history

Eigeltingen

The name Eigeltingen goes back to a clan leader named "Aigold" who settled here in the 3rd or 4th century.

Eigeltingen was first mentioned in 764 in a deed of donation from the St. Gallen monastery . In the following centuries, ecclesiastical and secular rulers changed frequently, until the place became part of Württemberg in 1806 and finally to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1810 . There the place, like the later incorporated districts, belonged to the Stockach district for a long time before it came to the district of Constance during the district reform in 1973 .

Districts

Heudorf im Hegau

Heudorf was first mentioned in a document in 1173. 1665 comes the place with the Landgraviate of Nellenburg in front of Austria . In the course of mediatization , the community then fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 , and four years later to the Grand Duchy of Baden .

Honstetten

The Honstetten district is possibly first mentioned in a document as " Hohunstati " around the year 700 and is thus the oldest part of the community. However, Hohunstati could also mean the hamlet of Hornstaad on Lake Constance. Even Hauenstein near Waldshut could be an option. For example, the noble family von Griessen (also Griessheim), who live in Waldshut and are wealthy in the county of Hauenstein, call themselves “ Johans von Griesshein called von Honstetten ” in a document from 1347 .

The district is characterized by its many clubs, such as the music club, the Honstetten lawn sports club, the volunteer fire brigade , the church choir, the women's community, the youth group, the jester club Wasserburger Talgeister and the Guggenmusik Schtäggenäschter. In the vicinity of the village are the remains of the Tudoburg , the ancestral castle of the former local lords. In the center of the village, the Speicher ( Spiecher ) has been preserved as a medieval defense and residential tower. Furthermore, the ruins of the moated castle are located in the local area of Honstetten .

Eckartsbrunn, around two kilometers from Honstetten, is a hamlet that belongs to Honstetten. In the course of excavations at the beginning of the 20th century, Roman remains of a settlement were found here. The Romans chose a spot with a clear view: In addition to Lake Constance, Bodanrück and Untersee, to the west you also have a good view of the Hegauberge . The church (chapel) consecrated to Kosmas and Damian was a pilgrimage church and a meeting place for doctors and pharmacists until the beginning of the last century.
