🇩🇪 Nusplingen is a municipality of the Zollernalb district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
History In 1803, Nusplingen became a possession of the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, who traded the town in 1813 to the Kingdom of Württemberg for Beuron Abbey. Nusplingen was assigned to Oberamt Spaichingen and remained in that district until its dissolution in 1938. Following that dissolution, Nusplingen was reassigned to the Landkreis Balingen. This district was itself dissolved in 1973, when Baden-Württemberg reorganized its administrative structure, and Nusplingen was assigned to the newly-created Zollernalb district. After World War II, the town grew and industrialised beginning in the 1950s with development at its northern extremity.
