history
Until the church is planted
At Heimenkirch, Meckatz, Dreiheiligen and Kappen the remains of Roman burgi , tower-like buildings were found, which had been built to strengthen the border fortifications between the forts at a distance of about 1.5 to 2 kilometers with an almost square base area of 10 to 12 meters on a side . The walls in Meckatz still stood at the beginning of the 19th century. The find of the Burgus near Dreiheiligen was made while building the railway.
Heimenkirch is said to owe its name to a Germanic prince named Heimo .
The Heimenkirch market initially belonged to Upper Austria as part of the Bregenz - Hohenegg rule . Since the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg in 1805, the place has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
20th century
In February 1966, the Heimenkirch bus accident occurred at a railroad crossing . The barriers actually to be closed by the gatekeeper remained open. A freight train caught a post bus here and dragged it several meters further. Seven children died in the process. The bus was badly damaged.

- Paul Bäck House
The listed Paul-Bäck-Haus was a wine tavern and bakery, nail smithy as well as servants and craftsmen accommodation. The monument is one of the oldest buildings in the area and its characteristic shape shapes the appearance of Heimenkirch.
Building : A small, almost square house clad with wooden shingles in the center of the village on a square-like extension with a fountain ( see map ), consisting of two floors, divided into five axes, with an attic in a shingle-covered, curved hip roof. Two brick chimneys decorated with tops made from small brick houses. The inner floor plan is practically unchanged. The wall and ceiling cladding, the floorboards and the stone floor in the hallway on the ground floor also largely show their original condition.

History : The building visible today dates from the 15th century and was first mentioned in a marriage certificate in 1633. The medieval fiefdom of the noble family of the Humpis von Waltrams passed to the Milz family at the end of the 17th century, who farmed it for over 100 years. After a short interim ownership , the property came through verganten to the Zwisler family, who were active as farmers, wine owners and bakers. The subsequent baker, Schweinsberger, handed the goods over to the brewery owner Salomon Karg, who worked next door, in an exchange transaction. In 1890 he leased the farm with bakery and wine tavern to Colestin Paul, who ran it for 26 years and whose name lives on in what is now the Paul-Bäck-Haus. The building was then used as an apartment for the Swiss stables , servants and maids who worked on the Salomon Karg family estate. For a long time there was a so-called disturbance room in the attic . Craftsmen lived here who did their work directly for the customer and - if there was no more work in the place - moved on to the next.
In the long history of the house, around five major conversions or extensions were made: from the original smaller wooden log house to the stone house, the western extension, the installation of the two chimneys, the partial rococo painting and the major renovation of the foundations in the 1950s, including the first clapboard cladding installed back then.
Restoration : The market town acquired the building, which is known as a jewel, in the winter of 2005/2006 and restored it to the latest stage of development in the building history of the house with grants from the government of Swabia, urban development funding and the state monument office. For example, the Allgäu cladding that defines the exterior today has been preserved. The roof structure, which had to be completely renewed, offered the opportunity to transform the former sturgeon room in the attic into a beamed, historic room for smaller events such as lectures, concerts and weddings. For the unchanged floor plan of the lower two statically secured floors, a Heimenkirchen working group created a usage concept. After that, the lower ground floor was suitable for changing markets, such as Easter or Christmas markets. The home parlor and music room should be located on the first floor. In order to meet the modern access requirements and at the same time to preserve the original interior of the Paul-Bäck-Haus and to be able to use it optimally, a glass extension with stairs and elevator was built on the back of the historical building. The restored house was inaugurated at the beginning of October 2010 after a topping-out and helpers' party.
North of Heimenkirch is the only surviving castle in the Lindau district, which cannot be visited. The "English Graves" are located in an adjacent forest about 15 minutes' walk from the castle. Former residents of the castle were buried here.
