history

The place is first mentioned in 1140 as Maerdingen . In 1371 and 1408, the Nördlingen hospital acquired the place, including the bailiwick and church set, from the Nell von Aufhausen and the von Katzenstein families . Mörtingen, at that time still a village with its own church (St. Lorenz), was probably destroyed in the city war of 1442/49 and never regained its old importance.

Between the 15th century and after 1896 the place was called Mörtinger Höfe .
