history

Efrizweiler was first mentioned in a document on April 8, 1166 on the occasion of a testimony in a legal transaction between the church of Constance and the Salem monastery by the court lord Bertoldus de Wilare (Berthold von Weiler). Efrizweiler got his name in 1259 through his judge Efrid von Wilare . The lower nobility enfeoffed with the Efrizweiler rule belonged to the knighthood of the canton Allgäu and called themselves von Wilare .

At the highest point of the settlement there was a fortified residential tower in the Middle Ages, which was later extended and called a castle, which was supposedly once surrounded by a moat; today it is used as the “Castle of the Arts” hotel.

In the 15th century the two knightly towns of Efrizweiler and Kluftern belonged to the patrician family Bessrer zu Ravensburg , in the 16th century to the Landauers, then until 1637 to the Lords of Ratzenried (descendants of the Humpis , an ennobled merchant family from Ravensburg). In 1672 the rule was sold to the house of Fürstenberg- Heiligenberg and pledged to the bishopric of Konstanz . In 1719 the place came to the Salem Monastery , in 1777 again to Constance and in 1797 back to the Prince of Fürstenberg .

After the mediatization in 1803 and the reorganization by Napoleon in 1806, the place fell to Baden and, together with Kluftern, forms a community in the district office of Meersburg , in 1824 in the Fürstenberg district of Heiligenberg, again in the district of Meersburg in 1842 and again in the district of Überlingen in 1857 , from which the district of Überlingen emerged in 1939 . In 1861 the neighboring village of Lipbach (municipality of Riedheim ) was incorporated into Kluftern at its request.

On April 1, 1972, the municipality of Kluftern with the suburb of Efrizweiler was incorporated into Friedrichshafen.
