Districts

	Bankholzen was first mentioned in a document in 1050. In the middle of the 15th century it came under the rule of Bohlingen and from then on shared their fate. In the local area of ​​Bankholzen there are two unexplained castle places , Burg Rusbühl and Burg Schlossbühl .
	Iznang was first mentioned in a document as Utzenhofen in 13300 . While the western half of the village belonged to the Bohlingen rulership and thus went to the Constance Monastery as early as 1497 , the eastern half belonged to the Höri bailiwick , which was only acquired by the Constance bishops in 1535. The district was already a settlement area in the Neolithic Age . In February 2013, in the course of a building project, remnants of the Horgen cultural layer were found directly on the lake shore . In contrast to the previous lakeside settlements, the settlement was in an unusually high topographical location up to a maximum of 396  m above sea level. NHN .
	Moos belonged to the Bohlingen rule , with which it went to the diocese of Constance in 1497 . When this lost its secular powers in the course of secularization and mediatization due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the area - and with it Moos - fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1803 .
	Weiler used to belong to the Vogtei Höri, with which it came to the Diocese of Constance in 1535. Like all of its secular territory, the diocese had to cede Weiler in 1803, so that the place fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden . In the local area of ​​Weiler there is an unexplained castle site, Burg Weiler .
	Bettnang belonged to the Bohlingen rule , whose historical fate it shared. As early as 1934 the village was incorporated into Weiler.

Grünenberg Castle and Monastery

→ Main article : Grünenberg Monastery

The castle, later the Grünenberg monastery, was on a wooded hill in a side valley on the road from Weiler to Gaienhofen. A hermit hermitage near Grünenberg Castle is first mentioned in 1282. In the middle of the 14th century a Franciscan - Terziarinnenkloster was built . Although largely rebuilt after a fire in 1660, economic problems arose in the 18th century, which finally led to drastic measures from around 1785. This culminated in the abolition of the monastery in 1808. A wayside cross at the site of the monastery has been a reminder of the former Grünenberg monastery since 1895.

Population development since the 19th century

Population development of Moos (on Lake Constance)

History of the unified church

With effect from October 1, 1974, the municipalities of Bankholzen, Iznang, Moos and Weiler merged on June 18, 1974, following a corresponding resolution by the four municipal councils. On December 8, 1974, the first joint mayor, Alois Keller, was elected; on April 20, 1975, the first local and municipal council elections followed. During the first few years the co-determination of the districts was secured by a local council constitution , which was however dissolved at the end of the first electoral term because it was considered unnecessary.

The first joint investments were made to complete the sewer system, to secure the water supply and to improve traffic conditions. Further significant investments were made later in the construction of the Mooswald sports complex, which was opened to the public on June 25 and 26, 1988, and in the construction of the community center and the reconstruction of the town hall, which opened on August 29 and 30, 1992. Since then, there has been a constant improvement in the infrastructure, such as the expansion of the primary school in Weiler, the establishment of a consumer and beverage market or the conversion of the Bankholzer Torkel into an event location.
