history
Leinzell was first mentioned in a document in 1259 under the name Cella . In 1409 the place was under the name cell at the Lyn , 1426 as Lynzelle mentioned. In the 15th century, the Ellwangen Abbey was converted into the Prince Provost of Ellwangen , and Leinzell was given as a fief. From 1360 to 1483 Leinzell (with a short interruption) was given to the Gmünder Taler family . Rosina Taler, the widow of the last Taler, married Rudolf von Westerstetten; In 1484 he took over the rule of the village under the suzerainty of Albrecht Propst zu Ellwangen. In 1530 Leinzell came to the von Horkheim family, in 1604 to Jörg Christoph von Ursenbeck and in 1612 to Hans Burkhard von Fauber auf Randegg.
In 1636 (in the middle of the Thirty Years War ) Valentin von Lang, who had initially worked in the administration of the Archdiocese of Bremen, was enfeoffed with Leinzell. The Lang family lived in Leinzell and determined village life for 170 years until the time of the Imperial Knights came to an end and during the course of secularization in 1806, Leinzell fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg , where it was assigned to the Oberamt Gmünd . In 1810 Leinzell became an independent municipality. The compulsory labor of the citizens of Leinzeller was not regulated until 1842 by a redemption contract, the Baron von Lang received the last installment in 1874; From this point on, the citizens of Leinzeller were exempt from all compulsory labor. In 1938, as part of a regional reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Leinzeill was assigned to the district of Gmünd, which from 1941 was officially called the district of Schwäbisch Gmünd . With the district reform in 1973 , Leinzell became part of the new Ostalb district .

Religions
The construction of the Catholic Church in Leinzell in its current form began in 1776. Before that, the church was particularly noticeable due to its lack of structural substance and minor furnishings. The church was completed in 1783 and the altars were finally erected in 1805. The painted ceiling, which shows the assumption of Mary into heaven, is by Johann Nepomuk Nieberlein , who among other things designed the station chapels of the Stations of the Cross to the Schönenbergkirche in Ellwangen .
It was not until 1971 that the construction of a Protestant parish hall began because a hall for church events, youth rooms and a vicar's apartment were urgently needed. In 1980 the parish of Eschach was separated and the parish of Göggingen-Leinzell became independent. Church services alternate weekly in Leinzell and Göggingen.

Culture and sights
The Leinzeller Castle was built by the Lang family around 1650 on the ruins of a fortification that was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. Even after the Lang family lost power, the castle remained in their possession and was only sold in 1990 from the possession of Baroness Brigitte von Lang. The conversion into a hotel failed due to the concerns of the Baden-Württemberg State Monuments Office , after all, the castle was used as a residence for asylum seekers for several years. Today the castle is privately owned again and is inhabited and renovated by the owners Helmut and Sylvia Wickleder.

In 1720 a lithopedion was discovered in the body of a 90-year-old inhabitant of Leinzell , which she had carried with her for 46 years. The Steinkind von Leinzell is considered to be one of the best preserved Lithopaedia. The personal physician of King George I , Johann Georg Steigerthal , wrote a first description of the find . In 1854 the stone child was the subject of a dissertation by W. Kieser. Today the Steinkind von Leinzell is in the collection of the University of Tübingen.
