history

The wasteland goes back to a court founded in 1738 and, like the surrounding towns, belonged to the Ronsberg lordship of Schönau zu Stein. After their division, the place came to the Kempten Monastery under Prince Abbot Engelbert von Syrgenstein around 1749 , in whose possession and jurisdiction it remained until the secularization in 1803. The wasteland is also known as Lausbichl and Zechbüchel, going back to a weaver Josef Zech, who settled there in 1814.

Under canon law Lausbihl belonged to the parish of Baisweil.

The place name could go back to the Old High German Luz (Loos) or to the Alemannic Luß (Lauer auf Wild) and denotes a hill ( Bihl or Bichel ).

According to an Allgäu legend, there was once a small witch's hill on site.
