The town is 35 km (22 mi) southeast from [Stuttgart](/source/Stuttgart) and 50 km (31 mi) from [Ulm](/source/Ulm). ### Nearby municipalities - [Wernau (Neckar)](/source/Wernau_(Neckar)) - [Hochdorf (Plochingen)](/source/Hochdorf_(Plochingen)) - [Rosswälden](/source/Ebersbach_an_der_Fils) - [Schlierbach](/source/Schlierbach_(G%C3%B6ppingen)) - [Kirchheim unter Teck](/source/Kirchheim_unter_Teck) ## History ### Prehistory Archaeological findings from the [Neolithic period](/source/Neolithic_period) have been discovered in the territory of Notzingen, including a longsword and a burial ground of the Alamanni. ### Middle Ages Notzingen was first mentioned in written records in 1077/1078. King [Henry IV](/source/Henry_IV,_Holy_Roman_Emperor) confiscated Notzingen from Count [Luitold von Achalm](/source/Luitold_von_Achalm) due to his support for [Rudolf of Rheinfelden](/source/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 Era Duke [Ulrich of Württemberg](/source/Ulrich_of_W%C3%BCrttemberg) 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](/source/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](/source/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 Development 1834: 1,035 inhabitants[2] 1861: 1,121 inhabitants 1900: 1,048 inhabitants 1939: 1,130 inhabitants 1946: 1,623 inhabitants 1950: 1,637 inhabitants 1961: 1,892 inhabitants 1970: 2,215 inhabitants 1990: 3,277 inhabitants[3] 1995: 3,512 inhabitants 2000: 3,525 inhabitants 2005: 3,494 inhabitants 2010: 3,552 inhabitants 2015: 3,631 inhabitants 2020: 3,623 inhabitants 2022: 3,631 inhabitants ## Politics ### Mayor - 1952 - 1987 Helmut Maier (independent) - 1987 – 2011 Jochen Flogaus (independent) - from 2011 Sven Haumacher (CDU) ### Municipal council The results of the local government elections in May 2014: CDU 46,42 % 6 seats Unabhängige Kommunale Wählervereinigung 33,14 % 5 seats SPD 20,44 % 3 seats ## Religions - Protestant: 1941 - Roman Catholic: 815 ## Demographics **Population development:**[4] Year Inhabitants 1990 3,277 2001 3,523 2011 3,609 2021 3,610 ## Economy and infrastructure ### Companies - Eloxal Barz GmbH und Co.
