history
Until the 17th century
Probably more than 1000 years before the first written testimony of the village of Weißensberg came, an important Roman road ran through the area of today's municipality (Römerstraße in Rehlings and Metzlers).
- 1264 : The first written evidence of the existence of a parish in Weißensberg or the town of Weißensberg can be found on May 20, 1264. In a contract between the abbess of the women's monastery and a citizen of Lindau, a Walter Vicepleban of St. Stephan, true rector of the WIZINSBERC Church, named as a witness.
- In 1275 Weißensberg reappeared, as well as in the Diocese of Constance , to which Weißensberg belonged until its dissolution in 1821, a general taxation of the clergy due to a crusade planned by Pope Gregory X.
- 1284 : A Magister Berthold was a pastor in Weißensberg.
- 1288 : Brother Hermann Converse brought his farm to Wilpoltsweiter (that is what Grübels was called earlier) as a personal property in the hospital.
- 1340 : The hospital had bought four properties and farms in the village of Weißensberg (a total of 20 farms) since 1340.
- 1383 : Weißensberg bought the Heilig-Geist-Hospital from Vogt Eberhard von Sumerau , called Rudolfsried, including the Reichsstraße ("everything obviously located on des Richs Strauzz"). This Reichsstraße followed the old Roman road and for centuries was a busy trade route to the salt and goods handling port of Lindau, and many villagers found their livelihood as day laborers through it.
- 1522 : The imperial city of Lindau and its hospital joined the Reformation. A separate pastor was appointed for the St. Mark's Church, who also took care of the Sigmarszell parish until 1813. The best chalice, vestments and the great monstrance of the church were sold.
-
1546 : Count Hugo von Montfort banned the “newly planted religion” in all areas of his high court. The church became Catholic again and the hospital bought new measuring instruments.
After that, the church began to develop into an important pilgrimage to St. Mark, visited from afar with large processions. The pastor was allowed to have his morning meal in the hospital every two weeks. - 1670 : The Weißensberger Weiher, then still called "Lochweiher", was enlarged by the local clergy. The owners of the "drowned meadows" complained violently.
19th century
- 1803 to 1805 : The former office of the Free Imperial City of Lindau was awarded to the Princes of Bretzenheim as part of the newly formed Principality of Lindau in the Imperial Deputation Principal in 1803. In 1804 they exchanged the principality for Austria. Since the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg in 1805, the place has belonged to Bavaria.
- In 1813 the parish of Weißensberg separated from the parish of Sigmarszell and built a new parsonage with the schoolroom on the ground floor. The families concerned had to pay school fees. The first three years cost 40 cruisers each , the last three years 20 cruisers each. Attendance at school was six years old, and school was only compulsory during the winter semester.
-
In 1816 the political community of Weißensberg was created through the amalgamation of the districts of Weißensberg with 33 families, Loch with three families, Grübels two families, Rehlings eight families, Metzlers 18 families, Eggenwatt ten families, Wildberg 16 families and Schwatzen 16 families.
Until the 17th century, some districts had other names: Grübels was called Willeboltsweiler, Rehlings Gerhartsweiler, Metzlers Wickenweiler. The district of Loch was not officially renamed Rothkreuz until 1929. - 1830 : Weißensberg was recorded statistically for the first time: It was a typical village with 166 families, 93 of them in agriculture and dependent businesses. 23 families were part of the industrial population, 15 were military and five were community servants. Then came the pastor. All 529 souls were Catholic.
- In 1853 the first train ran through Weißensberg and past the Rehlings stop to Lindau. The railroad brought the island city and its surroundings an unexpected boom through grain trade and tourism.
- In 1865 the church was closed by order of the building authorities. In the new building, the tower, the basement of which could presumably be a former Roman watchtower, was preserved. This was also the case with the 1979 expansion.
-
1870 : Construction of the memorial chapel on the Weißensberger Halde. Prince Regent Luitpold had it built in memory of his wife Auguste, Princess of Toscana.
A local beer surcharge of 1 pfennig per liter was levied for ten years to pay off the church building debt of 10,294 marks. This was good business, as 850 hectoliters of beer were consumed annually in the municipality of Weißensberg. - In 1897 it was decided to build a new schoolhouse for the 140 children. The school should be built close to the church so that the pupils can easily attend church. Until 1916, the beer surcharge was used to pay off the school building debt of 12,000 marks.
20th century
- In 1907 the municipality tried to ban car traffic on all municipal roads (not on the 3 state roads). In 1911 a maximum speed of 15 km / h was then prescribed.
- 1913 : The community of Weißensberg joined the water supply of the Lake Constance group with Sigmarszell, Bösenreutin, Reutin and Oberreitnau. A high pressure tank is built in Wildberg.
- In 1918 , the local council decided to join the Schlachters electricity cooperative in order to connect school buildings, classrooms and the teacher's apartment.
- In 1918 the milk drying facility was opened. 4/5 of the taxes go to Weißensberg, 1/5 to Sigmarszell.
- In 1919 , a public communal telephone booth was set up in Schwatzen for master glazier Andreas Maier .
- 1935 : The Schlachters tourist association built a bathing establishment at the Schlachterweiher, of which the community of Weißensberg contributed half of the costs with 300 marks.
- In 1937 electric light was installed in the classrooms by electrician Kindler. At the same time, blackout frames were purchased for air protection and film purposes.
- 1941–1944 : The Weißensberg volunteer fire brigade took civil protection measures. Bare brass helmets should be abolished or at least painted steel gray. 50 steel helmets were ordered.
- 1944 : 20 gas masks were already in place. Another 45 gas masks were bought for the gas defense service.
- 1955 : Until 1955, Weißensberg belonged to the Bavarian district of Lindau, which was in the French occupation zone and had special benefits. So the entire tax revenue remained “in the state of Lindau” and you could feel the political and economic fate of the highly esteemed District President Zwiesler everywhere. After the currency reform, all school desks were replaced, and in 1949 a third classroom was set up on the first floor.
- 1951 : With the construction of a community and fire station building , Weißensberg received its first community center.
- 1970 : Construction of a new central school between the church and Weißensberger Halde
- 1978 : Establishment of the Sigmarszell administrative community consisting of the communities of Hergensweiler, Sigmarszell and Weißensberg, with its headquarters in Schlachters
- 1982 : The chapel on the Weißensberger Halde was precisely measured, demolished and rebuilt in an exemplary community campaign.
- 1984 : Reconstruction of the old school, which has been used as the town hall since then
- 1988 : Signing of the partnership document with the French commune of Andouillé in the Mayenne department, Pays de la Loire region; Opening of the 18-hole golf course with hotel in the Lampertsweiler district
- 1990 : Signing of the partnership certificate with the French community of Saint Germain-le-Guillaume in the Mayenne department, Normandy
- 1993/94 : Expansion and refurbishment of the Weißensberg elementary and secondary school (today only elementary school)
- 1998 : General renovation of the 1951 town hall at Weißensberger Weiher
