history

Until the church is planted

Kraftisried belonged to the Prince Abbey of Kempten . Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 the place belongs to Bavaria . Kraftisried is probably a foundation of the Carolingian clearing period by the Franconian imperial court Thingau, which was transferred to the Kempten monastery by King Otto the Great on January 18, 943. A Reutmeister named Kraft was commissioned to clear the land west of Thingau. The name of the place can be derived from this (Ried = clearing, "clearing of power"). Later on, the Augsburg monastery also took part in the clearing. Therefore the place was divided into two main teams. On the one hand in the Stiktkemptische, administered by the Thingau nursing office, on the other hand in the bishopric Augsburg, episcopal, administered by the Oberdorf nursing office. This condition lasted until the secularization by the Bavarian state in 1803. Kraftisried was mentioned in writing for the first time in a monastery document of the Kempten monastery from 1357. In the Middle Ages, five quarter estates and several individual pieces of land, making up a total of about two estates, were fiefs of the Kemnat lordship. The mill and two farms, as well as the cabbage hut, belonged to the kemptisch leasehold rule of Kipfenberg. The prince monastery of Kempten acquired the goods of the two lords in the course of the 16th century. Gradually the settlement developed into a clustered village. In 1525 there were 30 houses. When it was deserted in 1804, 27 Kemptic and 28 Episcopal estates with houses were named. In 1809 there were 58 houses. Kraftisried has been an independent municipality since 1818.
