History of Attenweiler

The place Attenweiler was first mentioned in 1254 as the seat of local nobility. The lords of Atinwilare are recorded from 1254 to 1296. Between 1347 and 1531, the Heilig-Geist-Spital in Biberach an der Riss gradually acquired almost all of the village. As in the equal imperial city of Biberach, services of both denominations were celebrated in Attenweiler from 1548. In the course of mediatization in 1803 with Biberach to the Counts of Sternberg-Manderscheid, in 1835 they sold the property to the Kingdom of Württemberg .

Until the end of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), today's district of Rusenberg belonged to the Catholic Jakob Schenk von Stauffenberg , who sold it to the Franciscan monastery in Oggelsbeuren in 1656 because he had moved to Riississen due to an inheritance .

History of Oggelsbeuren

The village of Oggelsbeuren, north of Attenweiler, was first mentioned in 1275 as Oggelspurren , and from the 16th century it was also often called Oberspeiren . The church and parish were incorporated into Buchau Abbey before 1363 . The place was owned by the Counts of Grüningen-Landau , from the beginning of the 14th century part of the Warthausen rulership and with this from 1331 in the possession of the House of Habsburg . Until 1446 the place divided the changing pledges of Warthausen. From 1446 the Lords of Stein were enfeoffed with the place. Presumably they placed the place under the knighthood of Danube under the imperial knighthood in the 16th century . In 1695 the place came into the possession of the Buchau monastery, with the secularization in 1803 to the princes of Thurn and Taxis . State sovereignty fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806, which administered the place from 1810 as part of the Riedlingen District Office. Until 1849 Oggelsbeuren was also under the civil administration of the Thurn and Taxis.
