The list of cultural monuments in Leutkirch im Allgäu includes architectural and art monuments in the core town of Leutkirch im Allgäu and in the districts. In addition to the 228 architectural and cultural monuments listed here, there are 15 archaeological cultural monuments from prehistoric and ancient times and 15 cultural monuments of medieval archeology in the city area.

Complete system according to § 19 DSchG

The old town of Leutkirch is also a listed " entire complex " in accordance with Section 19 of the Baden-Württemberg Monument Protection Act. The descriptions of the protected cultural monuments from the “Monument Preservation Value Plan for the entire Leutkirch im Allgäu complex” have largely been adopted in order to underline the importance of the entire complex. The value plan also lists a number of buildings and green spaces that are worth preserving; but these are not included.

Leutkirch im Allgäu has largely been able to preserve its medieval town plan and, with its historical building stock, many of which dates back to the 15th to 17th centuries, offers the image of a small Upper Swabian imperial city, which was shaped by its location on the important trade route Lindau - Augsburg as well as from their large rural catchment area. The towers of the two parish churches and the Bockturm still determine the silhouette of the city, while its inner structure is characterized by the juxtaposition of representative buildings and stately guest houses and townhouses on the central axis of Marktstrasse and in the “spiritual district” to the south-east, as well as simpler, more detailed Development in the western artisan quarter is shaped. Because of this importance, Leutkirch has been a complete facility according to § 19 DSchG since 1980, and there is a special public interest in maintaining it.

Urban history

Becoming a city

The name Leutkirch can be found for the first time in 843 in a document from the St. Gallen monastery, when they exchanged goods in "Liutchirichun". The "Leutekirche", which gave the settlement its name, is documented earlier. 788 a priest Ratpot is mentioned "in ipsa ecclesia nibulgauia". In 797, another St. Gallen certificate was issued in the previous building of today's Martinskirche in Ufhofen im Nibelgau ("in Ufhoua, in Nibelcoge, in atrio sancti Martini"). The nucleus of Leutkirch was probably formed in the 6th / 7th. Ufhofen settlement, which was built in the 19th century, is located in the immediate vicinity of Martinskirche, partly in the area of ​​today's core town or in the area of ​​the Upper Suburb south of it. The Leutekirche St. Martin - mother churches with extensive parishes are known as Leut (e) churches - included around 30 hamlets and villages in the area. Since its residents came to Ufhofen for church services and court days, the place was predestined for the creation of a market. It is believed that the settlement was granted market rights around 1200 by the Nibelau count Hugo von Montfort and thus became not only an ecclesiastical but also an economic center for the surrounding area. The development of the market settlement into a fortified city took place in the course of the 13th century. The name “in burgo Liukirch”, handed down for the year 1239 in a contract in which border disputes between the monasteries of Kempten and Isny ​​were settled, suggest that Leutkirch already had a city fortification at that time or that it was at least under construction. With the granting of Lindau city rights in 1293 - two years after the Counts of Montfort had sold Leutkirch together with the County of Zeil to King Rudolf von Habsburg - the process of becoming a city was completed.

Development into an imperial city

In 1293 the people of Leutkirch were first referred to as “cives”, that is, citizens of a fortified and protected city. In 1295 an ammann and in 1311 a council of the city is proven. In 1336, Leutkirch was freed from foreign courts by Ludwig the Bavarian and thus directly under the Empire. In 1347 Leutkirch became a member of the Swabian Association of Cities, and in the following year the city received an important source of income with the customs rights for all vehicles and goods on the busy Reichsstraße. However, Leutkirch did not succeed in acquiring its own territory, as the city was almost entirely enclosed by the Landvogtei. In 1397, the high jurisdiction finally passed to the mayor and the city council, who from 1407 spoke justice in the newly built town hall on Gänsbühl. Leutkirch now had all the rights of a free imperial city. The town, which emerged from the market settlement at the foot of the Leutekirche in the course of the 13th century, developed on both sides of the road leading from Isny ​​to Memmingen, the course of which is marked by Marktstrasse. To this day, the expansion and structure of the core city of the 13th / 14th Century clearly legible in the city plan. In the east, parts of the city wall and the trench in front of the powder tower trace the slope of the Wilhelmshöhe. At the northeast corner of the city, at the Viehmarktplatz, the city wall turned to the west and then described a wide arc to meet the Powder Tower again at the southeast corner.

Neighborhoods and suburbs

The inner structure of the city has also largely been preserved to this day. In the southeast corner - in the vicinity of the Martinskirche - a "spiritual quarter" with chaplain houses, the Franciscan convent and the Hl. Geist Spital arose. To the south of the church was the cemetery, which was moved in front of the city in the middle of the 16th century. The administrative and economic center of Leutkirch emerged further north on the widening of Marktstrasse to the city's central square, the Gänsbühl. The stately townhouses and inns of the wealthy Leutkirch people line up on Marktstrasse and Gänsbühl (referred to as “Markt” until the early 19th century). The western half of the city, through which the open city stream flows, became the preferred place of residence and work for the less well-off craftsmen.

In addition to the Upper Suburb on the road to Isny, which grew out of the village of Ufhofen and adjoins the city center to the southeast, Leutkirch also had a second suburb. The Lower Suburb, first mentioned in the archives in 1350, which stretched north of the city on the road to Memmingen, also goes back to an older settlement. The village "Mittelhofen", which was built in the 19th century. Both primeval villages, which have always remained unpaved, have retained their rural character for centuries. For the citizens of the city center - who mostly also ran (part-time) agriculture - canvas production and trade became by far the most important branch of the economy. The tax lists from 1590 to 1610 indicate that 200–250 of the total of 450–500 Leutkirch tradesmen made their living as linen weavers.

Reformation and the Thirty Years War - economic decline

After the (late) introduction of the Reformation in 1546, a contract signed in 1562 between the city and the abbot of Weingarten as patron saint of the parish church and later renewed several times secured the rights of Catholics. Martinskirche remained a parish church for the Catholic minority (the council only allowed 25 old-believing families in the city) and for the Upper Austrian Catholic villages of the Landvogtei, which were parish after Leutkirch. The Protestant citizens initially used the hospital church as a place of worship until 1613–1615 they were given their own church in the form of the Holy Trinity Church, which was built in place of a few town houses on the west side of the city - the first new Protestant church in the Allgäu in Württemberg.

In the first half of the 17th century, the Thirty Years' War, which was connected with two plague epidemics, income and looting by the Swedish troops, caused a clear turning point in the (economic) life of the city. At the end of the war the number of citizens had fallen from 450 to 184 and the linen trade, which was previously so important as the main source of income, had declined sharply. While around 5000 pieces of canvas were exported when the war broke out in 1618, only 300 pieces were exported in 1653. As a result, the Turkish and French Wars as well as the War of the Spanish Succession with its sieges and high contribution payments intensified the economic decline and high debt of the city. So it is not surprising that the construction industry was limited to repairs or replacement of the buildings destroyed in the war, especially in two fires in the "Lower (northwest) city" in 1630 and 1729. The only major construction project was the new construction of the town hall (1742) instead of the previous building from the early 15th century, which structurally manifested the pride and claim of the Free Imperial City.

Wuerttemberg upper official city 1810

In the Napoleonic Wars Leutkirch lost its imperial immediacy in 1802 and fell first to Bavaria and then in 1810 to Württemberg. As an administrative and commercial center, it received important central local functions for the newly created Württemberg Oberamt Leutkirch and experienced a significant economic boom as an administrative and economic center. In 1843 the description of the Oberamt Leutkirch reports: “The main source of food for the inhabitants flows from agriculture in connection with cattle breeding. Over two thirds of the citizens have their own fields, even if in some cases to a limited extent. [...] Leutkirch has no industrial trades, but almost all of the ordinary professions that provide the city and the surrounding area with their needs. Incidentally, the tendency towards field economics is not conducive to a greater flourishing of industry. The most numerous, but also in part the poorest tradesmen, are the linen weavers. From a very significant height of the flowering in past centuries, this industry and the associated trade sank deeply here, as in neighboring Isny, Memmingen and others. "

Expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries

Until the middle of the 19th century, the city maintained its medieval borders. In addition to the partial demolition of the city fortifications in the first quarter of the 19th century, there were three fires (1797, 1842 and 1864) that decimated the historical building stock, especially in Evangelische Kirchgasse, on Marktstrasse and Gänsbühl as well as on Werkhausgasse. With a connection to the railway network, Leutkirch experienced a considerable boom in the 1870s and 1880s as an administrative and economic center that was now easily accessible. Now the expansion of the city began beyond the borders of the medieval wall ring. After the connection to the railway line to Memmingen, a new city district with public buildings, such as the post office (1890/91), the district court (1880), was built between the newly built station, the railway tracks and the city on former meadows and pastures, the forestry office (1902), the tax office (1904) and the Protestant rectory (1895) as well as apartments for civil servants and railway workers. There were also larger businesses on the railway line: Neuner's factory for agricultural machines (1876), Roth printing works (1888), Carl Edelmannm forest nursery (1902), warehouse of the agricultural cooperatives (1912), Peter and Son sawmill (1920), Zenith fiberboard plant AG (1936).

The boundaries of the city were pushed far forward in the 1920s and increasingly after the Second World War with the construction of new residential areas and suburban settlements. The number of inhabitants increased from 3383 in 1900 to 6811 in 1960. After the administrative reform in 1973, in which the communities Diepoldshofen, Friesenhofen, Gebrazhofen, Herlazhofen, Hofs, Reichenhofen, Winterstetten and Wuchzenhofen merged with the city of Leutkirch, the population exceeded the limit of 20,000 and Leutkirch received the status of a large district town.

Until the 1960s, there were only minor changes to the existing buildings in the historic old town, but then the demolition of the new building - an important Renaissance building erected around 1600 as a house of the canvas show east of the town hall - and the construction of the Bolkart department store on Evangelical Kirchgasse tore gaps in the grown cityscape. However, when it was included in the federal and state urban redevelopment program at the end of the 1970s, it was designated as a complete facility (1980) and a large part of Leutkirch's historic buildings was protected with the help of an old town charter. Not only important public buildings such as the Spital (city building office), the Bock building (city museum), the Franciscan monastery (senior citizens' living quarters), the Kornhaus (city library and gallery) and the Gothic House (tourist information, VHS), but also numerous Private houses could be renovated. New construction projects - above all the redesign of the Salzstadel area near the Evangelical Church - were adapted in their design to the historic cityscape.

In 1824, the printer Josef Rauch opened a printing press in the old Protestant parsonage and from 1826 onwards he printed the “intelligence paper” for the Oberamt Leutkirch, the first Leutkirch newspaper.

The rectory, which dates back to the 15th century, has not only documentary and exemplary value as one of the oldest preserved buildings in the city, but also for church history. Since the "spiritual quarter" around the Catholic parish church of St. Martin in the southeast of the old town remained the religious center for the Catholic minority in the city and the large bailiwick even after the introduction of the Reformation in 1546, a new church for the Protestants in the west of the City to be built and a nearby house to be set up as a rectory.

The Evangelical parish church of St. Trinitatis is of great documentary value for the history of the town and church in Leutkirch and the western Allgäu. Since the old Leutekirche St. Martin remained parish church for the Old Believer minority in the city and the large Catholic bailiwick even after the introduction of the Reformation in 1546, the first Protestant church was built in Leutkirch in 1613–1615 in the Catholic Oberland. In addition, the tower of the Dreifaltigkeitskirche together with the tower of the Martinskirche and the Bockturm characterize the vertical city silhouette of Leutkirch to the highest degree.

Fountain system
Fountain system Martin-Luther-Platz Neo-Gothic cast-iron fountain system, box fountain with four tubes, octagonal basin with tracery ornamentation, neo-Gothic column with Landsknecht figure, manufactured in the F. Kuhn iron foundry in Stuttgart-Berg in 1867 and erected on the Gänsbühl near the town hall as a city fountain, moved to the forecourt of the Evangelical Church in 1971.

The fountain, which was moved from its central location by the town hall on Gänsbühl to Martin-Luther-Platz in 1971, is an important testimony to Leutkirch's historical water supply. He recalls that until the construction of a high-pressure water pipeline in 1895, the population had to rely on the public wells, which were fed from sources outside the city whose water was drawn off with dyke pipes. In addition, the cast-iron fountain is evidence of the flourishing art of casting and the resumption of Gothic design in the 19th century.

Kornhaus, today the city library Kornhausstrasse 1 Three-story, gable-independent plastered building, once open pillar arbor on the ground floor, two-story half-timbered bay windows in the east and covered external stairs to the upper floor in the west, gable roof; Built in 1508/09 (dendrochronologically dated), after 1930 the granary was closed, then the warehouse of the Raiffeisen cooperative, used as a granary during World War II, later stood empty and in 1963 was in a dilapidated condition, in 1965/67 it was converted into a local museum, inner wall shell made of half-timbered (rotten wood) replaced by hollow brick masonry, window openings and windows completely renewed, bay window and staircase newly attached, all interior walls new (in the old

The stately Kornhaus has exemplary, documentary and urban development value as a special building that is remarkable for Leutkirch, which decisively shapes the market square that was created with the demolition of the “Gasthaus Schatten” (Marktstrasse 29) in 1938. The Kornhaus is not only one of the structural dominants of the core city, it also reminds of the rich city's stockpiling and the economic past. Even after the dairy industry was introduced in the Westallgäu around the middle of the 19th century, it remained an important transshipment point for the grain trade well into the first half of the 20th century.

Regardless of its modern, redesigned ground floor, the stately building has a high exemplary and documentary value as one of the essentially late medieval / early modern guest houses and town houses on Leutkircher Kornhausstrasse and Marktstrasse and testifies to the demanding bourgeois building in the most important location. In addition, it is urban planning evidence for the establishment of numerous shops along the Leutkirch main axis in the 19th and 20th centuries. Like many other commercial buildings in the city center, it is a reminder that after difficult times in the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries and the decline in canvas production after the transition to the Kingdom of Württemberg and the connection to the railway network in the 1870s, Leutkirch was considered to be The administrative and economic center took off considerably.

Regardless of its more recent remodeling, the building, which basically dates back to the 17th century, has urban significance as one of the former tanner's houses characteristic of Leutkircher Gerbergasse (to which this part of Kornhausstrasse previously belonged). It is reminiscent of Leutkirch's social topography, because while in the eastern part of the city around the central street axis of Marktstrasse primarily the wealthier citizens and innkeepers settled, mainly craftsmen lived and worked in the area between Bachstrasse and the western city wall, through which the open city stream flows.

a panel with Adam and Eve, which hung between the windows until around 1950 and was repainted in 1984.

The two stately buildings of the "Golden Crown" have high exemplary and documentary value as a late medieval / early modern inn on Leutkircher Kornhausstrasse and testify to the demanding bourgeois building in the most important location. As an inn in a typical location in the center of the city between Gänsbühl and Kornhaus, the "Goldene Krone" is also an example of Leutkirch's economic history and social topography.

The building is of documentary value as the northern prelude to the series of late medieval / early modern town houses on the northeast side of Leutkircher Marktstrasse at the former lower gate. Especially with its later changes, it is also evidence of the establishment of numerous shops along the Leutkirch main axis in the 19th and 20th centuries. Like many other commercial buildings in the city center, it is a reminder that after difficult times in the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries and the decline in canvas production as a result of the connection to the railway network in the 1870s and 1880s, Leutkirch became a considerable administrative and economic center Took off.

City fortifications - remains of walls and towers Gänsbühl, Gerberstrasse, Marienplatz, Marktstrasse, Oberer Graben, Schneegasse, Untere Grabenstrasse The city fortifications of Leutkirch date from the time the city became a city in the late 13th and early 14th centuries and enclosed the entire old town center in an oval flattened at the foot of Wilhelmshöhe. The wall procession had three city gates, of which the Unteres and Oberes Tor secured the city entrances to the central street axis, Marktstrasse, while the Nannenbacher Tor on the west side of the city provided access to the

surrounding agricultural land. The city wall, together with the moat in front of it, was sold to private individuals from 1804 during the great “Reichsstadtausverkauf” to reduce the city's debt burden. The moat was later filled and partially built over. Large parts of the city wall and the three city gates in the north, west and east of the city were subsequently torn down. Today, larger remains of the city wall (some with a moat) have been preserved on the southeast corner of the city near the Powder Tower, on the east side between Gänsbühl and Viehmarktplatz and in the area of ​​the Evangelical City Church.

The preserved remains of the city wall with the moat area, which is still clearly visible in several places in the city plan, the powder tower and the trestle tower are essential elements of the city's foundation in the late 13th century and have a high documentary value for the city's shape and history. In addition, the trestle tower, together with the towers of the two parish churches, has a decisive influence on the outer city skyline.

The church, surrounded by a defensive wall, is located on the north-eastern edge of the village, on a small hill above the Wurzacher Ach . Immediately outside the southern wall is the former Widdumhof with tithe barn , today's town hall of Unterzeil.

The church is a single nave nave with a tower protruding to the west and buttresses . The builder is probably the same one who built the neighboring much larger church of St. Martin in Leutkirch, which was laid in 1514.

In 1612 the collegiate church of St. Maria was completed in Schloss Zeil . Since then, St. Magnus has been a branch church of St. Maria. After destruction during the Thirty Years' War , the tower was given an onion roof in the years 1684 to 1690, in keeping with the fashion of the time. In 1828 the church and tower burned down completely. During the reconstruction it got its present appearance, with the octagonal helmet resting on an octagonal floor with corner pilasters.

Schloss Zeil is the residence of the descendants of the princes of Waldburg-Zeil . The 752  m high location of the castle on a terminal moraine from the Ice Age was already settled in the Hallstatt period. In the Middle Ages a small castle was built by the Waldburg Truchess , which was demolished in 1598. The present four-wing palace was built in the Renaissance style from 1599 to 1614 under the head of the groom Froben von Waldburg-Zeil . He had already had a church and a monastery built beforehand. The surrounding gardens from the Renaissance period were adapted to the taste of the respective time in the Baroque, 19th and 20th centuries, but changed again in the spirit of the Renaissance since the 1930s.
