Heroldstatt is a village in the district of Alb-Donau in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

Geography[]

Heroldstatt is located on the Swabian Jura about 25 kilometers west of Ulm.

Neighboring communities[]

The municipality borders in the north and east to the town of Laichingen, in the southeast to the town of Blaubeuren , in the south to the town of Schelklingen (all Alb-Donau-district) and in the west to Gutsbezirk Münsingen (district Reutlingen).

Municipality arrangement[]

The municipality consists of the two districts Ennabeuren and Sontheim and the allotment Breithülen.

History[]

Ennabeuren[]

A documentary mention was made in 1092 to a nobleman Egilolf Oninburrin. In 1806, the village had around 300 Protestant and 200 Catholic residents. Ennabeuren lost in 1895 and 1938 a total of 940 hectares - about half of the municipal area - to the military training area Münsingen.

Sontheim[]

During the Reformation the village received in 1537 its own parish. By 1800 it had about 420 inhabitants.

The two previously independent municipalities joined as part of the municipal reform on October 1, 1973 together. About halfway between the village centers a new community center with the mountain hall (multi-purpose hall, 1984, extended in 2000) and the town hall (1987) was erected.

Breithülen[]

The 77.5 hectare and 64 inhabitants allotment Breithülen was incorporated to Heroldstatt on January 1, 2011.
