For the first time the municipality was called in the early 14th century Frickenhusen. The main source of income was the growing of wine. However, epidemics, war and bad harvests made the income volatile, so many people worked from mid-18th century on linen weaving, spinning and flax.
Today's Protestant church was built in 1500 as a late Gothic village church.
Religion
Since the Reformation Frickenhausen is predominantly Protestant. Today there is a Protestant church in each of the three municipal parts. In the center there is also a Roman Catholic church and since several years a New Apostolic congregation.
