history
prehistory
In the second half of the 5th century the Alemanni tried to advance north, but were stopped by the Franks and defeated by their king Clovis I in 496.
The decision had not yet been made with this victory, because in the first years of the 6th century the Alemanni rose again, but were finally defeated and were forced to cede the land on the Middle Rhine to the Franks. The Alemanni held themselves south of the Danube until the death of the Ostrogothic king Theodoric in 526, under whose patronage they were safe.
Soon afterwards, this part of the Alemannic tribe was also incorporated into the Frankish empire in a peaceful manner under the Frankish king Theudebert I. Initially dependent on the central authority for the entire 6th century, the Alemannic duke was completely independent at the beginning of the 8th century. In 744, Pippin the Younger , the father of Charlemagne , put an end to the Alemanni struggles for independence under Theubald, while his brother Karlmann in 746 brutally slaughtered the Alemannic greats at Cannstatt. The duchy was abolished and Alemannia, as part of the Frankish Empire, was directly subordinate to the king. The administration of the land was entrusted to several counts. The Franks smashed the last Alemannic-Swabian structures in 749 with the capture and disempowerment of the last Alemannic leader Lantfried II.
First mention
The first mention of the "pagello Goldineshuntare" comes from a document of King Ludwig the German from the year 854, with which the disputes between the monastery of St. Gallen and the Bishop of Constance are settled. The place Herbertingen is counted to the Gau, where the monastery ceded a Hube ( homestead ) to the diocese of Constance ("in comitatu Udalrici comitis, in pagello Goldineshuntare, in villa Heriprehinga").
According to Gustav Kempf, the name Goldinshuntare comes from "the hundredth of Goldin".
Representative and dissolution
Marquard I. von Pfullendorf (955 / 960-1019) is mentioned as a count in the Goldineshuntare between 993 and 1019. In the 9th and 10th centuries the Goldineshuntare was mentioned several times.
Around the year 1050 the Goldineshuntare was divided into the County of Rohrdorf ( Meßkirch ) and the County of Sigmaringen . Whether the county of Sigmaringen goes back to the Goldineshuntare district has to be researched more closely. Dieter W. Mayer writes in his thorough work on the boundaries of the Grafschaft Sigmaringen in the 16th century that it is clear that the late medieval counties essentially have nothing to do with the Carolingian counties, because they are based on completely different foundations .
