The history of Klingen is closely linked to Klingenstein Castle , which was south of the town. The castle was built in the 13th century and finally burned down during the German Peasant War . The Burgstall is now listed as a ground monument. Like the other districts of Bieberehren, the village belonged for a long time to the Reichelsberg office of the Lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck . Klingen is predominantly Lutheran, but the Catholic branch church of Bieberehren has been located here since 1883.
