history
Friesenhofen is located southeast of Leutkirch on the edge of the Adelegg , which was owned by the Counts of Veringen at the beginning of the 12th century . The place is mentioned for the first time in documents of the Isny monastery around 1176, when it received possessions from the Counts of Veringen. In 1177 the Veringian ministerial Ratpoto in Otinheim transferred his manor (praedium) in Friesenhofen to the monastery of St. Georg (Isny) . Both the monasteries in Kempten and Isny, as well as the county of Zeil owned property in Friesenhofen, which they had received from the Counts of Veringen. In 1306 it belonged to the county of Zeil. In 1806, Friesenhofen came to the Kingdom of Württemberg , there, Oberamt Wangen , then in 1842 to the Oberamt Leutkirch and, when it was dissolved in 1938, to the district of Wangen .
On June 1, 1972, Friesenhofen was incorporated into the city of Leutkirch.
