Baltringen

Baltringen is a once autonomous village in Baden-Württemberg in the region of Upper Swabia, situated approximately 17 km north of Biberach.

The area in which the village of Baltringen is now situated, was settled by Alemans in the 3rd century CE, being part of the Agri Decumates.

This road would have crossed the river Dürnach on the southern entrance of the village by using the existing sandstone bridge.

There is evidence of high court activity in Baltringen; on old maps a place called Galgenberg (gallow's hill) can be found on the road towards Äpfingen.

During the 14th century, the Herren von Freyberg of Achstetten were the rulers of Baltringen, also owing the right to inflict low justice.
