history

St. Leonhard in Gottenau

The place Gottenau was first mentioned in 1167 with the relic donation of the Ottobeurer Abbot Isingrim . The place appeared in a sales deed of the Hohenthann rule in 1404. In the high Middle Ages the Ursin-Ronsberg rule had the largest property in the town, only the Kempten monastery had free float. After the 13th century the rule Ursin-Ronsberg had fallen apart, had several landlords, including the rule Ronsberg, the rule stone to Nassau , the rule Willofs and the rule Hohenthann parts of Gottenau. The high judiciary exercised the rule of Ronsberg until 1561. However, until 1404 the Hohenthann rulership appeared as local ruler, who sold the village to the Memmingen citizen Otmar Leutkircher in the same year . He sold the place with all rights and rights to the Memmingen patrician Hans Funk . His heir Baltasar Funk sold it in 1537 to the Memmingen patrician and mayor Hans Ehinger , who passed it on to Hans Vöhlin in 1546 . The skilful buying behavior of the Memmingen bourgeois families Leutkircher, Funk, Ehinger and Vöhlin enabled a coherent property complex to form. The Leutkirch family acquired an estate from Hans vom Stein in 146, the Funk two farms from the Ottobeuren monastery in 1465 and rights to various Gottenau estates from their subjects and Lehenäcker from the Kempten monastery in 1504. In addition to the local lords, the Kempten monastery, the Ottobeuren monastery, Hans Adam vom Stein and the Sättelin family from Memmingen appeared in the 15th century as owners of parts of the town outside of Germany . The Vöhlin family sold the property to Jakob Fugger in 1584 . The Fuggers had already considered the purchase years before, when in 1552 they achieved the solution of the Kempter fiefdom from the fiefdom of the monastery and the dismissal of serfs from the monastery. They acquired the property in the village, which consisted of two farms, from the last remaining foreign landowner, Hans Caspar von Schönau zu Stein and Ronsberg. With this purchase, the Fuggers were the sole masters of the place from 1609 and had the lower jurisdiction . However, the rule of Ronsberg retained high jurisdiction. With the Rhine Confederation Act , the place came to Bavaria in 1806 and together with the neighboring town of Erlis formed the community of Gottenau. At that time the village had 28 households. Land consolidation was carried out between 1965 and 1969, in which 28 farms were involved. On May 1, 1978, the company was incorporated into Markt Rettenbach, and Gottenau lost its independence.
