From the end of the 13th century, a distinction was made between Oberirsingen and Unterirsingen. Sometimes Unterirsingen was also referred to as Niederirsingen. The spelling Ursingen appears in the oldest documents . Unterirsingen goes back to an old Welfengut and formed its own parish village in the Middle Ages. Initially, the Altdorf-Weingarten Monastery Foundation had properties in Unterirsingen.

The Steingaden Monastery acquired many properties in Unterirsingen over the centuries up to secularization .

In 1868, 23 people lived in the hamlet. At this point in time, Unterirsingen already formed a community together with Irsingen. With the regional reform in 1978 Unterirsingen was incorporated into Türkheim together with Irsingen.

Wertach Bridge

Wertach Bridge

The Wertach Bridge has been an important crossing next to the customs house for centuries. The east-west road connection between Memmingen and Munich crosses here, after the Lech , the Wertach as the largest river. On the occasion of a bridge renovation in 1809, a short section of the Wertach in the Unterirsingen area was straightened in order to better protect the bridge from the flow of the river. Long-distance traffic between Munich and Memmingen flowed over the bridge at Unterirsingen until the time after the Second World War , before Bundesstraße 18 was re-routed as an expressway. The current bridge structure is a new building that was opened to traffic on November 13, 2009.
