'''Niederstotzingen''' ({{IPA-de|niː.dɐˈʃtɔ.t͡sɪŋ.ən|lang|De-Niederstotzingen.ogg}}) is a small city in the [[Heidenheim (district)|district of Heidenheim]] in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. It is situated 17&nbsp;km southeast of [[Heidenheim an der Brenz|Heidenheim]], and 24&nbsp;km northeast of [[Ulm]]. The city consists of four sections or villages; Niederstotzingen, Oberstotzingen, Stetten ob Lontal and the combined section Lontal und Reuendorf. There are 4,850 inhabitants.<ref name="History">[{{cite web|url=http://www.niederstotzingen.de/servlet/PB/menu/1110121_l1/index.html |title=City of Niederstotzingen website|language=German|website=NiederStotzingen.de|access-date=9 (inMarch German)]2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050330160218/http://www.niederstotzingen.de/servlet/PB/menu/1110121_l1/index.html|archive-date=30 March 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Vogelherdhöhle===
[[File:Vogelherdhoehle.jpg|thumb|left|Entrance to the ''Vogelherdhöhle'' a prehistoric camp site]]
The region around Niederstotzingen has been inhabited since pre-historic times. Finds of [[mammoth]] [[ivory]] carvings in the area have been dated to [[Upper Paleolithic|35,000 BC]]. The main source of these carvings is the ''[[Vogelherdhöhle]]'', a cave near modern Niederstotzingen which may have been used as a rest area and shelter for nearly 30,000 years.<ref name="Vogelherd">[{{cite web|url=http://www.niederstotzingen.de/servlet/PB/menu/1173477/index.html |title=City of Niederstotzingen website-Vogelherdhöhle|language=German|website=NiederStotzingen.de|access-date=9 (inMarch German)]2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719065711/http://www.niederstotzingen.de/servlet/PB/menu/1173477/index.html|archive-date=19 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
The cave was discovered in 1931 by a senior railroad clerk and historian, Hermann Mohn, as he explored the hills above the city. An expedition in 1931, led by [[Gustav Riek]], discovered eleven carved animal figures that dated from around 32,000 years ago. A 2005/2006 2005–2006 expedition by the [[Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen|university of Tübingen]] discovered several additional statues including one, an ivory horse, which may be one of the oldest human artworks in the world.<ref name="Vogelherd"/> Then, inIn 2006 another sculpture was discovered. This one, a mammoth carved from mammoth ivory, was dated from 35,000 years ago, making it the oldest artwork in the world.<ref>[http{{cite news|url=https://www.welt.de/kultur/article966944/Der_Ursprung_der_Kunst_vor_35.000_JahrenDer-Ursprung-der-Kunst-vor-35-000-Jahren.html|title=Archäologie: Welt.deDer articleUrsprung withder picturesKunst (invor 35.000 Jahren|trans-title=|language=German)]|first=Berthold|last=Seewald|date=23 June 2007|access-date=9 March 2019|work=Die Welt|archive-date=19 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210619001404/https://www.welt.de/kultur/article966944/Der-Ursprung-der-Kunst-vor-35-000-Jahren.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
Additionally, nearby caves in the Lonetal (Lone valley) have also sources of ancient carvings (see [[Löwenmensch figurine|Lion man]]). The Lone valley may have even been home to two different types of humans. It appears likely that both the [[Neanderthal]] and the [[Cro-Magnon]] may have occupied the valley. Professor Riek, who discovered many of the early carvings, wrote a documentary novel entitled ''Die Mammutjäger im Lonetal'' (Mammoth hunters in the Lone Valley) which included violent conflicts between the ''Bärentöter'' (Bear Killers or Neanderthal) and the ''Mammutjäger'' (Mammoth Hunters or [[Archaic Homo sapienshumans|Homo Sapiens]]).<ref>[{{cite web|url=http://www.niederstotzingen.de/servlet/PB/menu/1173483/index.html |title=City of Niederstotzingen website-Archaeology|language=German|website=NiederStotzingen.de|access-date=9 (inMarch German)]2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719065842/http://www.niederstotzingen.de/servlet/PB/menu/1173483/index.html|archive-date=19 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
===Roman Era===
Before the [[Roman Empire|Romans]] entered [[Germania]], the [[Celt]]s occupied the Lone Valley. A Celtic ''[[Viereckschanze]]'' or "four-sided earthworks" has been discovered near modern Niederstotzingen.<ref name="History"/> From the Roman era, a [[Roman agriculture#The Roman Farm|villa rustica]] (or Roman Farm) has been discovered between Niederstotzingen and [[Sontheim]]. The villa was located along the old [[Roman road]] that lead from [[{{ill|Castra Urspring]]|lt=Urspring|de|Kastell Urspring}} to [[Regensburg]].
 
===Middle Ages===
During construction in the south part of town, in 1962, a small cemetery from the later half of the 7th century was discovered. The [[Alamannia]]n cemetery contained the remains of several nobles as well as their animals and valuables.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.science.org/content/article/1400-year-old-warrior-burial-ground-reveals-german-fighters-came-near-and-far|title=1400-year-old warrior burial ground reveals German fighters came from near and far|first1=Michael|last1=Price|date=5 September 2018|website=Science - AAAS|access-date=9 March 2019|archive-date=7 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207225825/https://www.science.org/content/article/1400-year-old-warrior-burial-ground-reveals-german-fighters-came-near-and-far|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
The name ''Stotzingin'' first appears in 1143, though the meaning of the name is still not clear. During the [[High Middle Ages]], a minor noble family named itself after the city. The family, which is still in existence, ruled Niederstotzingen until 1330. In 1366 [[Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Charles IV]] gave Niederstotzingen to Wilhelm von Riedheim with a directive to expand and fortify the city. The city was granted the status of a [[City privileges|city]] which it has held ever since (except for a short interruption in the 19th century).
