history

Development of the settlement around a castle

The founding of the first Scheyern Castle is in the dark. According to the Renaissance historian Aventine , it is said to have been built as a ruler's seat as early as 508; surely a legend. The more recent research ( Karl Bosl ) suspects that the Bavarian Count Palatine Arnulf II could have built the castle around 940.

Around 1060 Hazinga (von Kühbach) probably brought the castle on which she was born into the second marriage of Freising Vogtes Otto . As a result, the descendants of both Counts von Scheyern called themselves ( comes de Skyrum ) and became the original family of the Wittelsbachers .

Changing rulers

In 1119, Count Otto V von Scheyern moved into Wittelsbach Castle as Count von Wittelsbach , converted his now unused castle in Scheyern into Scheyern Monastery as his home monastery with burial place and handed it over to the Benedictines of Petersberg (now part of the community Erdweg ). They settled on the former castle hill (under the name Hag until around 1800 ), which arose around 1400 from the two hubs of Hag, of which the larger, the Hube des Albert in 1260, originally from Merbod von Bachern as a fiefdom was handed over to the monastery ministerial Albert von Hag and his descendants ("without taxes"). Then the castle came back into the possession of the Scheyern monastery abbey and was later called the Hube des Plamoser, which had meanwhile been exchanged for the church of Hohenwart around 1400 . In the Middle Ages, the abbey was a center of writing and illumination. The place Scheyern belonged to the closed Hofmark of the Scheyern Monastery. The house monastery of the Wittelsbach family was secularized in 1803 . In 1838 King Ludwig I had Scheyern rebuilt as a Benedictine priory , and Scheyern has been an abbey again since 1843.
