geography

Nieder-Klingen lies on the western slope of the Otzberg and is traversed by the Semme .

history

The place name "Klingen" is traced back to the old meaning "Gießbach" or "Talschlucht". The name "Klingen" could also indicate the various ore deposits that have been exploited in the immediate vicinity of the Otzberg . One of today's two blades was mentioned as early as 1223 as "Clingen". A distinction was made in 1383 for Ober-Klingen and 1357 for Nieder-Klingen.

The following documents are documented: In
1391, Count Palatine Ruprecht Dieter Gans von Otzberg granted a Wittum for his wife on Nieder-Klingen.
1524 Nieder-Klingen belongs to Otzberg Castle .

Ober- and Nieder-Klingen belonged to the Umstadt district until 1521 and were then awarded to the Oberamt Otzberg in the Electoral Palatinate as a result of the Landshut War of Succession . The Oberamt Otzberg came to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1803 as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . With the exchange contract between the Hesse-Darmstadt and the Lord von Löwenstein-Wertheim on February 5, 1805, the Habitzheim office came about, which in 1806 fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse through the Rhine Confederation Act . The lower jurisdiction remained with Mr. Löwenstein-Wertheim until 1822.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Nieder-Klingen in 1829:

»Niederklingen (L. Bez. Breuberg) reform. Filialdorf; is 2 1 ⁄ 4 St. from Breuberg and belongs to the Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. The place has 74 houses and 446 inhabitants, who are Reformed except for 25 Lutherans and 15 Catholics. - From Churpfalz, Niederklingen came to Hessen in 1802, which exchanged the same for Löwenstein in 1805 until it was under Hess in 1806. Your Highness came. "

Nieder-Klingen has always been shaped by agriculture. There are a large number of associations in which a large part of the population is involved. The elementary school built after the war is now the community's day-care center.
