The districts are officially named in the form "Kusterdingen- ...", they are spatially identical to the earlier communities of the same name. The local elections carried out in Kusterdingen according to the system of the loggerhead part choice of location , thus forming the districts as residential areas designated constituencies . With the exception of the district of Kusterdingen, all districts are localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code with their own local council and a local mayor as its chairman.

Only the villages of the same name belong to the districts of Immenhausen, Jettenburg and Kusterdingen. The Mähringen village and the Mähringen train station houses belong to the district of Mähringen. The Wankheim district includes the village of Wankheim, the Aspenhau settlement and the Bläsikelter homestead.

In the east of the district Mähringen was the abandoned , no longer existing hamlet of Weiler. Weiler was first mentioned in 1522 as an der wyler . The discovery of a ceramic fragment, which was dated and documented by the State Monuments Office in the 8th century AD, indicates an early settlement. At the same place there was a Schwaige in the 15th century , which is called 1562 ( in schwaig priel ).

history

middle Ages

The place Kusterdingen emerged as a settlement in the time of the Alemannic conquest. During the tribal duchies that existed in the High Middle Ages , the place was in the Duchy of Swabia . For the 12th and 13th centuries, noble free von Kusterdingen were named. Already at the beginning of the 12th century a gentleman named Marquart bequeathed a farm to the Blaubeuren monastery in Kusterdingen. The year of this event was not specified in the document, but in the 1880s it was narrowed down to 1108 through a comparison of various documents by Pastor Casper, which is therefore assumed to be the year Kusterdingen was first mentioned.

After the non-noble family of Kusterdingen died out, the Counts of Aichelberg - Merkenberg , the Bebenhausen monastery and the Lords of Stoffeln took over rulership rights on the site.

In the late Middle Ages, the lower aristocratic family of the Pflumen had their seat in Kusterdingen from 1270 to the late 15th century and exercised local rule there. Since 1484 Kusterdingen belonged to the county (or since 1495 to the duchy) of Württemberg . The place was assigned to the Tübingen office.

Modern times

Duke Ulrich von Württemberg pushed through the Reformation in Württemberg in 1534, so that the community of Kusterdingen also became Protestant. Since 1758 Kusterdingen belonged to the Oberamt Tübingen , with which the place remained even after the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg . During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Kusterdingen came to the enlarged district of Tübingen in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the French zone of occupation and was thus assigned to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which in 1952 became the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

In the course of the community reform in the 1970s, the formerly independent communities had to enter into a connection with Kusterdingen. So the merger was forced against the will of Immenhausen, Mähringen and Wankheim. A complaint from these communities to the State Court was unsuccessful. Jettenburg, which was already working voluntarily with Kusterdingen at the time, had nothing to object to the merger.

In 2008 the district of Kusterdingen celebrated its 900th anniversary.

religion

54% of the residents of Kusterdingen are Protestant, 16% Catholic.

In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a Jewish community in what is now Wankheim , to which a cemetery that still exists today belonged.
