history

Finds show the presence of humans as early as the Neolithic . The village was founded by the Alemanni in the 6th century AD . The first evidence appears around 1193, a “Gotefrit de Frometingen” in a document from the Kaisheim monastery as the ministerial officer of the Oettinger counts.

The local aristocrats “Frometinger” are likely to have had their seat at the foot of the Kirchberg, in the immediate vicinity of today's town hall. Their traces are lost in the 14th century. In the Middle Ages , the Counts of Oettingen and the Lords of Hochaltingen shared rulership in the village

Until the church is planted

Fremdingen belonged to the Principality of Oettingen-Spielberg . With the Rhine Confederation Act 1806, the place came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1818 the rural community of Fremdingen was formed with the municipal edict with the following districts:
