Leutkirch im Allgäu is a former Free Imperial City in southeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It belongs to the district of Ravensburg. About 24,000 people live there. It is in the western Allgäu region.
The name Leutkirch comes from "Leutekirche" (English: Church of the people), a catholic church in the town which is now called "Sankt Martin".[3]
