Frieding is one of the five districts of Andechs in the Upper Bavarian district of Starnberg . The most famous son of the village is the Bavarian folk poet Georg Queri , who was born here on April 30, 1879. A supposed meteorite impact on the Egelsee made Frieding world famous in 1995. There are ten clubs in this - relatively small - town .

history

Early days

The oldest find in the Frieding area is a stone battle ax around 4,000 years old , dating from the end of the Neolithic .

There were mounds found, probably 800-400 v. Were created. Some have now been leveled and paved over, but a large number can still be clearly seen in the landscape today .

Roman times

The area around the Starnberger- and Ammersee was relatively densely populated in Roman times. A Roman road starting from Gauting went over the Friedinger corridors to Kempten . The Romans burned bricks in a village called "Blattenstein" (an area that belongs to Frieding) and also built a nursery there.

middle Ages

Frieding was first mentioned in a document as Frutinnen 1123 in a deed of donation from the Counts of Andechs . A servant of the Count von Andechs named Luitfried von Frutinnen served as a witness at the donation.

It was probably founded at the time when the places with -ing ending were created, around the 6th century AD. Historians are certain about the origin of the name von Frieding or its old spellings Frouetingen , Vrouttingen , Vrouting or Fruittingen : Vrou or Frou means nothing else than woman . It is also possible that Frieding was founded by a woman.

Thirty Years' War

The Thirty Years' War did not leave Frieding unscathed either. Both the enemy and their own soldiers marched through the village, pillaging, pillaging, murdering and raping. In addition to the soldiers, there were other catastrophes such as crop failures , storms, frost and the plague , which was brought in by pilgrims . According to oral tradition, the entire village was burned to the ground in early 1634. After a few years of recovery, the soldiers returned again in 1646, but they were more devastated than all the enemy troops in front of them. Only the end of the war, with the Peace of Westphalia , brought peace and quiet to Frieding again.

Kingdom of Bavaria

In the course of secularization in 1803, the Andechs monastery was also dissolved and the property was nationalized. This meant that the Friedinger neighboring village Widdersberg the parish was assigned Frieding. Count Toerring from Seefeld also abolished serfdom for the Friedingen farmers at this time , and in 1807 Frieding became a separate municipality (until 1978). It is noteworthy that Frieding was only slightly smaller than today's district town of Starnberg at that time :

Frieding: 50 managed properties with 234 inhabitants
Starnberg: 63 managed properties with 297 inhabitants

According to an entry in the property tax register from 1811, it is certain that there was already a school in Frieding. But it was not until 1825 that a separate school was built for it, which served the Friedinger and Widdersberg students well until 1972.

In the Franco-German War nine Friedinger served, eight of which came back.

First and Second World War

In the First World War , 27 young Friedingers served, 16 of whom were considered dead or missing after the war. The times after the war were also bad for the Friedinger, with inflation , the global economic crisis and bad harvests. However, as is the case in bad times, this made people stick together more, which is reflected in the founding of associations at that time.

Of all the able-bodied men from Frieding who went to the Second World War , 24 did not return home. Frieding was also of strategic importance: a dummy airport was built on the Friedinger corridors, which was supposed to divert the Allies from the real airports in Oberpfaffenhofen and Penzing . In 1943, the Friedingen church bells were melted down due to lack of material and processed into ammunition and weapons.

post war period

The first goal that the inhabitants set themselves in the post-war period was to get new bells. Financed, among other things, by theater performances by the Friedinger theater group, the consecration of the bell was celebrated on March 3, 1949.

In the 1960s, the roads to and within Frieding were paved.

The municipal reform forced the previously independent municipality of Frieding with 484 residents to decide to join Herrsching am Ammersee or Erling-Andechs . On August 31, 1975, the local council voted for Erling-Andechs. The incorporation took effect on January 1, 1978, one day before the municipality of Erling-Andechs was officially renamed Andechs .

The hole from the Egelsee

Frieding achieved worldwide fame on March 4, 1995: A local demolition master's culture explosion was misinterpreted by a police helicopter crew as a meteorite impact . The misunderstanding could only be cleared up the next day. The problem, however, was that the news was already in the press . Thousands of scientists, amateur astronomers, journalists and enthusiastic citizens wanted to marvel at the hole (twelve meters wide, three meters deep) up close. Scientists from Japan are even said to have called.
