history

Until the church is planted

The first known name of the settlement was "Luteraha" from Alemannic ach (Bach) and louder (clear, pure, clean).

Lautrach was first mentioned in a document in 840. One of the oldest knight seats in Swabia was located in the village. The medieval castle stable Altenlauternach had been the seat of Heinrich von Lauternach since 1164. In 1337 he was assigned to the Schellenberg family. The Lords of Landau held it from 1417 to 1609. In 1609 the rule came to the Palatine lords of Muggenthal . During the Thirty Years' War the plague raged in Legau (1628/30). The Swedes invaded in 1632, looted and partially burned the village. In 1641, Count von Muggenthal sold the village to the monastery of Kempten out of necessity . It stayed there until secularization . In 1818 the political municipality was established.

Lautrach Castle

Lautrach Castle

From 1781, the prince abbot von Kempten, Honorius Roth von Schreckenstein , had Lautrach Castle built as a provost's office and hunting lodge as a replacement for the old one that had burned down, over a period of three years. In 1803 Bavaria became the new owner of the castle. In 1805 it was bought by the French Count Firmas-Perier. The castle owes the small theater hall with the valuable hand-printed picture wallpapers from the wallpaper manufacturer Dufour in Paris to him. After Firmas-Perier's death, Baron von Speth bought the castle in 1831. Both castles were acquired by the Catholic priest Josef Deybach in 1838 with the support of Baron Vequel on Kronburg . He and his sister opened an educational institution for higher daughters. In 1840 a boys' institute was opened in the castle. The two institutions became known far beyond the country's borders. In 1889 the Wagner establishments from Dillingen acquired Deybach's legacy. From 1921 to 1931 the new castle was owned by Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe , the polar explorer and inventor of the gyro compass . He wrote to Albert Einstein in a letter:

“(...) Do you already know that I bought a dreamy old castle for the university here in the immediate vicinity of your home, which should primarily be open to all friends from the philosophical faculty. You shouldn't be missing there. We want to go there for the first time next summer, possibly in August, if my work permits. The area is as untraveled by Berliners as it is only conceivable in Bavaria. The castle and grounds are in Lautrach near Memmingen. (...) "

After his death, he bequeathed it to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , which sold it to the Wagner institutes in Dillingen (now the Regens Wagner Foundation ) in 1966 . In 1989 Lautrach Castle was converted into a management center and conference hotel and officially opened in 1993 as the “Lautrach Castle Management Center”. Today it is one of the leading training institutes with its own four-star conference hotel in Germany. The two shareholders are the Chamber of Commerce Swabia and the Kolping Educational Institute in the Diocese of Augsburg.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the government of Swabia on August 11, 1986 .

Blazon : “By a slanted silver wavy bar divided by red and blue; above a left-facing golden deer head, below a narrow, obliquely left silver wave bar. "

Lautrach used to be the center of a rulership that had been owned by various lords since the Middle Ages. Up to the middle of the 14th century, the lords of Lautrach mentioned for the first time in 1239 and belonging to the ministry of the Staufer can be traced. They were followed, among others, by the Lords of Landau from 1417 and, after further inheritance cases, from 1645 until the secularization of 1803, the Prince of Kempten. On the coats of arms of the Lords of Lautrach (a red deer head in silver) and the Lords of Landau (two black deer poles in gold), the deer head is said to refer as a common symbol. The tinging red - blue corresponds to the colors of the prince monastery Kempten. The large wave bar is supposed to symbolize the Iller, the small one the Ach. At the same time, the wavy bars "speak" for the place name Lautrach (settlement on the louder Ach).

The draft and the design go back to the Augsburg Christian Pawlik and the Munich Reinhard Heydenreuter.

flag

The flag is white and red striped with the municipal coat of arms.
