Ebersbach

Ebersbach parish church

Ebersbach was first mentioned in a document in 1269 when Ulrich von Gundelfingen sold the place and the church patronage to the nearby Altshausen of the Teutonic Order . As a result, the Coming bought even more land in the immediate vicinity. The Landkomtur der Kommende sat in Lichtenfeld , and a pleasure house was built in the Tiergarten plot (converted into a courtyard in 1699) and an animal enclosure was set up (closed in 1699).

In the course of secularization , Ebersbach came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 . In 1825 the political community Ebersbach was founded. In the course of the 19th century, the places Arnetsreute, Lichtenfeld and Tiergarten, which had previously belonged to Altshausen, were incorporated; in exchange, Stuben and Ober-Atzenberg were added to Altshausen and Renhardsweiler, respectively.

Musbach

Chapel in Musbach

Musbach was first mentioned in 1286 when the Kommende Altshausen sold farms. In Musbach, later mainly the Buchau Abbey and the Baindt Monastery owned land, which they gradually sold to the Count of Königsegg until 1788 . With the mediatization , the place came to the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century . On July 27, 1842, Musbach, which until then had belonged to the Aulendorf residence in Koenigsegg , became an independent municipality. Also in 1842 it came from the Württemberg Oberamt Waldsee to Oberamt Saulgau .

Geigelbach

In 1231 there was the Cistercian convent Boos in the parish village of Boos (then spelled Bohoz , Boz or Boss ) , whose convent was moved to the newly founded Baindt Monastery in 1240. In 1374 the parish of Boos was incorporated into the monastery. Later a "Geigelbach Office" of the Upper Austrian Bailiwick of Swabia is documented, which consisted of Geigelbach, Boos, Ingenhard and the communities Altshausen and Ebisweiler. In 1796 the place was sacked by French troops. In 1806 the Geigelbach office became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg when it was mediatized . Under the name of the former office - Geigelbach - a political municipality was formed, the largest of which was the parish village of Boos. This community belonged to the Saulgau district , later the Saulgau district .

History of the whole congregation

On January 1, 1967, the new community Musbach was formed by the union of the communities Musbach and Geigelbach. The municipality of Ebersbach-Musbach was created on September 1, 1971 through the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Ebersbach and Musbach.

The community has been a member of the Altshausen community administration association with its seat in Altshausen since January 1, 1972 .

With the dissolution of the Saulgau district , Ebersbach-Musbach became part of the Ravensburg district on January 1, 1973.
