history

Schlingen is the oldest place within the Bad Wörishofen urban area: Schlingen was first mentioned in a document in 897, but the place may have been founded at the end of the 5th century. Burial mounds from the Hallstatt period and row graves of the Alemannic settlers as well as numerous finds from the time of the Cord Ceramics , from the Bronze Age , from the Iron Age and from the time of the Romans indicate that the area was inhabited very early. The Roman road from Augsburg to Bregenz ran through the Schlingen area.

Since the founding of the Irsee Monastery in 1180, donations from Schlingen have flowed there. In 1363 the Irsee monastery received the Maierhof as a Seelgerät and around 1530 it was acquired by the village court of Schlingen. At that time, only a few goods in slings belonged to other rulers. The church set was initially held by the Ronsberg rulers and was then sold to the Kempten and Ottobeuren monasteries . When the monastery was abolished in the course of secularization , the Bavarian state took control of Schlingen.

The hamlet of Frankenhofen has belonged to Schlingen since the municipal edict of 1818 . In 1840 425 inhabitants were registered in Schlingen. On July 1, 1972, the community was incorporated into the city of Bad Wörishofen as part of the state-wide regional reform. The last mayor before incorporation was Anton Satzger (1966–1972). In 2015 Schlingen had 719 inhabitants.
