      A good place to live - the ancient Romans already knew that!
      The first traces of settlements go back to the Celts, followed by the Romans in 15 BC. The remains of a villa rustica, a Roman estate, can be admired in the impressively designed Roman baths in Kohlhunden. The Alemanni came during the great migrations, and the Franks followed in the 8th century. Oberdorf's favorable location prompted the Franks to build a royal court here. At this time, the monk Magnus evangelized the Allgäu and Oberdorf also became Christian. In 1299, the prince-bishops of the Bishopric of Augsburg took over the rule, which was to last until secularization. It was also the prince-bishops who built a castle in Oberdorf as a residence, which was first mentioned in documents in 1424. In 1453, Emperor Friedrich III granted Oberdorf the right to hold a market - an important impulse for the development of the town.
      In 1722, the castle was renovated in the then-current Baroque style and used by the prince-bishops as a popular hunting lodge and summer residence. The master builder was Johann Georg Fischer, a native of Oberdorf. In 1732, construction began on the magnificent church of St. Martin, and in 1774 the last prince-bishop of Oberdorf, Elector Clemens Wenzenslaus, had the linden tree avenue laid out.
