- Border to the municipality of Langen near Bregenz
The shared border runs over a short section of around 450 meters in the Bregenzerach river bed in the far north of the municipality between the confluence of the Rotach and the confluence of the Läuberbach , which forms the border with the municipality of Buch. There are no direct connections between the municipalities of Alberschwende and Langen.
- Border to the municipality of Doren
The Bregenzerach forms the border between Alberschwende and Doren in the section between the confluences of Rotach and Weißach . There is a direct connection via the footbridge in Bozenau. However, this is closed to motorized traffic.
- Border to the municipality of Langenegg
Between Alberschwende and Langenegg, the Bregenzerach forms the border between the confluence of the Weißach and the confluence of the Bommerngraben . There is a road connection between Langenegg and the village of Müselbach.
- Border to the community of Lingenau
Here, too, the border runs along the Bregenzerach between the confluence of the Bommerngraben and the confluence of the Subersach and the Bregenzerach. Since both the areas of the municipality of Alberschwende and Lingenaus had belonged to the Mehrerau monastery from the earliest times , there was a path connection via the Lingenauer Tobel early on . The Lingenau high bridge was built between 1964 and 1969 as one of the largest reinforced concrete arch bridges in Central Europe. The Hittisauer Straße connects Lingenau with the village of Müselbach via the 370 meter long bridge.
- Border to the market town of Egg
For a short distance the Bregenzerach forms the border between Alberschwende and Egg. From the confluence of the Vogelkähnerbach , the common municipal boundary follows the course of the brook, past the Tuppen and Kaltenbrunnen parcels to its source at Brüggelekopf . This point is also the border point to the community of Schwarzenberg. In the Tuppen area , the Bregenzerwaldstraße leaves the Alberschwende municipal area and continues in the Egg municipal area. In the area of the Brüggelekopf there are numerous forest roads and hiking trails connecting the two communities. Some buildings in the Egger municipality can only be reached from Alberschwende.
- Border to the community of Schwarzenberg
From the source of the Vogelkennerbach, the border runs in an apparently arbitrary border line to the Schwanteln plot . From there the border runs north-west, along the Scheidbach to the confluence with the Losenbach below the Maltach plot . This is where the municipal boundaries of Alberschwende, Schwarzenberg and Dornbirn meet. The route over the Lorena Pass is historically significant. Today all connecting paths are forest roads, hiking trails or local roads. The Schwarzenberg district of Maltach is only connected to the road network via Alberschwende.
- Border to the municipality of Dornbirn
From the border to Dornbirn, the Grenzbach is called Stauderbach . After crossing the Staudertobel , the stream flows into the Schwarzach . A short distance follows the municipal boundary of the Schwarzach. The Achrainstraße crossed in the local situation Achrain municipal boundaries.
- Border to the community of Bildstein
The border between Alberschwende and Bildstein has a seemingly arbitrary zigzag course. First it runs north-west towards Farnach , then north-east to the origin of the Rotachbach (also Gfellerbach, past Abendreute . The border runs along the creek to the border with the municipality of Buch. The Bregenzerwaldstraße crosses the municipality boundary in the Schwarzachtobel area. The Schwarzachtobelstraße (L 7) in the direction of Farnach also connects Alberschwende with Bildstein. There is another connection in the Farnachmoos area . The Alberschwendner district of Bereute can only be reached via the municipality of Bildstein.
- Boundary to the municipality of Buch
The municipal boundaries of Alberschwende and Buch im Rotachbach meet between the Rotach and Halder parcels. From here the stream is called Grenzgraben. This later becomes the Läuberbach. At its confluence with the Bregenzerach, the borders of Alberschwende, Buch and Langen near Bregenz meet. The municipalities are connected to one another by Bucher Straße (L 14). There is only one other hiking trail as a connection.

history
Name story
The place name is derived from a clearing (Schwende) by an Alberich or Albrich , who was the first settler to be mentioned in the clearing name . Alberschwende is called Albrichsswendi in a protection document of Pope Gregory IX. Mentioned for the first time in a document for the Mehrerau monastery on December 23, 1227. In 1231 it is mentioned in a papal protection document as Albrichsuendi . In 1290 it is called Albriswende in the Mehrerauer Zinsrodel , ten years later as Albrichsswendi . The Montforter Zinsrodel from 1379 speaks of Albrisschwendi .
Alberschwende before the settlement
Alberschwende was hit by ice ages several times in the last 1.5 million years. Today's municipality was under a layer of ice several hundred meters thick. The Hochälpele was probably the closest point that was not covered by ice. While there is hardly any reliable information about the earlier ice ages, there are more precise ideas about the last cold phase, the Worm Ice Age . Around 24,000 years ago, the Rhine and Ill glaciers were likely to have worked their way forward to cover the Alberschwende municipal area. The peak of this ice age is likely to have been reached between 18,500 and 17,500 years before the present time. At this point in time the Rhine Glacier reached as far as Singen and beyond the German Danube. The Rhein-Ill-Glacier, coming from the Walgau , was pushed over the saddle from Alberschwende into the Vorderwald . The Ill and Bregenzerwald glaciers collided on the Bödele . The upper limit of the Ice Age glaciers was 1,350 meters. The Bregenzerwald Glacier, which was pushing to the northwest, was dammed in the Alberschwende area by the Rhein-Ill Glacier. Large, flat firn areas formed over today's Alberschwende, covering the glacier masses. The glaciers began to melt gradually around 17,000 years ago. On the deeper edges of the melting ice masses, ice-edge terraces clearly formed, for example with forewood, fir trees and reeds at 755 to 690 meters above sea level. While the glaciers were slowly receding, a natural reservoir formed between the Rhein-Ill glacier, which was stagnant near Müselbach, and the Bregenzerwald glacier, which had already receded. The outflow was via Oberstaufen . A few centuries later, the lake was largely replenished by numerous rivers, such as the Bregenzerach. The Rhein-Ill glacier moved northeast and cleared the landscape between Bildstein and Fischbach . The wet meadows and moors that still exist today are relics from this time.
From the beginning of settlement until 1338
- Settlement
When the Romans took possession of most of Vorarlberg in 15 BC, two Celtic tribes were already living here : the Vindeliker and the Brigantier . The Romans named their newly built trade and military center Brigantium , today's Bregenz, after the second-named tribe . The inhabitants of this early settlement relied on local food. Since the Alpine Rhine Valley was constantly inundated at this time and the Rhine often changed course, the Romans began to resort to the flanks of the Rhine Valley. For this reason it can be assumed that the Romans used the municipality of Alberschwende, which is close to the Rhine Valley, as a hunting area at that time. It is assumed, however, that parts of the Bregenzerwald were used for alpine farming in summer even before the arrival of the Romans . Field names such as “Lorena”, “Bullersch”, “Subers” or “Schadona” originate from the Celtic settlement period.
In 259 AD, the Alamanni conquered and destroyed Brigantium and the surrounding country. The armed conflicts lasted until about 400 BC. Much of Vorarlberg was settled and cultivated during Roman times . At first Alberschwende was a hunting area, later also an alpine area. After the turmoil of the Great Migration , it was permanently settled before the year 1000. Subsequently, first the Goths and later the Franks conquered Vorarlberg. The possibility that individual people withdrew to the area around Alberschwende at that time has not been confirmed, as the armed conflicts were almost exclusively fought in the Rhine Valley. Nevertheless, the settlement and general land grabbing took place some time later.
While the Vorderwald was settled from the Allgäu , the settlement took place in Alberschwende and the entire Hinterwald from the Bregenz area. The main settlement route is likely to have taken place via Wolfurt , Buggenegg and Roßgaß, in some cases the settlement could also have run via Schwarzach and Farnach. This makes Alberschwende a key point in the settlement of the Bregenzerwald. It is younger than the towns in the Rhine Valley, but older than all the settlements in the Bregenzerwald.
- Count of Bregenz
The Franconian kings entrusted the members of their court nobility with the administration of the newly conquered territories. The yield of the lands belonged to members of the court nobility, the area according to the legal opinion of the time belonged to the king. Nevertheless, over time it was seen more and more as the property of the fiefdoms and shared and inherited among each other without the king's approval. In the Lake Constance area, the Udalrichinger family became particularly powerful. These were initially based in Bodman on the Untersee , and later moved on to Buchhorn . From around 920 they were based in Bregenz . St. Gebhard comes from this family . He was Bishop of Constance between 979 and 995 . Probably between 1032 and 1043 an inheritance was divided between the Counts of Bregenz and the Counts of Pfullendorf . As a result, Alberschwende belonged on the one hand to the county of Bregenz, which also represented a common parish area. On the other hand, a few parts belonged to the Grafschaft Pfullendorf. From 1079 onwards there was a dispute between Pope and Emperor about supremacy in Europe. This conflict is known today as the investiture dispute . The then Count Ulrich von Bregenz opted for the papal side. In order to strengthen the reform side but also his own political power, he promoted the settlement of the Bregenzerwald. He had a monastery built over the grave of Blessed Diedo in Andelsbuch , which he occupied with monks from the Petershausen monastery . He left the “Hasuunouwa” estate in Alberschwende to this monastery, which roughly corresponds to today's parcels of Halden , Ober- and Unterfischbach and castles . Due to the difficult conditions in Andelsbuch, the monastery could not be held for long and should have been moved to Bregenz around 1094. Due to resistance from the Counts of Pfullendorf, who owned half the parish of Bregenz, the monastery was not founded directly in Bregenz, but in the Au on Lake Constance. The Mehrerau Monastery was created . The possessions of the monastery in the Bregenzerwald were allowed to remain with the monastery despite the relocation. Count Ulrich von Bregenz died in a hunting accident in 1097, but the donations from the counts to the monastery were not yet complete. Either his successor Count Ulrich or his son Rudolf von Bregenz had a church built in Alberschwende. It was a count's own church, which was located on the grounds of the count's large court. Blessed Merbod is said to have come to Alberschwende as a pastor in either 1110 or 1112 . At his request, Count Rudolf von Bregenz is said to have given the church in Alberschwende and its possessions to the Mehrerau monastery. Merbod died a martyr's death on March 23, 1120. Count Rudolf von Bregenz died in 1160. With him, the Ulriche house died out. His daughter Elisabeth von Bregenz was married to the Count Palatine Hugo von Tübingen .
- Montforter
The takeover by Count Hugo von Tübingen turned out to be complicated, as Count Rudolf von Pfullendorf also made inheritance claims, since he was also related to Rudolf von Bregenz and owned half of the Bregenz parish. In addition to disputes, this also led to a war of succession. Since Rudolf von Pfullendorf's son Berthold died before his father in 1167, the rule went to Hugo von Tübingen, who assumed the inheritance as Hugo I. von Montfort. The Pfullendorfer's fortune, including part of Alberschwende, went to Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa . Alberschwende was first mentioned in a document during the reign of the Montforters. The village is certainly much older and was also mentioned in writing in earlier times, but many documents have been lost due to the repeated plundering of the Mehrerau monastery and its dissolution in 1805. On April 30, 1290, the German King Rudolf von Habsburg pledged the rights of the former county of Pfullendorfer in the Bregenzerwald to Count Hugo von Montfort for 1000 silver marks. This pledge was never redeemed, which is why the area remained in the possession of the Montforters from that point on . The last Montforter from Bregenz, Hugo von Montfort, died on July 26, 1338. Due to inheritance disputes, the inheritance was divided on November 5, 1338. The back forest went to the rule Feldkirch , the front forest, including Alberschwende, went to the rule Bregenz .
From 1338 until today
The Habsburgs ruled the places in Vorarlberg alternately from Tyrol and Upper Austria ( Freiburg im Breisgau ).
From around 1600 Alberschwende was its own court . From 1805 to 1814 Vorarlberg belonged to Bavaria and then again to Austria with the fall of Napoleon. For Austrian province of Vorarlberg Alberschwende heard since the founding of the Vorarlberg Landtag. 1861
The place was part of the French occupation zone in Austria from 1945 to 1955.
population
Population development
Since the rectory of Alberschwende burned down in 1503 and 1598 as well as the court building in 1792 and parish registers only existed in Alberschwende from 1695 , it is difficult to say anything about the population development of Alberschwende before this time. What is certain is that Alberschwende must have had a very high population for that time, since otherwise it would not have become its own parish, parish and court of its own. The population increase between approx. 1750 and 1850 is exceptionally high. Despite a few epidemics that killed many children, the population rose from 700 in 1750 to 1800 in 1850. The first official census has only been in existence since 1869 The graph shows the stagnation during the two world wars and the strong emigration due to a lack of job opportunities due to the shift of traffic to the railways due to the construction of the Bregenzerwaldbahn and its opening in 1902 between 1900 and 1910.
Population structure

Infrastructure
traffic
Road traffic
Alberschwende is the traffic engineering "gateway to the Bregenzerwald". The most important traffic axis in the region, the Bregenzerwaldstraße (L 200) , runs through the municipality . Coming from Dornbirn or Schwarzach in the Rhine Valley , it leads through the Achrain tunnel to the center of Alberschwend, from where the road continues past the Alberschwend districts of Lanzen , Dreßlen and Müselbach to Egg . The L 200 connects the Bregenzerwald directly to the highest-ranking road network, so the Rheintal / Walgau motorway (A 14) can be reached from Alberschwende within 10 to 15 minutes .
In the center of the municipality, three Vorarlberg regional roads meet with Bregenzerwaldstraße, Achrainstraße (L 49) and Bucher Straße (L 14) . As an alternative to driving through the Achrain Tunnel, which opened in January 2009, it is also possible to drive through the Schwarzachtobel via Schwarzachtobelstraße (L 7), which meets the Bregenzerwaldstraße again shortly after the upper tunnel portal of the Achrain Tunnel.
In the district of Müselbach, the Hittisauer Straße (L 205), another main traffic axis for the development of the Vorderen Bregenzerwald, branches off from the Bregenzerwaldstraße. This road leads from Müselbach over the valley of the Bregenzer Ach to Lingenau and crosses the Lingenau high bridge , one of the largest reinforced concrete arch bridges in Central Europe , on the municipal boundary between Alberschwende and Lingenau . The Müselbacher Straße (L 25) connects Müselbach with the community of Langenegg on the other side of the valley of the Bregenzer Ach via the old country road .
