Maichingen

A Roman manor in the area of this same Stone Age settlement, which dates from the second century AD, is around 4,000 years younger.

A row grave field dated to the 6th century in the area of the old church testifies to Alemannic settlement activity.

In a document, king Heinrich IV confirmed that Hirsau Monastery also owned the property in Maichingen, which was then called Mouchingen.

Along with the procurement of the farm, the Abbey also obtained the Kastvogtei and the patronage law, i.e. the right to represent and protect the church in Maichingen as well as to appoint the pastor.

In 1850 Maichingen had 1,129 Protestant and one Catholic residents who lived and worked in 147 main and 127 auxiliary buildings.
