history

The Gangenweiler first appeared in a document in 1325 as Gengenwiler , later also as Gannenwiller . The place name is probably composed of a clan name and the addition of hamlet . Gangenweiler belonged to the von Bitzenhofen family , who sold goods and rights to the town of Markdorf in 1360. At the end of the 15th century, however, Gangenweiler was part of the county of Heiligenberg .

Gangenweiler was a special mark for many years: Gangenweiler and Allerheiligen belonged to the Baden community of Riedheim , but protruded like a duck's bill from Württemberg into the Baden area. By decree of the Ministry of the Interior in Karlsruhe in 1924 it was ordered to cancel the special markings of Gangenweiler, Hepbach , Leimbach and Stadel and to unite them with Riedheim to form a community called Riedheim.

As part of the community reform , the formerly independent community of Riedheim was incorporated into the town of Markdorf with effect from March 1, 1972.

religion

Ecclesiastically, Gangenweiler belonged to Oberteuringen until 1837 , then to Urnau , and from 1966 to Hepbach .

Gangenweiler has 26 inhabitants (as of 2012).

Culture and sights

Buildings

• The Catholic chapel in Gangenweiler is a plastered quarry stone building with a lower polygonal choir, segmental arched entrance and roof turret. The sacred building from the late 19th century is a listed building.
• At Gasthaus Gnadenau ( 650  m above sea level ) above Gangenweiler there was the botanical test and show garden on Gehrenberg , the space travel documentation center (RDZ) and a terrace café. After the currency reform in 1948, Heinz Schulte, who was severely injured in the war and a textile merchant from Duisburg, acquired the Hollenau inn and a 10,000 square meter orchard as a summer residence. From 1949 he redesigned this into a botanical garden, at that time the only one in the southern half of Baden-Württemberg. When his son had successfully recovered from spinal polio in 1952 , he renamed the inn Gnadenau and opened the previously private garden as a test and exhibition garden for visitors. Schulte was considered a personal friend of space pioneer Wernher von Braun , which is why he set up the RDZ in his inn in 1969. After Schulte ended his engagement in 1989, he donated his models and his collection to the Hermann Oberth Space Museum in Feucht .
