Baden-Württemberg. In 1811 Altensteig came to the Nagold District Office , and in 1938 it was finally incorporated into the Calw district.

To the north-west of the village there was probably a chapel from the High Middle Ages just before the Altensteiger “Turmfeld” industrial park on the Egenhauser district . The chapel to the troughs is likely to have been located in the area of ​​the former connecting road from Spielberg to Altensteig shortly before the now-capped confluence with today's relief road to the B28. The Gewann still bears the related name Trögelsbach today , as does the relief road and a nearby road on the Altensteiger district. A map from the beginning of the 17th century still shows the foundation walls of the chapel.
