A document indicates a connection: the brothers Albert, Friederich and Heinrich von Wurmlingen, called the Hohin, Lords of Wurmlingen (Tuttlingen) ( Wurmlingen Castle ) and ministers of the Counts of Zollern , sell their vineyards in Pfaffenberg on December 7, 1252 ( Kapellenberg) to the Kirchberg convent with the consent of their master, Count Friedrich von Zollern .

According to a legend, the name Wurmlingen comes from the fact that a dragon (lindworm) is said to have lived on the nearby Kapellenberg . Nowadays the facade of the village parish church of St. Briccius reminds of this, showing the Archangel Michael slaying a dragon.
