Hundersingen

Hundersingen has a nursery school and a primary school. The village of Hundersingen is situated on the steep molasse hillside towards the left bank of the Danube and on its adjacent plateau. On the plateau's edge the Roman Catholic parish church of St Martin can be seen from afar. At the bottom of the valley the development area reaches as far as the river banks. The total area of the district Hundersingen amounts to 9.68 km. The name Hundersingen is derived from the term 'huntare', which was used to describe a small administrative area under a Frankish king. Located near Hundersingen, the prehistoric hillfort Heuneburg was a prestigious princely residence and a thriving centre of power in the Golden Age of the Celts from 600 to 400 B.C. In 1511 A.D., Count Andreas von Sonnenberg was slain by Felix von Werdenberg († 1530) near Hundersingen in retaliation for defamation.
