History


In Roman times was located on the territory of the present municipality a cohort fort together with associated vicus. It was built around 45 a. Chr. From the middle of the 1st to the middle of the 2nd century a brickyard was operated. Approximately half a kilometer south of it, at the site of the municipality center of Emerkingen, developed later an Alemannic settlement. Emerkingen was first mentioned in the Latin form "in Antarmarhingas" in a deed of 805, given by the counts Cadolah of Friuli and Wago to the Abbey of St. Gall. The village was eponymous for the barons of Emerkingen. Their medieval castle was demolished in 1870. Only the "Roman Tower" still exists.
