History

Older history

• 1st millennium BC: Celtic settlement (grave finds 1947 in Singen)
• Roman settlement between 80 and 90 AD (numerous finds, including two pillars of denial from Nöttingen, two four-god stones immured in the churches of Nöttingen, inscription plate from the settlement Vicus Senotensis)
• After the Romans fled their flight around 260 AD, the Alamanni settled the land to the right of the Rhine, but a little over two centuries later, after a great battle in 496, they were forced by the Franconian tribe to give up the Kraichgau and the landscape up to vacate the Murg.
• The first written mentions of Remchingen districts date from the 8th century: On June 1, 769 in “Sigincheim im Pfinzgau” (first mention of Singen), four Franks gave Lorsch monastery a farmyard, 34 acres of arable land, a meadow and a piece of forest . Between 888 and 893, the abbot of this monastery exchanged further ownership of this monastery in "Vulvirincha", today's Wilferdingen, for the same area in Illingen, southeast of Maulbronn (Wilferdingen is mentioned for the first time).
• Around 825 a certain Noting, probably related to the Counts of Calw, gave the Reichenau monastery goods in Nöttingen, Dietenhausen and Singen, which at that time, like the entire northern Pfinztal, were in the Ufgau, according to a source from the 16th century.
• 1160: First mention of the Lords of Remchingen, a lower nobility family. They probably built a moated castle, Remchingen Castle, out of wood on the site of today's open-air swimming pool.
• 1278: Darmsbach is mentioned for the first time, a settlement that only developed in the High Middle Ages
• shortly after 1300: The Lords of Remchingen sold their moated castle. They later bought back shares in the castle for a while, but then finally sold them to the Margraves of Baden in 1568.
• Around 1460, the pilgrimage chapel of our dear Frau zur Eich was built near today's Sperlingshof, but was abandoned again between 1520 and 1540. In 1568 rights to the former chapel were transferred from the Herrenalb monastery to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach. From the former buildings (chapel and outbuildings) only artefacts in the “monastery” are evidence of today. [8]
• 16th century: Nöttingen, Singen and Wilferdingen took part in the Bundschuh rebellion (1502) and the Peasants' War (1525)
• April 14, 1604: Margrave Ernst Friedrich von Baden died of a blow in a Calvinist-Lutheran religious war against Pforzheim near Remchingen Castle. The trigger for the dispute was the Staffort book of 1599 and the earlier relocation of the Baden residence to Durlach.

19th and 20th centuries

• July 12, 1806: Foundation of the Grand Duchy of Baden
• 1861: Nöttingen successfully fought against the railway connection on the Karlsruhe – Mühlacker line, which then took place via Wilferdingen-Singen.
• March 21, 1919: Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Baden came into force
• June 25, 1939: Foundation of the Pforzheim district
• 1945: part of the American zone of occupation
• September 19, 1945: Foundation of the state of Württemberg-Baden
• April 25, 1952: Foundation of the state of Baden-Württemberg
• January 1, 1973 Foundation of the Enzkreis in accordance with the district reform in Baden-Württemberg

Reforms

On January 1, 1975, the community of Nöttingen was incorporated into Remchingen.
