Nidingen
Nidingen is a desert on the northern edge of the district of Riegel am Kaiserstuhl in Breisgau .
location
Nidingen was between Kenzingen and Riegel, not far from the bridge that today leads the L105 district road over the A5 motorway.
history
The old Alemannic settlement was first mentioned in 762 as Nüdingen in the will of Bishop Heddo of Strasbourg , who gave it to the Ettenheimmünster monastery. Nidingen had a St. Nikolaus chapel , to which the field name "Im Klausen" and an inscription "Klausenhöfe" on a building indicate. From 1152 to 1244 there was a community of sisters in Nidingen, which later moved to the Cistercian convent Wonnental in Kenzingen. In a document dated April 3, 1244, Burkart and Rudolf von Üsenberg granted the Nidingen sisters wood and forest rights and took them under their protection.
The inhabitants left the village as early as the 12th century and some of them moved to Riegel. The Nikolauskapelle, which remained standing, was mentioned in 1341 and 1483. In 1659 the remaining stones were used to build the Franciscan monastery in Kenzingen.
Nidingen is nowhere to be seen. On March 22, 2013, a memorial stone was unveiled to commemorate the disappeared village.
