History The name Hundersingen is derived from the term 'huntare', which was used to describe a small administrative area under a Frankish king. Located near Hundersingen, the prehistoric hillfort Heuneburg was a prestigious princely residence and a thriving centre of power in the Golden Age of the Celts from 600 to 400 B.C. In 1511 A.D., Count Andreas von Sonnenberg was slain by Felix von Werdenberg († 1530) near Hundersingen in retaliation for defamation. Today, there is a memorial at the site of the murder. The village was incorporated into Herbertingen in 1975. Coat of arms The formerly independent municipality Hundersingen led its own coat of arms.

From its starting point, the Heuneburgmuseum in the village of Hundersingen, it traces the path of the most important archaeological sites of the early Celtic settlement centre on the upper course of the Danube and returns after approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to the trail head. Starting at the museum, the hiking trail leads to the Lehenbühl, a burial mound from the first half of the sixth century. On this stretch sit the remains of the medieval castle Baumburg (Buwenburg), which might have originated from an Iron Age burial mound. From there the path leads to the open-air museum Heuneburg, a Celtic princely residence located about three kilometres north-east of Hundersingen. The educational trail continues north towards a group of four big burial mounds at Gießübel/Talhau and towards the forest. Passing the Soppenweiher and the Wiedhauhütte, a small reservoir and a shack,
