Breitenhill is a church village and part of the Altmannstein market in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt .

location

The place lies on the plateau of the southern Franconian Jura east of Denkendorf and the federal highway 9 and west of the federal highway 299. From Pondorf a local road leads to Megamnnsdorf and further to Breitenhill; there is also a local road from Winden to Breitenhill.

Place name interpretation

Breitenhill is derived from Prettenhill . The ending -hill comes from Hüll , which means that a wide Hüll used to exist here . Karl Kugler rejects this interpretation and interprets the place name as a village on the toad hull from the Old High German “preita”, “the toad.” Because of the scarcity of water in the Jura, a “wide hull” is hardly to be expected.

history

Prettenhill was first mentioned in 1136/37 in the founding document of the Regensburg Bishop Heinrich I for the Augustinian Canons Schamhaupten . In 1554 the shabby provost Schamhaupten and thus Breitenhill came under secular administration; In 1606/09, under the Bavarian Duke Maximilian I, with the approval of Pope Paul V, the University of Ingolstadt received the provost's income.

On April 1, 1949, Breitenhill was incorporated with the neighboring village of Megmannsdorf and the village of Winden into the municipality of Winden in the then Upper Palatinate district of Riedenburg . From 1954 to 1966, Breitenhill was part of the Winden school district. As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Winden and thus Breitenhill was incorporated into the Altmannstein market on July 1, 1977 . Thus Breitenhill came from the Upper Palatinate district of Riedenburg, which was dissolved at the same time, to the formerly Middle Franconian, now Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt.

In 1961 the village had 16 residential buildings. In 1983 there were two full-time agricultural businesses and ten part-time businesses, an inn, a retail shop and a craft business in the village.
