history

The place is first mentioned in a document in 1075.

The castle of the nobles of Jungingen , Hohenjungingen Castle , stood on the “ Bürgle ” hill one kilometer south of the village . Around 1278 it passed to the Order of St. John and around 1300 it came to Count Eberhard I of Württemberg . In 1311 the castle was destroyed in the city war of Reutlingen , whereby the village was also burned down.

The most important bearers of the name Jungingen were the two grand master brothers of the Teutonic Order , Konrad von Jungingen and Ulrich von Jungingen . Under Konrad, the Teutonic Order in Prussia experienced its highest heyday (1393-1407), Ulrich fell in the Battle of Tannenberg (1410) , which initiated the decline of the Order State in Prussia.

In 1473 the newly created settlement became Zollerisch .

Jungingen has developed from a farming and craft village to an industrial and residential community in the last few decades. At first it was the craftsmen who made their wooden products and the traders who sold these and other goods such as whips and textiles. Then it was the precision mechanics who provided work, income and thus prosperity in Jungingen. Industrialization in Jungingen began in 1852. At this time, Ludwig Bosch founded a scale factory after he had gained new knowledge about the pendulum scale developed by "mechanic pastor" Philipp Matthäus Hahn as an apprentice in Onstmettingen . At that time, 850 community residents were registered. A hundred years later, in 1950, there were around 1200 people; today the community has almost 1500 inhabitants.

On the evening of June 2, 2008, the residents of Jungingen and the rest of the Killertal fell victim to severe flooding caused by a violent thunderstorm. Two women died after their vehicle was washed up by the water in the flooded Dorfbach Starzel. In the neighboring town of Hechingen , a woman drowned in her basement when she was surprised by the intruding flood. Precipitation amounts of 50 to 80 liters per square meter were measured, the damage amounted to millions. Over 1000 emergency services from the technical relief organization and the fire brigade worked for hours to rescue people trapped by the water.

church

St. New Years Eve

The Jungingen Church was first mentioned in a document in 1466. It should have replaced the former church, the chapel on the Lehr, today: St. Anna Chapel. Due to a lack of space, the St. Silvester Church began in the 15th century at the current location . This included a very massive church tower that has been preserved while the current church building was erected in 1819. This project had cost 16,999  guilders .

The tower offers space for a six-part bell. Among them is the evangelist or farmer's bell from the 14th century, which is Jungingen's most important cultural monument. Another bell is from the 15th, the remaining four from the 20th century.

The copy of the miraculous image of the Mother of God from Einsiedeln in Switzerland , which has been on the grace altar of the church since March 25, 1935, led to a pilgrimage here too .
