History

Uttenweiler was first mentioned in 1173. The name allegedly goes back to Blessed Uta, who is said to have died in the area. For a short period of time Uttenweiler came under Austrian rule. In 1449 an Augustinian Monastery was established in Uttenweiler. As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschlusses Uttenweiler came under rule of the princes of Thurn und Taxis in 1803, but fell in 1806 to the kingdom of Württemberg. There it was assigned to the Oberamt Riedlingen and in 1938 to the Landkreis Saulgau. The district reform of 1973 led to the affiliation to the district of Biberach. On 1 January 1973 the previously independent communities of Ahlen and Sauggart were incorporated into Uttenweiler. The present community of Uttenweiler was formed on 1 October 1974 by the merger of the communities of Uttenweiler, Dietershausen, Dieterskirch, Oberwachingen, and Offingen.
