history

The moss belonged to the lordship of Ellhofen and the later municipality of Ellhofen and was considered a wet meadow area. In 1768, ordered by the Bregenz District Office, the road from Weiler via Auers to Isny was built. In 1786 the desertification took place in Ellhofen. In 1788, Anton Eser, the first settler, moved to the Ellhofer Moos.

"Good, good! Ma isch dött duss it gli dr Mindscht, like z'Wilar! "

"Good Good! You're not always the worst out there, like in Weiler. "

- Anton Eser's answer to the question of what life is like in moss

In the following there were always several courtyards and a brick factory . The official name of the place in the Oberamt Bregenz was Quarthofen , which roughly meant Viertelhof . However, later the colloquial name Ellhofer Moos prevailed. With the opening of the Röthenbach – Weiler railway in 1893, the town received an additional boost.
