BALDINGEN

     Baldingen is in the Zurzach District of the Aargau Canton in Switzerland.

    Baldingen is first mentioned in 1317 as Baldingen, although the area had already been settled by the Alamanni for centuries. During the Middle Ages it was the seat of a minor noble family and the Knights of Baldingen until the order was dissolved.

     Until 1415 it was under the high court of the Habsburgs. After the conquest of the Aargau, it was part of the County of Baden. The court and justice rights were held by a large number of private owners.

     It was part of the parish of Zurzach until 1883 when it joined with Böbikon to form their own parish.
