Wasserberg is a small village in the municipality of Aletshausen in the Swabian district of Günzburg .

location

The scattered settlement is located about one and a half kilometers southeast of Aletshausen in the Adelgerngraben valley .

history

Wasserberg was first mentioned in 1316 as a property of the Augsburg bishopric . Later, like Aletshausen , the place belonged to the Niederraunau lordship , which was long ruled by the Freyberg family. In the course of secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, like the entire Niederraunau rule, it became part of Bavaria . Since then it has belonged to the municipality of Aletshausen. Today the village has about 75 inhabitants.

Attractions

The chapel , which was built before 1834, is located at the highest point in the village, at house number 1 on the outskirts. The crucifix in the chapel from the 16th century and the other baroque furnishings point to a previous building, of which nothing is known.
