history

Until the church is planted

Since the Middle Ages, the place has belonged to the margraviate of Burgau, which belongs to Austria . Through pledges it came into the hands of Swabian noble families such as the barons of Hohenberg and the barons of Rehlingen. Since the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg in 1805, the place has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . The complete history of Bubesheim, some of which goes back to the Stone Age, can be read in the local chronicle ( see also: literature ). In 1900 electricity came to the town. 23 Bubesheim citizens lost their lives in the First World War. The construction of the motorway and airfield 1936–1938 devoured about 1/6 of the corridor. 60 Bubesheimers lost their lives in World War II; after 1945 the population grew by around 30% due to displaced persons from the east.

Population development

• 1970: 0819 inhabitants
• 1987: 1149 inhabitants
• 1991: 1254 inhabitants
• 1995: 1407 inhabitants
• 2000: 1406 inhabitants
• 2005: 1732 inhabitants
• 2010: 1507 inhabitants
• 2015: 1575 inhabitants

With the numbers mentioned, it should be noted that a large number of harvest workers are regularly in the village during the summer months. Therefore, the number of inhabitants can increase sharply in the short term, depending on the survey period. This explains, for example, the unusually strong increase in 2005.

Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 1,190 to 1,557 by 367 inhabitants or by 30.8%.

Culture and sights

Church of the Birth of Mary

Many of the currently 20 clubs organize festivals and other activities throughout the year, such as theater performances or children's programs during the school holidays. The best known are the annual garden party of the Bubesheim volunteer fire brigade and the performances of the two Bubesheim theater associations.

Many archaeological monuments exist in the forests and fields, mainly south of Bubesheim. In addition to a few groups of burial mounds, some from the Hallstein Age, prehistoric and Roman settlement remains such as coins, bricks and ceramic parts were found throughout the municipality. In addition, there are unfortunately no longer visible remains of a Roman country estate ( Villa rustica ) on the Bubesheimer and Kötzer hallways. The most important cultural and historical buildings in the village are the Church of the Birth of Mary and the neighboring rectory . Incidentally, the place is characterized by numerous farmhouses of the typical Upper Swabian style of the region , of which only a few are in their original historical condition and are accordingly listed.

Infrastructure and economy

BAB 8 between Bubesheim and Günzburg

Economy including agriculture and forestry

Bubesheim has always been characterized by agriculture , but the 440 hectares of arable land and 116 hectares of forest area (as of 2012) in the municipality are increasingly being managed only by individual farms. While almost every local family had a farm until the beginning of the 20th century , in 2010 there were only 13 farms with the focus on market crops . The formerly large number of dairy cattle was only 83 cattle in 2007, and the last dairy farm stopped working in 2016 . The largest employer today is the manufacturing industry with 281 out of a total of 359 jobs in the town. The construction of Legoland in the immediate vicinity also promoted tourism, in 2006 around 3000 overnight stays were counted. In 2012 there were also 52 employees subject to social security contributions at the place of work in the trade and transport sector. There were a total of 594 employees at the place of residence subject to social security contributions. As part of the conversion of the former Leipheim airfield into an intermunicipal industrial area ( Areal Pro ), numerous new commercial and industrial companies are currently being set up in the immediate vicinity of the village.

The largest local companies include:

• Kögl vehicle and factory equipment
• Tripus switching electronics
• L + N recycling
• Oberauer metal construction
• Luible Spedition (on the Areal Pro)
• Britax Römer (on the Areal Pro)

traffic

The A 8 , which has been expanded to six lanes since 2003, runs like a bolt on the southern edge of the village in a west-east direction. In the center, the St 2020 from Holzgünz to Günzburg and the GZ 4 from Waldstetten to Riedheim meet. In the north of the village, the GZ 18 branches off the road to Günzburg in the direction of Denzingen . A short stretch of the Mittelschwabenbahn from Günzburg to Mindelheim is also in the municipality. In addition to the high traffic load from the start due to the St 2020, which is sometimes used as a toll-free abbreviation between the A 7 and the A 8 due to heavy traffic , there is also the fact that the required diversion of the A 8 runs across the municipality. The supra- local connection to the regional public transport is not very pronounced, but since 2012 Bubesheim has been part of the state-sponsored model project "FLEXIBUS Landkreis Günzburg", which represents a kind of on- call bus at the district level.

To the west and north-west of Bubesheim is the former Leipheim airfield . Until the end of military use by the Bundeswehr in 2008, it had a significant impact on the development of the village. A special purpose association has taken over the property from the federal government under the title “Areal Pro”. The city of Leipheim, the city of Günzburg, the municipality of Bubesheim and the district of Günzburg are involved in the association. As part of the conversion into an intermunicipal industrial park and the consequent increase in heavy goods vehicle and individual traffic, a separate junction to the A 8 in the west of Bubesheim and a highway parallel to the Günzburg junction have been under discussion for a long time.
