history

Early history
Waldburg is shown in the description of the Ravensburg Oberamt from 1836 as a community with 48 parcels and 1163 (Catholic) inhabitants, but it is declared as a "civil place" belonging to the princes of Waldburg-Wolfegg-Waldsee. The first mention of Waldburg by name as a fief came after that, according to Pappenheim's Chronicle in 1402. The monastery Weingarten , the Landvogtei and most of the Truchsess von Waldburg shared their sovereignty. In 1570 part of the village burned down, in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War the forest castle was besieged by the Swedes and the place was sacked, in 1724 a fire set half the village to rubble and ashes.

Religions
Like the rest of the surrounding area, Waldburg is Roman Catholic . The parish is the seat of the parish of St. Magnus (with a branch parish of St. Cassian in Hannober), which is part of the Ravensburg deanery. The parish of Waldburg in its current form did not emerge until between 1808 and 1816. The parish, which emerged in the 16th century, only comprised the town itself and three surrounding parcels. The others belonged to the parishes of Bodnegg and Amtzell or were parished by Weingarten Monastery. The records in the Waldburg church registers do not begin until 1700 and later. In 1920 a branch parish was set up in Hannober, which meant that some of the parcels previously belonging to the parish of Amtzell and Vogt were assigned to the parish of Waldburg.
The Protestant Christians in Waldburg are members of the Atzenweiler parish , which is part of the Ravensburg deanery.
