history

Bachmann Mill

The settlement was first mentioned in 846 as Wilihdorf . Almost all of the goods that the St. Gallen Monastery in Willisdorf had owned from the early Middle Ages onwards was taken over by St. Katharinental Monastery after 1246 through purchase, exchange and donations. In the Middle Ages the high level of jurisdiction lay with the Kyburg - Habsburg office of Diessenhofen. The city of Diessenhofen received high jurisdiction in 1460 and lower jurisdiction in the 16th century and exercised both until 1798.

Ecclesiastically Willisdorf was always part of Basadingen , with the exception of Kundelfingerhof, whose Reformed residents were ecclesiastical according to Schlatt , while the Catholic residents were subordinate to the Paradies monastery. The St. Sebastian chapel was probably built in the 12th / 13th centuries. Built in the 16th century and renovated from 1966 to 1971.

The residents cultivated fields, meadows and fruit. The mill in Kundelfingen mentioned in 1263 existed until 1910, the mill in Willisdorf, also mentioned in 1263, has been operated by the Bachmann family since 1857 and was electrified in 1948, the Rottmühle mentioned in 1279 burned down in 1891. In addition to operations for paint production and a company for precision tools, there has been a fish farm since 1910.
