history

Until the church is planted

Schwabsoien is first mentioned in a document in 1249. The name "-soien" ( Sewen, Soya, Soyen, Soien ) refers to lakes that no longer exist. A lake mentioned in 1589 has silted up. From 1423 there was a customs post; the customs were taken in favor of the city of Schongau after Augsburg merchants tried to bypass the customs for their wagons in Schongau by a detour via Schwabsoien. Until 1785 the place belonged to the bishopric Augsburg . It was exchanged for the Munich Rent Office and the Schongau Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In 1818 today's community was established.

19th and 20th centuries

In 1823 a fire destroyed most of the town. From 1866 to 1925 Schwabsoien was a post office on the Kaufbeuren – Schongau route (“Zur Post” inn).
