history

Einhart on a map with the “Description of the East Rachian District” from 1697

In 1220 a village named Ygenhart was mentioned for the first time . It belonged to the Grafschaft Friedberg and was mentioned as a fiefdom in 1294 by the brothers Gremlich zu Pfullendorf and the Humpis . In the centuries that followed, the Gremlichs acquired more and more rights in the village, which they sold to the Constance Monastery in 1591 . In 1603 the property came to the Salem monastery , which Einhart assigned to his office in Ostrach . Two hundred years later, Einhart became the property of the Thurn und Taxis family , in 1806 under the sovereignty of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and with this in 1850 to Prussia .

As part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , Einhart was incorporated into Ostrach on October 1, 1974.
