history

Ramparts and moats of the Hünaburg castle stable

The Kehlbachtal was already a traffic and settlement area in the time of the Celts and Romans . To the west of Weihwang on the Schloßbühl , a wooded mountain tongue between Weihwang and Glashütte , there is the lost Hünaburg , a Celtic or early medieval fortification with double wall and moat, today a ground monument. About 0.8 kilometers west of Weihwang are the walls of what is most likely a Roman building in a field. Two Roman roads meet at Bittelschieß , one from the forest via Glashütte and one from Pfullendorf via Otterswang.

Weihwang himself was first mentioned in a document as Wiwank in 1266 : Hugo von Bittelschieß sold, with the consent of his wife Engelburg, his sons Konrad, Berthold and Ulrich, and his brother Albert, his wife Mechthild and son Albert a property to the Cistercian convent in Wald for 9 silver marks . Another mention comes from the year 1322 as Wigenwang : Walter von Sohl , clerk for the city of Klein-Basel, waives his rights. Between 1266 and 1333, the Wald monastery acquired most of the hamlet.

The Wald monastery later exercised the sole manorial rule, as well as the village rule and the lower court in 1474. In 1461 an estate belonging to the monastery is mentioned, over which Wald Zwing und Bann owned. In a land register from 1501 Weihwang was designated as a single farm; divided before 1567.

Since the first half of the 16th century, the village of Otterswang, together with Kappel , Litzelbach , Weihwang and Reischach, formed the Otterswang district, known as the municipality. The high authority lay with the county of Sigmaringen . Wald gained local authority before 1600.

In the course of the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) the monastic hamlet of Weihwang was burned down and lay desolate for years.

Weihwang was part of the monastic rule of the forest. During the secularization due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the monastery was dissolved in 1806 and the forest territory fell to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . Weihwang belonged to the Hohenzollern (until the abolition in 1861 to the Prussian) Oberamt Wald . In 1862 it was incorporated into the Oberamt and, from 1925, into the Sigmaringen district.

Weihwang belonged to the independent municipality of Otterswang and was incorporated into the city of Pfullendorf on July 1, 1972.
