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.
