Local division

The locality of Kluftern includes the eponymous place Kluftern, the districts of Efrizweiler and Lipbach .

history

Kluftern was first mentioned in 764 as Cluftirrun .

A Celtic origin of the place name is conceivable , which points to a history long before Christian times. Framed between the two brooks Brunnisach and Lipbach, there was an estate with a chapel on a small settlement hill, as evidenced by medieval documents. During this time, the Alemanni on the northern shore of Lake Constance protected themselves through contracts with the St. Gallen Monastery . So also Theotram, the owner of the Kluftern estate, who transferred everything he owned, houses, servants, streams, fields and forests, to the monastery in 764, but continued to manage the farm as a fief and paid a lease for it. He made the donation for the salvation of his soul and that of his mother.

Heiligenberg has ruled since 1479 , but the place was given to Efrizweiler. After the media coverage in 1803 and the reorganization by Napoleon in 1806 was the place to Baden and then formed with Efrizweiler a municipality in the district office Meersburg , 1824 in Prince bergischen Office Heiligenberg, 1842 again in district office Meersburg and 1857 in the District Office Ueberlingen , from 1939, the district Ueberlingen emerged . In 1848 and again in 1849 the neighboring town of Lipbach (municipality of Riedheim ) applied for incorporation into Efrizweiler-Kluftern, which was carried out by the Baden Ministry of the Interior in 1861 against the wishes of the municipality of Riedheim.

In 1901 the train came to Kluftern with the Bodensee-Gürtelbahn. On December 22nd, 1939, a serious railway accident occurred between Markdorf and Kluftern, with over 100 dead.

Until modern times, Kluftern remained a village with a few hundred inhabitants that was closely connected with Efrizweiler, the seat of the rulership (mentioned in a document since the 12th century). The old village structures with the three authorities, pastor, mayor and school principal, can still be recognized today through the immediate vicinity of the rectory, church, town hall and school.

It was not until the rapid development of large companies in Friedrichshafen during the First and Second World Wars and in the post-war period that the population grew rapidly. On April 1, 1972, Kluftern was incorporated into the city of Friedrichshafen with the suburbs of Efrizweiler and Lipbach and thus left the Überlingen district.
