Haßberg is a wasteland in the district of Sankt Mang in the city of Kempten (Allgäu) .

history

In the 13th and 14th centuries, Haßberg was the seat of Stiftkemptischer ministerials (knightly servants of the abbot). This included a moated castle and a building yard. The Habsperg family was first mentioned in 1331. In 1394, the family was subject to interest for their seat on Haßberg and a farmstead in the Stiftkemptischen Neustadt.

In 1738 two farms were recorded in the Abbey-Kemptic land table. In 1819, one year after the formation of the rural community Sankt Mang , Haßberg consisted of 3 properties with 15 residents in 2 residential buildings. At that time, Haßberg was part of the Lenzfried team .

In 1900, 19 residents lived in Haßberg on two properties. One of the buildings was built from rubble stones from the old castle. In 1954 there were 13 residents in Haßberg.

Architectural monuments

Hassberg moated castle

The moated castle stood in the middle of an artificially created pond. The heaped up, rectangular hill is the only one in the vicinity that could form the basis for a moated castle. After the castle was built, the stream was led into the prepared depression. The dam was also preserved. It is unclear whether Haßberg Castle was abandoned or destroyed after moving to the city of Kempten.

Haßberg Castle also had a mill. The prince monastery of Kempten had the pond dammed for typical freshwater fish . It must therefore have been bigger than it is today.

chapel

The Haßberg Chapel, built around 1750, was demolished in 1958. It was consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity and St. Anthony and had a Stations of the Cross from 1801. In 1800 it was renewed. The picture on the ceiling showed St. Anthony, St. John on the left, and the 14 helpers on the right. The wooden statues represented Saints Rochus and Anthony. The chapel had an altarpiece with the Holy Trinity.
