history

The Neuburg district of Altmannstetten

There are hardly any historical sources about its origins, and the name is not mentioned in the Pappenheimer Urbar from 1214, the tax directory of the Pappenheimers. It is assumed that the Schwaige already existed around the year 1000, as it belonged to the property of the Benedictine monastery in Neuburg and many donations were made around this time.

In 1632 the hamlet of Altmannstetten was owned by Don Rodrigo Barragan, Freiherr zu Wasserburg . He is expelled as a knight and court marshal of the Neuburg duke Wolfgang Wilhelm. In 1621 Don Rodrigo Barragan was already the governor of Günzburg and owner of the Wasserburg estate . In 1770 a Jesuit brother inherited the property and kept it as a private property. When the Jesuit order was dissolved, the monk went to Altmannstetten. On the counter a thing ( old part ) and housing law he had the goods to his relatives transferred.

Around 1800 Altmannstetten was a remote farm with about 76 days of farm work and 31 days of cattle pasture. In 1803 the property grew again. The owner at the time, Joseph Häckl, acquired the Altmannstetter Holz with around 70 days of forest work. A decisive change came in 1817: the owner sold the farm to four colonists from the Palatinate. The buyers are Martin Brox, Johann Georg Herbold sen. und jun., as well as Ludwig Krauss listed. At first the four people from the Palatinate ran the farm together, but later it was divided. In 1822 the new owners sold three farms again. With the immigration of the Palatinate settlers, Altmannstetten was transformed from a Catholic wasteland into a Protestant hamlet. From 1850 to 1913 Altmannstetten was part of the Wagenhofen community . Now the place came to Feldkirchen and with the regional reform on January 1, 1978 to Neuburg.

School and church

Cemetery cross in the Protestant cemetery

Due to the different denominations, the place was divided into three parts ecclesiastically and academically. For the Catholics , the Wagenhofen parish was responsible for births as well as marriage and funerals . The Evangelical Reformed were incorporated into the parish of Marienheim, and the children had to go to school there too. When building churches, the Reformed were obliged to do manual and tensioning services. The Evangelical Lutherans belonged to the parish of Untermaxfeld . The Protestant children attended school in Obermaxfeld from 1822 .

graveyard

The Buttmann family donated a piece of land for the cemetery. However, until recently, only Protestants were allowed to be buried there. In 1982 the cemetery wall had to be repaired. The construction work was financed by the city of Neuburg . With the collected donations, the Altmannstetter financed a large wooden cemetery cross and a cemetery festival.
