Establishing and territorial affiliation
Hülben was probably founded in the time of the Alemannic conquest between 700 and 800.

Only in 1866 Hülben had his own parish.

Politics
Council
The council Hülben has 12 members. The local elections in Baden-Württemberg 2014 were made in Hülben according to the majority vote, this means that only one list was drawn up. The council consists of the elected honorary councilors and the mayor as chairman. The mayor is entitled to vote in the municipal council.
The old coat of arms was awarded on 26 April 1951 by Ministry of the Interior Württemberg-Hohenzollern. Blazon: "In silver over a black Wellenschildfuß a black bar." After a council resolution of 12 March 1948, the emblem of the already then no longer predominantly agricultural municipality should include other figures. The Wellenschildfuß refers to the municipality of origin, which is derived from "hülwe" = pool or lake. The bar is reminiscent of the Knights of Dettingen who had possessions in Hülben. The family of Cudi miles de Tettingen led this crest figure.
