history

Bezegg-Sul (2007)

The hermit Diedo settled in Andelsbuch in the middle of the 11th century (in "Andoltisbuoc"). He probably came from the family of the Counts of Bregenz (Ulriche) and built a cell and a prayer house before he died in 1080. In 1086 the monastery of St. Peter in Andelsbuch was founded by monks from the monastery Petershausen near Konstanz. Count Ulrich von Bregenz (d. 1097) gave the village of Andelsbuch and the reliquary of Diedo to the Abbot Theoderich (from Hirsau). The monastery was relocated to Bregenz as early as 1092, but as the owner of the Meierhof it remained the main lord in Andelsbuch. A "Dieten" chapel (Marienkapelle) in Andelsbuch was first mentioned in 1472. This chapel was probably demolished around 1718 when the parish church was expanded. In the " Carta fundatorum Monasterii nostri Prigantini " (1519) by Jakob Mennel, court historian of Emperor Maximilian I , there is an account of the worship of Diedo and the grave of the hermit in the parish church in Andelsbuch (or the Marienkapelle / Dieten chapel).

Andelsbuch was first mentioned in the " Casus Monasterii Petrihusensis " in the middle of the 12th century. The first parish was founded in Andelsbuch in 1170, although this continued to be subordinate to the monastery in Bregenz. Reuthe bei Bezau, Bezau (until 1497) and Au ("Jagdhausen") also belonged to the parish of Andelsbuch . In a bull of Pope Innocent IV of September 17, 1249, parcels in Andelsbuch were mentioned for the first time in a document ( Bersbuch , Unterbezegg, Moos and Heidegg) and the monastery property was described in detail. On January 9, 1380, Andelsbuch, together with the entire Bregenzerwald , Dornbirn , Langenegg and Staufen , was handed over to the Habsburgs, after Rudolf von Montfort-Feldkirch had pawned the Hinterbregenzerwald and Andelsbuch in 1375. The freedom rights of the Bregenzerwald people were confirmed. The Habsburgs ruled the places in Vorarlberg since the 14th century, alternating from Tyrol and Upper Austria ( Freiburg im Breisgau ). However, a self-administration of the forest peasantry developed (the so-called “forest republic”), with its own free rural community, its own constitution (land use) and high and blood jurisdiction . A Landammann was elected as headmaster ; his town hall stood on the Bezegg in what is now the municipality of Andelsbuch. On January 22, 1397, the first proven court day took place in Andelsbuch (on the Espan).

From May 1, 1406 to April 4, 1408, Andelsbuch belonged to the Confederation “ Bund ob dem See ” after the Bregenzerwald had been conquered by this federation. The assembly at the Bezegg (council meeting) was first mentioned in a document in 1522. From 1546 the first witch trials took place in Andelsbuch. In the middle of the 16th century (around 1570) the Diedo brotherhood was established in Andelsbuch. This oldest of four brotherhoods in Andelsbuch existed until about the middle / end of the 18th century. On April 5, 1658, Andelsbuch bought himself free from the Bregenz monastery (Mehrerau). On June 21, 1710, the vicar general of the Diocese of Constance approved the renovation and enlargement of the parish church of Andelsbuch (construction work until 1718). However, it was not until 1771 that a foundation was established and a chaplain was appointed for his own chaplaincy in Andelsbuch.

In 1788 the first poor house was built in Andelsbuch. A “poor house foundation” was founded by twelve donors from Andelsbuch on June 6th, 1854 and in 1871 the Sisters of Mercy of St. Vincent took care of it (hence also “ Vinzenzheim ”. See also: Marienheim .). The “poor house foundation” was dissolved in 1939 and re-established in 1948.

From records of the community around 1764 it can be concluded that there was a spa in Andelsbuch (see steel bath ). The Andelsbuch craftsmen founded their own craft guild on January 6, 1791 (a general Bregenzerwald craft guild was founded in 1707/1708 and dissolved in 1879). Such a local craft guild was founded in the neighboring village of Egg as early as 1754. From 1804 the Taube inn in Andelsbuch was the guild pub.

From 1805 to 1814 the place belonged to Bavaria ( Peace of Pressburg ); the town hall on the Bezegg was demolished in 1807 as part of the Bavarian judicial and administrative reforms. In 1808 the cadastral community Andelsbuch was founded. The limits that have now been set have only been changed slightly. In 1814 the place came back to Austria . Andelsbuch has belonged to the federal state of Vorarlberg since it was founded in 1861. In 1862, the political community of Andelsbuch was founded by the Reichsgemeindegesetz. In 1844 and 1845 the road from Alberschwende via Egg to Andelsbuch was expanded and from 1859 to 1861 it was extended to Bezau.

On August 20, 1871, a column ( Bezegg-Sul ) was unveiled on the Bezegg in memory of the town hall that had been here for centuries. Also from 1871 (1873) the first cable car ferry was built across the Bregenz Ache. In 1879 the sickness support association and in 1882 the volunteer fire brigade Andelsbuch was founded. The savings and loan association in Andelsbuch (later Raiffeisenkasse) was founded on December 3, 1893 and began operations on January 1, 1894. On April 4, 1898, the General Assembly decided to set up a goods store to supply the population. In 1977 the merger with the Raiffeisenkassen Egg, Schwarzenberg, Großdorf and Lingenau took place to form the Raiffeisenbank Mittelbregenzerwald. The cattle breeding association Andelsbuch was founded on January 28, 1894 with the aim of raising cattle breeding in general (statutes).

The " Tanzhaus " in Andelsbuch, in which the Lower Court was held three times a year for centuries , was demolished in favor of the construction of the railway ( Bregenzerwaldbahn ).

The Andelsbuch power plant was put into operation in 1908 by the Jenny & Schindler company, and the telephone found its way into Andelsbuch.

The previous “Gasthof Bad” (1864) was taken over by the Sisters of Mercy in 1925 and run as “ Marienheim ” in the future (sold in 2006 and a residential complex built).

The Bezegg-Sul was included as a symbol in the municipal coat of arms of Andelsbuch in 1930 (coat of arms awarded on April 9, 1930). The first land register of the municipality of Andelsbuch was opened on December 1, 1932 at the Bezau District Court . From May 6, 1945 to 1955, the place was part of the French occupation zone in Austria.

Between 1969 and 1971 the ski facilities on the Niedere were built by the Andelsbuch mountain railways . The new altar of the parish church Andelsbuch was consecrated on June 30, 1974 after the renovation (1973–1976). In 1980, Andelsbuch celebrated its 900th anniversary.

Long-established large families in Andelsbuch are: Bär, Feurstein, Feuerstein, Fink, Geser, Lipburger, Metzler, Meusburger and Ritter.

coat of arms

The seal of the community originally showed a fir tree (like almost all communities in the Bregenzerwald ). On April 9, 1930 the municipality was given a new coat of arms by the Vorarlberg state government . It shows a silver shield with a rising outwardly curved blue tip. The Bezegg-Sul is shown in the shield . In the upper corners there are two blue stars on the right and left. In the original, the shield is surrounded by a bronze-colored border. On the stylized Bezegg-Sul in the coat of arms, the fir tree, which was kept in the seal by the community for centuries, is further represented. A symbolic reference to the lower and also briefly existing high jurisdiction was dispensed with. (see, however, the coat of arms of the municipality of Egg).

Population development

The proportion of foreigners at the end of 2002 was 6.8 percent.
