history

The first written mention was made in a document from 1102, with which Duke Friedrich I of Swabia handed over the Lorch Monastery, which he had founded, to the Holy See. A nobleman named Wito von Groningen is named as the bearer of the certificate.

Untergröningen Castle was owned by Johann von Rechberg in 1351 and remained in the possession of the Counts of Rechberg until Wilhelm von Rechberg sold it to Schenk Friedrich von Limpurg in 1410.

In 1564 Schenk Christoph III. demolish the castle's gatehouse and build the southern wing of today's castle. The east and north wings of the palace were built between 1606 and 1609. The castle church was established as a Protestant parish church in 1609. The pastor of Obergröningen held the services alternately in Obergröningen and Untergröningen. The castle served as the official residence for a bailiff and as a hunting lodge. The east wing above the castle church was the manor house.

In 1635 103 people died of the plague in Gröningen, the following year another 50. In 1767 Untergröningen had 313 inhabitants.

Prince Ludwig Carl Franz Leopold zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein founded a Catholic elementary school in 1779 and - through the settlement of Catholic subjects - the colony. After the death of Ludwig Karl Philipp, the rule passed to his son Ludwig Aloys in 1799 . In 1804 he exchanged the rule of Gröningen for the Bohemian possessions of the Austrian Prince and Imperial Vice Chancellor Franz Gundaccar von Colloredo-Mansfeld . 1806, the rule was Untergröningen mediated , and thus part of of I. Napoleon newly created Kingdom of Württemberg . Untergröningen was assigned to the Oberamt Gaildorf . On January 12, 1827, Rudolph von Colloredo-Mannsfeld sold the Gröningen castle and estate to the State of Württemberg.

The Untergröninger built the town hall with an evangelical school in 1828 and a stone Kocher bridge in 1838. Before that there was a covered wooden bridge. In the colony in particular, there were poor people who were dependent on public welfare. They made money in cotton mills and box-making, other than wandering tradesmen and beggars. Because of the former royal residence, there were many craftsmen in the village: beer brewers, tanners, soap makers, watchmakers, rope makers, hat makers, confectioners, turners and a small match factory. In 1855 the impoverished village came under state supervision.

Untergröningen has had its own Protestant parish since 1858 . In 1862 a secondary school was founded. It was initially in the castle and was moved to the town hall in 1869. In 1892 the Catholic parish bought three saints from the Heerberg Church from the Protestant parish in Laufen : Maria, Barbara and Katharina. This brought the pilgrimage to the Mother of God from Heerberg in what is now the Sulzbach-Laufen suburb of Laufen in Untergröningen.

On August 1, 1903, the 18.5 km long Oberer Kochertalbahn , a branch line from Untergröningen to Gaildorf , was inaugurated , where there was a connection to the Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental railway .

In 1908 the Untergröninger built a new schoolhouse in Wasenstrasse and in 1930 a Protestant parish hall next to the church. The two denominational schools were dissolved in 1936 and replaced by the German elementary school. In 1938 Untergröningen was assigned to the district of Gmünd . In April 1945 the death march of concentration camp prisoners led from the Kochendorf concentration camp to the Dachau concentration camp through Untergröningen. German soldiers blew up the two road bridges over the Kocher and the American army entered without a fight.

In 1963 a new, larger, schoolhouse was built. New building land was developed. Industry also found its way. The alobe knitwear factory, a metal finishing factory, a sheet metal factory, a numbering factory, a box factory, two civil engineering companies, a construction business, a transport company, a brewery, and a fruit and vegetable wholesaler were located in the community.

On September 1, 1971, until then independent municipality Untergröningen with the consent of the inhabitants of the hamlet of Abtsgmuend in was district Aalen , by the district reform in 1973 in Ostalbkreis opened.
