history
Schlatt was first mentioned in 858 as Slate . In the Middle Ages, the Kyburg - Habsburg Bailiwick of Diessenhofen had jurisdiction over Mett-Oberschlatt. In the 15th century this was taken over by the city of Diessenhofen and exercised until 1798. Before 858 the landowner was the monastery of St. Gallen , from 858 the monastery Rheinau , from the 13th century the monastery of St. Katharinental among others . From 1803 to 1816 the local community Mett-Oberschlatt was a part of the municipal community Diessenhofen.
The St. Niklaus Chapel in Mett-Oberschlatt, which existed from 1316 to 1812, belonged to Stammheim . The independent Schlatt parish was created through the Reformation, which took place in 1529 . This waived a pastor until 1769 and was provided from the end of the 16th century from Basadingen and from 1625 to 1631 from Diessenhofen.
The farming village of Mett-Oberschlatt carried out a property improvement from 1969 . From the 1980s onwards, a number of service companies emerged.

In the two villages of Mett- and Oberschlatt, Dreisässen houses from the 19th century still predominate. The walls of the living area are usually made of half-timbering , which have remarkable symmetries and motifs in the direction of the transoms.
The Türmli, built in 1814, stands on a hill east of the village. In its place was the St. Niklaus Chapel, which was demolished at the same time and was first mentioned in 1316. The two bells from the chapel hang in the roof stalls of the square tower with its original hipped roof.
