Why visit
Meßkirch is the birthplace of Konradin Kreutzer, born on 22 November 1780, composer of Das Nachtlager in Granada and of the incidental music for Der Verschwender. It also keeps the house where Martin Heidegger's parents lived, and his grave in the town cemetery.
Origins and history
The market right is documented since 1241, the town right in a charter of Salem since 1261. When Karl Friedrich von Fürstenberg-Mößkirch died in 1744, the Meßkircher line of the princes of Fürstenberg ended with him and the development of the town as a residence came to an abrupt stop. After secularisation and mediatisation in 1803 the principality of Fürstenberg was mediatised.
