Unlingen (German pronunciation: [ˈʊnlɪŋən]) is a municipality in the district of Biberach in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

Geography

Unlingen lies in southwestern Germany, between the Upper Swabian mountain known as the Bussen and the river Danube.

Unlingen contains the districts of Dietelhofen, Göffingen, Möhringen and Uigendorf.

Political history

The first recorded mention of Unlingen occurred in 1163. In 1291 Unlingen fell to the House of Habsburg, and eventually became a part of Further Austria. At the end of the 14th century, the Steward of Waldburg held large portions of the town. In 1525, 2,000 farmers gathered in Unlingen as it became one of the starting points of the German Peasants' War. During the Thirty Years' War, Unlingen was destroyed by both Imperial and Swedish troops. In 1635, plague killed a large part of the population.

In 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars, Unlingen became a part of the Kingdom of Württemberg and was assigned to the jurisdiction of Riedlingen. With the district reform of 1938, the town became part of the county of Saulgau, then in 1973 was added to the district of Biberach.

Religious history

By 1269 a church stood in Unlingen. In 1414 the Franciscan monastery Maria Heimsuchung was founded.

Notable residents

German striker Mario Gomez grew up in Unlingen.
