history

Parts of the Ostrachgau were owned by the last barons' son, Bertold von Bachobiten (Bachhaupten), who died as a monk in the Salem monastery . In 1175, Salem acquired Bachhaupten, Tafertsweiler and Eschendorf by will or purchase. In 1200, with the approval of Counts Konrad and Heinrich von Wartenberg, the possessions of Messrs Haller zu Gunzenhausen came to Salem. Thus the places Bachhaupten, Tafertsweiler, Eschendorf and Gunzenhausen formed the first Salemische Amt in Ostrachgau - the Amt Bachhaupten.

In 1603 the office of Bachhaupten was moved to the market town of Ostrach and was called Oberamt Ostrach. The secular bailiff was now in Ostrach, the clergyman, a priest, stayed in the castle at Bachhaupten as prefect and representative of the imperial abbot of Salem.

In the 19th century, Bachhaupten formed an independent community association with Tafertsweiler, Eschendorf and Gunzenhausen. In 1806 the village came to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and with this in 1850, as part of the Hohenzollern Lands, to Prussia .

As part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , the municipality of Tafertsweiler was incorporated into Ostrach on October 1, 1974 with the town of Bachhaupten.
