geography

history

Archaeological finds indicate that the current municipal area was already settled in the Stone Age and later by the Celts . The origins of today's settlements are apparently in the Alemannic period.

The place Frickingen was first mentioned in 1094 in a document from the Allerheiligen monastery in Schaffhausen . A castle stood here in the 13th century , which was acquired by the Constance Monastery in 1235 together with other properties . From around 1300 the bailiwick rights lay with the Counts of Werdenberg-Heiligenberg , from 1534 until the mediatization in 1806 the area belonged to the Fürstenberg family . After that Frickingen belonged to Baden , which Frickingen assigned to the Baden district office of Heiligenberg, later to Überlingen. From 1939 Frickingen belonged to the district of Überlingen in the state commissioner district of Konstanz . From 1952 the district of Überlingen was incorporated into the administrative district of South Baden in Baden-Württemberg. After the district reform on January 1, 1973, Frickingen, together with the communities of Altheim and Leustetten, became the new community of Frickingen in the newly founded Lake Constance district in Baden-Württemberg. The old municipality of Frickingen consisted of the villages of Frickingen and Bruckfelden, the Zinken Golpenweiler, Birkenweiler and Rickenwiesen, the farms Ahäusle and Elisabethenhof (Felderhof) and the houses Am Sandbühl / Burgstall (Birkenweiler), Gaiswinkel and Pfaffenweiher.
