history

Binzenried was first mentioned in 1347 as the foundation of a daily mass by Johannes Unräin von Ratzenried. In 1526 the Memmingen contract was co-signed by "Hanns Routh zu Bitzenried, Bartlome Gropper von Bintzenriedt". In 1819 the hamlet consisted of three properties with 24 residents. Binzenried was part of Leuba's main team at this time . A statistic from 1900 named 5 properties with 31 residents. In 1954 there were 50 people living in Binzenried.

Surroundings

Southwest of Binzenried there used to be the dam of a penal carp pond. Until 1814 the gallows of the Kempten prince monastery stood in the vicinity. In 1488 the people of the imperial city of Kempten overturned the gallows, but then had to put it back up. For an annual interest they were allowed to use it for their executions. From 1691 it belonged to the imperial city until it was renewed for the last time in 1763 and auctioned off and demolished in 1814 for six guilders.

On December 17, 1742, the hanging of the "Federmichel", a notorious arch prankster and habit thief, caused a great crowd. The field names Vorderer and Hinterer Galgenacker, Galgenholz, Galgenwiesle and Weide am Galgenberg are reminiscent of the gallows.
