history
Until the 19th century
The place was first mentioned in 822 as perge cum basilica ( Old High German / Vulgar Latin mountain with church ). Prehistoric finds suggest that Germanic settlements already existed.
With the community of Aufkirchen the Berger Hofmark was formed in the 15th century, whose owners were the rich patrician families Ligsalz and Hörwarth from Munich.
The Wittelsbachers began to influence the fishing and farming village in the 17th century . The Elector Ferdinand Maria acquired a piece of land by the lake on which Berg Castle was built, which is still owned by the Wittelsbach family today. Ludwig II used the castle as a summer residence. For example, the Empresses of Russia and Austria were there to visit.
In 1818 the political municipality was established.
20th century
At the suggestion of Hanns Johst , President of the Reichsschrifttumskammer , Galeazzo Ciano , Italian Foreign Minister under Mussolini , was housed by the Nazis with his family in Allmannshausen in late summer 1943. The Grand Fascist Council had previously ousted Mussolini for a short period of time, and there were fears that those who voted against him would be persecuted. The villa was owned by Baron von Wittgenstein and was then under state administration.
At the end of the Second World War , on April 26, 1945, SS men drove 6,887 prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp on a death march south, during which every second prisoner was killed by exhaustion or murder. Because the march had moved through the Berg community, a bronze sculpture was erected in the Aufkirchen district on the road to Wolfratshausen to commemorate the victims of the Nazi tyranny .

Culture and sights
Votive Chapel
The St. Ludwig Memorial Church, built in honor of Ludwig II, is located in the forest above the place where the king's body was found in the lake on Whitsunday, June 13, 1886. In 1887 his mother, Queen Marie, donated a lamp for the dead, which was later integrated into the staircase. The prince regent Luitpold laid the foundation stone for the construction of the so-called votive chapel on the 10th anniversary of the king's death in June 1896. Four years later the church, built in neo-Romanesque style, was inaugurated. It was designed by Julius Hofmann, the former architect of the king's court building officer .
Even today, the "King loyalists" meet annually on the Sunday closest to the death of the king for a memorial service at the votive chapel.
