history

1341 sold Abbot Konrad from Biburg Abbey the castle stable of Althexenagger to Heinrich von Hauzendorf; therefore there was a castle here, which was already destroyed at that time, but of which walls and moats can still be seen today. 1477 confirmed Emperor Friedrich III. Niklas, Lord von Absberg , his fiefdom , including Althexenagger and the wood for Althexenagger, called the "Mulperg".

In 1838 the wasteland consisted of a house with eight residents.
