Ottobeuren Market Square / Market Chronicle
Probably none of the visitors who stay in Ottobeuren today, for a shorter or longer period of time, can imagine how this approximately 1,500-year-old, historic town was founded.
When visitors arrive in Ottobeuren from all directions by private car, taxi, or bus, their first gaze is usually drawn to the mighty basilica with its monastery buildings.
No one considers that the very ground they have just set foot on was once impassable terrain, moorland, swamp, and densely wooded area.
Nevertheless, a man had dared to gain a foothold here, clear the forest, and establish a human settlement. What Stone Age hunters and fishers had failed to achieve much earlier—namely, to settle here—had become the life's work of a man named Uot. At the site where the market square stands today, the first giant trees soon collapsed under the axe blows of the Uot farmers.
Huts were built from rough beams, livestock was raised, and fields were cultivated. Only a few huts in the middle of the forest housed the Uot clan. Uot, the Swabian, founded Ottobeuren in the 5th century.

The magnificent basilica of St. Alexander and Theodor belongs to the Benedictine Abbey of Ottobeuren and is one of the most beautiful baroque churches in southern Germany.

Beautiful cycle route from Benningen, view over the Illertal, past the Adelwarth organic poultry farm. The route winds through the countryside to the Woringen train station restaurant, from there on to Wolfertschwenden.

May 18, 2023,Der Bäderradweg – Vom Allgäu zum Bodensee - Tag 1 - Bad Wörishofen - Thal
We started in Bad Wörishofen in the early days of sunshine, but with Thermo Windstopper equipment from top to bottom. Unfortunately it got cloudy later and was quite windy. The spa park of Bad Wörishofen is beautiful and spacious. Other highlights for us were the Katzbrui mill and the basilica in Ottobeuren.
