history

Until the church is planted

Berg is first mentioned in 1121 when the Ottobeuren monastery received three courtyards from Kirchberger Ministeriale. The name Memmingerberg appeared as early as 1628, but was not officially introduced until 1838. The red paw cross comes from the coat of arms of Memmingen and shows the close connection to the imperial city. The patronage of the parish church St. Gordian and Epimachus in Memmingerberg suggests that the place was founded in the 9th to 10th centuries. The two saints have only been venerated in the Illergau since the 9th century and are based on an activity of the Kempten Monastery around this time in today's municipal area. The Heilig-Geist-Spital of Memmingen has been wealthy in the municipality since 1320. Around 1500 the lower hospital of Memmingen was the largest landlord. The imperial city of Memmingen exercised the highest jurisdiction in the place since 1548, which was confirmed in 1749. The angel neck jug stands for the place Künersberg, which is located in the municipality. The banker Jakob Küner (1697 to 1764), who was born in Volkratshofen near Memmingen and lives in Vienna , acquired the place from which he gave his name in 1741. While building his mansion, he discovered soil there that was suitable for the manufacture of porcelain. In 1745 he founded a faience factory that existed until 1768. Künersberg faiences were among the best German ceramics of the 18th century. In 1746, Küner received an imperial privilege for the entire Swabian district, and associated with it duty-free for his ceramics. After his death and the bankruptcy of the family, the production of faience in Künersberg was stopped. The lower hospital acquired the place in 1799, which remained in its possession until the secularization in 1803.

The town has belonged to Bavaria since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803. In 1818 the political municipality was established.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the government of Swabia on July 1, 1982.

Blazon : “Split by silver and blue; in front a continuous red paw cross, behind a silver narrow-necked jug with lid. "

The Memmingen hospital has been wealthy in Memmingerberg since 1320; since 1548 (confirmed in 1749) the imperial city of Memmingen exercised the highest jurisdiction in the place. This affiliation to the territory of the imperial city of Memmingen was expressed in the municipal coat of arms through the adoption of the red paw cross from the Memmingen city coat of arms. Within the parish corridor is the place Künersberg, whose name goes back to Jakob von Küner (1697–1764), a pastor's son from Volkratshofen who rose to become an important banker in Vienna and founded a faience factory in Künersberg that existed from 1745 to 1768 and whose products are very much appreciated today. The memory of this faience factory should be kept alive by the narrow neck jug. The silver - blue coloring of the rear field also indicates that it has belonged to Bavaria since the imperial city of Memmingen was mediatized in 1803.

The coat of arms was designed by the Memmingen heraldist Uli Braun.
