history

Neidlingen 1683/1685 in Kieser's forest inventory book

The place name goes back to the personal name Nidilo , the settlement was founded around 400 by the Alamanni. Neidlingen appears earlier than the majority of the other district communities as Nitlinga in written records: In 797 the place was first mentioned in a document of the Lorsch Codex . The high authorities changed several times, in 1564 the then owners, the Lords of Freyberg, were given high jurisdiction by the Kaiser , so that Neidlingen had achieved full imperial immediacy. In 1596 Neidlingen finally fell to Württemberg through inheritance . The direct imperial rule became a special Württemberg office, the Vogtei Neidlingen. In addition to the Kirchheim office, she led her own life until the 19th century.

The Lindach Valley was settled very early, as is shown by finds from the Neolithic Age . On the Butzenberg, which is also called Lichtenstein, a fortification from the Bronze Age burial mounds is suspected, on the Erkenberg one from the Hallstatt period ; a small Celtic statuette was also found in the Heimenstein cave. The road through the valley dates from Roman times.

Two moated castles from the 13th century were in the village, but have long since gone. After the younger one was destroyed in 1517, a four-wing moated castle was built a few meters north until 1536 (easy to see on the drawing by Andreas Kieser).

During the Second World War , the community was shelled by enemy fighter bombers on April 20, 1945, in which a building caught fire and two residents were killed. On April 21, the German Wehrmacht tried to prevent the Americans from climbing to the Alb at the intersection of Hepsisau-Neidlingen, but they arrived at 11:00 am with tanks, which ended the war in Neidlingen. Land consolidations took place between 1972 and 1991.
