geography

Geographical location

The two watersheds of Immenstadt
Depiction of the elevation levels in hundred meter steps and the ice age lakes in the municipality of Immenstadt

Immenstadt is located in the Allgäu in southwestern Bavaria, halfway between Kempten in the north and Oberstdorf in the south. The city, whose center is at an altitude of 729  m , spreads out on the east bank of the Great Alpsee . The Great Alpsee with 2.4 km² of water and an adjacent nature reserve is a popular recreational destination for the surrounding population as well as for tourists.

The Konstanzer Ach flows through the city, coming from the Konstanzer Tal, crossing the Large and Small Alpsee, in a west-east direction . It flows into the Iller at the so-called Illerspitz, shortly after it has taken up the Hochrainebach flowing in from the south . Also coming from the south (headwaters at Alpe Gund, below the Stuiben at 1,500  m ), the so-called Steigbach (partly tunneled under) flows through the town center towards the north, and then flows into the Konstanzer Ach below the Kalvarienberg. The source of the Weißach , which flows into Lake Constance via the Bregenzer Ach, is located south of the Dreherberg on the southwestern border of Immenstadt . Between the source branches of the Weißach and the Steigbach there is a watershed between the outflows over the Rhine to the North Sea and those over the Iller to the Danube and on to the Black Sea . Another watershed in the Bergstätt area in the northwest divides the Kirchholzbach, Luibach and Stixnerbach, which flow westwards to the Untere Argen and thus to Lake Constance, and all other waters, such as Hölltobelbach, Mühlbach and Schrattenbach, which flow towards the Iller.

history

Early history

A Neolithic settlement in the Immenstadt area is registered as a ground monument at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation under the number D-7-8427-0083 . The Stone Age pile dwelling settlement on the southern bank of the Alpsee has not yet been proven.

Antiquity

In Immenstadt in the nineteenth century, the Roman Vemania was wrongly suspected in a number of publications . Only finds such as the Priap ring from Rothenfels, a burial mound and a Roman golden ring near Freundpolz, a bronze fibula near Göhlenbühl, ancient foundations near Eckarts and Werdenstein and also testify to the presence of ancient peoples, such as Romans or Celts, in the Immenstadt area the sunken wooden road in nearby Goymoos.

middle Ages

Rothenfels ruins in 1816

The history of the rulership of Immenstadt by Rothenfels begins in the High Middle Ages as a fiefdom from the St. Gallen monastery to the Udalrichingers . In 1088 the rule was conquered and occupied by Welf IV . Legend has it that Welf IV hid the documents and deeds that were stolen in Augsburg in the same year. "Two chests in his Schloss zuo Rottenfels with old letters from Augspurg, from which quite a few generations came from old", Konrad Peutinger described the Rothenfels jewels in a letter to Bartholomäus V. Welser in 1537 . The historian Alfred Schröder doubts this in his 1919 book about the diocese of Augsburg. In 1091 the Guelph had to surrender the rule to the Counts of Kirchberg as a fiefdom of the St. Gallen Monastery . Around 1240 the fief went to Hartmann von Grüningen and then in 1243 it was acquired by Emperor Friedrich II . He gave Rothenfels as a fiefdom to the nobles of Starckenberg, then in 1280 by Rudolf von Habsburg to the Knights of Schellenberg , who came into possession of the fiefdom in 1316.

Nothing is known about the origins of the village. The name Imendorf was first recorded for the settlement in 1275 in the Liber decimationis . Around 1332, the Counts of Montfort acquired Rothenfels Castle and the associated Rothenfels lordship . In the following 200 years, the dominant power of the Montforti branch line Tettnang-Rothenfels was established and the nearby Imendorf was expanded into a residential town. The first mentioned trader in Imendorf from 1345 is Hansem der Smid von Ymendorf .

On July 22, 1360, the feast of St. Maria Magdalena, Emperor Charles IV granted the Count of Montfort the right to fortify Immendorf and thus the right of the city of Lindau. Associated with the town elevation was the right to a weekly market. The residents of Immendorf were henceforth free. In 1407 the young city successfully stood the test of siege by the Appenzell farmers. Around 1404 the house of Montfort Immenstadt pledged to the Memmingen citizen Heinrich Kuntzelmann, but released it again in 1410. In 1440 Count Heinrich von Montfort received the so-called right of escort on the road between Oberjoch and Lake Constance . On January 8, 1453, Emperor Friedrich III. the town of Immenstadt in the market town of Langenargen on Lake Constance . The area experienced the next revaluation after the city elevation by Emperor Friedrich III. who raised the Montfortsche lordship of Rothenfels to a county in 1471. The increased traffic volume at the end of the High Middle Ages was also taken into account here and in 1494 a road and the upper toll bridge over the Iller to Sonthofen were built.

Modern times

Immenstadt around 1523 after Bernhard Strigel

Another unsuccessful siege from the west took place for 20 weeks by the so-called "sea heaps" coming from Lindau at the beginning of the Peasants' War in 1525. According to a contract concluded in 1485, the Montfort rights in Tannheim , Tannberg , Lechtal and Walsertal were ceded to Austria in 1531 , thus reducing Immenstadt's sphere of influence to the left side of the Illerside. Immenstadt achieved economic prosperity through the salt pile and linen trade. In 1536 an "Imperial private canvas show" was awarded. Located on the great salt road from Hall in Tirol to Lake Constance , Immenstadt was the customs, stacking and transshipment point for the “white gold”. In 1546 the area became involved in the dispute over the Reformation, as troops of the Schmalkaldic League occupied Rothenfels Castle when the ruling Count Hugo von Montfort was absent in the emperor's service. In 1550, Count Hugo von Montfort built a simple city palace within the city walls on Immenstädter Marktplatz (today Marienplatz). In 1552 he was the imperial envoy to the Council of Trent .

In 1567 Ulrich von Montfort sold the county of Rothenfels and the rule of Staufen for 150,000 guilders despite a higher bid from Archduke Ferdinand to his brother-in-law, Baron Johann Jakob von Königsegg . After major changes in taxation, the Rothenfels and Staufers presented Emperor Rudolf with a memorandum with 134 different complaints against Georg von Königsegg-Rothenfels (also called Baron Jörg), who had been the sole owner of the area since 1588. In 1599 the people of Immenstadt, whom he renounced civil rights because of their behavior in the Peasant War, issued another memorandum with 153 points of complaint. There was no reaction from the emperor, the baron only said: “The Immenstadters should stop drinking, then they would have money to pay taxes”. The city lost almost 70 percent of its population through the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) and the outbreak of the plague . Baron Georg von Königsegg-Rothenfels was assassinated in 1622. The murderer was torn to pieces by four harnessed oxen and his house burned down on orders from the authorities.

In 1629 Emperor Ferdinand II raised the Königsegger to the rank of count . Immenstadt became the royal seat of the county of Königsegg-Rothenfels in 1663 .

At the end of October 1703, Bavarian-French troops attacked the imperial camp in Immenstadt in the War of the Spanish Succession . Since the reign of Franz Fidel von Königsegg in 1771, no death sentence has been pronounced in Immenstadt. From 1778, hunting and catching bears , lynxes and wolves is prohibited in Immenstadt and in the Staufen rulership . On February 25, 1784, one of the first balloons launched in Germany was released into the air on the market square in Immenstadt and flew east over the Iller.

Numerous buildings fell victim to the great fires in 1625, 1679 and 1756. However, Immenstadt underwent the most drastic redesign of its old town after the last great city fires of 1805 and 1844, in which almost half of the inner city buildings were destroyed.

19th century

After the flood disaster in 1873

From 1804 to 1805 the city belonged to Austria , with the Treaties of Brno (10th to 16th December 1805) Immenstadt finally became Bavarian. The military occupation of the city by Bavarian troops took place on December 28, 1805, the so-called civil occupation is dated March 10, 1806. In April and May 1809, the Vorarlberg and Tyrolean uprisings under Andreas Hofer against the Bavarian-Napoleonic rule spread over the Upper Allgäu. Several thousand armed farmers gathered in Immenstadt on May 16 to force an annexation to Austria. In a battle near the town of Stein, the rebels fought back their opponents advancing from the direction of Kempten. Nevertheless, the survey in the region around Immenstadt could not develop any mass effectiveness. In August 1809 the popular uprising in the Allgäu finally failed. The motive for the uprising was probably the disappointment with the Bavarian administrative measures, which had created a great potential for resentment.

A step into the new era was the opening of the Kempten-Lindau railway line in 1853. With the construction of the mechanical twine factory in 1855, industry found its way into Immenstadt. The former district court districts of Immenstadt and Sonthofen , which had previously had equal rights , were placed under the administration of the newly founded Sonthofen District Office in the Royal Highest Ordinance on the establishment of the district administrative authorities of February 24, 1862 . This was the first time that Immenstadt's political influence was reduced to the urban area. The sphere of influence of the market town of Sonthofen extended to the areas west of the Iller.

A devastating flood in the city center occurred on July 28, 1873, when, on a very hot afternoon, heavy thunderstorms with downpours and hail fell in the Steigbachtal. The flash flood destroyed 10 buildings and damaged bridges and roads in the city center. 11 people died. From May 1st to May 9th 1877 an escaped crocodile lived in the streams of Immenstadt. In 1881 the first telephone system was put into operation in Immenstadt, and from September 1, 1898 a public telephone network was available.

20th century

Flood in 1999

In 1915, one year after the First World War , Immenstadt became a garrison town . On July 15, three companies of the Bavarian Snowshoe Battalion No. 1 moved in. Immenstadt also joined the Soviet republic proclaimed in Munich and Augsburg in 1919 .

On February 22, 1945, the United States Army Air Forces flew an attack on Immenstadt to prevent rail traffic for a long time. Six people were killed in a total of two bombings within a short period of time, including the power station, an auxiliary building of the train station, the malt house of the imperial brewery and other adjacent buildings. At the end of the war in May 1945, troops of the 1st French Army moved into the city under the command of Major General Jacques-Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque . During the invasion of five members of the were Indian Legion of Wehrmacht of Moroccan colonial soldiers shot and buried later in the town cemetery. The French erected a triumphal arch in the rectory, which Charles de Gaulle personally removed during a parade . After the French troops, troops of the US army followed a little later . Immenstadt then also belonged to the American zone of occupation . From 1948 onwards, local newspapers that had since been discontinued, such as the Allgäuer Anzeigeeblatt, were printed again in Immenstadt with licenses from the occupation authorities.

The post-war period was a quiet time for Immenstadt, only the Whitsun floods in 1999 disturbed the peace. The Iller flooded around 300 years ago. This far exceeded the existing level of protection and led to major damage to residential buildings, businesses, public infrastructure and agriculture. The damage in the Immenstadt area alone amounted to around 15 million euros.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities Akams, Bühl am Alpsee, Diepolz, Eckarts, Rauhenzell and Stein in the Allgäu were incorporated.

Population development

Population development in comparison

Creating an exact population development for Immenstadt suffers from insufficient and incomplete records. The first estimates come from the year 1353 and calculated about 135 inhabitants for what was then Ymmendorff . More precise records, dating from the end of the 16th century, put the population at around 700. The Thirty Years War and the plague of 1628 took their toll on the citizens. In 1638 Immenstadt only had 254 inhabitants, a loss of almost 70 percent compared to 1620.

The city's expansion of the railway network around 1850 and the construction of the mechanical twine factory in 1855 gave the city strong growth spurts. The recruiting of workers from structurally weak areas of Germany and neighboring countries was important. Another point was reached after the end of the Second World War , when bombed-out people and refugees found a new home in Immenstadt. Above all, the settlement of the Kunert works, which are designated at their home site in Varnsdorf, in 1946 brought Immenstadt further and steady growth. In 1960 the mark of 10,000 inhabitants was exceeded for the first time.

Further population growth was achieved in 1972 through the municipal reform , and through the incorporation of six neighboring towns, 14,105 inhabitants were registered at the end of 1972. The last big leap came with the establishment of a branch of the Robert Bosch GmbH and the intensification of rental and owner-occupied housing, which is still the primary goal of the city to attract young families.

Between 1988 and 2018 the city grew from 13,132 to 14,271 by 1,139 inhabitants or 8.7%.

Logo of the city of Immenstadt
Depiction of the coat of arms from 1841 with a beehive
Coat of arms of Immenstadt in the Allgäu
 Blazon : "Split of green and silver, in front an upright, curved silver fish, behind half a rooted green linden at the crack". "

The coat of arms is documented for the first time by the seal of the citizenship of Ymmendorf (Sigillum civitatis Ymmendorff). The half lime tree shown in the back half was taken over from the Lindau city ​​coat of arms, since Immenstadt received city rights from that imperial city in 1360. The fish, shown in the front half, symbolizes the alleged abundance of fish according to local interpretation.

In the 19th century, a beehive was placed on the coat of arms in a heraldically incorrect manner to suggest the origin of the place name Immenstadt from “Immen” (bees). With popular heraldic slogans such as “Immen, Fisch and Linden will find place and place here” or “Immen, Fisch and Linden are to be found here”, attempts were made to interpret the coat of arms in a popular way. The face under the beehive in the depiction from 1841 is described as a genius symbolizing fertility , but also interpreted as the female face of the Roman-Greek goddess of bees and fertility, Mellona .

The city ​​colors of Immenstadt are green and white. The logo of the city of Immenstadt consists of the colors green (lettering "Allgäu" and stylized mountains), black (lettering "Immenstadt"), blue (lettering "Alpsee" and stylized sailors and lake) and red (stylized dots). The stylized mountains stand for the local mountains Mittagberg, Steineberg, Stuiben, the lake stands for the Großer Alpsee and the three red dots stand for the Mittag suspension railway (individual supports are illuminated at night). The logo was designed in the mid-1990s and is used by the city of Immenstadt.

The onion dome characteristic of the Immenstadt church was also erected at that time. A rebuilding and extension of the parish church in 1907/08 in neo-baroque style, which made the church the largest sacred building in the Upper Allgäu , gave the building its present-day appearance. The plans for this came from the Munich architect Hans Schurr , who had already redesigned the west facade of the Capuchin Church of St. Joseph in 1903. The large fresco in the crossing dome with scenes from the life of St. Nicholas was created by Xaver Dietrich (1911/12), further frescoes by Rudolf Lanzinger in 1957.

Historic townhouses

The town hall
  • The town hall (Marienplatz 16) on the south side of Marienplatz was built in 1640; due to its bay window, it was initially a stately building. In 1753 it was acquired by the city and converted into the town hall. From 1753 to 1820 the important Immenstadt screen shows took place on the first floor, to which Emperor Charles V had given permission in 1536, while the so-called " Schrannenhalle " was on the ground floor . During a comprehensive renovation in 1866, the bay was designed in a neo-Gothic style. After this little tower collapsed during a devastating roof fire on the night of December 9th to 10th, 1912, the Kempten architect Leonhard Heydecker restored the original baroque tower . Another renovation took place from 1992 to 1995. Today, the second floor is home to the modernly designed “large conference room” where the Immenstadt city council meets regularly.
  • The old school building (Marienplatz 17) behind the town hall was the first municipal school building after 1811. But after only six months it turned out to be too small. After 1916, the Bayerische Lebensmittelstelle (Bavarian State Office for Forced Management ), temporarily the employment office and later also the premises of the residents' registration office were housed there.
  • The former count's office building (Marienplatz 3) on the east side of Marienplatz was built in 1646/48 by Hugo Graf zu Königsegg-Rothenfels. Until 1804, it was the office and residential building of the chief magistrate of the county of Rothenfels. The office building on the first floor was connected to the gallery of the parish church opposite by a wood-covered corridor. In the course of mediatization , the building fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria, which sold it in 1806 to the wealthy master brewer's widow Antonia Kirchmann. The house has been owned by the city of Immenstadt since 1908, has served as an administration building since 1929 and today houses the mayor's office, among other things.

Built by Montfort-Rothenfels (year above lintel in the entrance area) and expanded into a castle by Georg Freiherr zu Königsegg between 1595 and 1620. For this purpose, some town houses had to be dismantled and placed in front of the eastern city gate. The south wing was built at the end of the 17th century, the west wing in 1746. At the beginning of the seventies, the city palace presented itself with an inner courtyard, which was enclosed on all four sides by buildings. In 1973 the west wing was finally demolished. The former ballroom with its charming stucco work from around 1720 is particularly worth seeing. The city palace is now owned by a private investor.

For a long time it was the only residential building in the city made of stone. A detailed description of the massive structure with four floors and several extensions is available from 1805.

A Königsegger coat of arms is embedded in the wall on the south side.
  • The former Count's brewery , which burned down in 1765 , used to stand on the site of the current Allgäu literary house . In 1774 Christian Moriz zu Königsegg-Rothenfels, a relative of the ruling Count Franz Fidelis zu Königsegg-Rothenfels, who lived temporarily in Immenstadt, built a riding school over the still existing beer cellars. With the end of the county of Königsegg-Rothenfels, the building first came under Austrian and then Bavarian state ownership. In 1807 it was acquired by Franz Anton Höß, who left it to the Immenstadt lay actors as a theater for many years. It was sold to the Kaiser family (Kaiserbräu) in 1895 and was acquired by the city of Immenstadt in 1990.

However, the column was only erected in 1773 at the instigation of Franz Fidelis Graf zu Königsegg-Rothenfels, the grandson of the founder. The enclosure by a fountain, which was planned at that time, was postponed again and again for around 200 years due to lack of money, so that the Marian column has only risen above an octagonal fountain basin since 1988. The four bronze figures around the fountain (shepherd boy - agriculture, carpenter - handicraft, weaver - trade and stocking shaper - industry) symbolize traditional branches of business in the city, while the sculptures attached to the other four corners document the city's bond with nature (reeds and Cattail, sycamore, linden and apple tree).

Rail transport

Railway station and Hotel Bayerischer Hof, 1904

The local train station is the transport hub for southern Oberallgäu. Here the railway to Oberstdorf branches off from the Allgäu Railway . This gives you connections to Lindau , Oberstdorf , Ulm , Augsburg , Munich and Nuremberg .

The alex runs every two hours from Oberstdorf or Lindau to Munich (until December 8, 2007: Allgäu-Express ), which is made up of Eurorunner locomotives or Ex- ÖBB 2043 and modernized compartment and dining cars . In long-distance traffic, Immenstadt is served daily by two pairs of IC trains: IC 2084/2085 'Nebelhorn' Hamburg – Oberstdorf and IC 2012/2013 'Allgäu' ((Leipzig–) Magdeburg–) Hanover – Dortmund – Oberstdorf.

Trains coming from Kempten with the destination Oberstdorf must change direction in Immenstadt.

Railway stations and stops

The train stations and stops in Seifen (Schwab.), Bühl am Alpsee and Ratholz were closed until 1983. In 1973, 24 to 26 trains stopped in these parts of Immenstadt on weekdays. On the northern outskirts of the city near Werdensteiner Moos, a branch track to a peat magazine with a loading station was drawn in the 19th century. In the Immenstadt train station, the track systems have been reduced from twelve to five parallel tracks over the past fifty years . Only one of the 22 buffer blocks has remained. In 1985 the Immenstadt staff of the Deutsche Bundesbahn still had 20 employees, including four gatekeepers and two point attendants. Today, Deutsche Bahn is no longer a notable employer here.

Unrealized railway projects

Around 1853 a transalpine railway through Immenstadt - the Schrofenpass -Bahn - was to be built as an alternative to the then planned railway line over the Lukmanierpass . “A railway was supposed to be built from Immenstadt via Oberstdorf into Lechthal to the Arlberg and then into Finstermünz and into Vintschgau . This would be the most suitable and easiest transition point in the entire Alpine chain ... “Both variants were abandoned in favor of the Gotthard Railway .

In 1865 it was decided to issue shares for a horse-drawn tram between Immenstadt and Sonthofen. This project was not implemented either. Instead, the steam railway was opened on this route in 1873.

In the Bodensee-S-Bahn project, which was created in 2004, the Immenstadt station forms the north-eastern end of the B10 S-Bahn line: St. Gallen- Immenstadt.

Immenstadt as the namesake for two locomotives, a train and a model railroad layout

1851 was the year of construction of the “Immenstadt”, a class B II locomotive from the manufacturer JAMaffei (Munich), retired in 1881. “The Immenstadt” runs all the trains of a branch, which are called mixed passenger and freight trains. ”In 1882 Another locomotive was built, this time of the type D VI , also from Maffei and the name "Immenstadt" with the factory number 1298. The branch line tender locomotive was decommissioned by the Deutsche Reichsbahn DRG on June 10, 1938 with the road number 98.7512. A tilting technology local railcar ( 612 074-5 ) of the Allgäu-Franken-Express is adorned with the coat of arms and the name of the city of Immenstadt. The system kit 61900 from Noch also bears the name “Immenstadt”.

Train accidents in the urban area

Three train accidents are known in Immenstadt. On July 16, 1854, a passenger train derailed at the Alpsee. One stoker died, the engine driver and another stoker were critically injured, and passengers were not harmed. On July 1, 1975, an auxiliary locomotive was again traveling at excessive speed on the Alpsee and crashed into the stopped train, which it was supposed to be helping. There were 28 injured. On February 18, 1999, wagons of the Intercity Oberstdorf-Dortmund jumped off the tracks near the hospital. An oncoming train could not brake in time. Two women died and 34 other people were injured.
