Location of Burgmagerbein in Bissingen

Burgmagerbein is a small agricultural district of the market Bissingen in the district of Dillingen on the Danube on the border with the district of Donau-Ries . Bissingen is located in the administrative region of Swabia in Bavaria.

history

The village of Burgmagerbein is 3.5 km north-west of Bissingen on the left-hand side of the valley in the Kesseltal and on the state road 2221 leading from the Danube valley into the Ries . The oldest archaeological finds from the area come from Bronze Age burial mounds, which also contained Hallstatt and Celtic reburials.

The name Skinny Leg was first mentioned in a document in 1139. It is difficult to explain the name of the place; it may indicate a pre-Christian, pagan-Germanic place of worship.

In the Kesseltal there are three places with the name Skinny Leg, of which Untermagerbein district of Donau-Ries is likely the oldest and Obermagerbein the youngest.

The name Burgmagerbein appeared for the first time in 1365 and, through its distinctive word, refers to the castle of the Lords of Skinny Legs mentioned in a document from the 12th century to 1365; There are no remains of the castle, which was sold to the Lords of Stain ( Diemantstein ) by an Ott Büffel von Magerbein in 1366 .

There was formerly a Martha chapel in Burgmagerbein. Today's village chapel is of a younger age.

Reimertshof, located around 1.5 km northeast of Burgmagerbein on the Jura plateau, was first named in 1240 as "Rumoldeshoven". The name means something like to the courts of a Rumold. Like Burgmagerbein, the Einödhof originally belonged to the Untermagerbein parish, but was re-parish to Mönchsdeggingen in 1557 and to Stillnau in 1851.

The Leitenhof is also one kilometer east-northeast of Burgmagerbein on the Jura heights. It was first mentioned in 1584 as "Leitten", which means something like (settlement on a) mountain slope. The farm had already been sold by then and was not rebuilt until 1706.

The Herhof, which is only entered on a fairly accurate map of the county of Oettingen from 1716, has also disappeared in the same area . The name is probably to be interpreted as a farm on a military road or on a military road, which often referred to older traffic routes. Nothing is known about its history.

Probably located in the Kesseltal , another place near Unter- or Burgmagerbein, Isenbrechtshofen, which means something like 'to the farms of an Isenbrecht'. When the place name was only mentioned in 1365, the place had already disappeared.

On July 1, 1971, Burgmagerbein was incorporated into the Bissingen market .
