Klingen is a hamlet in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg , which once belonged to Schmidhausen and with this came to the city of Beilstein in 1971 .
geography
Klingen is located in the Swabian-Franconian Forest about four kilometers northeast of Schmidhausen on a ridge on the left bank of the Schmidbach Valley, which drops from the northeast near Löwenstein to Schmidhausen in the southwest.
history
Klingen is one of the clearing and forest hamlets that were founded in Schmidhausen. The hamlet essentially shares the history of Schmidhausen and came with this and its other hamlets from the Lords of Hummel von Lichtenberg to Württemberg , then to the Lords of Urbach and from these in 1443 to the Count Palatine near Rhine and thereby to the Counts of Löwenstein , who held the property from 1510 as a Württemberg man fief. Ecclesiastically, the place, like all Schmidhausen hamlets, has always been part of Beilstein.
In the 16th century there were four fiefdoms in the hamlet, which shared a total of around 125 acres. With 75 acres, forest made up the largest proportion, followed by fields (30 acres) and meadows (20 acres). In 1753 there were five hearths in Klingen, in 1810 there were 29 inhabitants.
When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Klingen and Schmidhausen were assigned to the Oberamt Marbach in 1810 .
By the middle of the 19th century, the population grew to around 50 people and then stayed at roughly this level until the Second World War. In the second half of the 20th century, Klingen had about 30 inhabitants each.
