history

Northwest view of Sipplingen

The area around Sipplingen has been populated for a very long time. The very well-preserved sequence of sediment layers on the Sipplinger shores of Lake Constance proved to be a rich archaeological site for Stone Age , Neolithic and Bronze Age pile dwellings . Around 20 settlements have now been identified. Dendrochronological studies date the first settlement to exactly 3919 BC. And the last to 933 BC. In addition, a prehistoric shoe was found in 2008 by diving archaeologists from the State Office for Monument Preservation in Baden-Württemberg in a shallow water zone near Sipplingen. It is a very well-preserved sandal made of linden bast, which was made between 2917 and 2856 BC. Is dated.

The village of Sipplingen probably originated between the 6th and 8th centuries. The place is mentioned for the first time in writing in a document from 1155, in which Emperor Friedrich I (Barbarossa) determined the boundaries of the diocese of Constance .

Sipplingen belonged to the Landgraviate of Nellenburg in the Holy Roman Empire and fell to the Electorate in 1805, and from 1806 to the Kingdom of Württemberg . The border treaty of 1810 made Sipplingen part of the Grand Duchy of Baden . There the community belonged to the Überlingen district office, and since June 25, 1939 to the Überlingen district .

Sipplingen developed in relative isolation for a long time. Due to its steep bank location, roads and rail connections to neighboring communities were not built until the 19th century. In the 20th century, agriculture, which had prevailed until then, lost its importance and the place developed into a residential community.

In 1945 the place became part of the French occupation zone and thus belonged to the newly founded southern state of Baden , which in 1952 became part of the southern Baden administrative district of the new state of Baden-Württemberg. In 1973 the district reform in Baden-Württemberg took place , when Sipplingen became part of the Lake Constance district .
