geography

The Rosenheim deanery comprises 15 parishes , which are mainly located in the Rosenheim district and parts of the Ebersberg and Mühldorf districts.

history

The first Protestant Christians existed in the area of today's deanery as early as the 16th century, when the Reformation spread also in the Inn valley. The Counts of Hohenaschau, Haag and Maxlrain tried to achieve religious tolerance for their subjects, many of whom were supporters of Luther, from the Munich Duke Albrecht von Wittelsbach . In the cities of Rosenheim and Wasserburg, as well as in Aibling, a majority of the citizens were at times supporters of Martin Luther's teaching in the 16th century. But in the course of the Counter Reformation, Upper Bavaria (except for very small areas: e.g. Hague) was soon ruled by the Roman Catholic Church.

It was a princess, Karoline von Baden , who, as the wife of the Bavarian Elector Maximilian IV. Joseph, brought the Protestant faith back to Upper Bavaria. Shaped by the spirit of the Enlightenment , the elector allowed her to freely practice her denomination. In the course of this opening, colonists from the Palatinate came in 1801 and began to cultivate the moorland east of Aibling. There they founded the town of Großkarolinenfeld and built their first church around 1820, the oldest Protestant church in Old Bavaria. Soon there were also the first Evangelicals in Rosenheim. They met with the master tailor Klepper, the ancestor of the later Klepper works , for a service until the Protestant Church of the Redeemer was built in 1886. From 1899 the Rosenheim Evangelicals had their own pastor. In 1933 Rosenheim became the seat of its own deanery district. Today around 7,500 Protestants live in Rosenheim and around 43,000 in the entire deanery district.
