geography

Leeder is about two kilometers west of the Lech on a wide gravel terrace, which is bordered by an old moraine in the east. Federal road 17 , which here belongs to the Romantic Road , runs between Seestall and Leeder .

history

In Roman times, the Via Claudia Augusta ran here , which is now a cycle path and is signposted. Leeder, which was founded by Franconia probably in the 8th century as a defensive village to protect the Swabian hinterland from Bavarian attacks. It is believed that the place name comes from the Flemish “Lethe” - “Lede”, d. H. artificial watercourse derives. Leeder was initially settled by Flemings who ran the Schmiedbach through the town.

In 1401 Friedrich von Freyberg bought Leeder, whose descendants were local lords until 1497 and sold the village to the Augsburg merchant and mayor Sigmund Gossembrot . After his death in 1508, Leeder passed into the possession of his son-in-law Ulrich Rehlinger , who was also mayor of Augsburg. Rehlinger introduced the Protestant faith in Leeder in 1527. In 1595 Jakob Fugger bought the place for 62,000 guilders, reinstated a Catholic priest and had the church consecrated again as a Catholic.

1661 bought the Bishopric of Augsburg the location of the Fugger and directs the Pflegamt a Leeder, which places Denklingen , Welden , Lengenfeld includes the hamlets and Krähmoos, Hohenwart and Lech mills. Above today's church there was a castle, which together with the Martinsbrunn summer residence, which was mentioned in 1552 and which is located on today's Dreiweiherweg, fell into disrepair after secularization and was auctioned off for demolition. In 1905, between the new cemetery and the “Almhütte” at the former sports field, wall remains made of mortar-bonded field stones were found, which are assigned to the castle fortifications at that time. The market law of the place was first mentioned in 1568 and documented in 1807. It allows two grocer and cattle markets annually. The grocer's markets are still held on Sundays in May and in autumn along the town's main street.

Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the secularization of 1803, the entire area of ​​the current municipality of Fuchstal has belonged to Bavaria, until the regional reform, the market Leeder belonged to the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia .

In 1961 the market Leeder had a community area of ​​2156.22 hectares , 1059 inhabitants and consisted of the places Leeder, Aschthal , Engratshofen , Krämoos , Moosmühle , Sägmühle , Schäfmoos , Welden , Weldermühle and Wildbad .

Today's municipality of Fuchstal was created in 1972 as part of the regional reform from the merger of the municipalities of Asch, Markt Leeder and Seestall, but without Krähmoos , which went to Oberostendorf . In 1978 the communities of Fuchstal and Unterdießen merged to form the Fuchstal administrative community .

Attractions

Only a few old buildings have survived in Leeder - the palace, the Martinsbrunn pleasure palace located a little outside the village on today's Dreiweiherweg and other stately buildings fell into disrepair after secularization and were later auctioned off "for demolition". The tavern (today: Gasthaus Luitpold), which was mentioned in the 16th century, and the stately barn with a partially preserved enclosure wall opposite, which today houses business premises, have been preserved.
