History

Stutensee was founded January 1, 1975 when the four villages of Blankenloch (with Büchig), Friedrichstal, Spöck and Staffort were combined into one municipality. All parts of the town are old villages. Spöck was first mentioned in official documents as Speccha in 865, Staffort 1110 as Stafphort, Blankenloch 1337 as Blankelach and Büchig 1373 as Buchech. Friedrichstal was founded in 1699. Huguenots fleeing religious persecution came from the north of France, and also by way of Belgium and Switzerland.
