history

The place name comes from the word "Weng", which means forest-free grassland. Wengen belonged to the Counts of Hirschberg in the Middle Ages and was first mentioned in a document in 1239. Since 1336 the village belonged to the parish Bechthal and was therefore subject to the Heilig-Geist-Spital in Nuremberg . The Reformation was already carried out in Wengen in 1528 , but in the course of the Counter-Reformation , Catholic teaching was reintroduced in 1628. In the State Treaty of 1649 Wengen was added to the nuremberg evangelical parish. The Wengen parish has belonged to the Protestant parish in Nennslingen since 1810. At the beginning of the 19th century Wengen was described as a village with 35 houses and 154 residents. In 1816 a serious fire disaster occurred in the village. 27 buildings and the church burned down. Until the municipality reform in Bavaria in the 1970s, Wengen was an independent municipality in the Hilpoltstein district, which was also dissolved .
