The first mention of Löchgau can be found in a falsified
deed . In it is claimed that in 1147 the bishop of Speyer presented the Peterskirche (church of St. OPeter) toMaulbronn Abbey , after having purchased it from a local nobleman named Beringer. In the year 1244 Maulbronn Abbey transferred the church to the Domstift ofSpeyer .1484 the part of Löchgau owned by the Palatinate is exchanged with
Württemberg against its part ofIngersheim .Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg exchanges in 1506 another part of Löchgau with Konrad Schenk von Winterstetten againstFreudental . 1529margrave Philipp I. of Baden rebuys his properties in and aroundBesigheim , thus owning half of Löchgau. Until 1595 this way Löchgau is owned by equal parts byBaden and Württemberg.In 1595
Frederick I, Duke of Württemberg buys the other half of Löchgau. Now Löchgau is entirely owned by Württemberg.
