History

Hüttisheim is first mentioned in a document dated 1152 as "Hittinishaim" confirming the rights of Rot an der Rot Abbey of some property in the village. Through donations both Rot an der Rot Abbey and Wiblingen Abbey were in possession of the village. From about 1450 the entire village was, however, owned by Wiblingen Abbey until the monastery's dissolution in 1806. During the German Peasants' War the village was burnt down in 1525.
High justice remained with the Count of Kirchberg, the founders of Wiblingen Abbey. The crosier in the coat-of-arms of Hüttisheim represents the almost four hundred years of being ruled by the abbey.
