Illingen

Illingen is a municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. With a population of about 10,000, it is 27 kilometers to the west of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg.

The towns of Illingen and Schützingen were, in the Middle Ages, owned by the nearby Maulbronn Monastery. In 1504, the monastery was taken over by the Duchy of Württemberg, beginning a centuries-long association with Württemberg. On 18 March 1806, the now Kingdom of Württemberg assigned Illingen and Schützingen to Oberamt Mualbronn. This became the district of Maulbronn in 1934, to which the two towns were also assigned. When that district was dissolved in 1938, they were assigned to Vaihingen's district. With the 1973 district reform in the State of Baden-Württemberg, they were assigned to the district of Enz. In 1974, Illingen and Schützingen were joined into a single municipality.
