history

In the corridor marking Im Gschanz you can find the remains of a late Celtic square hill .

The place is mentioned for the first time in 1188, if it can be equated with "Piburch". In 1305, in the dispute over the inheritance of the Hirschberg counts after their extinction with Count Gebhard VII , the village was awarded to the Eichstätt monastery . In 1417 Duke Ludwig the Bearded also had possessions in the village. In 1447 fiefdoms in Biberg include: 1 hospital fiefdom , 1 Pfalzpainter fiefdom, 2 church fiefdoms and 1 Absberg-Rumburg fiefdom, which in 1488 becomes a Rebdorf fiefdom. In 1756 the village consisted of two courtyards, nine Köbler estates and four empty houses. Until the secularization , Biberg belonged to the lower Hochstift Eichstätt and within it to the care and caste office Kipfenberg; The Köblergut of the Eichstätter Hospital was also assigned to this. A court was under the judicial office of the Eichstätt cathedral chapter .

During the secularization, the lower bishopric and with it Biberg came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802/03 . from Tuscany and 1806 to the Kingdom of Bavaria . There the village belonged to the Kipfenberg district court .

In 1808 the tax district Schelldorf was formed from Biberg, Krut and Schelldorf . In 1818 it became independent communities again. In 1830 there was a renewed union of Krut and Biberg; at that time the village had 96 inhabitants in 23 properties. In 1950 the population had risen to 122 in 23 properties.

In 1968 land consolidation was carried out. To the district office, later belonging to the Middle Franconian district of Eichstätt, Biberg joined the market of Kipfenberg in the district of Eichstätt during the Bavarian territorial reform on April 1, 1971. About a year later this district changed from Middle Franconia to Upper Bavaria. In 1983 the town had 301 inhabitants who were mainly active in agriculture in three full-time and eleven part-time businesses. In the village there are small shops, a restaurant and a sports field with tennis courts, a soccer field and a playground. There are two large wind turbines near the village .

Catholic branch church St. Andreas

Biberg (2007: 264 Catholics) is a branch of the parish Schelldorf. The sacred building of the “ Chorturmkirche ” type, originally a medieval complex, was rebuilt in 1739; the sacristy on the north side of the choir dates from 1600 and has a barrel vault . The square tower with its "pear dome" was given its current height by an octagonal addition in 1747. The choir in it has a burr cross vault . In 1930 the church was restored. An exterior renovation took place in 2005.

The furnishings include baroque altars (1700–1720) and Gothic sculptures, including a figure of the church patron from the 1st half of the 14th century and two late Gothic side figures (1470–80) on the main altar, St. Nicholas and St. Performing Wolfgang . A "good creation" (Mader, p. 44) is a figure of Mary with the baby Jesus holding the globe, created around 1510. During a general renovation in 1990, ceiling paintings were exposed and frescoes were reworked.
