history

Rubacker was first mentioned in a document in 1297, but there under the name Rugacker . Elisabeth von Homburg, who had owned the Rugacker farm since 1424, donated a sister collection at an unknown date. A chapel has been attested to this collection since 1436. In 1673 the last sister of the monastery died. Today there is no building of the former Rubacker monastery anymore. In 1972 the municipality of Homberg was merged with other municipalities to form the new municipality of Deggenhausertal.

At the end of the Second World War, two deserted German soldiers were seized by the SS detachment housed in Berggasthof Höchst in a forest near Rubacker, and shortly afterwards they were shot dead in the forest east of Rubacker. In 2004 a memorial stone for the soldiers who were shot was erected at this point.

Up until the move to Bad Saulgau in 2011, there was an addiction clinic for women from the Ziegler institutions , the Hochsten Specialist Hospital, on the Höchst near Rubacker .
