history

Until the 19th century

In 1054 Boos was first mentioned in a document with noble von Boos . These were vassals of the Kempten monastery . 1176 a vassal of the Upper Swabian monastery Ottobeuren is mentioned. With Rudolph von Boos, the nobles of Boos must have died out. In the 16th century, the rule of Boos changed from the Ottobeuren monastery to the Fuggers . A branch of the Jakob Fugger line has from then on owned this rule with its own senior office. In 1632 the Swedes murdered the pastor during the Thirty Years' War . As a result of the war, Boos died out except for one farm that was still being used. In 1777 the last Fugger of the Booser line died, Boos then switched to the Fugger line to Babenhausen .

In the coat of arms of the municipality, the rulership rights of the prince monastery are expressed by the shield division red - blue; the golden lily is borrowed from the Fugger coat of arms.
