history

Litzelbach was first mentioned in 1216 (1208) as Lucilinbach , Lucilnbach and Lützelbach in a donation of goods. Before 1216, Burkhard von Weckenstein donated the former Lehenshof zu Litzelbach with its fields, meadows and forests to the Cistercian convent of Wald, which he founded . The single farm, which was one of the monastery's first donations, was an imperial estate or Staufer property, probably came from the Pfullendorf estate, which Count Rudolf von Pfullendorf had transferred to Friedrich Barbarossa between 1168 and 1176 , and was already owned by the fiefdom holder Burkard von Weckenstein , an imperial one, before 1216 Ministerials , given to the monastery. First, maybe a grangie ; later cultivated again and again in monastic self-construction. In 1216, 1220 and 1217, Frederick II, son of Henry VII and Pope Honorius III. the monastery the possession of the property.

The court statute issued by Abbess Anna von Reischach in 1474 shows the Wald monastery as the lower court and local rule over Litzelbach. Since the first half of the 16th century, the village of Otterswang, together with Kappel , Litzelbach, Weihwang and Reischach, formed the Otterswang judicial and administrative district. The high authority lay with the county of Sigmaringen . Wald gained local authority before 1600.

Litzelbach was part of the monastic rule of forest. During the secularization due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the monastery was dissolved in 1806 and the forest territory fell to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . Until 1850 Litzelbach belonged to the Hohenzollern (until the abolition in 1861 to the Prussian) Oberamt Wald . In 1862 it was incorporated into the Oberamt and, from 1925, into the Sigmaringen district.

Litzelbach belonged to the independent municipality of Otterswang and was incorporated into the city of Pfullendorf on July 1, 1972.
