history

Until the 19th century

Amerang was first mentioned in a document around the year 788. Amerang became an independent political municipality in the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria in 1818. From the Middle Ages onwards, the history of the Amerang area is closely connected to the owners of Amerang Castle , the feudal lords of the Amerang court for the local population. Today's rulership has existed in one line for 23 generations. This was followed by the nobles of Amerang (12th and 13th centuries), the nobles of Laiming (14th and 15th centuries), the Italian noble family the Scaliger (16th century), the Counts of Lamberg (17th and 18th centuries) and from 1821 the barons of Crailsheim .

In 2014 Auer Packaging acquired the 50,000 m² technology park in the north of Amerang. When Robert Auer Kunststofftechnik founded 1985 in Kraiburg am Inn, the company now has its headquarters in Amerang. Euroboxes, bottle crates, tool cases and, with particularly heavy injection molding machines, also boxes the size of euro pallets are produced .
