Eberdingen
municipality in Germany
Eberdingen is a municipality in the district of Ludwigsburg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
History
In the 6th century BC, a Celtic chieftain was buried in a mound near Hochdorf. See: Hochdorf Chieftain's Grave.
All three main villages of the municipality were founded in the Middle Ages around agricultural areas, owned by convents.
Nussdorf suffered heavy war damage in April, 1945, during fierce fights between French and German troops at the end of the World War II.
The municipality of Eberdingen was created in 1975 by the merging of the municipalities of Eberdingen, Hochdorf an der Enz, and Nussdorf.

Why this record matters
The phrase “municipality in Germany” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q61736. VIAF identifies the subject as 127917966. The Library of Congress control number is n85318235. Authority coordinates are 48.879, 8.965. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1945 and 1975.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
