After the monastery fell into disrepair in the 16th century, the village belonged to different landlords, each for a short time before the Bishop of Neutra gave it to the Camaldolese as a gift in 1704 . After the dissolution of all monasteries in the whole Kingdom of Hungary in 1782, the inhabitants emigrated; four years later, the deserted place was repopulated by Württemberg settlers, hence the name Oberschwaben . In 1828 there were eight houses and 82 residents who were mainly employed in agriculture.
