Biberach appears as a
village
  in the 8th century, and in 1312 it became a free imperial city. During the Thirty Years' War it underwent various vicissitudes, and was for a while held by the Swedes. In 1707 it was captured and put to
ransom
  by the
French, who afterwards, in 1796 and 1800, defeated the Austrians in the neighbourhood. In 1803 the city was deprived of its imperial freedom and assigned to Baden, and in 18o6 was transferred to Wurttemberg. Biberach is the birthplace of the sculptor Johann Lorenz Natter (17051763) and the painter .Bernhard Neher (18o61886); Christoph Martin Wieland, born in 1733 at the neighbouring
village
  of Oberholzheim, spent several years in the town.
