The next comparison option is offered by the values ​​measured in Kempten .

In this comparison, Wiggensbach, with average precipitation of 1,487 millimeters, is significantly higher than the values ​​of Kempten (1,272 millimeters); due to the higher location, it can also be assumed that the average temperature is lower than the 6.9 degrees Celsius measured in Kempten. Wiggensbach is climatically in the temperate zone , in summer as well as in winter weather conditions are often determined by the foehn . Due to the high location of the community area, it snows more in winter than in lower neighboring communities.

history

Wiggensbach

Antiquity

It is not known whether people had settled in the municipality in ancient times. However, the Wiggensbach treasure find shows that people were already in Wiggensbach in the 3rd century AD. The hoard was discovered in 1888 by farmer's boy Joseph Mayr while herding cows on a field path. Some of the jewelry and coins were exhibited in the Roman Museum in Kempten (Allgäu) . Weapons, tools and jewelry from the Bronze Age were found in the neighboring town of Altusried, and the first settlement before the birth of Christ was found in Kempten. dw A Roman road ran through the municipality from Isny ​​to Altusried; the exact course can no longer be traced today. Remnants of the path were found near a hamlet between Wiggensbach and Ermengerst.

middle Ages

The Ermengerst district was founded before Wiggensbach was officially mentioned for the first time. Due to the patron saint of the church, John the Baptist , it is assumed that Ermengerst originated as an early baptistery in the early Middle Ages. In 1037 the Ermengerster Castle was named as the seat of servants . The name Ermengerst probably comes from an Erminger who signed a certificate. In 1288, among others, a knight of Ermengerst conquered the Iberg fortress.

The place Wiggensbach was first mentioned in 1182 as Witingisbach in the Isny monastery chronicle. The origin of the place name is not clear. One theory says that the name comes from a hermit named Witigo or Witgouvo , who is said to have settled in the Nibelgau in 864 . The other theory comes from the Isny ​​monastery chronicle, in which it says: "Your contributions helped with the construction of the new Isny ​​monastery: the people's priest Martin von Wittingisbach with his congregation ..."

The market Wiggensbach was assigned to the prince monastery of Kempten in 1508 together with other hamlets . Suseck Castle, shown on the municipal coat of arms, was destroyed in 1525. Only the castle stables remain from the castle today .

Modern times

The Pest-Gottesacker (former cemetery) with the inscription: "In memory of the Pest-Gottesacker of the parish Wiggensbach 1628–1635, distance 40 meters"

1555 the first desertification took place in Eckartsberg near Wiggensbach ; Houses were built instead of in places in the wilderness and the property was redistributed. The reason for this was the increased risk of fire due to the narrow construction.

Around 1620, the parish of Wiggensbach had 1500 inhabitants. The plague killed 820 people in 1628, more than half of the population. In 1634 the market of the Kempten monastery was relocated to Wiggensbach, in 1670 the weekly market was held there again, before it was finally returned to Kempten three years later. 50 years later, in 1684, the Buchenberger Markt was relocated to Wiggensbach. A fair was probably also held at the parish fair .

The Marienkapelle was built in the Kürnachtal in 1780 on the decision of Prince Abbot Honorius Roth von Schreckenstein .

After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the secularization in 1803, the place belonging to the Kempten Abbey was added to Bavaria.

The years 1850 to 1950

In Wiggensbach there were 28 house dairies in 1851, from which ten cooperative dairies were later formed. The dairy industry is an important economic pillar of the community.

In 1868 the volunteer fire brigade was founded and in 1892 it was divided into the two departments, Wiggensbach and Ermengerst, which still exist today. In 1883 a post office was set up for the first time at a local grocer.

The Wiggensbach treasure was found in the upper area of ​​the field near the forest

In 1888 the so-called Wiggensbach treasure was discovered. This is a coin find that was buried by the Romans in an attack by the Alemanni around 230 AD . It was brought to light by grazing cows, which removed the ground in a pasture and thus exposed the coins.

A post bus connection was set up in 1898 between Kempten, Rothkreuz (a current district of Kempten), Ermengerst and Wiggensbach. There were now two postmen in town. In 1909 the bus service was stopped because of a new rail connection. In the same year a telephone line from Kempten to Wiggensbach was set up. It was considered the first telephone connection in the Swabian district. In 1909 the railway connection between Kempten and Isny, the so-called Isny-Bähnle , was opened with a stop in the Ermengerst district. This rail connection, once the highest standard-gauge railway in Germany, was discontinued in September 1984.

1912–1914 a new school building was built in Wiggensbach. The first edition of the market paper of the market community Wiggensbach appeared in 1927. It is still the organ of the community for public announcements and notices. In 1928 a second connection to the local public transport system to Kempten was set up, initially with a rental car, later with buses.

The surrounding wall of the former plague cemetery south of Wiggensbach was uncovered in 1935. In 1936 a bathing establishment was opened in the hamlet of Kochs, and the chapel in Bachtels was built in 1938.

In 1946 and 1947 Wiggensbach received a sewer system. In 1947 the chapel in Schmidsreute was built.

The years 1950 to the present

In 1951, the community was elevated to a market town , which in 1958 and 1967 ensured the water supply and disposal of Wiggensbach with the piston and Schoren springs and the collective sewage treatment plant.

The last dairies in the community were closed between 1965 and 1970, and manual and tensioning services were abolished in 1966 .

In 1967 the municipal school system was reorganized. The previously independent schools in Bachtels, Schmidsreute and Ermengerst were closed, and the pupils were taken to the primary and secondary school in Wiggensbach by school bus. A school association was founded with Buchenberg, where from 1979 the secondary school continued with the sixth grade.

In 1971 Wiggensbach received the status of a state-recognized resort. With the municipal reform in Bavaria , Wiggensbach kept his independence without changing the area. Ermengerst was connected to the public bus route in 1975. In 1979 the parish church of St. Pankratius was renovated outside and in 1982 and 1983 inside.

The new town hall on the market square was built in 1984. Construction work in the years 1992 to 2003 included the Wiggensbach information center in the old schoolhouse, the fire station, the outdoor pool, a sports field and the cemetery.

Development of the population

The most decisive date in Wiggensbach's history was the year 1628, when more than half of the population fell victim to the plague. The further development of the population was based strongly on the existing employment opportunities; In the Middle Ages, limited to agriculture, the number of residents did not increase as much as after the beginning of industrialization and the associated rise of Kempten - more people also settled in the surrounding area.

The table provides an overview of the population:

Between 1988 and 2018 the community grew from 3525 to 5044 by 1519 inhabitants or by 43.1% - the second highest percentage increase in the Oberallgäu district in the period mentioned.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Wiggensbach shows the fortress Seiseck (also called Suseck ), also known as the castle of Wiggensbach , in a heraldic representation. The colors red and blue symbolize the sovereignty of the Princely Monastery of Kempten. The blazon reads: "In blue on a green hill a silver castle with two tin towers and red roofs, to the gate of which a golden bridge leads."

The coat of arms was awarded to the community in 1949 by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior . The place applied for this award as early as 1937, due to the outbreak of war it was no longer awarded by the Reichsstatthalter .

The Wiggensbach coat of arms history has a special feature. As early as 1925, the community applied for a coat of arms, this coat of arms would have shown "in gold the half-length of the nimbly Saint Pancratius with a red skirt and blue cloak". Here, too, the colors blue and red would have been intended as symbols for the sovereignty of the prince monastery. There was no award.

partnership

The municipality of Wiggensbach has had a partnership with Hattstatt in Alsace since 1985 , about eight kilometers south of Colmar in the Haut-Rhin department (France).

Economy and tourism

economy

The main employers in Wiggensbach are two medium-sized industrial companies ( Swoboda KG - automotive supplier industry, EK-Pack Folien - packaging industry), which together provide around 830 jobs. This means that these two companies provide almost two thirds of the total of 1,311 jobs subject to social insurance in the place of residence.

In addition to industry, the primary sector - in particular agriculture with dairy farming - is the second most important employer. The climatic conditions in the high-altitude community are not suitable for other agricultural products.

In addition to craft businesses, tourism is another economic pillar of the municipality. Due to the central location in the Allgäu , tourist destinations are easy to reach. The community also offers its guests some leisure activities themselves.

In 2006 the community had an average unemployment rate of 6.0 percent. This was above the Bavarian average of 5.1 percent.

Tourism in Wiggensbach

The Oberschwäbische Barockstraße , the Oberallgäuer Rundwanderweg and the Bavarian-Swabian Way of St. James run through the municipality .

Wiggensbacher treasure

A coin and jewelry find that was discovered by chance in 1888 is called a Wiggensbacher Schatz . A cow scraped the coins out of the ground at Waldegger Höhe. The coins date from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD and were probably buried there shortly before the Allemanni invasion in 233 AD. Until 2018, part of the treasure was on display in the Roman Collection in the Zumsteinhaus in Kempten. In the new Kempten Museum , which opened there in December 2019, it is no longer part of the exhibition.

Castle in Wiggensbach

Neuburg Castle

In the Middle Ages, the community area was a popular reason to build castles and forts due to its hilly landscape and its location between the centers of Kempten and Isny or Lindau . However, none of these buildings has survived. The so-called Burgstall refers to the traditional or rediscovered location of the former building. For the municipality of Wiggensbach, there are at least five castle sites: The castle site , approximately 750 meters northwest of the Wiggensbach parish church near Burg; the Schlossbühl about two kilometers west of the church and 350 meters east of Waldegg; Raunberg , southwest of Raunberg; the Ermengerster Castle about 850 meters south-southeast of the Ermengerster Church and the Suseck Castle , which is now part of the municipality's coat of arms. see also Castle robes , castle Schmid Reute

Many hamlets in the municipality have taken their names from the former castles. A memorial stone was erected at the Neuburg castle site , called Schlossbühl , near the golf course, which marks the exact position of the castle.

St. Pankratius in Wiggensbach

Parish Church of St. Pankratius

The parish church of St. Pankratius, built in the late Middle Ages, was expanded or rebuilt in rococo style by the architect and builder Johann Georg Specht from 1770 after damage caused by a fire . The frescoes in the interior are by Franz Joseph Hermann and the stucco marble altars were built by Johann Georg Wirth. The church was extensively renovated in 1901-1903 and 1981-1983.

The church is dedicated to St. Pancras . The high altar dates from 1773.

Gothic church in Ermengerst

The Ermengerster Church

A chapel in Ermengerst was first mentioned in 1360 in a tax register of the Diocese of Constance. Today's Ermengerster Church was built in the late 15th century and the patron saint is John the Baptist. One of the bells dates from 1489. Under Rupert von Bodman , Prince Abbot in Kempten, the church was extended between 1680 and 1690. In addition, individual works such as altars, pulpit and stalls were added in the style of the early Baroque. The coat of arms of the prince abbot was attached to the choir arch. In 1805 the church was to be torn down, and the Ermengerst population bought "their" church back by paying 500 guilders to the state. An interior renovation took place in 1970 and 1971, followed by an exterior renovation in 1982.

Baroque figures from the decoration of the pulpit are displayed in a showcase. Except for a ceiling painting by Huwyler, which was added in 1503, the church has been preserved in its original state. The altarpiece shows St. Rochus , frescoes have been exposed to the side of the altar .
