Nearby municipalitiesHistoryPrehistoryArchaeological findings from the Neolithic period have been discovered in the territory of Notzingen, including a longsword and a burial ground of the Alamanni. Middle AgesNotzingen was first mentioned in written records in 1077/1078. King Henry IV confiscated Notzingen from Count Luitold von Achalm due to his support for Rudolf of Rheinfelden. (It is not certain whether this refers to present-day Notzingen; it could also pertain to Orsingen-Nenzingen, near which there was a vanished settlement named Bächlingen.) Sovereignty over Notzingen passed to the Zähringen family and later to the Dukes of Teck. Around 1270, the Alwer family from Kirchheim acquired estates in Notzingen and began calling themselves after their ancestral castle of Tumnau ("Dummenowe") from 1274 onwards. In the 14th century, Notzingen came under the jurisdiction of Württemberg along with the town of Kirchheim unter Teck, to which it has belonged since then. In 1360, a chapel was first mentioned in the area. Modern EraDuke Ulrich of Württemberg implemented the Reformation in Notzingen in 1534. The chapel was expanded into a church around 1620. In 1821, the church parish became independent. Even after the introduction of the new administrative division in the Kingdom of Württemberg, founded in 1806, Notzingen remained under the jurisdiction of the Oberamt Kirchheim, to which it had already been subject during the time of Old Württemberg. During the Nazi era in Württemberg, the district of Wellingen was incorporated into Notzingen in 1934, and in 1938, the municipality of Notzingen was assigned to the new district of Nürtingen. From 1945 to 1952, the municipality was part of the post-war state of Württemberg-Baden, which was established in 1945 in the American Occupation Zone, and from 1952 onwards, it belonged to the new state of Baden-Württemberg. In 1972, during a citizens' hearing, 70.5% voted against the incorporation into Kirchheim unter Teck. As a result, the municipality remained independent. Since the administrative reform of 1973, Notzingen has been part of the Esslingen district. Population Development1834: 1,035 inhabitants[3]
