history

Hilzingen

Five found on Hilzinger district Roman coins dating n. Chr in a Nachlimeszeit 341-354. 2009 was discovered in the new development area "Homboll", on the northern outskirts of Hilzingen, skeletal parts from a Alemanni grave of the 6th or 7th century AD. This belongs to a row of burial grounds that was discovered 90 years ago, but was then forgotten again. Only in this way was it possible that the excavator had already torn down ten such ancient graves during the construction work before the archaeologists could hurry up. About 20 graves have been found since 2009. They come from a cemetery from the 6th or 7th century AD and thus to the early settlement phase of today's Hilzingen. The associated settlement could have been in the lower village near the Mühlbach. Another settlement center of Hilzingen was in the east of the place in Oberdorf, where a second cemetery is known from this time. The earliest Alemanni grave from Hilzingen comes from the residential area "Zwischen Wegen". It shows that the first Alemanni discovered the advantages of settlement in Hilzingen as early as the fourth century.

The first written mention of Hilzingen as Hiltesinga comes from the year 1005. After 1660 the place passed from Austria to the Petershausen monastery .

In the Grand Duchy of Baden , Hilzingen had been the seat of the Obervogteiamt Hilzingen since 1803, after the Petershausen Monastery had fallen to the Grand Duchy. From 1806 it was a civil office in the province of Upper Rhine, but in 1809 it was already included in the lake district with its seat in Constance and finally dissolved in 1813 and added to the office of Blumenfeld. In 1857 the community belonged to the seat of Engen. Since its dissolution, the place belonged to the district of Konstanz, today district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg.

Go on

In 1633 René du Puy-Montbrun, seigneur de Villefranche et de la Jonchère managed to escape, he had the village of Weiterdingen cremated, and he handed the castle of Weiterdingen and the rule of Grüningen over to the Württemberg council of Offenburg.

On November 11th 1442 Duke Reinold von Urslingen died in Weiterdingen. The history of Hilzingen's local mountain, the Hohenstoffeln , is also linked to that of Hornstein .
