On September 3, 1918, the association was founded as the first of its kind by Bishop Leo von Mergel . Cathedral Chapter Karl Vogt was appointed 1st Chairman . In 1919, cathedral vicar Johann Waldmüller was appointed Caritas director. In 1921 there were already fifty outpatient nursing stations in the association. At that time it had 34 corporate and 93 personal members and joined the German Caritas Association with the other Bavarian diocesan associations. In 1922 there were 53 Caritas committees, twenty-four children's institutions, nine orphanages and four institutions for the disabled. In 1924 there were 90 Caritas committees. In 1925 there were 29 feedings for the poor at monasteries and other institutions.

From 1934 the Caritas collections were stopped by the Third Reich and attempts were made to replace Caritas with the National Socialist People's Welfare . The kindergartens and day care centers were closed.

In 1945 30 kindergartens were founded. In 1948 the number of 188 Caritas committees was reached. The station mission in Ingolstadt was also opened. In 1950 a maternal convalescent home was opened in Denkendorf. In 1952 the Association of Social Services for Catholic Women was founded.

In 1962 the first district offices were founded in Schwabach, Neumarkt and Ingolstadt. In 1963, the Malteser Aid Service was founded as the second professional association.

This was followed by the inauguration of the nursing homes in Ingolstadt (1965), Greding St. Magdalena (1968), Eichstätt St. Elisabeth (1970), Weißenburg St. Walburg (1971), Berching St. Franziskus (1972), Nuremberg - Langwasser St. Josef (1974), Dietfurt brother Balthasar Werner (1974), Neumarkt St. Johannes (1983) and Nürnberg- Altenfurt Caritas Pirckheimer (1987).

In 1989 the Kreuzbund founded a diocesan association in the diocese. In 1990 the Heilsbronn old people's home was taken over by Abenberg Abbey , in 1991 the old people's home in Denkendorf was taken over by the local church foundation, in 1992 St. Anna in Deining by the local St. Josefs Association, and in 1995 St. Josef in Ingolstadt- Gerolfing by the local church foundation. In 1997, the St. Josef retirement home built by the city of Freystadt and operated by Caritas was opened as a replacement for the Caritas retirement home in Möning . The Caritas Foundation has existed since 2007.
