Immendingen was built at the crossroads of ancient trade routes. As the name suggests, it was a settlement of the alemannic period. The name goes back to an Alemannic patriarch, who settled with his family in the valley of the Danube. The first documentary evidence dates back to 1101. In the Carolingian period, the village belonged to the Aitrach to Hegau and was assigned to the Baar in the 12th century. Originally owned by the Counts of
Zollern the area eventually became part of the Zähringers. In 1250 it was taken over by the Count of
Fürstenberg. Many centuries are dominated by local lords living in the community. Significant gender of the local lords were the lords of
Schreckenstein (on the „Upper Castle“) and the lords of
Reischach (on the „Lower Castle“). In the course of municipal reform in
Baden-Württemberg, the hitherto separate municipality Zimmern was incorporated on 1 January 1971. On 1 December 1971, the incorporation of Mauenheim was.
