Alemannic history and places in the municipality
In 1846, a large Alemannic burial ground was discovered in the district of Oberflacht. It was one of the most significant finds from the Alemannic period in all of Europe. The discovery gives local history a concrete historical connection: Oberflacht is not only part of the municipality’s name, but also the site of this find.
The ground floor of the Seitingen-Oberflacht Museum presents the history of the Alemanni. Visits are possible by appointment at 07464-98 68 0 or during special exhibitions. Plan your visit accordingly in advance. This allows you to consider the museum’s displays as a separate focus, alongside the historic find site in the district.
Another notable place is the Catholic Church of the Assumption of Mary in the Kirchberganlage. Together with the viewpoint at the Pfarrscheuer, which offers views across Oberflacht and its surroundings, it shows two different sides of the municipality: a named place within the complex and a viewpoint overlooking the district.
