history

Early history

Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area can be found in Roman times. There was an estate in the Schäferesch .

During the Merovingian period , a settlement emerged on the southwestern edge of the district, which, according to archaeological finds, lasted at least into the 13th century. It is the Pippendorf desert . The place name originated in the late Merovingian period. It is derived from an Alemannic gender of the Hatto or Hatten. Settlement in the vicinity of the later village can be assumed. The further development of the settlement is unknown. The districts of Reustadt and Zebedäi probably represent their own settlement centers, which eventually grew together to form a village.

The first written mention of the place Hattenhoven was in 1275 in the Liber decimationis , the tithe book of the diocese of Constance. With the county of Aichelberg, Hattenhofen came to Württemberg from 1334 to 1339 . Until 1365 the place was pledged to the Lords of Lichtenstein. After temporarily belonging to the Kirchheim office , Hattenhofen came to the Göppingen office in 1485.

The Thirty Years' War and the plague also took their toll in Hattenhofen. Of the former 600 inhabitants, only 20 survived until 1637.

Administrative affiliation

In 1938 the community was awarded to the district of Göppingen . Together with the municipalities of Aichelberg , Boll , Dürnau , Gammelshausen and Zell unter Aichelberg , the town has formed the Bad Boll municipal administration association since 1970 .
