geography
Geographical location
The municipality of Vogt is located between Wangen im Allgäu and Ravensburg directly on the south-eastern edge of the Altdorf Forest . With the name “ Tor zum Allgäu” , the municipality of Vogt advertises its location on the edge of the Allgäu countryside.
Neighboring communities
The following communities border the community of Vogt: Wolfegg in the north, Kißlegg in the east, the town of Wangen im Allgäu in the south-east, Waldburg in the south-west and Schlier in the west .
Protected areas
Three nature reserves ( Füremoos , Neuhauser Moos-Mollenweiher and Wolfegger Ach ) and a landscape protection area ( young moraine landscape between Amtzell and Vogt ) are designated in the municipality . (As of April 1, 2010)
history
The area of today's municipality was settled as early as the Neolithic . After the Romans and Alemanni, the Franks ruled the area from the end of the 5th century. They assigned these to the Argengau , which became the County of Altdorf , which was subordinate to the Welfs . Via the Staufer , the area fell to Austria , where it was counted to the Landvogtei Swabia . Smaller areas also belonged to the dominion of the Prince of Waldburg-Wolfegg-Waldsee . The media coverage due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss circuit led to the membership of the Kingdom of Württemberg , the territories in 1826 the new municipality Vogt merged.
Religions
Like the rest of the surrounding area, Vogt is Roman Catholic , but it also has a large, active Protestant community.
Roman Catholic
The parish is the seat of the parish of St. Anna. It belongs to the Allgäu-Oberschwaben dean's office formed in 2007. Although the Karsee community was part of Vogt until 1952, Vogt belonged to the Karsee parish until 1808 as a chaplain (branch parish) . The around 1500 on the district of the manor Stüber vorm Wald built (today, striking Allgäu pharmacy) chapel was in 1808 to the parish church consecrated. As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, churches and monasteries were expropriated by the state as part of secularization . In 1833, the now much too small chapel was demolished and today's parish church of St. Anna was built in the finance chamber style (financed by the then Kingdom of Württemberg ) over a four-year construction period. It was fundamentally modernized in 1977/78 during the term of office of Pastor Maximilian Hess. Contrary to the trend of the Second Vatican Council towards comprehensive modernization at the time, the high altar was largely left in place at the behest of the monument authority and essentially only moved back against the wall. The space thus gained in the choir was used for an additional altar table , a modern folk altar. This altar table is following the modern liturgical rule towards the main nave of the church, thus facing the parish and based on the style of the existing altars. The pulpit was left in Vogt, unlike in many churches in which - following the zeitgeist of the time - the pulpits were dismantled, as were the two side altars, but it is no longer in use for liturgical reasons. The liturgical reform and the installation of modern public address systems made the elevated position of the pulpit no longer necessary. Several key objectives of this reform were implemented: The language was changed from Latin to German and the pastor now arranged the service to face the congregation at eye level. In retrospect, the modernization of that time is generally described in the community as a “very successful compromise” between the existing structure and the requirement of the modern liturgical order.
The relocation of the traffic-technically unfavorable side entrance from Kirchstrasse to the north-west side with a new, spacious entrance area, modernization of the heating system, conversion of the bell to radio clock , a new sacristy extension , organ and choir design also took place. The design of the north courtyard of the church, a structural opening of the soldier memorial at the eastern end of the church (an additional, second war memorial was created on the new forest cemetery in the mid-1980s), traffic calming of the church road and modernization and conversion of the historic rectory built in 1777 were all Part of a complete modernization of the village in coordination with the Vogt municipal administration.
