Jungingen

Jungingen (German pronunciation: [ˈjʊŋɪŋən]) is a municipality in the Zollernalbkreis, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located nearby the castle Burg Hohenzollern, about 5 km east of Hechingen.

In former times, the city was located in Hohenzollern-Hechingen, a principality of the House of Hohenzollern, and a fiefdom of Swabian counts.

Jungingen is located in the valley of the Starzel, a tributary of the Neckar.

The following towns and municipalities border on Jungingen, clockwise from the north (all part of the Zollernalbkreis):

Hechingen, Burladingen and Albstadt.

Jungingen was probably founded in the 4th century by Alemanni, named after a leader called "Jungo".

The village was first documented in 1075.

The local castle was located on a hill called "Bürgle". In 1278 it was transferred to the Order of St. John, and around 1300 to the Duke of Württemberg. In 1311, it was destroyed in the Towns war, by Reutlingen, which also burned down the village.
