history

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipalities of Unter- and Oberbaar were merged to form the new municipality of Baar (Swabia). The new municipality also belonged to the district of Neuburg an der Donau and was added to the district of Augsburg-West on July 1, 1972 in the course of the district reform in Bavaria (change of name to the district of Augsburg on May 1, 1973). On May 1, 1978 the community was incorporated into Thierhaupten . The struggle of the community residents led to the regaining of community independence on January 1, 1994. Heimpersdorf moved from Thierhaupten to the new community on the same day. Since then, Baar has been part of the Pöttmes administrative community in the Aichach-Friedberg district .
