Frickenhausen is a town in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
For the first time the municipality was called in the early 14th century Frickenhusen. The main source of income was the growing of wine. However, epidemics, war and bad harvests made the income volatile, so many people worked from mid-18th century on linen weaving, spinning and flax.
Today's Protestant church was built in 1500 as a late Gothic village church.
Since the Reformation Frickenhausen is predominantly Protestant. Today there is a Protestant church in each of the three municipal parts. In the center there is also a Roman Catholic church and since several years a New Apostolic congregation.
The municipality Tischardt was incorporated on April 15, 1972 to the municipality Frickenhausen. The coat of arms was adopted in 1923, it shows in a blue shield a silver table, behind are three silver trees.
Linsenhofen came on January 1, 1975, by incorporation to Frickenhausen. Linsenhofen was first mentioned in 1137 in the Zwiefalter Chronik. The coat of arms can be detected since 1778. On a seal two men are seen, holding a grape between them standing.
