history

The establishment of a garment house goes back to Prince Abbot Rupert von Bodman . After the secularization in 1804, the bleacher Josef Prestel acquired the so-called "Blaich am Wang". His descendants lived in the building until 1981. The first floor was previously traversed by a canal, which was called "the Walke". Cloths were boiled there in hot water. The bleaching itself took place in the open field. Ditches led from the canal into the meadows, with cloths spread out between them, which were wetted with water. The end of the bleach came in 1880, when the cotton , the linen from the date "blue" Allgäu has sold. In the middle of the 19th century, the bleaching facility was converted into an agriculture. In 1985 the previous owner sold the house to the city of Kempten, which then wanted to remove it in order to make room for further business. In 1989, however, there was an entry in the Bavarian list of monuments as a "stately building in a construction typical of the 18th century with a baroque roof structure" . The building has been falling into disrepair ever since. In summer 2012 there were considerations to accommodate a daycare center in the house .

In house statistics from around 1800, the former district is listed as Bleiche , with two farms that together covered an area of ​​82.80 days' work (28.21 hectares ). The bleacher was part of the main team (a local subdivision of the Kempten Nursing Department in the Fürststift) Neuhausen .

At the 1961 census , Stiftsbleiche was still a hamlet with 33 residents in six residential buildings. In 1970 the hamlet still had 19 inhabitants, in 1987 it was registered as an uninhabited part of the municipality without typification.
