period (e.g. on the Buchberg and Dickihof), and a Roman
villa with graves in Unterschlatt. In the Early Middle Ages
the monasteries of St. Gallen
, Rheinau
, Reichenau
and Allerheiligen owned land in Basadingen. In 1260 the monastery of St. Katharinental bought Reichenau's Kehlhof (a farm owned by a monastery). By 1330 St. Katharinental had acquired many possessions in the village, as well as the low courts
right and tithe
rights. It became the sole landholder in the village. The high court rights were owned by the bailiwick
of Diessenhofen
by about 1300. In 1460 the high court transferred to the city of Diessenhofen, which also had the rights to the low court from 1527 until 1798.
During the High Middle Ages
the village belonged partly to the parish
of Stammheim
and partly to the Basadingen parish, which was formed in the 13th Century when St. Martin's Church was built. In 1264, the church was brought under the authority of the monastery of St. Katharinental. After the Protestant Reformation
in 1529, the parish of Basadingen and the Basadingen portion of the Stammeheim parish, were merged into a new Basadingen parish, which also included the village of Willisdorf. In 1631 a Catholic
parish was established, and St. Martin's Church became a shared church
, a condition that remains even today. In 1845 the existing church was dedicated.
During the Middle Ages, the number of farms decreased from 40 in 1328 to only 16 in 1433, only to double again from 1470 to 1550. After that village population, land use and number of farms remained stable until 1800. In 1800, the number of farms rose sharply. Large forests also favored the expansion of the woodworking industry. In 1900 an embroidery factory and a brickyard offered some jobs, but the village retained a strong farming village character until around 1970. Since then agricultural amelioration
(mostly, relocation of fruit orchards) and a strong population growth has led to changes in the appearance and character of the village.

The right to appoint pastors of the village church (built in 1275) was held by the Göberg family. Soon after the Protestant Reformation
, it became part of the parish of Stammheim and remained so until 1827. The Diessenhofen parish staff gave the sermon after 1585 in Schlattingen. In 1827 the church of Schlattingen became a filial church
of Basadingen.
