history
The area was already settled in the Neolithic , as a find of an arrowhead suggests.
Walter von Luitpoldes and his three brothers were named around 1170 as servants of the Ottobeuren monastery . In 1437 a captain was named for the place, which at that time consisted of an estate. In 1564 Leupolz had 80 residents. The population fell to 42 by 1811.
On August 4, 1984, a hurricane devastated the adjacent forest and also caused considerable damage in the area.
