history

Until the church is planted

The name is derived from the Old High German words halda (slope) and wang (area). The Illertal was already densely populated in Roman times. At that time there were probably settlements on the eastern edge of the valley, and it was not far to the city of Cambodunum . In the early Middle Ages , feudal men from the Ottobeuren monastery sat at Wagegg Castle ; in later times they were ministerials from the Kempten monastery . A knight Walther von Wagegg is recorded in 1180, a knight from Schellenberg and Wagegg in 1374 and a knight Caspar von Laubenberg and Wagegg in 1468. Before 1800 Haldenwang was the seat of an upper and lower court of the same name and belonged to the Baron von Freyberg-Eisenberg. With the Rheinbund act 1806 the place came to Bavaria. In 1818 the community was founded.

Until the regional reform , Haldenwang belonged to the Kempten district . This was dissolved on July 1, 1972.
