history

From the Middle Ages to mediatization there were numerous changes in affiliation. The Count Palatine of Tübingen sold Wankeim in 1296 to Albrecht Bächt, whose descendants left it to the Bebenhausen Monastery . In 1482 the Lords of Ehingen zu Kilchberg acquired the village. The lords of Closen owned the place in the 17th century . This was followed by the Lords of Stockheim, the Lords of Leutrum von Ertingen and, from 1765, the Barons of Saint-André .

The originally Catholic parish with the church of St. Mary and Jacob built at the end of the 15th century belonged to the diocese of Constance . The Reformation was introduced in 1534 at the same time as in the neighboring Württemberg towns, as Wankheim was a branch of the parish in Mähringen . It was not until 1784 that an independent Protestant parish was set up in Wankheim. In 1805 the imperial knighthood village fell to Württemberg in the course of mediatization and was subordinated to the upper office of Tübingen .

In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a Jewish community in Wankheim , which was not possible in the surrounding villages because there, as in the entire Duchy of Württemberg, there was a ban on settling Jews. This settlement ban was only removed after the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806. The synagogue built in Wankheim in 1833 was responsible for the rest of the surrounding area as far as Tübingen for the local Jewish population. Between 1860 and 1890, however, the Jews from Wankheim emigrated to the larger Württemberg cities, so that the synagogue was demolished after 1890.

During the administrative reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Wankeim came to the enlarged district of Tübingen in 1938 . After the Second World War, the community fell into the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which in 1952 became the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

The previously independent community of Wankheim was incorporated into the community of Kusterdingen on January 1, 1975 as part of the community reform.
