geography

location

The Tiefenbach district is located on the northeastern edge of the Federsee basin. In the west, the community has a share in the Federseeried. The village itself lies on the steep edge between the Federsee basin and the undulating old moraine area above.

Community structure

The community consists of the eponymous district Tiefenbach and has no other sub-locations. The hamlets of Streitberg and Maierhof, which formerly belonged to the municipality, came to the Stafflangen district of the city of Biberach an der Riss in 1977 .

history

The name of the community is first mentioned in 1277 as Tiuffenbach in connection with a family of local nobles. However, the origin of these multiple nobles is uncertain and nothing has been handed down from a castle in the village, so that the first sure mention of the community can be dated in 1353 ( Tuffenbach ).

Today's municipal area comprised a Maierhof owned by the Buchau women's monastery and around 30 cornelian bonds from the monastery. The monastery held the basic rule over Tiefenbach early on, the high and low jurisdiction and the Vogteirecht were with the rule Warthausen . The Maierhof was sequestered (confiscated) by Austria during the secularization of 1803 and came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 .

Tiefenbach was mentioned as early as the 15th century . To this day, the place has always been independent: it came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 , where it initially belonged to the Biberach Oberamt, and from 1809 to the Riedlingen Oberamt. In 1938 the community came to the district of Saulgau , when it was dissolved in 1973 to the district of Biberach .

Religions

The community is shaped by Roman Catholicism . Tiefenbach was mentioned in documents as early as 1353 as a branch of the Seekirch parish ( incorporated into the Marchtal monastery) . Even today the place belongs to the parish of the Assumption of Mary in Seekirch in the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart .

After the Second World War, immigration resulted in a small Protestant minority. The Protestant Christians belong to the parish of Bad Buchau in the Riedlingen parish of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
