history

The discovery of a well-preserved sword from the Bronze Age in 1895 indicates that the place was settled in prehistoric times. Stockheim was first mentioned in writing in a document from the cathedral monastery of Augsburg in the second half of the 11th century. At that time, the Augsburg cathedral chapter in Stockheim had a bonnet, which was probably a gift from the Bavarian Duke Welf III. was. Since the 13th century, some of Stockheim's goods had been in the hands of the Irsee , Steingaden and Ursberg monasteries . From 1311 the Steingaden Monastery also had the right to fish and fish water on the Wertach between Stockheim and Türkheim .

The Wertach was used to transport goods. In a document from 1347, Pastor Johannes der Wabrer von Stockham promised the citizens of Augsburg that the Wertach would be kept open for traffic with rafts. For this purpose he also allowed the construction of a weir with a passage at the mill.
