history

St. Alto and St. Birgitta monastery church

Until the church is planted

Around 750 a wandering monk named Alto settled as a hermit in what is now the local area and was given the nearby forest by the Frankish King Pipin, which is still called "Altowald" today. After his cell, Alto founded a small monastery whose church is said to have been consecrated by St. Boniface . The name "Altomünster" arose from the two names "Alto" (Holy Alto) and "Münster" (former name for monastery).

Before 1000 the Guelphs built a Benedictine monastery. In 1056, Duke Welf IV appointed the monks to settle the newly founded Weingarten Monastery in Altdorf (today Weingarten ), while the nuns previously resident in Altdorf came to Altomünster. They lived there until the monastery was dissolved by Pope Innocent VIII in 1488 .

Around 1310, the Wittelsbach dukes granted the residents citizenship . On October 4, 1391, the market and town rights were confirmed by Duke Stephan III . The Ingolstadt dukes laid out the market square around 1420.

In 1496, Duke Georg der Rich von Landshut, together with his wife Hedwig of Poland, gave the Birgitten von Maihingen a deed of foundation for Altomünster in order to found a Birgitten monastery there.

The monastery and parish church was built from 1763 to 1773 by Johann Michael Fischer . Jakob Rauch created the stucco work, Josef Mages the frescoes and altarpieces, Johann Baptist Straub and Ignaz Baldauf the altarpieces.

On March 18, 1803, the monastery was dissolved. After the secularization of 1803, the monastery was rebuilt by King Ludwig I in 1841. It was the last monastery of the old branch of the Order of the Redeemer in Germany until January 2017 .

19th and 20th centuries

From 1823 Altomünster sank to a rural community with market rights. The main reasons for this were the closure of the monastery (1803), the original main employer, and the administrative costs. A hospital was built in 1862 and a kindergarten in 1869. The Marktsparkasse was founded in 1882. In 1888 Altomünster was connected to the telegraph service , and in 1902 to the telephone service . 1907-1910 the place was electrified. On December 18, 1913, the Dachau – Altomünster local railway was opened.

Ludwig Thoma had his hunt in Altomünster and therefore often stayed here. He was close friends with the sculptor Ignaz Taschner, who also spent a lot of time in the market.

A decisive date at the end of the Second World War in Altomünster is April 26, 1945 with an air raid on the train station. The US Army moved in on April 28, 1945. In the months and years that followed, the population structure of Altomünster changed significantly, not least because many refugees and displaced persons moved into the community.

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the district of Dachau was enlarged on July 1, 1972. One of the communities that was added from the dissolved Aichach district was Altomünster.

In 1977 a new school center was inaugurated.

In 1991 the double jubilee, the “600-year canonization of St. Birgitta ”and“ 600 Years of City and Market Rights ”. At the same time, the Altomünster community center was established on Steinbergstrasse in 1991 for the Protestant population.

The “Spider” disco burned down on December 1, 1996 - three days after the conviction of the managing director and “ disco mafia accomplice” Karlheinz S. Since then, Spider revival parties have taken place in Altomünster again and again.

In 1997 there was a 500-year celebration, which was crowned with the opening of the Altomünster Museum as the Birgitten and Monastery Museum. In 2003 the citizens commemorated the birth of the saint 700 years ago. In 2009, "Historical Brewers' Days" commemorated the guild regulations for the Altomünster breweries, which were ratified in 1658.

Economy and trade

In the Altomünster region there is a wide variety of tradespeople and self-employed, e. B. retailers, craftsmen, service providers.

The market still has two breweries that are run as private breweries:

forestry

The Altowald belongs to the market. The Altowald is the largest contiguous forest area in the Dachau district. After the secularization, the craftsmen and farmers from Altomünster and the surrounding towns were able to purchase one or more parcels of land and were glad that the wood shortage ended. That is why there are around 150 forest owners in the Altomünsterer Flur alone.
