history

Altstetten was probably built before the 12th century, perhaps as a repopulation of a Roman desert , as the hamlet is at the intersection of two (Roman) old roads. The first documentary mention comes from 1194, when the Eichstätter cathedral provost Walbrun transferred a courtyard in "Altsteten" to the Schottenkloster Hl. Kreuz outside the city walls of Eichstätt in the east . Early 14th century was a Hube the Kaisheim Abbey tributary. Then the monastery increased its property in Altstetten: In 1424 Johann zu Heydeck sold a farm and a Sölde "including the Vogteilichkeit " to the Kaisheim monastery; In 1428 this farm is known as "Hawnprechtzhof", and in 1428 it was awarded to the monastery by the Hirschberg district court. After Abbot Leonhard von Kaisheim sued Konrad zu Heydeck in 1435, Johann von Heydeck sold another Altstetten farm in 1444, on which the Hintersasse Chöntzlin sat, to the monastery. In 1573 Altstetten consisted of nine “teams”, eight of which were imperial and one from Palatinate- Neo-Burgundy .

At the end of the Old Kingdom , the hamlet had 10 properties around a local chapel from the mid-18th century: 2 courtyards, 2 half-courtyards and 4 Sölden belonged to the Imperial Monastery of Kaisheim with duty to its Ammerfeld care office, 1 Sölde belonged to Pfalz-Neuburg with duty to it Caste office Konstein , and 1 shepherd's house was owned by the municipality. The hamlet was subject to the high court of the Palatinate-Neuburg regional court Graisbach and lower court to the imperial monastery Kaisheim.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Altstetten was added to the Ammerfeld tax district when the tax districts were formed (until 1811). With the second community edict of 1818, Altstetten, consisting of eleven properties, became part of the now rural community of Ammerfeld, which was initially incorporated into the Graisbach- Monheim district court and rent office , then the Swabian district of Donauwörth . In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , Ammerfeld and with it Altstetten came to the Upper Bavarian, enlarged district of Neuburg an der Donau (from May 1, 1973 district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen ): With effect from May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality of Ammerfeld was incorporated the hamlets of Altstetten and Asbrunn in the Rennertshofen market .
