The list of cultural monuments in Isny ​​im Allgäu includes architectural and art monuments of the city of Isny im Allgäu , which are recorded in the " Directory of immovable architectural and art monuments and objects to be examined " of the State Office for Monument Preservation Baden-Württemberg . This directory is not public and can only be viewed if there is a “legitimate interest”. The following list is therefore not exhaustive. It is essentially based on the published monument conservation value plan, in which buildings and green spaces that are worth preserving are also listed. These are also included in this list.

Urban history

Becoming a city

View of Isny ​​in the Allgäu

There is no evidence of settlement continuity starting from the Roman fort Vemania near Isny-Burkwang in the urban area of ​​today's Isny. Previous settlements from the Celtic or Alemannic times are also unknown. The first traces of settlement can only be found again from the 11th century. Isny was formerly a parish of Rohrdorf , today a district of Isny ​​about 5 kilometers northeast of the city, where a parish church had already been located in Franconian times. Around the year 1040, Count Wolfrad von Altshausen-Veringen founded a church in "villa Ysinensi", which was consecrated in December 1042 by the Constance Bishop Eberhard to St. George. This church consecration is also the first documented mention of the town of Isny. There are different theses about naming. The oldest known city coat of arms shows a horseshoe, which is why the name Isny ​​is supposed to be derived from Isen (i.e. iron). A document from 1171 speaks of the Ysenach brook, which suggests the thesis that today's Ach was originally referred to as Eisen-Ach. This first church, consecrated in 1042, stood in the area of ​​today's Catholic parish church of St. George and James. Count Wolfrad's foundation was expanded by his son by having a monastery built next to the church and handing it over to the Hirsau Benedictine monks in 1096 , who then took care of the management of the new monastery. In 1189, Emperor Barbarossa donated the Rohrdorf parish to the up-and-coming Isny ​​Monastery, making Isny ​​the ecclesiastical center of the region and from now on it was probably its own parish. For this purpose, the abbot had a market church built for the population next to the monastery church of St. George, which was consecrated to St. Nicholas .

Isny now became the seat of a rural chapter (deanery) of the Diocese of Constance and was under the Diocese of Constance until 1821. As early as the 12th century, village structures with craftsmen and merchants had developed around the monastery, and from 1171 the abbot and the lordship built the small town into a market settlement as planned. In the course of the 13th century, urban structures increasingly developed. In 1238 Isny ​​is already mentioned as "civitas" and in 1255 "cives" is reported. 1257 Isny ​​is referred to as "burgum", which speaks for a fortified place. During this time of the gradual development of the city, the Counts of Altshausen-Veringen lost more and more power and property in the Allgäu and finally had to pledge their rule Isny ​​to the Truchsesse von Waldburg around 1250 . At the instigation of Heinrich von Isny, the market settlement was given the rights and freedoms of the city of Lindau by King Rudolf von Habsburg in 1281 . So Isny ​​had officially become a town and was now - if it had not been around since the middle of the 13th century - surrounded by a fortification of walls, gates and ditches.

Imperial city 1365

The theft, a remnant of the city fortifications

Only a few years after the city was elevated, a great conflagration devastated the monastery, the two churches and two thirds of the city in 1284. In the same year, under Heinrich von Brunow, the reconstruction of the monastery and the two churches began, which were consecrated in 1288 by Bishop Konrad von Toul . To what extent the oval city plan with its distinctive street cross and the four city gates already existed at that time, or whether it was only created through readjustments and expansions in the 14th century, has not yet been clearly clarified. In 1306, the bailiff's rights over the town and monastery were completely transferred to the Truchsessen von Waldburg. In 1365, the Isnyer citizens bought for 9,000 pounds Heller of their Vogt Men and been through confirmation in the same year of Emperor Charles IV. Under the " imperial cities included". The monastery felt the new self-image of the young imperial city in 1379. This year the city allowed itself to burn down buildings belonging to the monastery and around the city, allegedly because they would be dangerous for the security of the city if an enemy were approaching. When the monastery complained to the emperor, the area of ​​the former cattle pasture (northeast of the city) was assigned to the monastery so that the members of the monastery could settle here again.

From this the Catholic, later Isny-Vorstadt emerged along today's Kastellstrasse. Although there is no exact evidence, it can be assumed that a small settlement outside the city wall in the area of ​​the three mills developed quite early on. In the contract of 1171, two newly built mills on the Ach are mentioned. The lower mill (Seidenstrasse 43, new building 1976) was probably built during this time and, according to the inscription, was rebuilt in 1545. Outside the Espantore, there could have been smaller courtyards here as early as the late Middle Ages. Whether the other mill in the 12th century meant the Obere or the Bruckmühle cannot be clearly stated. The Obere Mühle (Kastellstrasse 17, demolished in 1966) is documented from 1439, the Bruckmühle (Burgplatz 3, demolished in 1992) probably already existed in the 13th century. A village settlement, the Wassertor- or Färbervorstadt, which is mentioned as early as 1290 and had its own gate (Eschertor, demolished in 1811), developed in its surroundings from the 13th century. The remaining suburbs (the Obertorvorstadt in the southwest and the Bergtorvorstadt in the southeast) probably emerged gradually in the 17th and 18th centuries. Century. In 1381 the imperial city of Isny ​​gave itself its own guild constitution . The most important branch of the economy and the basis for prosperity was the textile industry and, in particular, the linen trade . The citizens of the city were involved in the Ravensburger trading company and maintained contacts in all European countries. In the 19th century, numerous weavers' houses still testify to this former main source of income. In 1507 Isny ​​received the right to mint and was now allowed to mint its own money.

There were often disputes between the monastery and the imperial-free city. So it is not surprising that the idea of ​​the Reformation quickly spread in Isny. As early as 1529, Isny ​​took part in the protest action of the evangelical estates in Speyer and thus became a center of the Reformation in the Allgäu. In 1531 Isny ​​joined the Schmalkaldic League and in 1555 the Nikolaikirche was finally handed over to the city and thus to Protestant worship. The monastery itself remained a Catholic convent until 1803. As a result, over the centuries there were repeated clashes between Protestants and Catholics. It was not until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 that there was a clear separation: Protestants “intra muros” and Catholics “extra muros”. The Catholic monastery belonged z. B. two mills in the city as well as the rural settlement on the "Viehweid", which is characterized by craftsmen (especially weavers), which became an independent municipality of "Isny-Vorstadt" at the beginning of the 19th century and which only merged with the city of Isny ​​in 1911.

Fire of 1631

Probably the most drastic event in the history of the city of Isny ​​was a fire on September 15, 1631. After the fire in the oven got out of control for the maid of a baker, 315 of 379 town houses, the town hall, gates and fortifications, the parish church and the monastery burned down. Only the area around Espantorstrasse and Am Stadtbach survived the devastation. In addition to this devastating catastrophe, the looting of the Thirty Years' War , the plague and the decline in the linen trade caused the city's economic decline. Since then, Isny ​​has been heavily in debt. The city was only able to recover slowly in the 18th century and some well-known factories in the textile industry set up shop. However, even in the 18th century, fires were repeated in the city. In 1721 the Blaserturm burned down completely and buildings in Bergtorstraße also fell victim to the fire. In 1727 a large area north of the city wall in the area of ​​today's Kronengasse and the Entenmoos burned down completely. In 1800 a major fire finally followed in the south-western section of Obertorstrasse.

Württemberg country town 1806

Former monastery, converted into a castle

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the city of Isny ​​lost its status as an imperial city. The town and monastery were awarded to Count Otto von Quadt-Wykradt as compensation for the loss of his possessions on the left bank of the Rhine. In 1806 Isny ​​came under Württemberg state sovereignty and initially formed the seat of an upper office itself ; the monastery remained in the hands of the counts and was expanded into a castle until it was finally sold to the city of Stuttgart in 1942. In 1810 Isny ​​was assigned to the Oberamt Wangen . Ecclesiastically, the transition to the Diocese of Rottenburg took place in 1821/28 - with the dissolution of the Diocese of Constance . In the 19th century, the Catholic population also increased sharply in the core town of Isny, which had been purely Protestant from the Reformation until the end of the imperial city period. The Catholics therefore tried to have their own church (the parish church of St. Georg and Jakobus was only responsible for the community of Isny-Vorstadt). The parish of St. Maria was founded in 1888 and in 1903 Bishop von Keppler was able to inaugurate the Marienkirche (Kemptener Straße 5), which was built according to plans by architect Cades by Isny ​​foreman J. Burger. With the affiliation to Württemberg, Isny ​​was now at the extreme tip of the country and directly on the border with Bavaria. Traditional trade routes were cut off, and the salt trade with Austria and Switzerland was lost. Isny tried in vain to be slammed into the Kingdom of Bavaria . The establishment of the Customs Association of Bavaria-Württemberg finally eased the situation . But two city fires in 1864 and 1866 again hampered the rise. Even in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the city was not entirely spared from fires, but mostly only individual buildings were affected, such as the Marktplatz 3 and Wassertorstraße 4 buildings in 1898 or the Gasthaus zum Ochsen (Wassertorstraße 6).

Tourism and health resort

The Catholic parish church of St. Maria from 1903 ( Joseph Cades , Stuttgart)

With the opening of the Herbertingen – Isny ​​railway line in 1874 (closed in 1976) there was another small upswing in the city's development. In 1876 a beautification association and in 1898 the “Association for the Elevation of Tourism” was founded. In 1909 the Kempten – Isny ​​railway line was opened (closed in 1984). In this way the city was able to attract more and more tourists and eventually developed from a textile city to a tourist and health resort. In 1965, Isny ​​received the title of " medicinal climatic health resort ". This also led to the further growth of the city. By the mid-1960s, the first new building area was built in the southwest. In the following decade, several areas in the north, south-east, south and west as well as separated from the city in the east were designated. The last major settlement phase followed in the 1980s. This enabled large industrial and commercial areas to be created, especially in the north and northeast of the city. In 1972 the previously independent communities of Beuren , Großholzleute , Neutrauchburg and Rohrdorf were incorporated. With the dissolution of the district of Wangen, the city became part of the district of Ravensburg in 1973 . Since then, the town of Isny ​​has had the name “im Allgäu”. One last major intervention in the historical urban structure should not go unmentioned here. In 2014 and 2015, several buildings in the area of ​​the so-called Hofstatt were demolished in order to create an urban restructuring here. The so-called redevelopment “southern old town” began in April 2016 and will probably be finished in 2018 or 2019.

Population development

The number of residents and buildings in Isny ​​fluctuates greatly over the centuries due to the numerous city fires and devastation. In 1353, Isny ​​counted 400 dwellings and around 2000 residents according to the episcopal register (Liber Taxationis), making it the second largest city in Upper Swabia after Ravensburg . Around 1500 there are talk of 650 citizens (only adult men) and also for the year 1628 650 taxable citizens are recorded. After the city fire of 1631, in which 315 of 379 buildings were destroyed, the number of citizens is said to have been just under 250. For 1810, 1743 inhabitants are registered in Isny. The primary cadastre from 1830 lists 305 building numbers for the city of Isny ​​and 50 building numbers for the Isny ​​suburb. At that time, around 1900 people lived in the city and suburbs. In the description of the Oberamt Wangen from 1841, 1714 residents in the city are reported for 1832. In 1839 there were said to have been 1881 residents and in 1840 there were at least 1918 residents. There are also 295 Catholic residents of Isny-Vorstadt, which was an independent municipality until 1911. In 1889 the city had 2583 inhabitants (1139 Protestant and 1444 Catholic) and in 1900 the number of inhabitants rose to 2620. In 1933 the city had 3784 and in 1950 it had 5101 inhabitants. From the second half of the 20th century, the population increased significantly. The state statistical office of Baden-Württemberg already recorded 11,720 inhabitants for 1970. In 2000 there were 14,309 inhabitants. In recent years the number of inhabitants has decreased slightly, so that in 2012 there were still 13,186 inhabitants.

Overall layout of the city

Silhouette and floor plan

Vorderkunz: The imperial city of Isny ​​before the fire of 1631

The historical city skyline is particularly impressive to admire from the surrounding hills. A view from the fields dump to the southwest (776 m above sea level) shows the unmistakable shape of the city. As elements that can be seen from afar, the onion domes of the three towers (Blaserturm, towers of the Protestant and Catholic parish churches) and the tower of the parish church of St. Maria set vertical accents above the city. Due to the new development areas, this city silhouette can no longer be seen from a closer perspective. The town plan has been passed down very well in its historical form. Already on the bird chart by Johann Morell from 1664, the plan structure that still exists today with the oval, fortified city layout and the main street intersection dividing the city structure into four quarters can be clearly recognized.

The oval and cross are the basic urban elements. However, both are not realized in a purely geometric form. The wall ring of the oval adapts freely to the topographical conditions. The market square has moved south from the geometric center. The streets are not rigid axes with clear vanishing points, but are slightly curved so that you cannot see from the gates to the market square. The development of the individual street sections is largely closed and not limited by linear building lines in the sense of the 19th century, but in turn broken up into diverse movements. The streets narrow in several places, especially in front of the confluence with the market square. In this way, closed street spaces arise again and again in lively change.

Isny, ecclesiastical district before 1631

The external shape of the historic city plan is very clear as an oval shape. Within this oval, which is framed by city fortifications, two historical settlement focuses can be seen. On the one hand the "spiritual center" with the monastery and the two churches in the northeast and on the other hand the "secular street center" with the market square at the intersection of the main street axes and the structural dominants there: Blaserturm, Hall building and town hall. While the monastic district with the churches has a rather unregulated structure, which is partly oriented towards the east of the two churches and the monastery complex to the south of the monastery church of St. George and James, the secular district has a very clear structure.

Old town structure

The main axis (Obertorstraße - Wassertorstraße) runs through the fortified city center from southwest to northeast. Another main axis (Espantorstraße - Bergtorstraße) runs from northwest to southeast through the historic old town. At the intersection of the two main axes, the street area widens to the south to the market square, which is dominated by the stately hall building and the Blaserturm; Until 1856 there was also a customs house, which was built in the 18th century on the site of the town hall that burned down in 1631. The main axes divide the city oval into four quarters. This structure can be clearly seen on the primary cadastral plan from 1826. It is again noticeable that the two larger quarters (the northern and the eastern) show relatively orthogonal streets and alleys. The two smaller quarters in the south and west, on the other hand, have rather unstructured and seemingly organic alleys and alleys. The reason for this can be found in the great city fire of 1631. Large parts of the city, especially in the northern and northeastern area, were destroyed at that time. During the reconstruction from the middle of the 17th century, wider streets and fire alleys were deliberately created and the plot structure was probably also “straightened”. In the western quarter - in the area of ​​the Stadtbach - the city was largely spared or the damage to the buildings was less, so that the medieval alley and parcel structure may still exist here. In this quarter the city was originally traversed by an open stream. The Krumbach enters the city at the Hofstatt (coming from the Upper Grabenweiher) and is then referred to as the Stadtbach. To the south of the hall building it crosses the market square, then flows past the hospital building, following the street “Am Stadtbach” to the former town mill (Am Stadtbach 21). Today the brook has been banished underground.

City fires

The numerous city fires that hit Isny ​​again and again are formative, both for the city's history and for its shape. Despite these city fires - the most devastating in 1631 - the overall appearance of the city plan remained largely unchanged. From the middle of the 17th century, only a few straightening and widening of the alleys and streets were made. But to this day, isolated gaps caused by the city fire of 1631 are visible in the western and southern districts, although the gaps in the area of ​​the Hofstatt are no longer traceable due to the most recent construction work. What the primary cadastre plan does not yet show is the destruction in the eastern quarter due to the city fires of 1864 and 1866. A reconstruction plan from 1866 shows the extent of the destruction and at the same time the new plans for the reconstruction after 1866. The Hofweg was east, parallel to Wassertorstraße Completely redesigned and thus the previous parcel depth roughly halved. The most stately town houses can be found in the center of the city, in the area of ​​the market square. There are mostly solid masonry and plastered, mostly three-story buildings. Towards the historic outskirts of the city and in the suburbs, however, smaller, mostly only two-storey residential buildings dominate, which are almost always solidly bricked on the ground floor, but have partially plastered half-timbered structures on the upper floor. Unplastered ornamental frameworks are rarely found. Occasionally there are bay windows in front of the facades or building corners of the large patrician houses.

The towers of the two parish churches and the Blaserturm appear as structural dominants. In the city, the city fortifications with larger, still preserved city wall sections and the two city gates (Espantorturm and Wassertorturm) as well as the other towers (Diebsturm, Speicherturm, Mühlturm and Hafendeckelturm) determine the cityscape. Within this fastening oval, there are two focal points characterized by large buildings. On the one hand the "spiritual area" around the former monastery and later castle, and on the other hand the "secular area" around the market square with the dominant buildings of the town hall, hall building and former hospital. While the development within the walled city oval reflects a very urban appearance, in the suburbs and especially along the Kastellstrasse there is an increasing number of utility buildings, barns and arable bourgeois properties.

City fortifications

City wall near the theft storm

There is still no clear answer to the development of the city fortifications. It is possible that a smaller fortification was built as early as the middle of the 13th century and the current oval was only expanded with the elevation of Isny ​​to a city in 1281. There are indications that the city fortifications were gradually expanded. It is also noteworthy that only three of the original four city gates of the core city lead to rural roads and neighboring towns (the water gate to the north towards Leutkirch, the mountain gate to the east towards Kempten and the Obertor to the south-west towards Lindau). The Espantor, first mentioned in 1399, however, leads to the so-called Espan. The Espan is generally a grassy but not very well-kept piece of land that is exempt from cultivation and is owned by the general public. The community used it as a storage, assembly and festival area. Today the former open space of the Espan is called Rain.

Historic green and water areas

Ponds in front of the wall with storage tower

Historic green and water areas are quite common in the area examined. In addition to the course of the Ach with its widening to the Sauweiher, the open space of the former moat area around the oval city wall, which is still almost completely handed down, should be mentioned. A wide variety of green and park areas have been created here in the area of ​​the filled city moat. The ditch has even been preserved in two areas and can be experienced as a water surface (Upper and Lower Grabenweiher). To the east of the city there is also a large landscaped park belonging to the villa of the Princes of Quadt (Herrenberg 26). Within the walled old town of Isny ​​there are no historical bodies of water after the town brook has been demolished. Even green spaces that are worth preserving are only preserved very sporadically, whereby the open spaces in the area of ​​the former monastery are to be emphasized in particular. To the east of Kanzleistraße, part of the former palace garden is listed as a cultural monument.

Social structure

The primary cadastre from 1830 reveals certain social structures and artisan quarters within the city. Along the main axes (Bergtorstraße, Obertorstraße, Wassertorstraße) there were mainly inns and merchants who were able to cater for passing guests. In the Espantorstrasse area, however, there is a part of the urban upper class, such as the city council, pharmacists and respected merchants. Smaller craftsmen such as stoners, joiners and shoemakers lived in the back alleys. In the western quarter at Rossmarkt and especially at Stadtbach there are tanners and textile workers (tailors and weavers). To the north, outside the city wall, was the Wassertor- or Färbervorstadt, which was also increasingly populated by inns along its main axis (Bahnhofstrasse), the extension of Wassertorstrasse. Here you can also find tanners and farriers. The western water gate suburb in the Entenmoos, Kronengasse, Webergasse and Gerbergasse areas is particularly striking. As the last two street names make clear, weavers, tanners and other textile craftsmen were mainly settled here. East of Bahnhofstrasse, especially along Kastellstrasse, was the Catholic suburb (later Isny-Vorstadt), which was subordinate to the monastery. In 1830, in addition to a few craftsmen, you can also find some rural properties in the historic town of Isny ​​for the first time. This historical district formation can no longer be seen so clearly today. The large inns and hotels are still on the main axes, but many craftsmen such as weavers and blacksmiths have disappeared. As mentioned above, Isny ​​has a more or less clear structure in the historical urban fabric, which is based on economic and commercial functions as well as religious and social life.

The “spiritual center” with its religious function can be found on the north-eastern edge of the oval city center. The rest of the city center is inhabited by the middle and upper middle class, with the main axes being determined by the innkeepers and merchants and accordingly dominated by inns and shops. Outside, especially north of the city, mills were established on the course of the Ach stream in the Middle Ages. This is where real “mill districts” and small craft businesses emerged, who primarily lived from the textile trade (weavers, tanners and dyers). The so-called Catholic suburb along Kastellstrasse has remained quite loosely built up to this day and thus still refers to the rural and agricultural character of this area, which was dominated by rural properties until the 19th century.

In line with this clear structure in the urban fabric, there are also various historical special buildings. The enclosed mapping on the primary cadastral plan makes this clear. The historical special buildings naturally represent the two churches and the former monastery (later a castle) in the “spiritual district”. But the Mount of Olives Chapel, which looks rather inconspicuous next to the stately churches, should also be mentioned as an important special building. In addition to its central town hall building, the bourgeois town is characterized by numerous inns. In addition, two pharmacies and some stately merchants' houses dominate the streetscape along the main axes. The center of the street structure is the market square with the Blaserturm, which can be seen from afar. But church institutions such as the former school building in Bergtorstraße, the girls' school (Spitalgasse 9) or parsonages also shape the historic townscape. The structures of the city fortifications are essential for both the outer and inner cityscape and not least for the city plan. Large sections of the northern and southern city walls including their moat areas have been preserved to this day. In addition, the two city gates Espantorturm and Wassertorturm and individual city wall towers. Outside the city wall, only a few special historical buildings are to be mentioned. These include above all the three former mills on the Ach and individual inns on Bahnhofstrasse.

1890 In the northeast area of ​​a green space on the corner of Adlergasse-Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon-Straße there is a memorial for the fallen in the war of 1870/71. A red sandstone stele on a cubic base, bronze appliqués and the lettering “In memory of 1870-71” on the column and a crowning bronze eagle. The monument to the fallen was made in Alpirsbacher red sandstone in 1890 based on a design by Robert Schmohl by the sculptor Teufel. The bronze eagle was cast in Prof. Lenz's ore foundry in Nuremberg. The war memorial was erected on the church square in front of the Mount of Olives. The monument was not given its current location until 1929.

The memorial is an impressive reminder of those who died in the war of 1870/71. There is also evidence of the artistic standards and craftsmanship of that time. The preservation of this document is therefore in the public interest for artistic and, above all, for reasons of local history.

The well-preserved residential building on the eastern edge of the city fire area from 1864 is an example of the reconstruction of this inner-city area, in which the street structure was adapted and widened to the times, but the development was based on the historic plot structures and building cubatures.

At the top with an attic level under a gable roof with two large attic houses. On the western gable with a tooth frieze motif. Probably built at the beginning of the 19th century. 1830 used as a needle factory with wire drawing and water drive by Karl and David Rödel. Recent changes.

Due to its location over a commercial canal and the associated historical use as a needle factory, today's residential building is an important example of the textile industry in Isny, which was increasingly emerging in the 19th century and has been the town's main livelihood since the Middle Ages.

Mid 17th century Three-storey residential building located in a corner and on a slight slope directly on the former Stadtbach. Partly solidly bricked, partly half-timbered and plastered full floors. At the top with two attic levels and a loft under a gable roof. On the southern corner of the building, a two-storey toilet extension. Rebuilt after the town fire of 1631, probably in the middle of the 17th century. Used by white tanners as a residence since 1748. Recent changes.

The very stately residential building in a prominent corner location to the Stadtbach is a vivid example of a largely massive building after the city fire of 1631, which has also underlined the importance of the textile trade (here: tannery) in Isny ​​since the middle of the 18th century.

Artificially indicated corner cuboids on the ground floor. At the top with two attic levels under a gable roof with dormers. Built in the 17th century as a town mill; possibly older at its core. 1834 Conversion to the Springer silk spinning and twisting mill. At the end of the 20th century, it was converted into a museum at the Mühlturm.

As a former town mill, the building is of great urban historical importance. Its use as a spinning and twisting mill is evidence of the important textile industry, which was maintained by companies such as Springer in the 19th century. There is therefore a public interest in the preservation of the building, both for scientific and for reasons of local history.
