history

The church gate

Until the 18th century

Dorfen was mentioned in a document for the first time in 773, which also applies to Oberdorfen , as no distinction was made between Dorfen and Oberdorfen.

Dorfen was systematically created around 1230 by Duke Ludwig den Kelheimer , as a base against the Hochstift Freising ( Herrschaft Burgrain ) and against the County of Haag and as an economic center for the area between Erding , Landshut , Wasserburg am Inn and Mühldorf am Inn . Between 1229 and 1237 the place was given market rights by his successor, Duke Otto II the illustrious . The Lower Bavarian dukes endowed the market with rights and freedoms and in 1331 granted it the Landshut market rights with numerous improvements compared to the earlier privileges. Dorfen became the seat of a district judge and was given independent lower jurisdiction and civil self-government in 1324 and 1331 - so that the village of the 13th and 14th centuries was in no way inferior to the cities of that time in terms of its layout and economic life.

In the Thirty Years War the Swedes occupied the market in 1632 and 1634, looting, murdering and burning the houses. In its wake appeared the plague, which swept away a third of the remaining population. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Dorfen was one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in southern Bavaria, together with the Mother of Grace von Dorfen .

19th to 21st century

Around 1885/90 the Hague Gate was demolished and the ramparts removed and the moat filled in and made as a footpath. The Dorfen Beer War took place in 1910 : when the beer mint was supposed to be two pfennigs more expensive due to a malt surcharge , the people's soul was boiling. Strikes and calls for boycotts continued to fuel the mood. The farms of the two breweries went up in flames as a result of arson , and the fire spread to other houses. In Munich pioneers were put on standby, but they were not used because the price increase was withdrawn. Several arrests and criminal proceedings ended the unrest. In the 1920s, after a devastating flood, the Isen, which had previously looped around the market, was straightened. In the years after 1945 the Moosener Siedlung , Isener Siedlung and the Lerchenhuber Siedlung developed , which together have around 2500 residents today.

On November 10, 1954, Dorfen was raised to the status of a city by the Bavarian Interior Minister Wilhelm Hoegner . In Dorfen, the last advertising paper in Germany with the name Intelligence Gazette appears .

On May 25, 2009 the city received the title Place of Diversity awarded by the federal government .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the formerly independent municipality of Watzling and part of the municipality of Eibach were incorporated. On July 1, 1972, Hausmehring and Schwindkirchen (with the Stollnkirchen incorporated on November 25, 1864 ) were added. The municipality of Tegernbach , newly formed on January 1, 1972 from the merger of the former municipalities of Grüntegernbach and Wasentegernbach , was almost completely incorporated into the city of Dorfen on May 1, 1978. The districts of Endsberg and Stetten with a total of only eleven inhabitants were ceded to the community of Schwindegg (district of Mühldorf). In addition, the entire community of Zeilhofen was incorporated.
