geography

Kicklingen is located south of the Danube in the Donauried , at an altitude of 417 meters.

history

The oldest archaeological finds go back to the Neolithic . Large barrows point to the settlement during the Late Bronze Age and the Hallstatt Period . In the Celtic period was bog iron smelting. Row grave finds in the village suggest an Alemannic foundation in the 7th century.

Today's Kicklingen district is made up of the two districts Kicklingen and Kirstatt . In the first quarter of the 11th century, the name "Chichlingen" was first recorded in writing. The district of Kicklingen had a parish church consecrated to St. Ulrich , which was probably given up after the Thirty Years' War in favor of today's parish and pilgrimage church of Our Lady in the Moos in the district of Kirstatt. A cross in Bühlstrasse still reminds of the location of the old parish church.

In the middle of the 13th century Kicklingen was owned by the Duchy of Carinthia and in 1280 came to the Duchy of Bavaria . The Dukes of Carinthia and later the Dukes of Bavaria gave the Kicklinger property as a fief , whose owners were initially the lords of Altheim (1256), later the lords of Thürheim (until after 1447), the lords of Grafeneck (around 1456), the family Raiser (before 1491) and from 1517 the Langenmantel family . In 1561 Kicklingen came to Pfalz-Neuburg , which exercised state sovereignty . The lower jurisdiction was transferred to a Vogt .

The Lords of Chichilingen mentioned in six sources in the second half of the 12th century did not come from Kicklingen near Dillingen. It is a Welf ministerial from the defunct Kicklingen near Uttenhofen , a district of Ziemetshausen and the former main possession of the Welf. The former location northeast of the village is referred to as "Kücklinger" in the liquidation plan of the Uttenhofen district from around 1830 (Günzburg surveying office) and was known as "Kicklinger Flur" until the 20th century.

In the district of Kirstatt, which is located around today's parish and pilgrimage church of Our Lady in Moos, there was a noble residence of a lower noble family in the High Middle Ages . The lords of Kirstatt can be traced from 1146 to 1269/71. Since two inns next to the church are occupied in 1441, it is assumed that Kirstatt was the destination of a pilgrimage as early as the 15th century. In 1425, Kirstatt became the property of the Carthusian Monastery of Christgarten and after the monastery was dissolved in the middle of the 17th century it passed to the Counts of Oettingen-Oettingen . Kicklingen, with which Kirstatt had now merged, was sold in 1701 to the Carthusian monks of Buxheim . In 1718 the Bartholomäer Institute in Dillingen acquired the properties that the institute held until it was abolished in 1803 in the course of secularization .

Around 1560 Kicklingen consisted of five farms, four field fiefs, 38 Sölden and seven housemates. Kirstatt consisted of a farm and three brines. There were nine landlords , of which the St. Ulrich and Afra monastery in Augsburg was the most important. Kicklingen consisted of 83 houses in 1813 and 140 in 1961.

In 1959 and 1981 land consolidations were carried out in Kicklingen . The formerly independent municipality became a district of the large district town of Dillingen on the Danube through the municipal reform on May 1, 1978 .
