history

The name Steinheim (in the Swabian dialect "Stoihoi"), which appears in the oldest property register of the Ottobeuren monastery , probably comes from a Roman milestone that protruded from the field on the old Roman road from Cambodunum to Kellmünz . The first traces of settlement can already be made out around 600 AD. The place was first mentioned in a document in 764. Since then the village has been owned by the Ottobeuren monastery . In the early 13th century the place came to the rule of Eisenburg as a fiefdom of the emperor . In 1448 the Unterhospitalstiftung Memmingen, which was subordinate to the city , bought him . Steinheim was thus in the possession of the free imperial city . The village was probably already a parish in 972 and became Evangelical Lutheran in 1525. The community received independence in 1803. It consisted of the main town and the districts of Egelsee and Steigmühle . On July 1, 1976, Steinheim was incorporated into the city as part of the municipal reform. Today Steinheim is a popular place for new buildings.

The tower of St. Martin's Church is high medieval. Construction of the nave began in 1764 and the building was inaugurated on June 29, 1765.
