history

Habsthal on a map with the "Description of the Eastern Eastern District" from 1697

First tracks in the area of today's Habs valley were found in northwest Won "Fohrenstock". In 1854, Carl Freiherr von Mayenfisch , head of the Princely Hohenzollern Collections and the library in Sigmaringen since 1846, opened three burial mounds here; the grave goods could be found from the late Hallstatt period around 500 BC. Be assigned.

The Romans subjugated in 15 BC BC the Celtic tribal group of the Vindeliker, who settled in the foothills of the Alps between Lake Constance and Inn , and cultivated the area. Two Roman roads led past today's Habsthal: one from Altshausen via Ostrach, Wangen , Bernweiler, Habsthal and Krauchenwies to Sigmaringen , another from Pfullendorf via Mottschieß to Mengen . In 1894, a Roman spur made of bronze (originally 'spit', generally 'a tool for poking or pricking') was found at the Habsthaler inn .

In 1259, Count Palatine Hugo von Tübingen donated the place to the Dominican nuns of the Quantum Monastery, which was probably moved to Habsthal immediately afterwards and later formed a separate rulership with Rosna and Bernweiler.

In 1806, Habsthal and the monastery came under the ownership of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen rulership through the Rhine Confederation Act . In the years 1829 to 1833 the serfdom of the Habsthal residents was abolished, and in the middle of the 19th century the tithe was replaced.

In 1903 a new cemetery was laid above the " Herrenbrünnel " for the communities of Rosna and Habsthal. The old cemetery by the monastery wall to the side of the lower gate, which had served as a burial place since 1680, was closed and leveled in 1966. Today there is a small green area with two war memorials (see below).

The schoolhouse built the year before and seven neighboring residents got water connections in 1907. In 1932 the place received a sewerage system . It was not until 1965 that Habsthal was connected to today's water supply with a well in the Habsthaler Ried and an elevated tank on the Habsthaler Spitz .

In the course of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , the municipality of Habsthal and the town of Bernweiler were incorporated into Ostrach on October 1, 1974, and since then, together with Einhart and Levertsweiler, forms the town of Weithart.
