history
Until the beginning of the 19th century, the various villages of today's Deggenhausertal municipality belonged to the Landgraviate of Heiligenberg , to the cathedral chapter of Constance and to the Salem monastery . With the secularization and mediatization they fell to Baden .
- Deggenhausen
After the Lords of Deggenhausen died out, their heirs sold the village to the Bishop of Konstanz , who pledged it with Obersiggingen to the County of Heiligenberg in 1483 and sold it to the County of Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg in 1779 . After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss Deggenhausen went to Baden in 1806, which initially assigned it to the Meersburg District Office in 1813 and later to the Heiligenberg District Office . From 1849 it belonged to the Pfullendorf district office and finally from 1857 to the Überlingen district office , which was added to the Überlingen district in 1938. Since 1952 it has belonged to the newly founded state of Baden-Württemberg .
- Homberg
Homberg was first mentioned in a document in 1191. It has always belonged to the Counts of Heiligenberg. In 1806 it came to Baden.
Roggenbeuren
Roggenbeuren was first mentioned in a document as early as 860. Prehistoric burial mounds indicate an even earlier settlement. Since the 9th century it has belonged to the St. Gallen monastery . Through the knight Konrad von Schmalegg , Roggenbeuren came to the Konstanz cathedral chapter in 1280. After secularization , the place came to Baden in 1803.
Untersiggingen
Siggingen (Ober- or Untersiggingen ) was first mentioned in a document as early as 772 . Here, too, prehistoric burial mounds testify to an even older settlement. In 1293 the Salem monastery bought large parts of the community. Via the Überlingen hospital , the town came to the city of Überlingen, which Untersiggingen pledged to the county of Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg in 1779. With the rest of the property it came to Baden in 1806.
- Urnau
Urnau was first mentioned in a document in 1094 when it was sold to the All Saints Monastery in Schaffhausen . In the 13th century it came to the Knights of Schmalegg , who sold it to the Salem Monastery in 1303. With the secularization, the entire monastery property and with it Urnau came to Baden in 1803.
- Wittenhofen
Wittenhofen was first mentioned in a document in 1134. The rule was exercised by the Counts of Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg until it came to Baden in 1806.
Incorporations
Until the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1972, Deggenhausen, Homberg, Roggenbeuren, Untersiggingen, Urnau and Wittenhofen were independent municipalities. With effect from January 1, 1972, these were combined with a dozen hamlets and numerous farmsteads to form the municipality of Deggenhausertal. The new municipality briefly belonged to the Überlingen district - like all the communities from which it was formed before - before it became part of the new Lake Constance district through the district reform in 1973 . The town halls of the old parishes were closed with the community reform. The former mayor of Wittenhofen, Alfons Schmiedmeister, became the first mayor. In 1976 so-called dwarf schools with only one or two classes were also closed. The suburb of Wittenhofen became the central control point of the new community: the community center became the town hall, and the primary and secondary school is also located in Wittenhofen. In 1977, Ellenfurt, until then a district of Heiligenberg , was assigned to the village of Deggenhausen.

Integrated in the Lake Constance district, the community has seen a surge in development, especially in the last 20 years, which can be seen in the 25 percent increase in the number of inhabitants to 4298 (as of December 31, 2010).
