history

Affing Castle (around 1700)

Until the church is planted

A group of burial mounds and Roman finds indicate an early settlement. The place name Affing could point to a Bavarian establishment by an Affo . Affing was first mentioned in a document in 1040 and before 1800 it was the seat of a closed court marque of the Counts of Leyden. It belonged to the Electorate of Bavaria .

The history of knights, court marches and rulers mentions the following people: Perenhart de Affingin (1040), Ulrich von Affingen (around 1090), his sons Udalschalk and Giselher (around 1126), Otto von Affing and Burkart von Affingen (around 1150), Eberhart von Affingen (1350) and the following fiefdom owners of the Hofmark Affing: Engelhart von Oberndorf (1425), his daughter Amalie with husband Wolfgang Waldecker (around 1470), Walter von Gumppenberg (1506), Seifried von Zillenhart (1552), Waldecker (to 1621), Georg Friedrich von Stauding (from 1621), Johann Baptist Freiherr von Leyden - Electoral Vice Chancellor of Munich (from 1682).

The noble family of the Barons von Gravenreuth bought the Hofmark Affing in 1816 and the Hofmark Obergriesbach in 1831 and has been lord of the castle in Affing ever since. The acquirer, Karl Ernst von Gravenreuth , was a diplomat and, as commissioner general, administered Swabia, which had recently come to Bavaria.

In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , the community edict of 1818 created today's unified community of Affing.
