history

Until 1806 Diepolz was a parish village in the county of Königsegg-Rothenfels . After joining Bavaria, Diepolz belonged to the Immenstadt district court , from 1862 to the district office and from 1939 to the district of Sonthofen .

The political community Diepolz with the localities, Diepolz, Knottenried, Freundpolz and Reute became a district of the city of Immenstadt on January 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform.

The Oberstixner wasteland , located between Knottenrieder Höhe and the Missen Valley, belonged to Diepolz until 1948, and became part of the Missen community .

Parishes of Diepolz and Knottenried

The parish of Knottenried was first mentioned in 1143 in a papal document of the Weingarten monastery, the parish of Diepolz in 1275 in the Liber decimationis , the tithe book of the diocese of Constance.

The right to occupy the parish Diepolz was a fief of the Kempten monastery . In the beginning, the parish of Knottenried had to deliver the taxes and bailiff's interest to the Weingarten monastery.

After an eventful history, both parishes have been vicarious since December 1960 (Diepolz) and January 1961 (Knottenried) by the pastor from Missen. Since September 1998, both parishes - like Missen himself - have been looked after by the pastor of the Stein parish community.
