The cadastral community of Friedburg is 6.88 km², and it also includes the villages of Baierberg, Gassl, Kühbichl, St. Ulrich and some houses in Ameisberg.

history

Friedburg is believed to have been owned by the bishops of Bamberg in the 12th century and was sold to Konrad and Harding Kuchler in 1377. Konrad's widow sold the castle and the village to Duke Heinrich of Bavaria in 1439 , who elevated Friedburg to a ducal foster court. In 1504 the place was sacked and after the first market survey had been forgotten over the centuries, the market survey took place for the second time in 1930. Only one year later Friedburg was incorporated into Lengau.
