history

The area around Burgweiler was already settled in prehistoric times. Around 1900 traces of Roman settlement ( Villa rustica ) and a stretch of Roman road were found near Mettenbuch and Burgweiler , after a nerotic coin was found in the 1840s . The traces of the settlement were excavated with the help of Prince von Fürstenberg and described by the Fürstenberg archivist Georg Tumbülle. Furthermore, traces of Alemannic settlement were found near Burgweilen .

Waldbeuren was first mentioned in a document in 1209/10 in the files of the Salem monastery . An Ulricius von Waldbeuren witnessed a legal act. It is estimated that the place has existed for much longer, since the 7th or 8th century, which can be assumed based on the name.

In 1272 Burgweiler, an old property of the Lords of Gundelfingen , and goods near Ostrach, Ochsenbach and Waldbeuern were sold to the Salem monastery . The parish was incorporated into Salem in 1324 . In 1637 Burgweiler, Dichtenhausen and Ochsenbach were sold to the Fürstenberg county of Heiligenberg . The Burgweiler office included Burgweiler with Rothenbühl, Dichtenhausen, Hahnennest, Mettenbuch, Ochsenbach with Freudenberg, Ulzhausen and Zoznegg with Sturmberg.

The office came to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806 and from 1936 belonged to the Überlingen district .

In 1924, the then independent community of Waldbeuren was voluntarily incorporated into Burgweiler.

During the Second World War , passenger trains were bombed and shot at in Burgweiler.

As early as January 1, 1969, the former Baden exclave Dichtenhausen was reunited from Burgweiler to Ostrach (Sigmaringen district). In the course of the district reform of January 1, 1973 , Burgweiler came to the Sigmaringen district.

As part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , Ostrach, Burgweiler (with Hahnennest, Mettenbuch, Ochsenbach, Oberochsenbach, Zoznegg, Waldbeuren, Ulzhausen, Egelreute) and Kalkreute merged to form the new municipality of Ostrach on January 1, 1975.

Parish Church of St. Blasius in Burgweiler
Mauritius Chapel in Waldbeuren
  • Around 500 meters east of Burgweiler, a castle from the middle of the 11th century stood on an elevation, now known as the Burgweiler Castle . Apart from the tower hill and the filled-in trenches, nothing reminds of the former castle complex. Its builders were the nobles of Wilare (hamlet). Later owners were the barons of Gundelfingen. The Burgweiler Music Association has been maintaining and using the castle hill since 1969. The so-called Castle Festival traditionally takes place there once a year .
  • The Catholic parish church of St. Blaise was rebuilt in 1883. The Romanesque crypt from the 10th century was included in the construction. The 2 × 3 ridge vaults rest on short, slightly tapered cube pillars with heavy supported capitals. The tower, also Romanesque, is square in shape and has loopholes. It served as a fortification and defense tower. The interior of the parish church now has three aisles.
  • The club barn is a barn built in 1874 which was inaugurated in 2011 as a meeting place for young and old.
