Dillingen is a district in Bavaria, Germany. It is
bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Donau-Ries,
Augsburg and Günzburg, and by the state of Baden-Württemberg (district of Heidenheim).In ancient times the Danube river was
a border between the Roman empire and the Germanic
tribes north of the river. The Roman camp of Phoebiana (now Faimingen)
was a bridgehead crossing the danube. There was an Apollo temple
being one of the largest buildings north of the Alps in that time. In medieval times the county
of Dillingen was established. The counts of Dillingen ruled from the 10th to
the 13th century, then (1258) the territory was turned over to the Prince Bishops of Augsburg, who
gained several villages for their clerical state, hence subdividing the
region into several patches, which were dissolved in the early 19th century.
In 1804 Dillingen and its area became part of the state |
of Bavaria. The district was established in 1972 by merging the former district of Dillingen (which had existed since 1804) with the
western half of the former district of Wertingen. The city of Dillingen lost
its status as a district-free city and became the capital of the newly
established district. Dillingen, or Dillingen an der Donau (Dillingen on the Danube) is a town of roughly 18000 inhabitants in Bavaria, Germany. It is the administrative center of the district of Dillingen. The counts of Dillingen ruled from the 10th to the 13th century, in 1258 the territory was turned over to the Prince Bishops of Augsburg. After the Reformation, the Bishops of Augsburg moved to the Catholic city of Dillingen and made it one of the centers of the Counter-Reformation. A university was established in 1688/1689, whose philosophical and theological faculties still existed in the 20th century. Source: Wikipedia |

Willkommen bei der
Stadt Höchstädt - [ Translate this page ] |
|||||||||||||||||
BACKGROUND / HISTORY: |
Höchstädt an der Donau is a city in the Dillingen District of Bavaria,
Germany, with a population of about
6,800. It is situated on the left
bank of the Danube,
34 miles northeast of Ulm. It has several Roman Catholic churches, a castle flanked
by walls and towers and some small industries, including malting and brewing.
Hochstadt, which came into the possession of Bavaria in 1266. In the fifteenth and sixteenth century,
the wealthy mercantile family Höchstetter,
which came from the town, was part of the mercantile patriciate of Augsburg. In
the early 18th century, the town was twice the site of important military
battles. Here Frederick
of Hohenstaufen,
vicegerent of the Empire for Henry IV.,
was defeated by Henry's rival, Hermann of Luxemburg. The first Battle of Höchstädt on 20 September 1703 cost
over 5,000 lives. A year later in 1704, the Battle of Blenheim (or Second Battle of
Höchstädt) between the Austrian and British
forces (led by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy) on the one side,
and Bavarian
and French
troops (commanded by Maximilian II Emanuel,
Elector of Bavaria, and the Comte
de Tallard) on the other side.
The carnage of that battle was so horrific (over 20,000 men had died
at the end of the day) that farmers are said to still dig up skulls from the
fields today, as described in the poem After Blenheim, written by Robert
Southey, which tells about children finding the skull of one of the "...
many thousand men, said he, Were slain in that great victory" [1] |
