Location of Hirschdorf in Kempten (Allgäu)

Hirschdorf is a district and at the same time a parish of the independent city of Kempten (Allgäu) . The place in the district of Sankt Lorenz had 121 inhabitants in 1987. In Hirschdorf there is the newly built chapel of St. Magdalena from 1774 under Prince Abbot Honorius Roth von Schreckenstein and a castle stables (Altusrieder Straße 33), which was the seat of the Hirschdorf Truchess from 1239 to 1451.

On the ground floor of the courtyard, parts of the walls of the former castle are still preserved; a baroque wayside shrine stands on the edge of the former moat through which the Kollerbach runs. After their expulsion from the imperial city in 1537, the sisters of the Kempten Franciscan Monastery of St. Anna also found refuge for some time in the former Hirschdorf Castle, which was then owned by the Kempten monastery.

Hirschdorf is derived from the proper name "Heriles". The names Hirtzdorf and Hirßdorf can be found in old documents - an exact dating is not possible. The place is mentioned among other things in 1239 in the Leutkirch Treaty; this is a fiefdom transfer to the Rot monastery . 30 years later a monk and sub-deacon is named as a descendant. In 1287 a Hartmann von Hirschdorf is mentioned as Canon of Augsburg .

The Hirschdorf family started out from Rauns ( Waltenhofen ). This sex provided the abbot Friedrich VI from 1382 to 1405. from Hirschdorf. In 1451 the prince's nephew died as the last descendant of the family, the inheritance passed to the Kempten citizen Peter Seger.

In 1467 the abbot Johann von Wernau acquired the castle and the village of Hirschdorf from Peter Seger.

In 1818 Hirschdorf became part of the rural community of Sankt Lorenz. In June 1957, the Iller accident occurred near Hirschdorf , an accident in which several conscripts were killed. In 1972, Hirschdorf was reclassified to Kempten as part of the municipality of Sankt Lorenz.
