history

Beginnings of the settlement

Archaeological finds document settlement activities in the Kaufbeuren region in almost all epochs from the Neolithic . In and around the city there are Hallstatt- era burial mounds , and the remains of a Bronze Age settlement lie on the Vorderen Märzenburg. There is also a Celtic four-cornered hill near the town near Frankenhofen . With the appearance of the Romans from 15 BC The region was first registered and administrated by the state. From the end of the 5th century Alamanni settled in the region, which the Romans had left in 401 AD and was now subject to the Ostrogoths . Space politically significant was Kaufbeuren only after final submission of the Alemanni by the Franks under Charles Martel and Pippin the Younger 730 and 746. Output of Kaufbeurer settlement a Frankish was probably Carolingian Reichshof, the middle of the 8th century in the Upper Beurer Urmark was founded . The farm served as the administrative seat for the colonization of the surrounding area and, due to its proximity to the Lech , which marked the border with the Bavarian duchy , as a military retreat.

High Middle Ages

From 1112, the noble family of the Barons of Buron / Beuren, from fabrics - Oberbergen at Kaufering originating vassals of Guelph , on record, probably the farm since the late 11th century as a hereditary fiefdom owned occupied. After their extinction in the male line with the death of Heinrich the Younger von Buron in 1167, Duke Welf VI. the place in itself, since Heinrich's sister Liutgard intended to turn the family inheritance to the Ottobeuren monastery . After the early death of his only son, Welf signed an inheritance contract with his nephew, the Staufer emperor Friedrich Barbarossa , with which the Beurer property fell to the Staufer after his death in 1191.

Imperial city

On February 3, 1286, the city was privileged as an imperial city ​​by the Roman German King Rudolf I of Habsburg . In 1327, Vils in Tyrol was granted town charter under the law of Kaufbeuren by Ludwig IV . In 1377 the city of Kaufbeuren was besieged by Duke Friedrich von Teck and in 1388 by the Bavarian dukes in vain. In the years 1482/84, 1521 and 1627/29 the plague raged in Kaufbeuren; in the last and worst epidemic, the city lost around two thirds of its population.

Mediatization until today

The city of Kaufbeuren, a member of the Swabian Reichskreis from 1500 onwards , lost the status of an imperial city in 1802 with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and fell to the Electorate of Bavaria , which became the Kingdom of Bavaria from 1806 . Until 1935 Kaufbeuren was a self-governing city. Since January 1, 1948, the city is again independent . An integration into the Ostallgäu district, which had already been decided by the city council, was blocked by the then mayor, Rudolf Krause . In a referendum, 68 percent of voters spoke out in favor of district freedom.

At the time of the NSDAP regime , an ammunition factory was opened by Dynamit AG , formerly Alfred Nobel et al. , In a forest area northeast of Kaufbeuren in 1939 . Co, built up. There were slave laborers from the nearby satellite camp Riederloh with stones in Mauerstetten , a branch of the Dachau concentration camp , used.

Between May 1944 and April 1945 there was a satellite camp on the site of a former cotton spinning mill , which also belonged to the Dachau concentration camp or was subordinate to the Allach satellite camp . Here prisoners were kept between 300 and 600, which for the company BMW in forced labor had to manufacture spare parts for military equipment.

House in Oberbeuren

In today's district hospital for psychiatry and neurology , under the direction of its director Valentin Faltlhauser, around 2,000 mentally ill children, women and men were deported to Hadamar , Grafeneck and Hartheim in the " euthanasia " killing campaign T4 during the Nazi tyranny . Since 1989 a memorial stone behind the monastery church of the institution commemorates these victims .

The city survived the Second World War almost without damage - planned bomber attacks on the munitions factory fell on foggy days. Only at the railway facilities at Grafensteigle were individual houses damaged by bombs. On April 27, 1945, the NSDAP mayor, Karl Deinhardt, surrendered the city to the invading Americans, who occupied the city and airport and blew up the Dynamit Nobel ammunition factory outside the city gates.

From spring 1946, today's district of Neugablonz , founded by Sudeten German expellees from Gablonz on the Neisse , was built on the ruins of the armaments factory . The pre-war mayor Georg Volkhardt , who was reinstated by the Americans , the district administrator Georg Stang and the engineer Erich Huschka, who became known as the “father of Neugablonz”, played a decisive role in the settlement of the displaced . The displaced were initially housed in the Riederloh camp before they were allocated areas on the site of the ammunition factory. Kaufbeuren thus became one of five Bavarian displaced towns .

On September 23, 2008, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .

View from the town hall onto Kaiser-Max-Straße

The majority of Kaufbeuren's Christians today belong to the Roman Catholic Church. In the course of the Reformation , however, Kaufbeuren had become a Protestant imperial city. Mayor Ludwig Bonrieder (1512–1589) signed the Lutheran concord formula of 1577 for the city council in 1579.

The city colors Kaufbeuren are red and yellow and can be traced back to the middle of the 15th century.

come from the former historic city wall. Parts of the wall have been preserved as they were in the late Middle Ages. During this time it reached its greatest extent with a total length of 1.6 km.
