Spaichingen

Spaichingen (Swabian: Spoachenga) is a town in the district of Tuttlingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Spaichingen is a small town located in the south of Germany at the Swabian Jura, which is a mountain range in Baden-Württemberg.

Many communities border on the area of Spaichingen: Hausen ob Verena, Gunningen, Trossingen, Aldingen, Denkingen, Böttingen, Balgheim and Rietheim-Weilheim.

Moreover Spaichingen was located on a strategically important road, therefore it suffered heavy losses and damage during many troop transits.

However, even looting and pillaging could not prevent Spaichingen from developing into a respectable economic center in the 1530s.

Surviving multiple air strikes, Spaichingen became a part of the French influence territory after the Second World War.

On February 16, 1969, the largest building project in the history of the Tuttlingen district to date was completed and the "new Spaichingen hospital" opened.

Together with the municipalities of Aldingen, Spaichingen forms an agreed administrative community with Aixheim, Balgheim, Böttingen, Denkingen, Dürbheim, Frittlingen, Hausen o. V. and Mahlstetten.

The pupils demand more public green spaces and trees in the city of Spaichingen.

The culinary diversity is very broad since there are restaurants with German, Italian, Turkish and also Asian cuisine.

The most extensive event in the year is the carnival in Spaichingen which is named Fasnet in the Swabian dialect.

There are plenty more traditions in this season, for example there is a special song and almost everybody will dress up on the "Schmotziger Donnerstag".

Most people dress up with special costumes which have wooden masks and take part in a carnival procession.

Other important events are the age-group parties, the different markets, the football tournament for the youth which is organized by the sport club of Spaichingen (SVS), the children programme in the summer holidays and the feast following the home-slaughtering of a farm animal.

This is a projekt which connects and gives the opportunity to present high quality work of art in the districts of Tuttlingen and Rottweil.
