History
Hergensweiler was most likely founded about 800 AD by the Alemanni. It presumably owes its name to the Alemannic Hergen. Hergensweiler was an Amt of the free imperial city of Lindau and was assigned to the sovereigns of Bretzenheim by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss (Principal Conclusion of the Extraordinary Imperial Delegation) in 1803 as part of the new formed principality of Lindau. They exchanged it to Austria in 1804, which had to assign it to Bavaria in 1805.
Population development
In 1970 1,098, in 1987 1,391 and in 2000 1,660 inhabitants were living in the municipality of Heimenkirch.
