geography

Stetten is located in the Upper Danube Valley between Nendingen and Mühlheim at the confluence of the Kesselbach into the young Danube at around 633  m above sea level. NN .

history

The place was first mentioned around the year 790. Count Gerold, the brother-in-law and close confidante of Charlemagne, gave his property in Stetten to the monastery on Reichenau before he left for Bavaria. At the end of the 10th century it was named Stetin and in 1409 Stetten by Mülheim . The settlement is likely to be of older origin, as can be seen from the row graves in the immediate vicinity.

Stetten was in clerical and secular possession for centuries. Between 980 and 996, Gebhard II , Bishop of Constance , furnished the Petershausen monastery near Constance with hereditary property. The Allerheiligen monastery near Schaffhausen also owned this property. In 1409 the Counts of Fürstenberg had a fiefdom . Stetten was part of the Mühlheim rule . When this was taken over by the Lords of Enzberg in 1409 , the place became their allod , in which they had all rights. After the death of Frederick VII in 1470 the rule was divided and Stetten passed to Frederick VIII von Enzberg. In 1478 Hans I. von Enzberg bought back most of the Enzberg inheritance from his brother. In 1509, however, the Enzberg property was divided again, with Stetten going to Hans Rudolf von Enzberg. In 1505, Emperor Maximilian confiscated this part of the Enzberg property in favor of Austria. Friedrich von Enzberg zu Mühlheim and Bronnen received his brother's part after an objection. When the gentlemen of Enzberg into financial troubles came in 1653 was the place to the monastery Zwiefalten in Zwiefalten and could only in 1775 again be bought back.

Through them, the place belonged to the knight canton of Hegau , but then Stetten came to Württemberg in 1805/1806 . From 1806 Stetten was an independent municipality in the Württemberg Oberamt Tuttlingen , from 1938 it was the district of Tuttlingen .

With the approval of the state government on January 27, 1962, Stetten was renamed Stetten an der Donau . In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , the previously independent municipality of Stetten an der Donau was incorporated into Mühlheim on December 1, 1971.

religion

As mentioned in 1390, Stetten was a branch of Nendingen . According to the oldest official statistics, the “liber decimationis” of 1275, the pastor of Nendingen was also the pastor of Stetten. This included the burial of the citizens of Stetten in Nendingen. With a treaty from 1781, one third of Stetten's membership was distributed to Nendingen and two thirds to Mühlheim. This division did not end until 1812 when Stetten was completely parish into the parish of Mühlheim and from 1815 the tithes and the monetary interest went to Mühlheim. In 1843 it was raised to an independent parish. Evangelical Christians have been parish in Mühlheim since 1971.
