Gutenberg is a district of the municipality of Oberostendorf in the Ostallgäu district on the east side of the Georgiberg and on the Gennach .
history
The location of the place on a flat slope of a range of hills suggests a good (i.e. productive) mountain when interpreting the place name.
Gutenberg is mentioned for the first time in 1238, when a Rudiger von Gutenberg appears as a witness in a document. Also known is the Augsburg canon Wernher von Gutenberg in the middle of the 13th century and Hermann and his son Dietrich von Gutenberg, the latter in the middle of the 14th century. The Knights of Gutenberg, kemnater Dienstmannen , lived in a small castle on a hill about 150 meters southwest of the parish church. The hill has now been removed and built over.
The Gutenberger ministerials were followed by citizens of Augsburg and patricians from Kaufbeuren :
- In 1342 the brothers Heinrich, Ulrich and Nikolaus von Augsburg sold their property to Heinrich Portner, a citizen of Augsburg.
- In 1380 Bertlin der Portner sold two farms in Gutenberg and then handed the place over to his two sons-in-law, Hans Rapolt and Arnold von Gereut , who divided the property in 1398. While Arnold's share came to Hans von Benzenau via Schmiecher zu Helmishofen in the 1st third of the 15th century , the other part was acquired by the Rapolt heirs, Konrad Schmalholz, a citizen of Landsberg .
- In the second half of the 15th century, the Kaufbeurer patrician Ulrich III. Honold returned the two parts to one rule. When his estates were divided up soon before 1501, Gutenberg passed on to his nephew Anton II Honold von Koneberg . In 1534 there was again an inheritance among his children. First, Anna Honold, the wife of the pharmacist Dr. Alban Wolffhart in Memmingen in 1537 their share, including the church rate and the lower jurisdiction , to the Kaufbeurer citizen Georg Hörmann . However, the trade only became legally binding in 1543 after a dispute with her brothers had been settled before the Imperial Court of Justice. Soon afterwards, the other Honolute heirs also sold their property in Gutenberg to Hörmann: in 1544 the brothers Dominikus and Anton III. Honold and in 1545 his sister Regina Honold.
- Georg Hörmann (1491–1552) was the head administrator of Jakob Fugger in his Schwazer mines, which made him a wealthy and influential personality. In 1528 he was raised to the hereditary nobility by Emperor Charles V. Georg Hörmann now called himself “von und zu Gutenberg”. Emperor Ferdinand I appointed him imperial councilor.
- The patrimonial court of the Hörmann family over Gutenberg existed until 1848. Even before that, with the secularization , the high jurisdiction , which until now belonged to the Augsburg monastery, had fallen to the Bavarian state association. From 1803 Gutenberg was administered by the newly formed Kaufbeuren district court .
In the course of the regional reform , the independent municipality of Gutenberg was incorporated into the municipality of Oberostendorf on May 1, 1978 .
coat of arms
The coat of arms was awarded to the then municipality on January 13, 1950 by decision of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior. In black it represents a six-pointed golden star over a golden three-mountain.
The star goes back to the coat of arms of the von Hörmann family from Kaufbeur, who owned the entire village of Gutenberg from 1545. The Dreiberg indicates the place name.
Culture and sights
- Parish Church of St. Margareta
- Gutenberg is first mentioned as a parish in 1450. The parish church of St. Margareta in its current appearance dates from 1791.
- The former rectory, built as a representative building in 1793/94, was sold to a private person by the Diocese of Augsburg in 2010 after unsuccessful attempts to keep it open to the public.
- Hörmann Chapel
- On the south side of the parish church, Georg Hörmann had the chapel with a crypt underneath built as a family burial in 1546. As a result of extensive construction work at the end of the 18th century, the chapel was greatly changed with new doors and the demolition of the old vault. Until 2012, attempts were made to restore the sacred space to its dignity. A bronze epitaph for Ludwig Hörmann (1515–1588) of great art history, handed over to the Kaufbeurer Stadtmuseum in 1894, has been re-attached here as a copy.
- Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity
- In the open field southwest of the village stands the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, which was promised by the miller Hans Scholz in 1634 in distress, but was only built in 1704 by one of his successors, Elias Huber.
- Gutenberg Castle
- The castle, built by Wilhelm Gottfried Hörmann in 1731 at the northern end of the village in the French style, was demolished in 1823 after the Hörmann had sold all of the property in Gutenberg. A memorial plaque above the courtyard entrance of the property at Hörmannstrasse 28 still reminds of the castle.
- "Heimatstube"
- On the northern wall of the cemetery there is a small mercenary house that used to be a prison ("Keuche") for the local authorities. From 1698 the property was assigned to the servant who until then had an apartment next to the castle stables. The exemplary restored building with its rustic facade and the striking hipped roof has been used as a museum since 1996. Rural living, life and work are documented in five rooms.
- Atonement Cross
- At the northern entrance to the village there is a stone atonement cross, probably in memory of Pastor Georg Stammak, who was murdered by the Swedes at this point in 1633.
- House brands
- A Gutenberger specialty are ten artistically designed house brands . They are assigned to the corresponding number of properties. Their meaning, whether wood marks, property stamps or brand marks, is unclear.
