Dormettingen is a town in the Zollernalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
In 1805, Dormettingen, previously a possession of the County of Hohenberg and of Austria, became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg. It was assigned in 1810 to Oberamt Spaichingen [de] but in 1842 was reassigned to Oberamt Rottweil [de]. When this district was dissolved in 1938, Dormettingen was assigned to Landkreis Balingen [de]. Dormettingen doubled in size after World War II thanks to growth periods from the 1960s to the 1990s. As part of the 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform [de], Landkreis Balingen was dissolved, and Dormettingen was assigned to the newly created district of Zollernalb.[3]
The municipality (Gemeinde) of Dormettingen covers 6.55 square kilometers (2.53 sq mi) of the Zollernalb districtofBaden-Württemberg, one of the Federal Republic of Germany's 16 States. It is physically located on the Little Heuberg [de], a plateau above the Schlichem where oil shale can be found in the upper Liassic layers. The village of Dormettingen itself is found in a shallow trough, where it originated as a Haufendorf. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area varies from a low of 580 meters (1,900 ft) Normalnull (NN) to a high of 1,001 meters (3,284 ft) NN.[3]
The Federally-protected Riedbach valley [de] nature reserve is located inside Dormettingen's municipal area.[3]
Dormettingen's coat of arms shows two white rake upon a fieldofred. The pattern is derived from a 19th-century seal from the Schultheiß's office that also had a plowshare below the rakes. These items symbolize Dormettingen's agricultural history while its red-white tincture reference bot the County of Hohenberg and Austria. That tincture, and the exclusion of the plowshare, were decided when the Federal Ministry of the Interior first awarded a coat of arms to Dormettingen on 16 May 1950. A corresponding flag was issued by the Zollernalb district office on 23 August 1982.[3]
Dormettingen is connected to Germany's network of railways by the Balingen–Rottweil line [de], which has a station in Dormettingen itself. Local public transportation is provided by the Verkehrsverbund Neckar-Alb-Donau [de].[3]
