history

Benkhofen is mentioned in 1599 as a " Sölde zu Benken" belonging to the rule of Stein . After its division, Binkenhofen and the surrounding towns came to the Kempten Monastery under Prince Abbot Engelbert von Syrgenstein in 1749 , and it remained in the possession and jurisdiction of this monastery until the secularization of 1803.

Until May 1, 1978, Binkenhofen belonged to the previously independent municipality of Bayersried in the former district of Marktoberdorf . Bayersried was incorporated into Eggenthal as part of the regional reform.

In 2013, at the request of the residents, the district office of Benkhofen renamed the place after the name Binkenhofen , which has always been used by the residents .
