history

In the Bergheim district, Karl Eduard Paulus marked a Roman road that, coming from Meersburg , led via Ittendorf and Stadel on via Bavendorf to Ravensburg . Bergheim, however, is probably only a foundation of the settlement expansion around 1000.

The place first appeared in documents in 1333 as Berchein and 1353 as Berghain . On April 10, 1357 knight Konrad von Homberg confessed that he had received the bailiwick over the Hof zu Bergheim of the Pfäfers monastery with the right to fief as they would have held the brothers Georg and Konrad von Markdorf. Before 1483 Bergheim was at the Bailiwick of Markdorf. In 1577, the residents of Markdorf, Möggenweiler and Bergheim were contractually obliged by the Bishop of Constance to maintain the Markdorf– Ravensburg road “beyond the customs house to the junction to Teuringen and Hepbach ”. To compensate for the road construction burden, they were exempted from road tolls.

The Bailiwick of Markdorf of the Bishopric of Constance was merged in the 18th century with the old Constance property of the lordship of Raderach to form Obervogtei Markdorf.

Bergheim was later removed from the high and low jurisdiction of the Counts of Heiligenberg and completely subordinated to the episcopal and municipal jurisdiction of Markdorf.

In the course of the mediatization , the hamlet of Bergheim was incorporated into Markdorf and administered by the Baden Obervogteiamt Markdorf (created in 1803 from the offices of Meersburg and Ittendorf). There was a highly esteemed chairman who was named Ammann.

During the Second World War , three Polish slave laborers were buried in the Bergheim cemetery between 1942 and 1943.

religion

The local history is closely linked to that of the Bergheim monastery . The church Sankt Jodokus was mentioned in a document in 1353 as a branch of Oberteuringen . Since 1456 (according to another statement 1406) there was a sister collection next to the church. In 1486 they submitted to the Franciscan Rule. During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) the monastery and parish church were burned down by Swedish soldiers in 1634. The sisters were forced to flee several times during this time. Between 1653 and 1655 the Bergheim sisters had their monastery rebuilt. In 1660 its own parish was established. After Capuchins were called to Markdorf in 1655, the women joined the reform of the Capuchins in 1687, probably also because of the better spiritual support. In 1689 the foundation stone for a new monastery was laid on a small hill near the town of Markdorf, where the now Capuchin Terziarinnen finally moved in 1692. The last remains of the monastery building in Bergheim burned down in 1928. Today the Roman Catholic parish of St. Jodokus Bergheim is part of the Markdorf pastoral care unit.
