history
Altenbeuren was mentioned in a document as early as 783 or 786 when it was donated to the St. Gallen monastery . Beuren was first mentioned in 1163 when a servant was handed over to the Reichenau monastery . The name "Beuren" is probably derived from the old German cedo bure , which means something like the house . Some people are also mentioned with reference to the name of the place: 1189 a Heinricus von Bürron, 1196 Ortolf von Altenbeuren, who was a servant of the Reichenau monastery. The name "Trillenbühl" is derived from the old German Trulle for dog and Bühl for slope and can be traced back to an old legend, which is also the subject of the Tryllenbühler fools' guild.
Up until the year 1000 there was a free market cooperative in the Beurener localities, in which everyone was obliged to help the other. During the rule of the Franconian counts over the place, many free peasants became tenants because they bought themselves free from being sent to military service.
The rule over the place changed several times in the course of history. Around the year 1000 Beuren was under the rule of the Counts of Pfullendorf , from 1083 the Heiligenberg counts , from 1258 the Werdenbergs and from 1468 their successors, the Fürstenbergs . In 1313 the Knights of Beuren sold their property to the Salem Monastery and moved to Pfullendorf. In addition to the Salem Monastery, the Überlingen Hospital , the Cathedral Chapter and the Konstanz Hospital also owned land in Beuren.
The district court in Beuren has met since 1431, initially in a public square as required, and since 1500 in the district courtroom every two weeks. Beuren had nine free farmers around 1580, all others were unfree.
During the Thirty Years' War as part of the siege of the Free Imperial City of Überlingen from 1634 to 1636, the place was sacked by Swedish troops and almost completely destroyed. Only the command of the occupation under General Horn, known today as the Schwedenhaus (early 16th century), was spared. In 1637 Beuren was incorporated into the imperial county of Heiligenberg.
On January 1, 1975, Beuren was incorporated into Salem.
