history
The place name Schmalegg was first mentioned in 1148 as Smalunekke , around 1152 as Smaluneko , and in 1242 as Smalnegge . As early as 1244, next to Schmalegg Castle of the ministerial family of the Lords of Schmalegg, a suburbium is mentioned, which was presumably located on the site of today's village.
Via the Counts of Werdenberg , the place came to the imperial city of Ravensburg in 1413 and was a bailiwick of the imperial city until 1802. On January 29, 1677, Ravensburg pledged the rule and Vogtei Schmalegg for an initial amount of 25,000 florins, later an additional 11,000 florins for 20 years to the Weingarten monastery and redeemed Schmalegg again in 1697.
In 1802, with the mediatization of the imperial city of Ravensburg , the place came first to the Kingdom of Bavaria , then in 1810 to the Kingdom of Württemberg . In 1826 the municipality of Schmalegg was formed from the main town of Schmalegg and the surrounding residential areas within the Ravensburg Regional Office. On January 1, 1972, Schmalegg was incorporated into Ravensburg as part of the community reform.
politics
As the “residential district of Schmalegg”, the village is one of the 32 Ravensburg municipal councils. This is chosen in a " false sub-location ".
The local council of Schmalegg has 10 members. A city official appointed by the municipal council in agreement with the local council acts as the mayor and chairman of the local council. The responsibilities of the local council result from the main statute of the city of Ravensburg.
The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen (GRÜNE) and independent elected officials are represented in the local council.
coat of arms
The community of Schmalegg had a coat of arms from 1951 to December 31, 1971, which shows a double hook based on the medieval coat of arms of the Lords of Schmalegg and two elongated "upper corners", which symbolize the place name as "narrow corners". The coat of arms has not been used officially since it was incorporated into Ravensburg. However, it is still used unofficially by the village of Schmalegg.
Description of coat of arms : A black double hook in gold, raised by a right and left black upper corner .
