Before 1821, private individuals had to hand in their mail at the Stockach post office themselves. Then the establishment of an official messenger establishment made it possible for private individuals to hand over their mail to an official messenger. Initially, he brought the post to the Stockacher Post Expedition twice, later three times a week. In the 1850s, due to the steadily increasing correspondence, the Amtbotenanstalt was abolished, its services were transferred to the post office and on May 1, 1859 the rural postal authority was brought into being. Among other things, the following messenger district was set up in the Stockach district:
