history
Aichach can look back on almost a thousand years of history. In the second half of the 11th century (before 1078) the church of Aichach was mentioned for the first time in a chronic note from the St. Ulrich and Afra monastery in Augsburg. The settlement is definitely older.
In 1250 a commander was named for the first time as head of a house of the Teutonic Order in Aichach. Aichach was the seat of a German order commander until 1384, who later moved to Blumenthal and existed until 1806. In 1347 Emperor Ludwig awarded the Bavarian "our place Aychach [...] allw the right [...] our place due to the citizens of Munichen [...] have".
In 1634 Aichach burned down almost completely after a siege. In the course of the Thirty Years' War , the troops of the warring parties moved repeatedly through the badly battered city on the road from Augsburg to Regensburg. The Swedish general Gustaf Horn wrestled with the imperial generals Aldringen and Jan van Werth . In 1704, English, Dutch and Spanish troops came to Aichach in the War of the Spanish Succession . The ducal castle was destroyed.
In 1796 French and Austrian troops marched through the city and, to the chagrin of the citizens, took up quarters in and near Aichach. The city suffered greatly from the repeated movements of the armies. Between 1796 and 1809 the citizens of Aichach had to billet a total of 18,699 officers and 194,086 soldiers. In the inn of the brewer Lorenz Alois Gerhauser on the town square lived u. a. the French general Saint Cyr and in 1799 the Cossack leader Rimsky-Korsakov .
Before 1800, the city was a maintenance office and belonged to the Munich Rent Office of the Electorate of Bavaria . Aichach had a city court with extensive magistral rights. Since 1862 the district office Aichach, precursor consisted of district Aichach . In the course of the district reform in 1972 , it formed the provisional "Augsburg-Ost district" with the Friedberg district and individual communities in other districts. This new district belonged to the administrative district of Swabia . The district was given its final name on May 1, 1973, Aichach-Friedberg district .

On January 1st 1974 the incorporation of Algertshausen followed, on January 1st 1977 Klingen and Obermauerbach followed . In the last phase of incorporation so far, the communities of Ecknach , Gallenbach , Griesbeckerzell (with Edenried , which was incorporated on January 1, 1972 ), Oberbernbach and Oberwittelsbach became districts of Aichach on January 1, 1978.
