history

Until the church is planted

Fishing was first mentioned in a document from the St. Gallen monastery from the year 860. It reports on a donation of land from a certain Willihere to the St. Gallen monastery , headed by the abbot Grimaldus, and names Fischen as "Viskingun". In the Latin original the text is:

Original document from 860 in the St. Gallen Abbey Archives

Ego in dei nomine Willihere cogitans de remedio anime me trado atque transfundo ad coenobium sancti Galli cui venerabilis abba Grimaldus preesse dinoscitur unam hobam in silva quae adjacet Werimbretiscella. ea videlicet ratione ut ex hoc tempore ejusdem rectores monasterii eandem hobam tali potestate possideant, quali ego usque in presens visus sum possidere. Actum in Viskingun publice presentibus istis quorum hic signacula continentur. Signum Willigeri advocati. sig. Heimo. + Sigifrid. + Egibert + Ellinwart. + Ruadmunt + Waldram + Adalhelm + Adalcoz.

2010 was the 1150th anniversary of this mention, which is why a historical pageant took place on August 15, 2010, in which 41 clubs presented the history of fishing. Fischen 906 is mentioned again in an exchange document as "Fiskinga". This Alemannic name for fishing means something like "fishing point", which probably does not indicate a lively fishing industry, but only indicates a further nutritional basis for the farmers of that time. In the centuries that followed, Fischen, like most of the villages in the Upper Illertal , was marked by numerous changes of rule. Fischen played a role in the peasant uprisings of 1525, in which some peasants from Fischen tried the revolt. At the Sonthofen Day on February 14, 1525, numerous farmers from Oberallgäu met with the aim of reinforcing their demands. These included the abolition of serfdom and church tithe .

As part of the county of Königsegg-Rotenfels, Fischen was exchanged for Austria in 1804 and fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1805 with the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg with the county . In 1818 the community was founded.

19th and 20th centuries

The first census took place under Bavarian rule in 1875. A second survey in 1885 revealed a rural community area of ​​1119.858 ha for fishing, on which a total of 987 inhabitants lived.

During the Second World War in the forest between Fischen and Oberstdorf , the Fischen satellite camp was a subcommand of the Kottern-Weidach (Kempten) satellite camp , which belonged to the Dachau concentration camp and in which 300 prisoners had to do forced labor for the Messerschmitt company's armaments production. Parts of the foundations and a ramp bear witness to this happening.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, part of the formerly independent community of Schöllang was incorporated.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Fischen im Allgäu
Blazon : "Under a golden shield head in red covered with three lying red diamonds, two upright fish facing away from each other."

The coat of arms was awarded by resolution of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior on May 25, 1950

The fish speak for the place name. The place is first mentioned in 860 as Viskingun. The name Fiskina from the year 905 indicates that the place name means "to the fishermen" and not, as assumed, "with the fish" in the sense of an area rich in fish. The head of the shield with the red diamonds comes from the coat of arms of the Counts of Königsegg-Rothenfels , who ruled the municipality since 1564. The male line of the family died out in 1875.

tourism

Fischen has been a climatic health resort with 5,200 guest beds and around 580,000 overnight stays per year since 2002 . The place is the starting point for mountain and bike tours and offers 50 km of walking and hiking trails. The center of the spa life is the Kurhaus Fiskina with its spa department, spa hall and spa gardens. Other tourist offers are the leisure pool with a 58 m water slide, the sports park (tennis, fitness, squash, badminton, table tennis, billiards, saunas and holiday apartments) and (night) cross-country trails.

traffic

Fischen was connected to the railway network in 1888 by the Immenstadt – Oberstdorf railway. The Fischen satellite camp, a satellite camp of the Dachau concentration camp, was located near the Fischen train station . On the road side, federal highway 19 leads through the town.

Fischen is also on the Iller Cycle Path , a long-distance connection for cyclists between Ulm and Oberstdorf.
