Neighboring communities are Haunsheim , Ober , Wittislingen and Sachsenhausen ( Baden-Württemberg ).
history
Unterbechingen is mentioned in writing for the first time in 1143 as "Bachingen", which means something like "to the people on the brook", as the upper course of the dwarf or the dwarf brook on which the village is located is still called today. The place itself probably goes back to an Alemannic foundation. Traces of settlement and graves from Celtic times can be found not far from the district , which testify to earlier settlements in the area around Unterbechingen and Haunsheim. (→ see: Haunsheim's early history )
As the mother settlement of Oberbechingen, Unterbechingen took on the suffix "Unter-" for the first time in 1441 and therefore only very late. Until then it was only called "Bechingen". The place used to be the seat of its own lordship, the oldest owners of which are the lords of Bechingen who named themselves after the place name in 1293/94. Their ancestral castle was on the "Buschel" which is now in the Oberbechingen district.
The later rulings of the community are not clear. Apparently the rule was divided, but this cannot be proven in writing. One part, with "Burg, Widemhof, two other farms, three Hufen, 19 Sölden and one Gütlein", came to the Fetzer in 1364 from the Lords of Hirschstein and von Rammingen and then passed into civil ownership. It did not stay together, but was further divided. For example, the tithe, the Widemhof with Sölde and Zehntstadel and the church set of Gienger citizens were transferred to the Lauingen town clerk Heinrich von Richen before 1452 and from him in 1456 to the Lauingen Augustinian monastery, which held this important property until the secularization of 1803. The remaining possessions of this part then apparently passed through purchase to the then Duchy of Bavaria in the 15th century .
In possession of the other part, which included essential rights of the village rulership in addition to land ownership, such as the Ehaftrechte (blacksmith, Taferene, Eschaiamt, shepherd's staff), came in 1433 from the widow of a Herr von Riedheim , born von Rammingen , also to Gienger citizens ( three courtyards, 16 Sölden, one place ”), and from these probably around 1440 to the Lords of Rammingen, who also acquired the neighboring rule Dattenhausen (today part of the community of Ziertheim ) in this line in 1451 . Dattenhausen then became the seat of the dominion Dattenhausen-Unterbechingen, which came to the Duchy of Bavaria in 1500 ("four courtyards, 30 Sölden, Schenkstatt, Badstube, Hirtenstab, Mühle, Schmiedstatt"). Bavaria now had in Unterbechingen, in which it had exercised the high authority and thus the sovereignty from the late Middle Ages as a result of the acquisition of the count town of Dillingen (1261), also the lower authority exercised by the rule of Unterbechingen up to that point.
Together with the regional court of Höchstädt , in which the rule of Dattenhausen-Unterbechingen had been since the late Middle Ages, Unterbechingen came to the newly formed Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg in 1505 , which it remained with in the following period. In 1506, Unterbechingen and Dattenhausen were pledged to the Augsburg patricians (Lauginger and Rehlinger), but in 1515 it was redeemed and pledged to the Lords of Albersdorf in the same year. In 1518 Dattenhausen and Unterbechingen were redeemed again. Unterbechingen was now subject to the Palatinate-Neuburgian Vogtamt Dattenhausen (apart from a short time in a repeated pledge to the Knights of Bocksberg between 1553 and 1578/86) until the reorganization of the court situation in the Höchstädt regional court at the beginning of the 19th century.
On July 1, 1974, the previously independent community of Unterbechingen was incorporated into the neighboring community of Haunsheim.
Culture and sights
Unterbechingen is the seat of an old parish. The church seat with Widemhof and tithe was a Württemberg fiefdom and had belonged to the Augustinian hermit monastery in Lauingen since 1456 . The parish church of St. George was built in 1747 and last renovated in 1985 (folk altar and other changes in the course of the Second Vatican Council ) and 2007 (renewal of the ceiling paintings and the wall painting). Every year around St. George's Day, the Georgiritt is celebrated in Unterbechingen with a parade of carriages and riders that is well worth seeing.
Opposite the St. George's Church is the rectory, in which the local pastor used to live. Today it consists of a large parish hall with an attached kitchen, in which mainly church activities (e.g. parish afternoon, Advent afternoon etc.) take place. This hall also offers space for events and meetings of local associations such as the KLJB (Catholic rural youth movement), the yoga troop or the women's group.
Otherwise, the Unterbechingen vicarage also houses the group room of the above-mentioned KLJB Unterbechingen and an office room for the visiting pastor or the mayor, who holds an official hour here once a week.
