history
Kisslegg
A rich coin find in Oberhorgen indicates a settlement in Roman times . In the 8th century the Leutkirch priest Ratpot founded a cell (apartment and church) on the banks of the Zellersee , which was first mentioned in 824 as Ratpotiscella and developed into a village by the beginning of the 9th century. Around 850 the place came into the possession of the St. Gallen Monastery , which built a Meierhof (also Kellhof ) between Zellersee and Obersee , to which over 100 farms in the area belonged.
A noble family had been living in the area since the 9th century and, in addition to their own estates, also managed the goods of the St. Gallen Meierhof as a meier (also known as a cellar ). One member of the family is said to have been named Kisololt, Kisilhar or Kisalfrid. The family built Kisilegge Castle in the 11th or 12th century , after which they were named Lords of Kiselegge from 1227 . Over time the name of the castle replaced the original names Zell and Kißleggzell , so that the place has only been known as Kißlegg since the 15th century.
The last heir to the Lords of Kißlegg married his daughter to Marquard von Schellenberg from the Schellenberg family around 1300 , who became the new owners of Kißlegg .
In 1381 the rule within the Schellenberg family was divided into a Schellenberg part, which came to the Waldburg -Wolfegg and Waldsee line through marriage in 1708 , and a Paumgart part, which after several changes of ownership in 1625, first to Friedrich von Waldburg-Scheer-Trauchburg and finally 1793 went to the Waldburg-Zeil -Wurzach house .
On February 28, 1394, King Wenceslas in Prague granted both lordships the right to market and lower and high jurisdiction . During the German Peasants' War , Kisslegg was one of the centers of the uprising. In 1548 Kißlegg was completely destroyed, with the exception of the Schellenberg Castle, in 1704 a fire again destroyed almost the entire market town.
In 1806 Kißlegg came to the Kingdom of Württemberg , where it was assigned to the Oberamt Wangen . In 1820 the independent communities of Kißlegg, Sommersried, Samisweiler (around 1823 to Sommersried), Emmelhofen and Wiggenreute were established. On September 15, 1870, the Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the Waldsee – Kißlegg section of the Herbertingen – Isny railway line . During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Kißlegg came to the district of Wangen in 1938 . After the Second World War, the place fell into the French occupation zone in 1945 and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. With the dissolution of the district of Wangen, the community came to the district of Ravensburg in 1973 .
Incorporations
- 1934: Sommersried, Emmelhofen, Wiggenreute
- January 1, 1972: Waltershofen and Immenried
Localities
Waltershofen
Waltershofen is mentioned for the first time around 1200 in a goods toboggan from the Isny monastery , which had a farm here. As early as 1275 there was a parish in the village , which has been under the patronage of the Petershausen Monastery since 1353 . The village of Waltershofen including the bailiff of the parish church as well as the courtyards and ponds at Sigrazhofen were fiefdoms of the St. Gallen monastery , which were sold in 1431 by the lords of Heimenhofen zu Hohentann to the lords of Schellenberg zu Kißlegg. In the same year King Sigismund gave the Lords of Schellenberg jurisdiction in Waltershofen. From then on, Waltershofen and Sigrazhofen formed a separate lordship with lower and high court, but was always connected to the Schellenberg half of the Kißlegg lordship. The lords and barons of Schellenberg had Waltershofen in their title from the 16th to the 18th century. After the death of the last baron von Schellenberg in 1708, Waltershofen passed to his daughter and her husband, the Counts of Waldburg-Wolfegg . In 1798 the Counts of Waldburg-Wolfegg-Waldsee followed as owners. After the Peace of Pressburg , the rulership of Waltershofen and the Kißlegg local markers Dettishofen, Wengen, Hilpertshofen and Dürren on the Memmingen - Lindau road came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 . After the border adjustment in 1810 , Württemberg took possession of these places, formed the Waltershofen Schultheißerei from them and incorporated them into the Leutkirch Oberamt . As a result of the district reforms, Waltershofen came to the district of Wangen in 1938 and to the district of Ravensburg in 1973 .
Immenried
The place name Immenried means "clearing of the real estate". The place first appears in a document in the 14th century as "Ymmenrieth" in a codex of the St. Gallen Abbey Library . Immenried was always part of the Kißlegg rule and thus shares its history. Already early on there was a special one, St. Ursula church, which according to tradition should originally have been the parish church. However, between 1360 and 1810 it is always mentioned as a branch church of Kißlegg; the early mass chaplain from Kisslegg took over the local church service. In 1810 the early mass chaplaincy was moved to Immenried and made a parish office. In 1806 Immenried became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg and in 1820 became an independent municipality with the location markings Eintürnenberg (until 1842), Oberreute, Eberharz, Rahmhaus Pfenders, Stadels and Holzmühle. The municipality of Immenried initially belonged to the Oberamt, then to the district of Wangen and came with the entire municipality of Kißlegg in 1973 to the district of Ravensburg .

In 1885 a Protestant church was also built. Originally the Protestant Christians of the community belonged to the Wangen parish before an independent parish in Kißlegg was founded in 1983. The community belongs to the church district Ravensburg ; 12% of the residents of Kisslegg belong to it.
