history

Early history
Möglingen was first mentioned in 1275 in a document from the Diocese of Constance and in 1278 as "Meginingen" in a document from Count Ulrich von Asperg. At that time there was already a church in town.
In the 13th century Möglingen was largely in the hands of the Count Palatine of Tübingen- Asperg, who sold their remaining share to the House of Württemberg in 1308 . For the time being, however, the Margraves of Baden still retained some of the lordship's rights over individual goods . The Württemberg counts pledged the place several times, but redeemed it again.

In the Thirty Years' War , especially around 1634, "the number of citizens fell from 130 to 32, that of the mostly ashes of houses from 111 to 22". In the following wars of succession Möglingen was again badly damaged: In 1693 French troops destroyed 35 houses, including the town hall.
Mill and waterworks
The Möglinger Mill at Asperger Straße 18, which was documented for 1523, was operated by Conrad Müller at the time. The Lower Leudelsbach , which was called Mühlbach in 1561 and is now partly overturned , had its origins in the " bet " below the rectory. After a short walk through the village, the Furtbach coming from Pflugfelden flowed into the Leudelsbach from the right, which was then usually strong enough to drive the water wheel of the mill.
In the 17th century there was also a powder mill in Möglingen to supply the Hohenasperg fortress , which was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War - probably in 1634 during the siege of the fortress by imperial troops. 1662, Duke Eberhard III. von Württemberg build a powder mill instead on the much more water-bearing Glems near Markgröningen.
In 1727, the grain miller Caspar Siglin was expropriated at the behest of Duke Eberhard Ludwig in order to set up a water hoist instead of the mill to supply drinking water to the newly established residential city of Ludwigsburg . The water from several sources in the area was collected in a well and pumped to a water tower on the "Löscher". The duke owed due compensation and remuneration and thus plunged many of the affected people into misery. Ten years later, operations were stopped again due to insufficient pumping capacity, high operating costs and line damage. Sabotage is also said to have been involved.
The flour mill, which was rebuilt in 1743, also proved to be uneconomical because of the poor efficiency of the Leudelsbach, which is why it changed hands frequently and was shut down in 1904.
Administrative affiliation
Since the 14th century Möglingen belonged to the Württemberg office of Grüningen , from 1718 alternately to the Oberamt Gröningen, which was dissolved in 1807, and from 1762 to the Oberamt Ludwigsburg . This affiliation did not change with the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg, founded in 1806, and remained in place until 1934. In 1934 the Oberamt was renamed the Ludwigsburg district.
During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the community came to the Ludwigsburg district in 1938 . Since the place had become part of the American occupation zone after the Second World War , it had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
Railway history
From 1916 to 1975 Möglingen had its own station on the railway line from Ludwigsburg to Markgröningen opened by the Württemberg State Railways , which was used for special trains until 2002 and has been closed since then.
Religions
The local church set came in the 15th century through the brotherhood in Stuttgart to the Stuttgart hospital , which remained the "grand tenor" and owner of the hospital yard and rectory until the 19th century.
With the introduction of the Reformation from 1535 by Duke Ulrich in Württemberg , Möglingen also became Protestant. The place is still predominantly evangelical today. There are also the Old Pietist Community and the Bessarabic Community , both of which cooperate closely with the regional church. But there is also a Roman Catholic community in the village, as well as an Evangelical Methodist one . The New Apostolic congregation was closed at the end of November 2007.
Population development
Before the Thirty Years War the small farming village had 130 inhabitants. In 1858 there were 1136 inhabitants. In particular through the development of the large Löscher residential area in the 1960s, the community experienced a surge in population due to immigration:
- 1618: 130 inhabitants
- 1858: 1,136 inhabitants
- 1955: 2,500 inhabitants
- 1991: 10,130 inhabitants
- 1995: 10,514 inhabitants
- 2005: 10,449 inhabitants
- 2010: 10,617 inhabitants
- 2015: 11,158 inhabitants
