history

The name Leupolz was first mentioned in 1394 in connection with a monastery estate. However, the Romans already entertained under the commanders Drusus and Tiberius around the year 15 BC. In Leupolz, near number 63, a watchtower, from which the road from Cambodunum (Kempten) over the Lindenberger Ösch, past the Lerpscher Hof and the Lenzfrieder Gottesacker via Leupolz in the direction of Memmingen - Augsburg was protected.

The improvement in living conditions, which could not be achieved in the peasant uprisings that have taken place again and again since 1525, was achieved after decades through the desolation of the farms on a private basis. Leupolz was deserted in 1800, which is to be understood as a kind of land consolidation.

The village of Leupolz belonged to the Hauptmannschaft Lenzfried . In 1811 the area was added to the city of Kempten. With the municipality edict of 1818, the area became part of the new municipality of Sankt Mang .

According to an index from 1840, Leupolz had 20 houses with 100 “souls”.

In 1921 a source for the communal water supply was developed. Until then, the households had largely supplied themselves with drinking water independently.

Since 1972, Leupolz has belonged to Kempten through the incorporation of Sankt Mang .
