history

In the 6th and 7th centuries Slavs and Avars invaded the Heinfels area again and again . The region was Christianized under the Bavarian Duke Tassilo III. The village names "Tessenberg" and "Tassenbach" are derived from him. Tessenperch was first mentioned in a document in 1266 and around 1300 there is the first mention of a farm in the Panzendorf area. The municipality of Ponzendorf was only mentioned in 1364 . The name of the community, Heinfels, comes from the local Heinfels Castle , the founding of which is attributed to the legend after the Huns . In fact, however, the castle was probably founded by the Avars. Over the centuries the name Hunnenvels eventually became Heinfels.

In 1974, by merging the communities of Panzendorf and Tessenberg, the community of Heinfels was created.

A partnership with the municipality of Oberderdingen (Baden-Württemberg, district of Karlsruhe) has existed since 1991 .
