history

Town hall in Zogenweiler

The former municipality emerged from the office of the same name of the Landvogtei Schwaben, which had sovereignty over the area.

The main landlords were the Weingarten Monastery , institutions in the city of Ravensburg and the Landvogtei .

The patronage of the parish church St. Felix and Regula in Zogenweiler, first mentioned in 1258, came to the Markdorf monastery through purchase in 1431. In Ringgenweiler, the Petershausen Monastery was given property around 1070, which was bought in 1621 by Weingarten Monastery, which was already well-off here. The patronage of the parish church of St. Stephan in Ringgenweiler also passed from Petershausen to the Weingarten monastery in 1621.

In Wechsetsweiler the Weingarten and Weißenau monasteries owned. With the Landvogtei, Zogenweiler also came under the sovereignty of Württemberg in 1806, which initially (1810) set up a Zogenweiler high school, to which seven shoulders' shops were subordinate. In 1826 the municipality of Zogenweiler was formed, parts of which were assigned to Hasenweiler. Zogenweiler has been part of the municipality of Horgenzell since March 1, 1972.

coat of arms

coat of arms

As the first of the four former Württemberg municipalities in the Horgenzell area, Zogenweiler was granted the right to use a municipal coat of arms on July 6, 1948 by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Württemberg-Hohenzollern, which was determined as follows: “In silver (white) three red clasps, above them in red Shield head a silver (white) abbot with the curvature to the left. “The three clasps come from the seal of a Cunrat Ringgenweiler from the year 1359, who can be associated with the suburb of Ringgenweiler as a local nobility. The abbot's staff is intended to remind of the early relationship with Weingarten Monastery, which was the most important landlord in the municipality, along with the Swabian bailiff, which had been part of Upper Austria since 1541 .

Since it was incorporated into Horgenzell, the coat of arms has only been used unofficially.

Parish Church of St. Felix and Regula

Parish church

In the 13th century, Zogenweiler is first mentioned in a document as Zuogenwiller . There was certainly a Romanesque-early Gothic parish church that was also consecrated to the city ​​saints of Zurich, Felix and Regula . The nave was rebuilt in 1831 and the tower was raised in 1875. Medieval remains have been preserved in the three-sided, drawn-in choir and in the lower part of the tower. A photo around 1920 still shows the self-contained neo-renaissance design of the interior, which was later lost during a "purifying" renovation.

In 1960 the church and tower were torn down or blown up. The new church that was then built corresponds to the architectural taste of the 1960s with the building materials concrete and exposed brickwork as well as the wedge-shaped centered room shape. Only a few baroque and neo-Gothic sculptures make the historical connection to the previous buildings.
