history
Baitenhausen was formerly called Bethenhausen, then Baydenhausen. In 1169 priest Heinrich von Bettinhusen was mentioned. In 1506 rights and duties were established for the place. On August 21, 1641, Baitenhausen was sacked by the Hohentwielers during the Swedish War. In 1703 the French requisitioned horses on the march and levied a contribution. In 1802 the village fell to Baden . In the middle of the 19th century Baitenhausen had 10 citizens and 76 residents. The branches of business were agriculture, animal husbandry and forest management.
On February 1, 1972, the Baitenhausen community was incorporated into the city of Meersburg. When Baitenhausen still belonged to the Überlingen district at that time, the population of Baitenhausen was 174 in 1961 and 157 in 1970.

Transport and infrastructure
traffic
A speedometer has been installed in the main street of Baitenhausen since 2014, but it has not yet been installed. For several years now, citizens have been calling for a speed limit of 30 km / h. Due to the legal situation, this is only possible through the greatest possible exceptions, which is not the case in Baitenhausen.
Highways
Baitenhausen is on the Meersburg - Riedetsweiler - Ahausen - Bermatingen - Markdorf road. From Baitenhausen there are also smaller connecting roads to Daisendorf, Schiggendorf and Grasbeuren.
Local politics
Local council
A local council is elected in the village of Baitenhausen. This consists of six local councils and a local councilor. Active and passive voting for the local council can only be who is resident in the locality with their main residence. The local council is elected every five years.
Nature of the spurious choice of part of town
In the main statute it has been determined that in municipal elections the electoral area of the city of Meersburg is divided into 2 residential districts. Regardless of the overall result, the guaranteed seat will be granted to the residential district of Baitenhausen after the election. This ensures that spatially smaller parts of the municipality are adequately represented in the municipal council.
