history

Staufeneck Castle

Half-timbered house in Salach

Until early modern times

The Roman fort Eislingen-Salach is built over by the “Steiniger Esch” industrial park . It probably existed between AD 125 and AD 159.

In 1275 Salach was first mentioned in writing in the Liber decimationis tax register of the Diocese of Constance . At that time there was already a parish. The Lords of Staufeneck ruled and sold the place to the Counts of Rechberg in 1333 . After the Rechberg main line died out, the Counts of Degenfeld took over the village.

There has been evidence of a school in the village since 1608. After the battle of Nördlingen , the Swabian territories were defenselessly exposed to the wandering troops. Salach was almost completely devastated in 1635.

Since the 19th century

With the mediatization Salach came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 and was assigned to the Oberamt Göppingen .

In 1847 Salach was connected to the route network of the Württemberg state railways with the new Filstalbahn .

During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Salach came to the Göppingen district in 1938. In 1945 Salach became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
