History
Spaichingen’s history is long and interesting. First of all there was settlement as early as 2000 BC, where now is Spaichingen.
In the year 791 Spaichingen received a deed of gift from the monastery of St. Gallen. According to a document from 1381, Spaichingen was a part of Austria for over 400 years and belonged to the Upper Austrian Office Rottenburg and the Upper Bailiwick of Oberhohenberg, based in Fridingen. Furthermore, Spaichingen got an emblem in 1482.
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.
During the Thirty Years War the town lost more than half of its inhabitants.
In 1623 Spaichingen was granted the right to hold a weekly market. Finally becoming a town in 1828, it joined the district of Tuttlingen in 1938.
From September 1944 to April 1945, there was concentration camp located in Spaichingen. It was established by the armament company Mauser from Oberndorf. At least 95 prisoners died in the camp. Because of this concentration camp, a memorial was built next to the cemetery. Surviving multiple air strikes, Spaichingen became a part of the French influence territory after the Second World War.
