history

Until the church is planted

The place Altenmarkt an der Alz got its name after the foundation of the "new" market Trostberg, which is located in the immediate north about 750 years ago. For centuries it was a small craft settlement at the foot of the Baumburg monastery . In addition, Altenmarkt was important due to its location at the crossing over the Alz, where the place served the function of a customs and trading center. The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark of the monastery. The manorial rule of the Baumburg monastery ended around 1803 . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , the municipal edict of 1818 created the independent political municipality.

The municipality of Rabenden lost its independence in the course of the municipal reform and was incorporated on January 1, 1975.

Buchenwald memorial

A memorial for soldiers from different eras, known as the Buchenwald memorial , is located in the village to the west of the Baumburg monastery on a mountain slope . The memorial is located near the Altenmarkt cemetery.

The memorial was initially created over a mass grave in which Bavarian, Austrian and French soldiers who died of epidemics at the Battle of Hohenlinden (December 1800) were buried. The Canons' Monastery of Baumburg was used as a military hospital, to which the wounded from all the armies involved had fled. According to tradition, more than 2,000 soldiers died as a result of a typhus epidemic. They were buried in a mass grave in the nearby beech forest. Due to the prevailing confusion, the dead were neither counted nor recorded, so it is unclear how many dead and who were buried in the grave. In order to keep the memory of this grave alive, a memorial chapel in neo-Romanesque style was built in 1849 "on a hill" above the mass grave. Furthermore, memorial stones for those who fell in the war of 1870/71 were erected at the chapel . Memorial crosses were also erected for the dead of the First and Second World Wars in the community. Every year in June, the so-called Buchenwald commemoration takes place at the memorial .
