Linsenhofen is a district of the municipality of Frickenhausen in the Esslingen district in Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Linsenhofen is located in the Steinachtal (also called Neuffen Valley), one and a half kilometers south of Frickenhausen .
Linsenhofen neighbors are Frickenhausen in the north, Neuffen in the south-west and Beuren in the south and east .
history
middle Ages
Settlement research assumes that the villages with the endings -hausen and -hofen were founded as expansion sites between 650 and 750. The Steinach Valley was also likely to have been reclaimed during this time. Linsenhofen was evidently mentioned in the Zwiefalter Chronicle of the monks Ortlieb and Berthold in 1137. Among other things, the document noted the donation of "two Huben lands in Lisinhofen to the Zwiefalten monastery". Linsenhofen and Neuffen were acquired by Württemberg in 1301 .
Early modern times: war, plague and their consequences
During the Thirty Years' War the Steinach Valley remained largely unmolested until 1630. However, large payments had to be made to finance the war. In 1630 the offices of Nürtingen and Neuffen had to raise the enormous sum of 35,672 guilders for the time. In 1631/32 Linsenhofen contributed 259 guilders and Frickenhausen 156 guilders to further levies. The economic power of Linsenhofen at that time was significantly higher than that of Frickenhausen. Only after the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634 did the war also hit the Steinach Valley. Walter Butler's notorious dragoons and Croatians plundered the villages. The burden of war rose immeasurably. In 1644 854 guilders were imposed on Linsenhofen, in 1646/47 even 1,612 guilders were imposed. However, only two thirds of this sum could be paid. The plague raged, the population of Linsenhofen was halved. In 1643 there were still 215 inhabitants. When the Thirty Years War ended in 1648, the population did not have long to recover. As early as 1688, the French under General Melac von Esslingen advanced in front of the Hohenneuffen, and Linsenhofen was also plundered during their retreat.
Even without a major war, life in the 18th century remained poor. The costly court of Duke Eberhard Ludwig and his successors played their part.
From the 19th century to the present
Linsenhofen came to the Oberamt Nürtingen in 1806 when the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg was implemented . The administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg led to membership of the newly included district of Nürtingen in 1938 . Since Linsenhofen had become part of the American zone of occupation after the Second World War , the place had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In 1973 the district reform took place in Baden-Württemberg , when Linsenhofen became part of the Esslingen district .
On January 1, 1975 Linsenhofen was incorporated into Frickenhausen.

coat of arms
Blazon: Two striding red-clad men in silver, carrying a green grape on a shouldered red pole.
The local coat of arms can be proven since 1778. The motif used in other wine-growing communities also refers to the Old Testament of the Bible . Then the ambassadors Joshua and Caleb sent to the promised land brought an oversized bunch of grapes from the land of Canaan . In Linsenhofen the coat of arms still says: "Joshua and Caleb carry away a grape" (cf. Numbers / Num. 13,23 EU ). The coat of arms was officially confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg shortly before the incorporation, namely on December 11, 1973.

Population development
