history

Heudorf is a relatively young settlement that was first mentioned as "Hawedorf" around 1400. The place probably originated from Holzheim as a clearing settlement . The manorial rule was split up, so the rule Glött and Haldenwang as well as the Katharinenkloster Augsburg and the Dominican Sisters in Dillingen an der Donau owned shares.

Treasure find from Heudorf

The village gained national fame at times through a treasure find in February 1951. The farmer Johann Wiedemann and his workers came across a cavity during clearing work in their own forest when they tried to remove the rhizome of a tree. Finally they found some silver coins wrapped in canvas between two crushed simple earthen bowls. A total of 13 large, 14 medium and 516 small coins of different origins and ages were found. Since the most recent coins have a die from 1631 (2 ten kreuzer pieces from Chur in Graubünden ) and the area around Heudorf was occupied by Swedish troops in the course of the Thirty Years' War in the spring of 1632, it can be assumed that the cash treasure was probably in March / April 1632 as a result buried in the uncertainties of that time. The total nominal value of the find was 1960 cruisers.

Religions
