Guggenhausen was first mentioned in a document as Guginhusin in 1251 , the name probably goes back to the personal name Gucko . For the year 1264 donations from the treasurer Heinrich von Bigenburg of possession in the place to the monastery of Baindt are documented.

The Königsegg Castle was the ancestral castle of a branch of the Lords of Fronhofen , who called themselves Lords of Königsegg from 1251 , came into the possession of the whole place in the 14th century and in the course of time larger areas in the area and near Aulendorf and between Oberstaufen and Immenstadt acquired. In the middle of the 17th century they moved their residence to Königseggwald , their county fell in 1806 to the Kingdom of Württemberg , which assigned it to the Saulgau District Office. The ancestral castle in Königsegg was converted into an estate in the 19th century, a castle chapel in the east wing with a renaissance holy water font was preserved. Königsegg Castle was part of the municipality of Hoßkirch until 1850 and has since been an exclave of Guggenhausen with its eastern surroundings .

Until 1972 Guggenhausen belonged to the Saulgau district . With its dissolution, the community became part of the Ravensburg district on January 1, 1973.
