history

Leupolz was first mentioned in 1229 as Lvpoltes , but it already existed in the 8th / 9th. Century Lords of Lupoltes as ministerials of the St. Gallen monastery . In 1411 the Leupolz dominion was combined with the Praßberg dominion. The descendants of the Lords of Leupolz and Praßberg sold the area in 1721 to the Barons of Westernach , who sold it to the Truchsessen von Waldburg in 1749 . Since then the area has belonged to the Vogtei Kißlegg. The high jurisdiction lay with the Landvogtei Swabia . In 1806 the area came to Württemberg. There were initially two communities, Leupolz and Praßberg, which were combined to form the municipality of Praßberg in 1819, before it was renamed Leupolz in 1883. Both settlements and their surrounding area belonged to the Oberamt Wangen . Leupolz was incorporated into the city of Wangen im Allgäu on June 1, 1973 as part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg . During the incorporation, the residential areas Bayums, Becken, Bertlings, Bietenweiler, Hub, Reute, Ried and Siggen were moved to Kißlegg .

The castle Leupolz , the former landmark of Leupolz is in ruins since the 17th century.
