history

Vöhlin Castle in 1923
Vöhlin Castle from the north

Until the 18th century

The oldest known evidence of settlement goes back to around 500 AD. The first documented mention under the place name "Tussa" took place in 954 AD on the occasion of the reconciliation of King Otto I with his son Duke Liudolf of Swabia through the mediation of the Bishop of Augsburg , Ulrich , and the Bishop of Chur , Hartbert , which ended the Liudolfin uprising and in the following year made the unity of the East Franconian dukes possible in the defense of the Hungarians in the battle on the Lechfeld . The three “P” (“Pugnamus Pro Pace” - “We fight for peace”) in the city coat of arms refer to this event.

Tissen Castle, better known today as the Vöhlin Castle, was built in the 12th to 13th centuries after the Battle of Anyheim under the Counts of Kirchberg . As early as 1430, the rule of Kirchberg obtained market rights and the high jurisdiction of King Sigismund for the village of "Tissen". From then on, trade and craft flourished. In addition to farmers and craftsmen, beer brewers and weavers were also based in Illertissen . The Vöhlin merchant family (1520–1757), a Memmingen patrician family , largely determined the history of Illertissen. In 1520 it acquired the castle and rule over Illertissen. In the 18th century, the time of the Vöhlin ended with their bankruptcy and the sale of the rule (1756) to the Bavarian Elector Max Josef III .

19th and 20th centuries

The castle has been owned by the Bavarian state since 1803. Initially, the rent office , district office , district office and tax office as well as the district court were housed here. The bee and local history museum have been using the castle since 1983. In the main building and in the side wing, the Vöhlin Castle has been used since 2010 as a joint training, management and conference center for the universities of Augsburg, Kempten and Neu-Ulm.

The construction of the Ulm – Kempten railway line in 1861/62 (Illertalbahn) provided an important development boost for the agricultural market .

Industrial companies settled west of the railway, the population increased accordingly from approx. 1,000 around 1800 to approx. 1,800 in 1905 to 2,500 in 1930. After the inflation in 1923 , the market town only revived in 1926. At the end of the Second World War , in April 1945, Illertissen only narrowly escaped the threat of the Americans to "lay the market in ruins". Only after three years of various hardships did currency reform and the market economy initiate an upswing. New branches of production settled. Thus Illertissen was able to take part in the general industrialization relatively quickly , without the natural habitat, the social balance or the cityscape being disturbed. The displaced persons also made a remarkable contribution to this.

On the occasion of the 1000th anniversary, Illertissen was promoted to town in 1954.

coat of arms

Illertissen coat of arms
 Blazon : "In red an upright golden lion, covered by a black bar covered with three silver capital letters P."

Emperor Friedrich III. gave the place a coat of arms with the coat of arms of the local lords at that time, the Counts of Kirchberg. This showed a growing black-clad Mohrin with a black bishop's cap on her head, in her right hand a green branch with three leaves and three thistles. The latter stood for the no longer understood place name; Tissen was interpreted as thistles. Seals with this coat of arms have not survived. Illertissen received market rights in 1430. The Counts of Kirchberg died out in 1520 and the property was sold to the Memmingen patrician family Vöhlin. This gave Illertissen its coat of arms with a bar and the three capital letters P in 1530 . The local coat of arms was increased with an erect lion. When the rule of Illertissen came to the Electorate of Bavaria in 1757, the black bar turned blue. In 1814 the three capital letters were removed. In the 19th century there was a golden lion in a black field, covered with a blue bar without the three capital letters. In connection with the town elevation in 1954 Illertissen took the coat of arms in the form of 1530 again.

City partnerships and sponsorships

  • In 1953, Markt Illertissen took over the sponsorship of the town of Elbogen (Loket) in the Egerland ( Czech Republic ), based on the bond with the displaced Egerlands, the preservation of the cultural assets of this town and the multiple historical relationships between Illertissen and Elbogen. This sponsorship became a town twinning in 1999.
  • On the occasion of Illertissen's town elevation in 1954, the city of Augsburg sponsored the young city of Illertissen. It was renewed in 2004 to mark the 50th anniversary of the survey.
