Baienfurt
Baienfurt (Low Alemannic: Boeafurt) is an Upper Swabian municipality in the district of Ravensburg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The municipality, with a population of over 7,000 inhabitants, is part of the Middle Schussental Municipal Administration Association.
Baienfurt is part of the settlement area of Middle Schussental, which extends from Eschach, a southern district of Ravensburg, through the two cities of Ravensburg and Weingarten to Baienfurt and Baindt in the north. It is located a few kilometers west of the Altdorfer Wald on the banks of the Schussen, a northern tributary of Lake Constance or the Rhine, and is traversed by the Wolfegger Ach, a tributary of the Schussen.
Starting from the north, Baienfurt borders Fronreute, Baindt, Bergatreute, Schlier, Weingarten, and Berg.
In addition to the main town, Baienfurt includes the districts and residential areas of Niederbiegen, Köpfingen, Kickach, Baumgarten, and Briach, as well as the residential area of Neubriach.
Baienfurt has a minimal share in the north of the Annaberg nature reserve and an equally minimal share in the southernmost part of the Laurental and Rößlerweiher landscape protection area.
In addition, parts of the FFH areas Schussenbecken with Tobelwälder south of Blitzenreute and Altdorfer Wald are located in Baienfurt.
Through archaeological findings, Celtic settlement traces in the municipal area are evidenced. There is a burial mound from the Hallstatt period. In the area of the present-day districts of Rain and Kickach, there were Roman estates.
The settlement of Baienfurt probably emerged in the 9th century. The name Baienfurt, also written as Baier, Beierfurt, or Paigerfurt in early documents, derives from a ford across the Wolfegger Ach. Baien is derived from baie, beige (= opening), while other sources mention an origin from Bai (= sedge).
