Sub-locations

In addition to the village of Storzingen, the Neuhaus homestead belongs to Storzingen .

history

The place name is probably derived from the word Storz = "bald cut down mountain ridge". Compare the word Storza (Alemannic) = tree stump. Storzingen was named by the first settlers after a characteristic feature of the landscape. Compare the name of the “Storz” ridge in the suburb of Unterböhringen near Bad Überkingen.

Storzingen was first mentioned in a document in 843 in a deed of gift. Landlord Adalhart and his wife Swanaburg donated the village to the St. Gallen Monastery . As a fiefdom of the Counts of Lupfen , the place was bought in 1419 by the Counts of Werdenberg . In 1160, Emperor Friedrich I von Staufen (Barbarossa) placed Storzingen and the parish church under his protection.

Between 1212 and 1534 the feudal lords changed frequently. From 1419 Storzingen was part of the Jungnau rule . In 1534 the sovereignty passed to the house of the Counts of Fürstenberg of the Heiligenberg line, whose family passed into the imperial princehood in 1664.

The Thirty Years War (1618–1648) did not cause devastating damage until 1632–1635. The plague raged particularly hard in Storzingen. Of the 29 families, only nine households with three farmers and six mercenaries survived the devastation.

The Jungnau rule came to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen in 1806 . Storzingen belonged to Jungnau until 1840, then came to Straßberg until 1854 , then to the Oberamt Gammertingen until 1925 and with this to the district of Sigmaringen .

Storzingen was only brought out of isolation with the construction of the railway line in 1878. This enabled many people to commute to the factories in Ebingen , which significantly improved the standard of living.

The municipality of Storzingen was incorporated into Stetten am kalten Markt on January 1, 1972 at its own request and thus moved to the Stockach district . In the course of the district reform in 1973 , the Stockach district was dissolved and the municipality of Stetten am kalten Markt was assigned to the Sigmaringen district with effect from January 1, 1973.

It was not until 1979 that Storzingen was connected to the nearby federal highway 463 and could therefore no longer only be reached via Stetten.

Population development

With 352 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2014), the place is the second largest suburb of the municipality.

Culture and sights

Buildings

  • The Catholic parish church of St. Zeno is the religious center of Storzingen. The parish church was mentioned as early as 1147 as part of the property of the Cistercian monastery Salmannsweil / Salem. In 1758 pastor Johann Christoph Zembroth had a new church built with valuable facilities at his own expense. His successor, Pastor Josef Fidel Karle from Sigmaringen, donated the high altar, erected 1766–1967, and the side altars with the valuable panels by the painter Meinrad von Au .
  • Weckenstein Castle : South of the village on the right side of the Schmei there are the ruins of the medieval castle built by the knight Burkard von Weckenstein .
