history

Church Patrona Bavariae

Based on excavations in 1975, Oberegg can be dated to a settlement from around 1200. The street village was first mentioned in documents in 1773. In the 15th century, the Stain lordship acquired two properties on the Oberen Egg from the Ursberg monastery . The Kempten monastery also owned several farms, which, however , came to the Fuggers through an exchange in 1552 . As a result, the Stain-Ronsberg lordship acquired the entire village. In the gild book of the rulership in 1596/1599 23 farms are recorded. In 1699 the Egger court already spoke of 46 taxable tenants .

The great and grass tithe changed hands quite often. Originally belonging to the Augustinian hermits of Mindelheim , it changed to the rule of Stain due to the Reformation, to which the monastery was converted. The Augsburg cathedral chapter held the grass interest in 1610. This is due to a request from the then Egger pastor Michael Schilling, as he wanted to build a new parsonage warehouse with the money from the grass interest. According to these sources, the Augsburg monastery must have held the great tithe since around 1470. It was handed over to the Mindelheim Jesuits on March 4, 1656 . Once again, when the Mindelheim Jesuit College was dissolved in 1773, the Grand Tenth moved to the Maltese, who took over the college. In 1793, however, the Maltese refused a subsidy towards the construction costs of the new Unteregger rectory, which is why the right to tithe was confiscated on July 20, 1793 by the Augsburg Ordinariate. Thereupon the Mindelheimer Malteser took over two thirds of the total construction costs of 3800 guilders and received the tithe right back on September 14th, 1793. The Ottobeuren monastery bought the property of the Maltese in the village of Oberegg, which were also taken over by the Jesuits, from the Maltese for 35,000 guilders. In the following years, the Ottobeuren monastery also acquired the great tithe and received it until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. The monastery rights in kind that had been in effect until then were converted into monetary rights with the transition to the Kingdom of Bavaria . The replacement by the political municipality founded in 1803 took place on May 29, 1827 for the grass tithe and on November 16, 1849 for the great tithe. The Zehntstadel, which stood opposite the Am Hang settlement , was demolished in 1818 and the property was sold to Gottlieb Fröhlich in 1829.
