history
The area between Baldingen and Pfohren has been populated since the younger Stone Age (around 4000 BC ), as evidenced by some finds from the area.

Baldingen was first mentioned in writing in a document from the St. Gallen Monastery from 769 as Villa Baldinga . Another document from the year 854 also mentions a chapel owned by St. Gallen, which is one of the earliest known places of worship on the Baar . From the 12th century, the town was under the rule of from Geisingen coming of Vartenberk . Count Heinrich von Fürstenberg was enfeoffed by Rudolf I von Habsburg with the Baar landscape in 1283 , which became a landgraviate . The first documentary mention of the separation of the place into an upper and lower Baldingen can be dated to 1302. The lower Baldingen came in 1321 as a home for Baldingen Furstenberg after the sex of Wartenberger was extinct. When Duke Ulrich von Württemberg carried out the Reformation in his country in 1534 , Oberbaldingen , which had been in Württemberg since 1376, became Protestant , whereas Unterbaldingen remained Catholic . In 1806, Unterbaldingen was assigned to the Grand Duchy of Baden , but sovereignty remained with the Count or Prince of Fürstenberg. On April 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Unterbaldingen had to join the Bad Dürrheim municipality , although Unterbaldingen is much closer to the city of Geisingen.

Justification of the coat of arms: The red lion reminds of the Lords of Wartenberg , who ruled over Unterbaldingen before the Fürstenbergs . The 16- toothed blue edge of the cloud that surrounds the lion reminds of the former affiliation with the Fürstenberg family . The coat of arms was proposed by the Baden General State Archives in 1902 and then accepted by the Unterbaldingen municipal council. Since then, Unterbaldingen has the right to use a coat of arms and did not lose it after it was incorporated . |
