In 1916, the Allgäuer Herdbuchgesellschaft (founded in 1893) received a rare gift from one of its founding members - the Königsalpe. Named after its former owner, Bonaventura König, it is the middle of three alpine pastures in Gschwend, above Trabers-Mutten in the municipality of Stiefenhofen. As a thank you for the donation from B. König in 1916, the breeding association built a chapel right next to the alpine pasture in 1934. It was consecrated in honor of Saint Bonaventura.
