Aschtal , also Aschthal , is a wasteland that belongs to the municipality of Fuchstal in the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech .

Geographical location

Aschtal is located about three kilometers southwest of the Leeder district in the water-rich, protected Aschtal valley, from which the Schmidbach, which flows to Leeder, also feeds. To the southwest, Aschtal borders the very extensive and hardly populated forest areas of Denklinger Rotwald and Sachsenrieder Forst .

history

With its first documentary mention in the 11th century, Aschtal and Engratshofen are among the oldest districts in the municipality of Fuchstal. In a fiefdom in 1059 the wild ban was recorded for two farms. Archaeological finds and aerial archeology lead to the conclusion that Aschtal must have been a larger place in the past. After the Thirty Years War, the place was initially abandoned and not settled again until 1649. In 1666, Aschtal was awarded as a wasteland and iron forge for 50  florins a year in Leibrecht. After 1800 a sawmill was built in the Aschtal, which still exists today as a saw.

A few hundred meters northeast of the property there is a leveled, square rampart visible in the aerial photograph on a field, as well as a Celtic square hill with well-preserved ramparts and moats on the northern heap of the Ashtal valley . The entrance to the ski jump, the interior of which is now used as pastureland, was relocated in the 1970s. Right next to the ski jump was a grinding mill that was demolished in 1822.

structure

The Aschtal wasteland today consists of two residential buildings and a number of farm buildings where agriculture is still practiced (dairy farming). The saw has been preserved, but is only used privately.
