Schömberg (Schömberg)
Schömberg is a town in the Zollernalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Until 1805, the towns of Schömberg and Schörzingen were possessions of the County of Hohenberg. As part of the process of German mediatization, the two towns were awarded to the Kingdom of Württemberg, whose government assigned them in 1810 to Oberamt Rottweil. The towns were reassigned to Landkreis Balingen in 1938. In the 1950s and 1960s, Schömberg enjoyed a period of growth to the south, east, and west. The 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform merged the district of Balingen into the newly created Zollernalb district in January. The next month, on 1 February, Schömberg and Schörzingen merged into a single municipality. There was further urban growth in the 1980s, when a gap between some industrial parks to the south was closed with the construction of additional commercial zones.

Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before AD 100. In 962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation was formed in 1815.
