history

The establishment of the courtyard probably goes back to the 9th / 10th centuries. Century back. The name of the place is derived from the Middle High German "Griez" (= sand, gravel) and "Ham" (= home). In 1375 the Schellenbergers from Vorarlberg bought the farm together with the village of Niederwöhr . In 1442 Griesham came into the possession of the Lords of Train for a short time , only to be sold to the Münchsmünster Monastery in 1469 . Around 1470, the "Blessed Farmer of Griesham" lived here . Close to the court there was a chapel built in honor of Bishop Ulrich von Augsburg, which was demolished in 1803 in the turmoil of secularization .
