history

Until the church is planted

Eggenthal is likely to be identical to the Roman station Navoa or Nawe. Both place names - Eggenthal and Nawe - appear next to each other in the Middle Ages. The place is on the Roman road Augsburg-Kempten. Presumably the Celts settled here before the Romans. The lords of Eggenthal are documented between 1130 and 1457. Around 1300 Bishop Wolfhart von Augsburg bought Eggenthal Castle for his church there. In 1316 it was owned by the Knights of Rohrbach as a Kemptic fiefdom, and in 1366 they sold it to the Lords of Schwarzenburg. Eggenthal later belonged to the imperial abbey of Irsee and came to Bavaria with the imperial deputation principal of 1803 . The Peasants 'War in 1525, the Thirty Years' War and the plague affected the place and its inhabitants considerably. In 1628 a plague cemetery was built on the Seelenberg and subsequently the Maria Seelenkapelle south of the village. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
