history

Ebratshofen is first mentioned in a document in the 13th century under the name Egebreshoven as the property of the Isny Benedictine monastery . The parish was founded by the local knights of Hohenegg and from then on the place belonged to the Hohenegg court, which was part of the Bregenz rule . From 1275 to 1353 the place was the seat of the deanery of the diocese of Constance . The Church of St. Elisabeth was also built at this time. The Hohenegg court consisted of the former Hohenegg lordship, which was a fiefdom of the Kempten Abbey and was united in 1359 with the then Montfort County of Bregenz. In 1451 the Hoheneggian area of ​​Montfort came to Austria. In contrast to the other areas of the Austrian rule of Bregenz (also called "Herrschaft Bregenz-Hohenegg"), the Hohenegg court always retained a certain special status. At the beginning of the 19th century the territories became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria and with the municipal edict of 1818 the municipality of Ebratshofen was established. In 1972, the municipality of Ebratshofen was incorporated into the municipality of Grünenbach through the regional reform in Bavaria .
