The first mention of a settlement at Hemmingen's location was in 991, in document ion naming such a place as a property of Weissenburg Abbey, in Alsace. By the 13th century, Bebenhausen Monastery also had estates nearby. Hemmingen became a fiefdom of the County of Württemberg in the 14th century and control over the area was shared from 1331 to 1444. When the Lords of Nippenburg [de] went extinct, the House of Württemberg fully inherited their holdings, which included Hemmingen.[2]
