Dauchingen (Low Alemannic:Dauchinge) is a municipality in the district ofSchwarzwald-Baar inBaden-Württemberg,Germany.
Some of the earliest evidence of human habitation of the area of Dauchingen areRoman and suggest avilla rustica from between the years 88 to 138 AD. The first settlements in the area however areAlemanni and dates to 270 AD.[2] The first documentation of a settlement at Dauchingen comes from 1092 and refers to it "Tuchingen", a property ofSt. George's Abbey in the Black Forest. Ownership of Dauchingen passed to theDuchy of Zähringen, whose ruling house went extinct in 1218, and then to theCounty of Urach [de], and then toCounty of Fürstenberg. In 1405, the Fürstenbergs renounced their claim to Dauchingen in favor of theCounty of Zollern. The town was sold in 1479 by Gregor von Roggwil ofConstance to theFree Imperial City ofRottweil.[3]
In 1803, Rottweil wasmediatized to theElectorate of Württemberg, and Dauchingen thus became a possession of Württemberg. The town was assigned in 1806 or 1808 toOberamt Rottweil [de].[3] In October 1810, the nowKingdom of Württemberg ceded Dauchingen to theGrand Duchy of Baden per theBaden-Württemberg Border Treaty of 1810 [de]. Dauchingen was assigned to the district of Villingen. As part of the1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform [de], that district was dissolved and replaced with the newSchwarzwald-Baar district, to which Dauchingen was assigned. The town of Dauchingen began a steadyspread to the south in the latter half of the 1970s.[4]
