history

Mögglingen was first mentioned in a document in 1143 . For a long time the place belonged to the land area of ​​the imperial city Schwäbisch Gmünd . When this fell to the Electorate of Wuerttemberg due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 , Mögglingen also became part of Wuerttemberg. When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806 , Mögglingen was assigned to the Oberamt Gmünd . During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Mögglingen came to the Gmünd district in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. When the district of Schwäbisch Gmünd was dissolved by the district reform in 1973 , Mögglingen went to the new Ostalb district .

Culture and sights

Remstal Garden Show 2019

Libertas statue

From May 10 to October 20, 2019, a green project of the state of Baden-Württemberg took place in Remstal , in which Mögglingen is also participating. This Remstal garden show 2019 is one of the "small" garden shows that alternate annually with the state garden shows.

In this context, the Remsufer was redesigned as the "Remsaue" at the inlet of the Lauter . On the hill north of the community west of the Limes parking lot on the state road L1158 towards Heuchlingen was at 370  m above sea level. NHN built an observation tower.

Mögglingen took part in the “16 stations”, the garden show's architectural project, with a “Statue of Liberty”. This represents the Roman goddess Libertas and is reminiscent of the Roman Limes , which used to run north of Mögglingen. But it is also a reminiscence of a scaled-down copy of the New York Statue of Liberty , which for years was a symbol of the Mögglings' desire for a bypass road and which stood on Federal Highway 29 until its completion in spring 2019 . After long arguments with the architect, the Libertas statue was erected west of the observation tower at a remote location on the edge of the forest.
