geography

Geographical location

history

First mentioned in a document in 1262 as Burun (Anselm von Burun), the village is of earlier origin. Roman coins were found in the “Bürgle” area . The first settlement is likely to have taken place around 900 AD. In 1476 a local nobility of Beuren is mentioned. Beuren was in the county of Sigmaringen . In 1504 Count Hugo and Christoph zu Werdenweg signed a contract with the Heiligkreuztal Monastery and the Quantum Hospital because of the lower jurisdiction. From 1590 Beuren was wholly owned by the monastery.

After the dissolution of the Heiligkreuztal Monastery, a state in Upper Austria , in 1803 Beuren was part of the Heiligkreuztal Upper Office . This went hand in hand with the fact that the Dollhof came to the municipality of Beuren. In 1807 the Oberamt Heiligkreuztal opened in the Württemberg Oberamt Riedlingen . In 1856 the Dollhof was changed from Beuren to the political municipality Heiligkreuztal.

In 1938 the Oberamt Riedlingen was dissolved and the independent municipality was incorporated into the district of Ehingen . In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg, Beuren was incorporated into Mengen on January 1, 1975.
