history

Until the church is planted

The area we see today was probably already settled in Roman times, as evidenced by excavations and grave finds. Several Roman brickworks were excavated in the municipality.

"Durniwanc" was first mentioned in a document in 919. At that time the place was in the Duchy of Swabia . Dirlewang, which was raised to the market before 1400, belonged to the rule of Mindelheim of the Electorate of Bavaria from 1617 , and Dirlewang has been a political municipality since the municipal edict of 1818 .

Incorporations

In the course of the regional reform , the communities of Helchenried and Altensteig joined on April 1, 1972 and July 1, 1972, respectively.

City council and mayor

After the local elections on March 15, 2020 , the list “Together for Dirlewang” received 78.2% of the votes and eleven seats in the local council; the “Independent Citizens' Community Altensteig” accounted for 21.8% and three mandates. The distribution of seats is unchanged from the 2014 to 2020 term of office.

Alois Mayer has been the first mayor since May 1, 2008 (“Together for Dirlewang” list); he was elected for a further six years on March 15, 2020 with 89.6% of the vote.

Community finances

In 2012, the municipal tax revenue was € 1.269 million, of which € 294,000 was trade tax (net).

coat of arms

Blazon : "In red between two silver tin towers, the bases of which are made of silver and blue blocks, a closed golden gate with an entrance gate in a silver wall."

The place already had market rights before 1400, but it was not until 1725 that it was given its own coat of arms as a seal by Elector Max Emanuel II of Bavaria . The content of the historical coat of arms of the market is difficult to interpret. The red field color is identical to the main color of the coat of arms of the former prince monastery of Kempten, which Dirlewang held as a fief for several centuries until it was sold to Hans Fugger in 1587. The gate with small entrance doors between two towers gave rise to a naive and certainly inaccurate interpretation of the coat of arms for the place name (Dirle = Türlewang = for open). Much more likely, however, the coat of arms should highlight the special rights of the market at the time, such as the high level of jurisdiction, freedom from compulsory service and market law, also under Bavarian law (colors white-blue).

flag

The flag was approved by the government of Swabia on August 30, 1990.

The flag is striped yellow and blue with the municipal coat of arms.

Freising's Theodor Goerge was responsible for designing the community flag.

Roßkopf near Dirlewang

In May 2011, Mayor Alois Mayer announced that there were plans for a pumped storage power plant near Dirlewang. The Dirlewang location was chosen for several reasons:

• regular floods, which are held back by a newly built dam
• Nearby Roßkopf, a 700 meter high mountain on which the reservoir is to be built
• Passing power line with transformer station, so no new line would be necessary

The grid is also loaded with 6.18 megawatts, which means electricity for 20,000 people that can be stored for six hours.
