history

The Stettenhof has existed for more than 750 years. It was first mentioned in 1239 as the property of Thiemo von Hohenburg near Fronhofen. The church belonging to it belonged to the canon Berthold near St. Moritz, diocese of Augsburg. In 1246 the hamlet was assigned to the Mödingen monastery of the Mödingen parish through a letter of foundation from Count Hartmann IV. Von Dillingen, along with all of its goods . Because of the loneliness of the place, the little church in Stetten was assigned. In 1259 the canon Berthold donated the chapel to the nearby monastery. In 1262 Thiemo's widow, Luitgardis von Hohenburg, sold the Schwaige to the monastery for 150 guilders .

After a reconstruction, the church was consecrated as Frauenstetten or Mariastetten in 1345 . The attempt to introduce the Reformation in 1542 failed because of the resistance of the nuns. In 1600 the chapel was sold for 100 guilders and used as a granary. After the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , the chapel was rebuilt in 1658. In 1715 the new building of the dilapidated Stettenhof began. 1802 the hamlet came into state ownership through secularization , before it was sold by the Electorate of Bavaria to Baron Gravenreuth from Ulm in 1806 .
