history

Scheppach had been part of the Habsburg family since the middle of the 13th century . In 1301 it became part of the Upper Austrian margravate of Burgau and fell to Bavaria in the Peace of Pressburg (1805) . From 1370 to 1477 the place was pledged to the Knöringer .

Post station Scheppach

Since 1549 there was a post office in Scheppach on the Dutch postal route from Brussels via Augsburg to Innsbruck , Trient and Italy, as the successor to the dissolved post office in Roßhaupten . The Scheppach postman Joseph de Calepio, documented since 1568, was one of the spokesmen for the postman's strike in the late 16th century due to payment arrears and in the later negotiations with the Brussels postmaster general Leonhard I. von Taxis .

Church formation and dissolution

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the political community of Scheppach was created in 1817 with the Second Community Edict. It existed until the municipal reform of the 1970s and consisted of the core town of Scheppach and the districts of Allerheiligen , Scheppachermühle and Unterwaldbach . On January 1, 1970, the community of Jettingen-Scheppach was founded through the voluntary amalgamation of the communities of Scheppach and Jettingen .
