Around 1100 the construction of a church on the Gloeckelsberg (198 m) started, which was the parish church for the surrounding villages.
- French-German meeting
In 2001 the heads of state and government of France and Germany and their foreign ministers met for the first time in Blaesheim for an informal discussion. Since then, they have been discussing current issues of European and international politics every six to eight weeks as part of the “Blaesheim Process”, which is named hereafter.
The forerunner of the Blaesheim trial was a meeting of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and Helmut Schmidt on July 19, 1977 together with the foreign ministers in the Hotel Au Boeuf in Blaesheim. In his laudation on Helmut Schmidt's 90th birthday in the weekly newspaper Die Zeit , Giscard d'Estaing remarked: “This was the first time that a German Chancellor and a French President met almost privately in the province that had so often been torn apart.
