history

Until the 19th century

The community was first mentioned in 1094 as Horguncella . The origin of this place name has not yet been clearly established. With the exception of Tepfenhart in Baden, the area of ​​today's municipality belonged to the Reichsabbey Weingarten until 1803 and then came with this to the newly founded Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 , where it belonged to the Oberamt Ravensburg , the forerunner of today's district .

Community merger

The community was founded on March 1, 1972 from the merger of the communities Hasenweiler, Kappel, Wolketsweiler and Zogenweiler . The place Horgenzell was then a district of Wolketsweiler.

Horgenzell lies on the L 288 Ravensburg - Pfullendorf and the L 290 Friedrichshafen - Saulgau .

The community is with some bus lines u. a. connected with Ravensburg and belongs to the Bodensee-Oberschwaben Verkehrsverbund (bodo) .

Except for the district of Horgenzell, the suburbs have no street names. The plots are numbered street by street, so that the streets are named for example with "1-99". The address is then made up of the suburb and the house number, e.g. B. "Wilhelmskirch 372". In this way, the formerly independent communities and residential areas were able to keep their place names even after the community reform.
