history

antiquity

The Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes (ORL) ran on the Hüttlinger district , a section of the former outer border of the Roman Empire , which made a bend in a field on the Hochfeld road opposite the Wasserstall residential area. By means of geophysical prospecting , the remains of two Limes towers were located in 2012.

Around 260 AD, the Romans withdrew from the area south of the Limes to the right of the Rhine and the left of the Iller, which Tacitus called the Dekumatland , back to Lake Constance, so that from then on the entire left bank of the Rhine formed the new border of the Roman Empire. The ending “ingen” in the name of Hüttlingen indicates that the family of an Alemannic clan leader named “Hutilo” could have founded the first settlement at Kocherknie during the period that followed .

middle Ages

In the High Middle Ages, the area of Hüttlingen was in the northern border region of the tribal duchy of Swabia .

The first documentary mention of Hüttlingen took place in 1024 in a document with which Emperor Heinrich II declared the forest of the Ellwangen monastery called "Virigund" a ban forest . This certificate was issued on February 5, 1024 in Bamberg. Niederalfingen was first mentioned in a document in 1475. The place Hüttlingen was part of the castle and rule Niederalfingen .

Modern times

In 1551 the Fuggers acquired Niederalfingen Castle. At that time there were about 21 farmers, 15 mercenaries , 14 cottagers and also some craftsmen, two landlords and a mill in Hüttlingen . So Hüttlingen was mainly determined by agriculture. The Fuggers were local lords of Hüttlingen until mediatization. Even after the Reformation, the place remained predominantly Catholic until the end of the Second World War.

As a result of the mediatization, Hüttlingen came to the Kingdom of Württemberg and initially belonged to the Oberamt Ellwangen and from 1810 to the Oberamt Aalen . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Hüttlingen came to the Aalen district in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In the course of the district reform of 1973 , Hüttlingen was in the Ostalb district.

Religions

In Hüttlingen there is a Roman Catholic and a Protestant church community. The Catholic community Heilig Kreuz belongs to the deanery Ostalb . The Protestant parish of Wasseralfingen-Hüttlingen is part of the Evangelical State Church in Württemberg .
