About

Hundersingen is an archaeological site of significant historical importance due to its proximity to the prehistoric hillfort Heuneburg, a notable Celtic princely residence during the Early and Middle Iron Age. This site, situated near the Danube River, provides insights into the social and strategic importance of the region from approximately 600 BCE to 400 BCE. The site encompasses a series of burial mounds, such as the Hohmichele, and features a Celtic Viereckschanze, an enclosure typical of the era. The Heuneburg-Rundwanderweg trail guides visitors through these features, illustrating the area's rich Celtic heritage. The village was later involved in historical events of the Post-Classical Period, including the slaying of Count Andreas von Sonnenberg in 1511 CE. Hundersingen was formally incorporated into Herbertingen in 1975 CE, reflecting its evolving administrative history.
