The oldest evidence of settlement in Illertissen goes back to the beginning of the 6th century A.D. The first documented mention, going by the name "Tussa", was in the year 954. This was on the occasion of the reconciliation by [[Ulrich, Bishop of Augsburg]] and the then [[bishop of Chur]], [[Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor|King Otto I.]], and his son [[Liudolf, Duke of Swabia|Duke Liudolf of Swabia]]. The occasion was a military alliance at Lechfeld, with the goal of preventing further [[Hungarian invasions of Europe| penetrations by the Magyars]]. The three "P"s in the coat of arms may have originated from this event.

From the 12th century to the 13th century the castle of Tissen was developed by the Counts of Kirchberg. Today, the castle is known as the Vöhlin château. Already in 1430 the rule of Kirchberg became the seat of jurisdiction through [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Sigismund]] for the village of Tissen. From this time on, trade and handcraft blossomed in the region. Beside the farmers and the craftsmen in Illertissen also brewers and webbers were resident. The trade house of the [[Vöhlin]] (1520-1757), a patrician family from [[Memmingen]] mostly determined the history of Illertissen. In the 18th century the time of the Vöhlin ended with their financial bankruptcy and the sale of the rule (1756) to the Bavarian [[Maximilian III, Elector of Bavaria|elector Maximilian III.]]. Since 1803 the château is in possession of the Bavarian state. There were accommodated the offices for pension, district, federal state parliament and finances and also the district court. Since 1983 the Bee- and homeland museum is accommodated in the free rooms.

The trade house of the [[Vöhlin]] (1520-1757), a patrician family from [[Memmingen]], heavily influenced the history of Illertissen. In the 18th century, the financial bankruptcy of the Vöhlin ended, and led to the sale of their rule to the Bavarian [[Maximilian III, Elector of Bavaria|elector Maximilian III.]] in 1756. Since 1803, the château has been in the possession of the Bavarian state. It included accommodation for the pension offices, the district government, state parliament and treasury, and also the district court. Since 1983, the Bavarian Bee and Homeland museums have been accommodated in some formerly unused rooms.
An important development thrust for the agrarian spahed market was brought by building the train line Ulm - [[Oberstdorf]] in 1861/62, the so-called ''Illertalbahn''. West of the train line industry companies settled, the number of inhabitants rose from 1,000 in the year 1800 to 2,500 in the year 1930. From the 1923 inflation the market municipality recovered in 1926. Then came the Nazi regime and the [[World War II]], a time of fall. Three years after the war the currency reorganization and the free-market economy led in an upswing like never before. New production branches settled. Thus Illertissen could switch itself into the industrializing without destroying the natural living room, the social equilibrium or the skyline. In addition also the refugees of homeland made a remarkable contribution. Straight the 1971 integrated quarter Betlinshausen as well as 1978 in the framework of the local regional reorganization been added quarters Au, Jedesheim and Tiefenbach round the picture off to a grown whole one. Therefore Illertissen was made to a town with around 16,000 inhabitants.

Illertissen was able to industrialize without destroying the natural environment, social equilibrium or the skyline. In addition, post-war refugees made a remarkable contribution. In 1971, Betlinshausen was incorporated, and Au, Jedesheim and Tiefenbach were added in 1978, as part of a regional reorganization. Illertissen became a town with around 16,000 inhabitants.

Illertissen (German: [ɪlɐˈtɪsn̩] ⓘ) is a town in the district of Neu-Ulm in Bavaria. It is situated approximately 20 km south from Ulm nearby the river Iller.

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms lent by Erhard Vöhlin in the year 1530 shows an upright standing lion in red, covered by a black bar with three "P"s in silver capital letters. They stand for Pugnamus pro pace (from the Latin), meaning For peace we fight (not "Pugnamus pro Papa" which means "For the Pope we fight" as has been erroneously suggested.)

History

[edit]
Vöhlinschloss 1923

The oldest evidence of settlement in Illertissen goes back to the beginning of the 6th century A.D. The first documented mention, with the name "Tussa", was in the year 954. That was on the occasion of the reconciliation by Ulrich, Bishop of Augsburg and the then bishop of Chur, King Otto I, and his son Duke Liudolf of Swabia. The occasion was a military alliance at Lechfeld, with the goal of preventing further penetrations by the Magyars. The three "P"s in the coat of arms may have originated from that event.

From the 12th century to the 13th century, the castle of Tissen was developed by the Counts of Kirchberg. Today, the castle is known as the Vöhlin château. By 1430, Kirchberg had become the seat of jurisdiction through Emperor Sigismund for the village of Tissen. From that time on, trade and handcraft blossomed in the region. Beside farmers and craftsmen in Illertissen, brewers and webbers were prominent. The trade house of the Vöhlin (1520-1757), a patrician family from Memmingen, heavily influenced the history of Illertissen. In the 18th century, the financial bankruptcy of the Vöhlin ended, and led to the sale of their rule to the Bavarian elector Maximilian III. in 1756. Since 1803, the château has been in the possession of the Bavarian state. It included accommodation for the pension offices, the district government, state parliament and treasury, and also the district court. Since 1983, the Bavarian Bee and Homeland museums have been accommodated in some formerly unused rooms.

An important development in the agrarian market was the opening of the Ulm - Oberstdorf railway line in 1861/62, the so-called Illertalbahn. Industries were established west of the line, and the number of inhabitants rose from 1,000 in 1800 to 2,500 in 1930. After the 1923 inflation crisis, the market municipality recovered in 1926, however a new crisis was to follow with the subsequent rise of the Nazi regime and World War II.
