Local history

The name Bergatreute suggests a settlement in the first millennium AD. The name is likely to come from a clan chief called Berengar who founded a settlement in a clearing. Since 1268 the place belonged to the Landvogtei Swabia , which in 1486 fell to Front Austria . As part of the Peace of Pressburg , the area came to Württemberg in 1805 , where it belonged to the Oberamt Waldsee from 1806 to 1934, then to the Waldsee district from 1934 to 1938, with which it then came to the Ravensburg district in 1938 .

Coronation of Mary in the Abetsweiler Chapel

The parish and pilgrimage church of St. Philippus and Jacobus is the landmark and most important building in terms of art history by Bergatreute .

There are six Roman Catholic chapels in the municipality, which are also known as the "Bergatreuter Kapellenkranz":

• Chapel of St. George in Gwigg, 1718 (in the 18th century a branch church of Haisterkirch ); Equipment: Figures of St. Konrad and Norbert
