Wildpoldsried

Welcome to Wildpoldsried!

With around 2,600 inhabitants, Wildpoldsried is one of the smallest independent municipalities in the Oberallgäu district. Perhaps for this very reason, there is a lively sense of community and strong togetherness here.

A visible expression of this can be seen in the wide range of activities organized by local clubs and associations. Whether culturally or in terms of sporting success, the people of Wildpoldsried are proud of their village life. In addition, Wildpoldsried is internationally known as an “energy village.”

Our municipality is located 10 km northeast of Kempten (Allgäu) at an altitude of 724 m above sea level in the Leubas basin.
