history
Archaeological finds on Siglinger Markung bear witness to the settlement of the area as early as the Neolithic Age , the oldest traces of settlement within the markings date from the third century. The early settlement of the place is probably related to its geographical location and the proximity to old long-distance routes such as the Hohe Straße between Kocher and Jagst and the Jagstquerung near Deitingen .
The first mention was made in a flared 779-802 certificate, in which a Eigilsunt the convent Fulda their goods in Rohe home ( Ruchsen ) and Siginingen donated (Siglingen). In the high Middle Ages, a local nobility appeared with the Lords of Siglingen who owned a manor house in Siglingen, the location of which research is divided. As early as 1300, the Lords of Siglingen were only servants of the Lords of Weinsberg , who from then exercised local authority, while the Lords of Siglingen can only be found elsewhere in later times and the family probably went out in the second half of the 16th century.
In 1363, Emperor Charles IV allowed Engelhard von Weinsberg to fortify the village of Sygenyngen and hold a market there. In the following years a moat was dug and city gates were built. The market was held twice a year until the 20th century, which gave Siglingen the name of market town .
In 1445 Siglingen fell to the Electoral Palatinate , in 1504 to the Duchy of Württemberg . Siglingen already belonged to the Möckmühl office in the Palatinate, but later also in Württemberg. In the Thirty Years' War , in which the town had to suffer from the plague and billeting, Siglingen was almost completely burned down on May 12, 1636. Years of hunger and further troop movements reduced the population from around 400 people before the war to 73 in 1647. Of 71 houses in 1634, 13 still stood in 1652. Although the church was rebuilt as early as 1650, it took around 150 years for the town to grow back to the size it was before the Thirty Years War.
After the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg , the places belonging to the former Möckmühl office came to the Neckarsulm regional office in 1810 . From 1818, Siglingen was the administrative center for the villages of Kreßbach and Reichertshausen. When the Oberamt Neckarsulm was dissolved in 1938, the place became part of the Heilbronn district .
The place survived the Second World War without major damage. On February 27, 1945, the former world record holder for walking, Arthur Tell Schwab , was among the two fatalities in a low-flying attack on a train in Siglingen station. When the front had advanced to Siglingen in April 1945, the place was briefly shelled, but the handover to the Americans took place without a fight.
On January 1, 1975 Siglingen was incorporated into Neudenau. Today the place has about 880 inhabitants. It has no significant infrastructure and is primarily a place of residence for commuters from the surrounding cities and communities. Siglingen is a wine-growing town in the Württemberg wine-growing region with the Hofberg vineyard.
Attractions
The Evangelical Ulrichskirche was probably founded in the 10th century, later rebuilt in the Gothic style and destroyed in 1636. The church , originally laid out as a fortified church, was rebuilt from 1650 and has since been rebuilt and renovated several times. At the church there are two war memorials for the fallen of both world wars as well as a historical children's epitaph. In the center of the village there is also the historic half-timbered wine press in the Weingasse and the Gasthof Traube with its cellar portal from 1583.
