Krumbad is considered the oldest spa town in Swabia. Its history is linked to a special raw material: Krumbach bathstone. As early as the 16th century, this claystone was considered a remedy for ailments such as rheumatism, arthritis, tension, and skin problems. The bathstone was mined around the spa town at a depth of three to five meters. After drying, it is extracted into a fine powder, which, when mixed with water, is applied to the body as a healing mud.

Duchess Mauritia Febronia of Bavaria (1652-1706) bequeathed a replica of the Altötting image to Christoph Imperial Count von Muggenthal, Lord of Bedernau. In 1721, he had the image of the Mother of God, highly venerated by the Duchess, placed in a chapel in his orchards, today known as Baumgärtle. Starting in 1726, a church and monastery were built, where Franciscans lived and supervised the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage flourished until the beginning of the 19th century. During the secularization of 1803, the monastery was closed; the church was sold for demolition in 1827. All that remained was the Chapel of Grace with the image of grace. Nevertheless, pilgrims continued to come to Baumgärtle. Several attempts were made to reestablish a monastery there. In 1871, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood received permission from Bishop Pancras of Augsburg to settle in Baumgärtle. In 1882/83, a new pilgrimage church was built and consecrated under the title "Presentation of Mary" (patronage feast on November 21). After 1945, the flow of visitors and pilgrims to Baumgärtle soon increased again. In 1949, the missionaries introduced the celebration of Fatima Day on the 13th of every month, which draws numerous believers.
