background

The first known documentary mention of Hopfen am See comes from the year 1172, at that time under the name de Hophen. For a long time the place consisted of only a few houses. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village gradually enlarged, and it received the official addition at sea awarded.

After the Second World War it began to develop into a health resort and holiday resort. As part of the Bavarian municipal area reform, the previously independent municipality was initially enlarged to include the town of Eschach (Füssen) on April 1, 1971, but then assigned to the city of Füssen on May 1, 1978. The long lake promenade is nicknamed "Allgäu Riviera" because of its many cafés and restaurants.
