history
The village of Bischwind first appeared as "Biscofes-Winiden". The settlement probably goes back to a Slavic foundation, the so-called Wends first inhabited the village. They were subordinate to the bishop and were therefore called "turning the bishop". Originally there was a castle on the site of today's church, which was inhabited by the ministerials of the Lords of Bischofswinden. Under Emperor Heinrich VI. was Sigelohus d. J. († 1195) von Bischofswinden Chancellor.
In 1762 Bischwind was hit by a cattle disease. In the course of this catastrophe, the village population accepted St. Wendelin as their patron. In 1806 the population suffered from the French. During the coalition wars, Napoleonic horsemen were billeted in the village, the population protested and violent clashes broke out. Today Bischwind is a part of the community Dingolshausen.
