Deizisau did belong to the domain of the free imperial city Esslingen since the Middle Ages . Because of the rearrangement of Germany by Napoleon as a consequence of the German mediatization it became württembergian . In the 19 . century Deizisau was on the one hand spared from war destruction but instead , it suffered from severe famine . Only for a short time after the end of the Coalition Wars a worldwide climate disaster happened following the eruption of a volcano in Indonesia in 1816 , the so-called Year Without a Summer . In Deizisau it rained for 75 days in a row , hail destroyed the fields and the little harvest left could partly only be brought in after Christmas . The consequence was one of the most severe famines in the history of Deizisau . More bad harvests followed in the years from 1852 to 1855 . In total 135 citizens left the town in those four hunger years to emigrate to the United States . On a rise in the Rotfeld between Deizisau and Köngen the famines are still reminded of through the hunger lime planted in the year 1833
