history

Frescoes in the Aisthofen chapel

The manor in the village of Aisthofen ( Carolingian royal or economic court , Curtis Agesta ) was the center and administrative seat of the Regensburg River in the 9th century. This stretch of land between the rivers Aist (river) and Naarn , which reached from the mouth of the two rivers to their origins in the northern forest , was donated to St. Emmeram monastery in Regensburg in 853 by border count Wilhelm in Linz . In the 11th century, the Lords of Perg obtained bailiwick rights over this area. With the establishment of the Vogtburg am Naarnufer (Dollberg) above Perg, the old administrative headquarters in Aisthofen lost its importance and only served as a farm.

In the Babenberger Urbar around 1230, this large farmyard was called Villicatio in Aisthoven and must have been very desolate. In a dispute between the bailiff of Regensburg, Otto V. von Lengenbach and the sovereign Duke Friedrich II. (The arguable) in 1235 the village of Aisthofen and probably the castle stables of Weinzierl were destroyed. Further mentions are made in 1277 and 1287.

At the beginning of the 14th century, the large Meierhof was likely to have been divided, so that the village of Aisthofen could emerge with an associated seat. In 1395 a Hans von Aisthofen was named, in 1449 a Niklas von Aisthofen. The Aisthofnerbach was called Pflegerbachl in the Middle Ages because the respective burgraves and keepers (administrators) of the Windegg estate were allowed to catch fish and crabs there.

The chapel in Aisthofen was built after the village fire of 1885. Almost all houses in the village fell victim to this fire. A votive picture in the chapel bears witness to this catastrophe. The chapel was built in the neo-Gothic style and has a vaulted ceiling with a stitch cap and numerous frescoes (depictions of saints). There is a wrought iron grille in front of the chancel. The chapel floor consists of large granite slabs. The semicircular apse faces west atypically. The Aisthofen Chapel belongs to the Gruber farm and is looked after and maintained by its residents.
