context_section_description: The earliest findings in Entringen are Alamanni graves from the 5th century.  The grave of a well-equipped warrior was found in the 1930s in the area of today's Bahnhofstraße/Zeppelinstraße, and points to an Alemannic settlement dating to the 5th century.  In 1999, a horse grave was found near the warrior's grave site, and is thought to be the horse belonging to the warrior.  Entringen developed over the centuries by the Alemannic settlement to a predominantly agricultural, Württemberg village.  The name Antringen first appeared in 1075 in conjunction with the Lord Adalbertus de Antringen on the charter of the Hirsau abbey.  In the year 1284, Hohenentringen is mentioned for the first time.  In 1296, the Bebenhausen Abbey acquires the Entringer Fronhof.  Construction of the present St. Michael's Church began in 1452.
  The village of Entringen had about 1,100 people in 1600. Due to the plague and the Thirty Years War, the population declined to about 470. In 1806, the road from Tübingen to Herrenberg, that ran through Altingen and Reusten, was moved to Entringen.  Shortly thereafter, in 1808, Entringen became a part of Oberamt Herrenberg instead of Oberamt Tübingen.  In 1827, the cemetery was moved from its previous location at St. Michael's church to the edge of the village.  In the years 1843-44, a new town hall was built.  In 1855, the municipality acquired six looms in order to provide a practical education, as well as livelihood, for children from poor families.  The local Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1862.  In 1877 the Lords of Ow acquired the Hohenentringen Castle.
  In the years 1909-1910, Entringen was connected to the newly constructed Ammertalbahn, linking Entringen by rail with Tübingen, Herrenberg, and Stuttgart.  Gypmus mining began between Entringen and Breitenholz in 1910.  The public swimming pool was constructed in 1936.  Two years later, Entringen was transferred from Oberamt Herrenberg back to the district of Tübingen.  Entringen was part of the Baden-Württemberg district reform in 1971.  Six previously independent villages were united as the municipality of Ammerbuch on December 1, 1971.  Today Entringen has about 3,700 inhabitants and is a place with good infrastructure and high recreational value.  The coat of arms of the formerly independent municipality Entringen contains a horizontal black deer rack with a floating duck reflecting on water; it was accepted by the community in 1929.  Entringen's official colors are white and red.
