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.

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