History

Breitenwang was first mentioned as "Breitinwanc" or "Breitenwanch" in 1094, when Duke Welf IV and his wife Judith transferred their possession to the welfische Hauskloster Altdorf-Weingarten. [3] Originally larger and more significant than Reutte, this changed with the straightening of the course of the main road. From there, the place lost importance.

Emperor Lothar III. died in Breitenwang on December 4, 1137, on his return from Italy (second Romzug). [4]
