In the Middle Ages , Zuben belonged to the Münsterlingen Monastery , part of which came into the possession of the Bishop of Constance , who left it as a fiefdom to the St. Gallen Monastery . From 1748 it was owned by the monastery. Another part belonged to the abbot-Saint-Gallic judicial system of Herrenhof , two houses were part of the so-called High Court until 1798 , which was subordinate to the federal governor . In the church, Zuben always shared the fate of the Altnau parish .
