History

In the year 830 a Hilti Bert transferred to the monastery of St. Gall the property Otbertihoba. In the late Middle Ages, the Earl of Lupfen came into the possession of the place. 1507 Opfertshofen went over to the monastery paradise. But already in 1529 they sold it to Schaffhausen. The communities of the lower Reiat joined together in 1867 to an independent wage parish. The Seal and current coat of arms was first identified in 1819. From the 1920s to the 1950s a motorcycle mountain race took place in Opfertshofen. On unpaved road this mountain race was also called Little Klausen, after the famous mountain race on Klaussenpass.
