history

Klosterhofmark

From 1120 to 1130 a settlement called Cella is documented for the first time in the traditions of Vornbach Abbey . It was a deserted courtyard with a chapel dedicated to St. Lawrence. The farm later belonged to the parish of Irsham, which is mentioned for the first time in 1075. In the 13th century the courtyard and church were uncultivated and abandoned.

Canon Hartwig von Passau bought the farm and the land and founded a monastery for the Cistercians in 1274 . In the same year, Duke Heinrich XIII awarded. von Niederbayern the Zellhof decree of all material and personal benefits, duty-free and lower jurisdiction . Because of this grace, Zell was renamed Fuerstencelle . The newly founded monastery was settled from the Aldersbach monastery .

After that, the history of the place and the monastic Hofmark was closely linked to the Fürstenzell monastery . Until the 15th century there were no houses in the actual prince's cell apart from the monastery. The parish church responsible for the residents of Fürstenzell was in Unterirsham.

Fürstenzell after secularization

With the secularization in Bavaria , the Fürstenzell monastery was dissolved. The Wieninger family acquired the monastery and farm buildings, gave the residents of the area work and allowed settlement in the area. In 1807 the monastery church became a parish church. The previous parish church in Unterirsham was demolished.

Until 1838 the community of Fürstenzell belonged to the district court of Griesbach and was then assigned to the newly established district court of Passau II. In 1840 there were three farmers, 29 cottagers and eleven craftsmen in Fürstenzell in addition to the monastery property.

The Wieninger family sold the building complex of the former monastery in November 1928 to the episcopal brewery Hacklberg , which, however, sold it to the German province of the Marist Fathers in 1930 . The Marists opened the Marist High School in 1948.

Fürstenzell since the Second World War

The town hall of Fürstenzell

After the Second World War, building activity began in Fürstenzell, not least because of the influx of refugees. Fürstenzell received a town hall in 1950, a Protestant church in 1953, an eight-class elementary school in 1955, an outdoor swimming pool in 1962 and a mechanical-biological sewage treatment plant in 1967.

The local hospital was expanded significantly in 1932, but had to close in 1997. In the rooms there is now an outpatient trauma surgery and an eye clinic. In 2008 the dialysis center moved to a new building nearby. The former nurses' home has been home to the state health department since a renovation. The children's home, a women's convent with an attached kindergarten, built a home elementary school for girls in 1969/70. In 1971/72 a new building for the Marist High School was built for around 1000 students.

For the 900th anniversary of the parish and 700th anniversary of the monastery, Fürstenzell was given the name Markt on June 26, 1975. The new town hall of the sub-center Fürstenzell was built in 1982/83.

Incorporations

As part of the regional reform, the municipalities of Altenmarkt and Bad Höhenstadt and parts of the municipality of Engertsham were incorporated on January 1, 1972 . In 1978, most of the Voglarn community and parts of the Sandbach community followed .

Population development

In the period from 1988 to 2018, the market grew from 6,948 to 8,157 by 1,209 inhabitants or 17.4%.
