Remchingen is located in the south of the Kraichgau on the edge of the northern Black Forest in a hilly landscape. The northern Black Forest ends about 10 km south in the municipality of Straubenhardt. Instead of the pine forest typical of the Black Forest, deciduous forests characterize the many forests here. The relatively mild climate in Remchingen is characterized by the Rhine Valley (close to Karlsruhe) and the Pfinztal.

Due to their scenic beauty, the typical orchards and rare plants, three areas are designated as landscape protection areas.

history

Older story

1st millennium BC Chr. Celtic settlement (grave finds in 1947 in Singen)
Roman settlement between 80 and 90 AD (numerous finds, including two pillars of denial from Nöttingen, two four-god stones immured in the churches of Nöttingen , inscription plate from the settlement Vicus Senotensis )

After the Romans fled their flight around 260 AD, the Alamanni settled the land to the right of the Rhine, but a little over two centuries later after a great battle in 496 they were forced by the Franconian tribe to give up the Kraichgau and the landscape up to vacate the Murg.

The first written mentions of Remching districts date back to the 8th century: On June 1, 769 in “Sigincheim im Pfinzgau” (first mention of Singen) four Franks gave Lorsch monastery a farm yard, 34 acres of arable land, a meadow and a piece of forest . Between 888 and 893, the abbot of this monastery exchanged other ownership of this monastery in "Vulvirincha", today's Wilferdingen, for the same area in Illingen, southeast of Maulbronn (Wilferdingen is mentioned for the first time).

Around 825, a certain Noting, probably related to the Counts of Calw , gave the Reichenau monastery goods in Nöttingen, Dietenhausen and Singen, which at that time, like the entire northern Pfinztal, were in the Ufgau , according to a source from the 16th century .

1160: First mention of the Lords of Remchingen , a lower nobility family. They probably built a moated castle, Remchingen Castle , out of wood on the site of today's outdoor swimming pool.

1278: Darmsbach is mentioned for the first time, a settlement that only developed in the High Middle Ages

shortly after 1300: The Lords of Remchingen sold their moated castle. Later they temporarily bought back shares in the castle, but then sold them to the Margraves of Baden for good in 1568 .

Around 1460 the pilgrimage chapel of our dear Frau zur Eich was built near today's Sperlingshof , but was abandoned again between 1520 and 1540. In 1568 rights to the former chapel were transferred from the Herrenalb monastery to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach. From the former buildings (chapel and outbuildings) only artefacts in the Gewann "monastery" testify today.

16th century: Nöttingen, Singen and Wilferdingen took part in the Bundschuh rebellion (1502) and the Peasants' War (1525)

April 14, 1604: Margrave Ernst Friedrich von Baden died in a Calvinist religious war campaign against Pforzheim near Remchingen Castle
