history
The first documentary mention of immense things goes back to the year 1101. Scientific studies have shown that the district was already around 1500 BC. Christ was settled.
Immendingen was created at the intersection of ancient trade routes. The place name ending -ingen suggests that the settlement is of Alemannic origin. The name goes back to an Alemannic tribal father who settled with his clan in the valley floor of the Danube.
antiquity
Various finds attest that Immendingen was settled well before it was mentioned in a document in 1101. The 55 Roman coins found in 1905 are of great importance in this context. They were minted in London and Trier and show images of the emperors of Trajan, Decius and Constantine.
middle Ages
In the Carolingian era , the place with the Aitrach valley belonged to the Hegau and was assigned to the Baar in the 12th century . Originally owned by the Counts of Zollern , the area eventually passed to the Zähringers . The landgraves of the Baar had the higher jurisdiction. In 1250 it was taken over by the Counts of Fürstenberg . The local rulers shaped the life of the village for many centuries. Important families of the local rulers were the Lords of Schreckenstein at the Upper Castle and the Lords of Reischach at the Lower Castle .
Immendingen was badly affected in the Reich War against the federal peasants in 1444 and was punished severely in the Peasants' War in 1524.
Former castles
In the municipal area were Burg Darrendobel , the castle Immendingen , the castle Höwenegg that Heidenburg and the castle office Hausen (also castle rooms called).
Modern times
Bohnerz was discovered in the area in the Middle Ages . At the beginning of the 17th century, the Counts von Fürstenberg had a smelting works built in the Ippingen district .
The Thirty Years' War spared the area until 1632. The following years of war brought horror and misfortune to the population through looting, pillage, hunger and plague. When the war ended, it took a lot of effort to alleviate poverty. But the need did not stop. Immendingen suffered considerably from the wars of conquest of Louis XIV. The constant movements of troops by the Napoleonic armies caused deep debt.
Baden time
In 1806 the imperial knighthood and the rights of local rule were abolished and the community was assigned to the Grand Duchy of Baden .
In 1807 the Upper Castle was bought by the Fürstenberg family. In 1812, the Fürstenberg family decided to build a new smelting plant, the Amalienhütte, in Bachzimmer . As early as 1835, Baden's first machine factory was set up in the Upper Castle. Years later it was moved to the Lower Castle. With the construction of the railroad at the end of the 19th century, economic life experienced a gratifying revival. In 1867 the Donaueschingen – Immendingen line was opened to traffic. Three years later, rail traffic on the Immendingen – Tuttlingen line was opened. In 1890 the Wutach Valley Railway was inaugurated. Immendingen was thus an important railway junction. Following on from decades of railway history, Immendingen was given the management and workshop for the ring train in 2003 .
The two world wars resulted in setbacks and devastating effects. The last days of the war in 1945 brought the front with all its horrors and problems into the community.
post war period
After the Second World War Immendingen fell into the French occupation zone and thus came to the southern post-war state of Baden , which in 1952 became the administrative district of South Baden in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
After the total collapse, the community and its citizens had to do considerable work to repair the damage caused by the war and to create living space and work opportunities for the population. Due to the brisk construction activity, the population rose sharply. Numerous refugees and displaced persons found a new home. The establishment of a Bundeswehr garrison in 1958 gave new impetus for further upward development. A modern infrastructure was created with considerable effort in modern times. After a thorough renovation, the Upper Castle has been the seat of the local government since 1963. The construction of the Danube Hall was followed by the castle school in 1965 and ten years later the new school building of the Reischach-Realschule.
In 1973 the district reform in Baden-Württemberg took place , when Immendingen came from the district of Donaueschingen to the district of Tuttlingen .
Together with the special needs school and now also a “school of life”, the community has a small education center that was significantly expanded at the end of the last century. The municipality set further standards with the designation of the leisure center and the construction of the large sports hall in 1985.
Incorporations
In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg on January 1, 1971, the hitherto independent municipality Zimmer was incorporated. On December 1, 1971, Mauenheim was incorporated. Hattingen, Hintschingen and Ippingen were incorporated on December 1, 1974.

Economy and Infrastructure
Immendingen was a garrison parish from 1957 to 2016 and a binational location of the Franco-German Brigade from 1996 to 2016 .
From 1996 to 2011 the community was home to the French 3e régiment de hussards - 3e RH (3rd Hussar Regiment).
Since the garrison was closed, the community has successfully transformed itself into a business location, and several large and medium-sized companies have settled in Immendingen since then.
Oberfeldwebel-Schreiber barracks
The then newly built barracks had existed on the Talmannsberg since December 1958 , and since May 27, 1967, was named Oberfeldwebel-Schreiber-Kaserne in memory of the former Knight's Cross . For many years, several reclassified Panzergrenadier and artillery units and offices, the Defense District Command (VKK) 532 and inactive, partly carded units of the Territorial Army were stationed. In October 1996, Immendingen with the artillery battalion 295 , the tank pioneer company 550 and the 3rd French hussar regiment became a location of the Franco-German brigade . Defense administration tasks were performed by the Bundeswehr Service Center stationed in the center of Immendingen (formerly: site administration). In addition to Immendingen, his area of responsibility now also included the Donaueschingen, Müllheim, Efringen-Kirchen, Freiburg, Todtnau-Fahl, Appenweier, Pfullendorf, Ravensburg and Leutkirch-Urlau locations with at times over 7,000 soldiers and civilian members of the Bundeswehr . A total of 1,600 soldiers served in the Oberfeldwebel-Schreiber barracks with the artillery battalion 295, the tank pioneer company 550 and the French 3rd hussar regiment. The latter was relocated to Metz in 2011 . As part of the realignment of the Bundeswehr in 2011, the barracks were closed in the third quarter of 2016.
Daimler test and technology center
The municipality had asked the German Armed Forces to open the 420 hectare area of the Oberfeldwebel-Schreiber barracks in order to open a test track for Daimler AG there. Construction work began in February 2015. In 2018, the test and technology center with 20 test tracks was opened. Daimler invested around 200 million euros. According to the plan, around 300 employees will work on testing assistance systems, autonomous driving functions and electric vehicles. In addition, Daimler’s worldwide vehicle tests are pooled in Immendingen.
Bioenergy village Mauenheim
Mauenheim, a district of Immendingen with around 400 inhabitants and 148 buildings, is the first bioenergy village in Baden-Württemberg (on the grid since November 1, 2006) and the second in Germany after Jühnde in Lower Saxony . The biogas plant and wood chip heating is supplemented by a photovoltaic system. A company was set up to finance and operate the project. According to calculations by the operators, the project should save around 1900 t CO 2 per year.
traffic
Immendingen is an important railway junction for its size , where three railway lines converge. In the station Immendingen that hits Schwarzwaldbahn from Offenburg to Konstanz on the branch line to Tuttlingen. Immendingen is also the starting point for the Wutach Valley Railway via Blumberg to Waldshut , the section of which to Blumberg has been regularly used again since 2004 as part of the Ringzug concept. In addition to the Immendingen train station , Immendingen also has the Immendingen Mitte and Immendingen Zimmer stops . Until 1934 Immendingen was also the end point of the railway line from Stuttgart, since then the trains have run from Tuttlingen directly via Hattingen to Singen. The Hattingen (Baden) depot , where the Tuttlingen – Hattingen line meets the Black Forest Railway , is also in the Immendingen district , so that there are a total of three operating railway lines here, namely the Black Forest Railway, the Tuttlingen – Immendingen railway and the Wutachtal Railway. Immendingen has a very good train connection for its size. Trains of the Black Forest Railway stop here every hour in each direction.
For the operation of the ring train, its operator, the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn , has set up a depot in Immendingen with numerous new jobs, in which the Seehäsle trains on the Radolfzell-Stockach route are now also serviced.
The entrance to the Bodenseautobahn Bundesautobahn 81 is about three kilometers west of Immendingen. Immendingen is on the federal highway 311 and thus has a direct connection to Ulm and Freiburg.
