Surname

The old name of both the long village and the short village is Erchingen ; the addition Kurz (en) - is first documented in 1316 ( Kurtzenerchingen ; next to it as early as 1312: in villa zem long Erchingen ) and is due to the different shape of the two parts of the settlement: Kurzenerchingen was a so-called cluster village , while Langenerchingen was a long street village .

The replacement of the name Erchingen by the simple word dorf appears for the first time in 1328 (ze der obrun kilchun ze Erchingen ... ze der kilchun ze dem Kurzendorfe ) and was completed in the 18th century (1743 by Heini Funsting from Langen Erchingen now Langdorff called ).
