history
The place Sclata was first mentioned in 1134 in a founding report of the Zwiefalten monastery . Schlatt belonged to the County of Zollern for a long time until it was sold to Württemberg in 1415 . Count Eitelfriedrich I von Hohenzollern bought back large parts of the county between 1433 and 1437, including Schlatt. During the Thirty Years' War , the Swedes, allied with Württemberg, burned the village on Shrovetide in 1634. Between 1830 and 1866 a famine and wave of emigration associated with the recession weakened the place, so that the population fell from 706 to 591.
During the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , Schlatt was incorporated into Hechingen on April 1, 1972.
