history

The first traces of settlement come from the Celts , a late Celtic square hill which either remained unfinished or was largely removed. It is located on the so-called "Schloßbühl" about one kilometer northeast of today's village. The remains, with an extension of 100 meters in the north, 90 meters in the east (moat still recognizable), 20 meters (unfinished) in the south and steep slope without a moat in the west, were in the past wrongly interpreted as remains of a castle or palace.

Bierstetten was first mentioned in a document in 1291 as a bustette . It belonged to the city ​​and Vogtei of Saulgau ( Vogtey Sulgau ) bought by the Roman-German King Albrecht I of Austria in 1299 . From then on, the place was subject to Austrian state sovereignty. Together with Bondorf and Steinbronnen, he formed the independent office of Bierstetten. In 1313, the Jew Gottschach zu Saulgau held the taxes in the office of Bierstetten as an Austrian pledge. The Austrian fiefdom was subordinate to the Oberamt Stockach and came as pledge to the Truchsessen von Waldburg . In 1588, the office of Bierstetten and the office of Tissen were awarded to Count Wilhelm von Zimmer by the clerk Karl von Waldburg-Scheer ; with his death the line of the Counts of Zimmer ended . The pledge came in 1601 by inheritance to Bertold von Königsegg , who had a sister of Wilhelm as his wife.

Since the Truchsessische Haus wanted to redeem the pledge and leave the Bierstetten office to the Schussenried Monastery , protracted disputes arose between the Truchsess-Scheer and Königsegg houses. These were resolved in 1746 in such a way that the office of Bierstetten Königsegg was left as property, while the office of Tissen, namely Groß- und Kleintissen and Nonnenweiler , returned to the Grafschaft Friedberg . Furthermore, in addition to the granting of the pledge of 8,300 guilders, Königsegg paid the treasurer 25,000 guilders. At the same time, with the consent of Königsegg, the village of Allmannsweiler was given to the Schussenried monastery with high and low authorities for the sum of 15,000 guilders as a result of a contract concluded between Friedberg-Scheer and Schussenried on March 18, 1746 . Under the condition that the place Renhardsweiler was thrown into the Bierstetten office instead of Allmannsweiler , Austria finally granted the feudal approval to what happened in 1750 and feuded Schussenried with Allmannsweiler for the duration of the Truchsessian man tribe, subject to the right to tax to the front Austrian landscape treasury , Königsegg but with the office of Bierstetten under the previous conditions.

In 1788, Königsegg-Aulendorf sold the Bierstetten office to the Buchau women's monastery , which Austria now enfeoffs with for the duration of the Königegg man tribe. State sovereignty, taxation rights etc. remained Austrian as before, and in the latter respect, Bierstetten was also part of the Upper Austrian state.

When the Buchau women's monastery was secularized by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 , the office of Bierstetten fell to the Princely House of Taxis ; In 1806 it came to the Kingdom of Württemberg . King Friedrich I of Württemberg gave the communities of Bierstetten and Renhardsweiler their independence again. The community of Bierstetten belonged to the Württemberg Oberamt Saulgau , from 1934 to the district of Saulgau . It was not until 1933 that the two communities were reunited to form a mayor's office, which the Mayor of Bierstetter Josef Hirschle managed until May 18, 1945. On March 4, 1945, explosive and incendiary bombs fell on the village in a presumed emergency drop.

As part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , Bierstetten was incorporated into the city of Saulgau on January 1, 1975.
