history

Parish Church of Kanzach

Kanzach was first mentioned in 1169 as "Canca". Around 1230 Ortolf von Pflimmern built a Bach knights ' castle in the style of a tower hill castle on the "Schlößlesberg". From 1442 to 1803 Kanzach belonged to the Buchau women's monastery . As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , it fell to the Princes of Thurn and Taxis before it came to the Kingdom of Württemberg after the Peace of Pressburg in 1806 . There it belonged to the Oberamt Riedlingen and from 1938 to the district of Saulgau . In 1973 Kanzach came to the Biberach district as part of the district reform and at the same time joined the Bad Buchau community administration association.
