history

Waldensian stone

Neuhengstett is a Waldensian village . The Protestant religious refugees from Piedmont and Savoy were able to settle in Württemberg from 1699 on the initiative of Duke Eberhard Ludwig . On September 1, 1700, 28 families with a total of 134 people founded the place they initially called Le Bourcet . The name was chosen based on the Italian village Bourcet in the Cottian Alps , from which a large part of the settlers came. The settlement was built on land that was no longer cultivated in the course of the Thirty Years' War and the subsequent plague epidemic and had become wasteland . Most of the allocated settlement area previously belonged to Simmozheim . Möttlingen had to cede the second largest share . The remaining areas came in equal parts from Hengstett (today: Althengstett) and from Hirsau monastery property . In 1711 Le Bourcet was officially renamed Neu-Hengstett , from which the current name without hyphen arose later. This renaming took place because several other names were in use for the settlement ( Abeldorf , Welsch-Hengstett or Simmozheimer Colonie ) and misunderstandings were to be avoided . In 1881 the town was built north a memorial stone commemorating the history Neuhengstetts and to the originally colonizing Waldensian, which by the local population as Waldensian stone is called.

Neuhengstett came to the Oberamt Calw in 1808 when the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg in 1938, Neuhengstett came to the Calw district.

As part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , the previously independent municipality of Neuhengstett was incorporated into the municipality of Althengstett on October 1, 1974. Only the village of the same name and the deserted Schlehdorn (also called Schleichdorn or Sledorn ), which is located in the east of the village , belonged to the municipality of Neuhengstett . Schlehdorn is a place that was abandoned before Neuhengstett was founded and already existed in 1300 at the latest.
