history

Stetten was first mentioned in a document in 1275 in the Liber decimationis . The place belonged to the Haigerloch rule . In 1344 the place appears in the possession of Count Ostertag von Zollern. At that time, Stetten was part of the Haimburg rule , but later returned to the Haigerloch rule. The Counts of Hohenberg also owned parts and rights of Stetten. The lords of Stetten were Hohenberg feudal people.

At the beginning of the 15th century, the Lords of Archshofen owned Stetten. Ownership changed to the Lords of Bubenhofen in 1428 (headquarters near Rosenfeld ). Over the years, these parts of the place sold to the Counts of Zollern until the entire place was again owned by the Zollern. The vassals of the Zollern, the lords of Weitingen, gradually acquired the rule of Haimburg and thus also came into the possession of Stetten. Due to financial hardship, the place was sold back to the Zollern in 1542. By Karl I von Hohenzollern the place came back to Haigerloch in 1575.

After the death of Karl I in 1576 and the resulting division of the Hohenzollern inheritance, Stetten came to the newly created county of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch . After the Haigerloch line died out in 1767, the place came with the rule to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . In 1806, Stetten was assigned to the newly established Haigerloch Oberamt . From 1850 the place became part of the Hohenzollern Land and thus Prussian . With the dissolution of the Haigerloch Oberamt in 1925, Stetten became part of the Hechingen district , which was added to the Zollernalb district as part of the 1973 district reform . On December 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Stetten bei Haigerloch was incorporated into the town of Haigerloch.
