history

Until the beginning of the 19th century, the various villages of today's Deggenhausertal municipality belonged to the Landgraviate of Heiligenberg , to the cathedral chapter of Constance and to the Salem monastery . With the secularization and mediatization they fell to Baden .

Deggenhausen
Limpach

After the Lords of Deggenhausen died out, their heirs sold the village to the Bishop of Konstanz , who pledged it with Obersiggingen to the County of Heiligenberg in 1483 and sold it to the County of Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg in 1779 . After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss Deggenhausen went to Baden in 1806, which initially assigned it to the Meersburg District Office in 1813 and later to the Heiligenberg District Office . From 1849 it belonged to the Pfullendorf district office and finally from 1857 to the Überlingen district office , which was added to the Überlingen district in 1938. Since 1952 it has belonged to the newly founded state of Baden-Württemberg .

Homberg

Homberg was first mentioned in a document in 1191. It has always belonged to the Counts of Heiligenberg. In 1806 it came to Baden.

Church in Oberhomberg

Roggenbeuren

Roggenbeuren was first mentioned in a document as early as 860. Prehistoric burial mounds indicate an even earlier settlement. Since the 9th century it has belonged to the St. Gallen monastery . Through the knight Konrad von Schmalegg , Roggenbeuren came to the Konstanz cathedral chapter in 1280. After secularization , the place came to Baden in 1803.

Untersiggingen

Parish Church Urnau

Siggingen (Ober- or Untersiggingen ) was first mentioned in a document as early as 772 . Here, too, prehistoric burial mounds testify to an even older settlement. In 1293 the Salem monastery bought large parts of the community. Via the Überlingen hospital , the town came to the city of Überlingen, which Untersiggingen pledged to the county of Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg in 1779. With the rest of the property it came to Baden in 1806.

Urnau

Urnau was first mentioned in a document in 1094 when it was sold to the All Saints Monastery in Schaffhausen . In the 13th century it came to the Knights of Schmalegg , who sold it to the Salem Monastery in 1303. With the secularization, the entire monastery property and with it Urnau came to Baden in 1803.

Wittenhofen town center
Wittenhofen

Wittenhofen was first mentioned in a document in 1134. The rule was exercised by the Counts of Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg until it came to Baden in 1806.

Incorporations

Until the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg in 1972, Deggenhausen, Homberg, Roggenbeuren, Untersiggingen, Urnau and Wittenhofen were independent municipalities. With effect from January 1, 1972, these were combined with a dozen hamlets and numerous farmsteads to form the municipality of Deggenhausertal. The new municipality briefly belonged to the Überlingen district - like all the communities from which it was formed before - before it became part of the new Lake Constance district through the district reform in 1973 . The town halls of the old parishes were closed with the community reform. The former mayor of Wittenhofen, Alfons Schmiedmeister, became the first mayor. In 1976 so-called dwarf schools with only one or two classes were also closed. The suburb of Wittenhofen became the central control point of the new community: the community center became the town hall, and the primary and secondary school is also located in Wittenhofen. In 1977, Ellenfurt, until then a district of Heiligenberg , was assigned to the village of Deggenhausen.

Population development

Integrated in the Lake Constance district, the community has seen a surge in development, especially in the last 20 years, which can be seen in the 25 percent increase in the number of inhabitants to 4298 (as of December 31, 2010).
